Herriman

Dear family and Friends,

SOo we had another good week here in the Herriman fire bones zone. The mission training plan that elder foster and i came up with is working we are starting to see some improvement. It was really exciting to see the numbers improve where we actually wanted them too. I just hope they continue to do the things that we have trained them to do. I feel like there are always people to contact here in herriman we have lots of things to do and we are seeing some good fruit. But sooo many people cancel on us. its really frustrating. And we didnt have any of our investigators come to church... it was sad. they all siad they would come and none of them did. Really though our problem is we are not meeting with them enough. we need to have more frequent lessons so we can help them progress. 

So today for PDay we are fishing. Hopefully we catch something because last monday we didnt. We are going to use worms thins time. 

Got my hair cut today at sports clip and it was the most amazing thing ever! they had massage chairs, and warm clothes and i just love it. 

Love you lots

Elder Salmon

Dear Family and Friends,

Soo i had a great talk with my parents and family back at home. good to see everyone is doing well. Althgouh i feel like everyone was talking about me coming home. ;) #notgettingtrunky

So not much happened since yesterday  but i do want to share something funny. so we were teaching a kids about the gsopel of jesus christ and we taught about baptism and we asked what we do after we are baptized to be forgiven of our sins and he replied we need to take the "Bread of Liberty!" i haven no idea where he got that from but it is so true. i kinda like that name myself but i dont think the prophet with want to change the name.

Dear Family and Friends,

Sorry about the abrupt nature of my last email. We were in a rush to get a lot of things done. Because i am in Herriman we are the farthest zone from the mission office. It takes us around 25 minutes to get there and we have to go every Monday. And Because we are zone leaders we have to move everyone's stuff around get the mail and just do a lot of random service for the members of our zone. Today we have a little more time. Not as many things to do but we stiull have to help 2 sisters change apartments. So that is going to take up some time. 

So i love this area that i serve in. We have soo many potentials its just hard tying all of them down and getting them to meet with us. We picked up 3 inv in the last 2 weeks which is really good. and it looks like we should pick a up a few more soon. 

Soo here in the Herriman zone we have another name that we use. we call everyone Herriman fire bones because we have fire in our bones like it talks about in jeremiah 16. its kinda funny but elder foster and i have really run with it to help motivate and get everyone excited about the work. Like we made an Acronym for F.I.R.E. and it was pretty funny but we were able to bend it so that it would actually be what we needed it to be. We are also planning on getting t shirts for the zone... what ever. its what the zone wanted.

OUr land lady is really cool. she bujys all of our groceries and will make us food on any day that we need it. and she doesnt let us to our dishes. i got in trouble when i was doing my dishes. And i think i told you about my kind size bed! oh my goodness it is the best sleep ive ever gotten. 

This month Elder Foster and i also had to make the training plan for our zone! this is what all the district mtgs and the commitments this month are based off of. it took us a long time discussing and asking the lord before we made something we liked. As well as the mission training plan we taught some doctrine about the atonement in our Zone training meeting. We are really focusing on the atonement as a mission and i love it. Our president understand soo much. he can answer all my questions. its just whether or not he will answer them. haha. 

So i guess i will call next week on mothers day. soo  we decided we will call at 7.  so i think thats 6 your time. soo expect it then. 

Also HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM! i know its late but hey i remembered. that's better than most years.

Love Elder Salmon
