"See you all in a year"

Dear family and Friends,

It is already august. i dont know how this happened. its pretty scary that the summer is almost over. i prefer to do missionary work during the warmer months than during the snow... but i guess if i dont mess up or anything it sounds like i might be in leadership until i die... :( atleast ill have a car during the snow months. Well the sisters had a baptism this last saturday! i was so happy. they were struggling a bit and i was doing my very best to help them. but they did the miracle. this guy was being taught for a long time and i wanted him dropped by they showed him that this is for them and he got dunked.

Well this past week was alright. i ran into a member that is working on the Ipads for us missionaries. i gave him a bunch of ideas he had never thought about that would help us out. i think he really enjoyed my ideas because i showed him where we really need the ipads and what we would really like them to be able to do. And i was trying to convince him we need it more in utah because we have so many wards. I dont think it worked. i have no idea when we will get the stuff.

Hmm not much happened this week. Robin pushed her date back so it is now Thursday. But i guess this last week we were doing our best to find. this week hopefully we should pick up two new investigators... i am praying. still looking for a translator and trying to get a hold of this guy named bob. and every time i talk with him he calls me "boss" and i think hes drunk. so this could be really exciting.

In one of the wards here the bishop called a special meeting to start a ward fast. we were present and it was very spiritual. hopefully we will be rewarded by our efforts. I dont know if i told her much about the area im in but its right next to the temple and the developments are all pretty new. so its pretty wealthy area and it is very hard getting people to open there doors and talk to us. i went tracting on Saturday and had 5 doors in a row slam on me. never had that happen before. its all good. Life goes on and ill keep testifying and i cant make them choose.

Well not much happened this week. we have transfers next week and i think we might get 35 new missionaries... which is a ton. I hope everyone is doing well. See you all in a year. haha.

Love you Bye.
