My week was busy too, not as busy as yours. Mia was baptized and we found a family too teach, we are having trouble getting them committed but they are good kids, I hope they made it to church, we had to go to Mia’s confirmation, which was at the same time as their church. We had some fun with the district and we had dinner with a family that runs a bakery out of their house "Mama Crimin’s Cookies" she makes really good cookies (we had pie). Our house is cramped, and I am getting kind of sad because next month I can't go to see Ray and Johnny anymore. But the gospel is true and I am excited to serve here. I am happy to hear every one is having fun, and that I have another member of the family. Thank you for the letters, love you lots!

My week was great, we had a great district meeting and we are planning a party for Elder Flake and Elder Garette. We got a lot of paper work done, and found Mia a baptism suit that fits, and we received news about a family wanting the gospel and we have a lesson tonight with them. So much fun, my companions great, Goodrick is crazy; the other two are too but it’s fun living with them.  We get some good insight from each other. We have lots of fun finding, teaching, and practicing with each other. But we are making progress and things are going well.  We went to Bountiful today, stopped by Johnny and Rays to say “hay”. They’re doing well, I kinda miss this area but that's all good, making friends and teaching the gospel is great. It's that simple, be a friend to everyone and they will come around eventually and remember everything translates, I've learned that you can teach with good analogies of anything and people remember better when it's related to something they care about. I love you a lots!

Well the allergies are just as annoying as ever, but I am going to buy some medicine for them. My week was good we got Mia ready for baptism and she is exited and rescheduled it with our other investigators. I had a great week, although I had to wait to get a new card to buy thing, but that’s ok I got it now. We’ve been exercising lately too so I feel better. We are working with the auxiliaries to find investigators and things are going good. It’s weird to see "limbs" there that are about the size of the trees down here! Well, Love you lots!

Well my week was good.   We did a lot of good service and we had a lot of new investigators.   I will stay in Clinton and get Elder Goodrick, he sounds cool. Motsumai is going to Kaysville.  We had a funny district meeting where some elders trained a robin to stand on its hands, so guess who got attacked by said robin? It was probably the funniest thing that happened this week but it was a long week and it’s good to be able to be here to see the harvest. Elder Flake is going to the Clinton north area so that will be fun, it’s just north of me. Elder Garret is training and we have two with a date and a father and son who are beginning to investigate.  It is great to see how the gospel changes lives.  Well not much else exciting is happening, love you all lots!

I enjoyed talking on Sunday, it was great to talk with you and everyone, we had good day. We had fun this past week not to much excitement but enough for me. I went to the temple today and stopped by some old friends of mine (former investigators) they were so surprised to see me it was fun, I’d send pictures this week but these computers don't have USB. I am doing well having tons of fun, and doing lots of good work, but still not the kind I enjoy teaching baptizing and making friends its hard right now because we are finding and that is the tough part about missions. But we have a good week planned with several lessons and Mia might set a date so that’s good it makes me happy.  Thanks Dustin for the encouragement and support I love you a lot bro.  I love you Mom and happy mother’s day to everyone! I love you lots!

I was going to call you, around 5 your time, I’ll call tomorrow and make an appointment more official, I just want to overlap with Dustin really, have everyone else be there or on the phone since they ditched on Christmas.  Any way to more important things

My week was great, we lost Elder Bohana so we only cover one stake now and there are only two of us.  One of our investigators is getting really close to baptism and she is so funny, she told us she wanted to tell us that she was thinking about it, before her boyfriend got there cause she wants it to be more personal (sorry for the atrocious grammar)

We still walk but I only have one blister! I feel lots better physically, and we our getting along swimmingly as companions and everything is going great! Yesterday we were followed by a dog a whole block so we brought it back and talk with his owner, cool guy less active but he's trying. We have had lot of disappointment lately but it’s great for otherwise, we just need to motivate our investigators and ward mission leaders, Auxiliaries and general member but other than that...

So cool Cam is getting married! It’s so exciting to see covenants made like that!  Love you guys’ lots!

Oh HAPPY BIRTHDAY! to Jordan and to any one I forgot.

My week was good, we had fun going over lesson's, but we haven't had any new and no one wants to be baptized    :( but there our other prospects and we our getting referrals and people are going to invite friends, so that’s always good. We had zone conference the other day, it was amazing. I had so much fun doing things.  Sister Olsen had some great activities for us, and I learned a lot. Everything sounds cool…  It sounds like the wedding was fun.  We found a costume shop and we are planning an adventure there.... it'll be fun.

Love you lots!
