Hey mom!
Yeah I had a better week! Yeah I spoke in sacrament my first Sunday here! I forgot to tell you. We are eating way to good! I hope I am not gaining weight we work out every morning at the gym! Yeah we gave a blessing to a lady in the hospital last week it was pretty powerful. Yeah I wrote Hadley and I am going to write shade today! I sure hope they went skydiving!!
Well that trip sounds fun! Lagoon and swimming I am sure they loved it!
Things went well this week we found 10 new investigators. But we did a lot of finding and we are hoping some of them turn good! We had to set back some baptism dates for people cause they didn't come to church or they fell back into temptations, but I know they will be baptized soon! So we are hoping and praying and fasting that things will work out.
This week we were interviewed by the Oxford Eagle (the newspaper) they took our picture and asked questions and put us on the second page, so i am pretty much famous! I will send you a copy of the newspaper soon! i just got to get ahold of it. This week there will be something arriving at your door for your part b-day mom. So I hope your home. I am not going to change over my mission, i want to keep my same personality, yet be able to be serious when the time comes dad!! haha i wont change.
Story of the week: So our ward mission leader, Bro. Roseman, asked if we could go to an Ole Miss game. We were like that would be sweet! but we didn't know. So we call up president, we ask him if we can go to the game? He said ya know what, i have never been to one and i would love to go! He asked if he could take us? We were like of course you can! He then told us, call me back with the details. So we got the details, Sept. 7 at 6:00. We called him back and he said, dang sorry guys i cant make it to that one... but then he said, you guys go ahead! We went cray cray! He is letting us go to an Ole Miss game! We went and bought our tickets, we got front row, 40 yard line seats to the first home game that Ole Miss plays! They are playing South East Missouri State but still it is going to be sweet! Missionaries going to a football game! yeeehaaa! who can say they did that on their mission! And then the next day we got interviewed by the paper! Crazy week we are pretty much famous!
So yeah we are pretty excited to go to the game this upcoming week! This week we set up the apartment for the sisters, and guess what! of course they get a flippin nice apartment! Ours is such a dump! But we were nice and put all their beds together and things so we were nice about it.
Spiritual: If you look in Moses, idk what chapter but it talks about Adam and Eve. It says that Adam and Eve lived 130 years before they had kids... Then for 800 years they had kids, and then died at age 930. Wow that is old. I thought, "How many Kids did they have??" so i did some math, took out some variables and i came to the reasonable number. If they had a kid every nine months to the T... Adam and Eve would have had around 983 kids! That is a lot of kids! I bet that made you guys cry it was so spiritual!
Thanks for the shoes and everything mom i love them!! Thanks for everything! i love you guys and miss you all! i miss everyone, all my friends and everything! Hi to all'ya'all that look at my blog! thanks for the support. Love everyone, love jesus!
