October 28

i really dont have anything more to tell you today... i havent done anything. no new inv. and we are not teaching anyone...
But dont be discouraged because im not!!! i really am happy because im clean. im doing my best and i have done my very best to teach the people here in south jordan. Everyone just says no. sooo what do i do  but keep working and have faith in the lord.
i get to go to georgettes baptism in november in the other mission! hehe shes pretty solid. But really though lifes good. We have one more full week then transfers. ive been doing a ton of splits with the Zls this transfer... not sure what that means but we are going golfing today with them. ill probably lose because im terrible.  but this is probably my weekly letter. sorry im also kinda lazy today.

Dear family and friends, well not much is happening here in south jordan. This week we have a meeting with the area authority and he will be training the whole ward councils on how to work properly. i think he is also going to role play in front of everyone and im pretty sure he will use us in the role play. im a little nervous because im not sure what i will have to do. It is staring to get cold here and i was thinking i pretty much have everything i need for the winter. i might buy a another sweater, one thats more like a cardigan just because i can now and it would be a little warmer than the argyle sweaters taht i have.
So georgettes baptism got pushed back by the west missionaries to the 6th of nov. i hope i can go. 
This month i should have 2 sealings that i might be able to attend. Elder Kulu and i taught jen and ron nichols and they are scheduled to be sealed this month!!! soo excited to see them. he is in the EQ presidency right now. so im very glad for that experience to teach him. And Scott will be sealed to his parents! its going to be sooo good! i love the temple!
Not much has happened we are looking to pick up two new inv. this week. pray for us.

Dear Family and Friends,
Well, its only been 5 days. i could get use to having a pday every few days. but thats not going to happen. We just passed our half way mark on this transfer. times goes by to fast. it has been a long time since we have found a new investigator and we are really struggling with that district wide. tomorrow we have a special district mtg on finding. lots of participation. i delegated out the training among the district. Also during tht time we will be having interviews with the mission president so the Aps will be attending our mtg. We got to go to the temple last thursday! WOW!! thats all i have to say. this made a lot of my impressions and guesses way clearer. i loved it! it was like a movie! but real! and i learned doctrine! all the things that i wanted.
So georgette is supposed to be getting baptised this Sunday. we are running into some complications from the west mission. i know it is the best situation for her to be baptized as well as confirmed in her home ward and so we contacted the missionaries over there. however what they want to do could very well cause a lot of conflict so we are working it out so that she has the best situation. i will make sure the baptism will happen this sunday either here or in her home ward i dont care. she has a very strong testimony. she knows that if she joins there will be conflict in her family and she is willing to go through that to be baptized. i am impressed.
well i am alive and well.
