Hello everyone!!
This week has been ok. We are still having a hard time getting people to progress and we are having a hard time getting people to come to church. We went out and went knocking on doors. We were able to find 10 new investigators because of it. Out of those 10 we found 5 new families to teach! We are going to help them progress as best as we can. They are all interested so I hope that they will all listen to the spirit as it testifies of the truth to them. I have learned that going on a mission builds you up spiritually big time!! I am loving it out here. Sure times get rough occasionally but it is so rewarding! The amount of time I have been out here has been Great!! I am enjoying every minute of this!! I cant believe that I am coming up on my 7 month mark!! Time goes by way fast!! I have been in my new area for a month and a half already! Things here are great! So here is a cool little thing that happens to us when we go tracting or knocking on doors. When we are walking around the streets people always come up to us and ask us if we are lost! Ha ha it catches me off guard sometimes but it gives us a chance to share with them what we do. Another thing that people do is they yell "Molungu!" which means "white guys" in Zhulu. It is funny because everyone stares at us and they all yell it too and they usually ask us if we are lost. This is one of the ways that we meet people and share with them the gospel. So far it has been really good here!
So Mom, That is not good that Alta played so ruff!!! That is not good that Bingham didnt play so well either. At least they got to play on the University of Utah's Field! That must have been really cool for them to do that! That is crazy that school is already starting! Time goes by way too fast!! It is crazy because I am coming up on my 7 month mark! Things are getting better and better as the weeks go by. So sorry I have been using my goldenwest account a lot lately! I am preparing to send a package home to you guys because Dad's birthday is coming up! I am going to send some really cool stuff home so I hope they will reach you guys! That is cool that Jake gave a talk about how my mission is going so far!! Im sorry I havent been sending any cool stories home to you all lately! I will do my best to share more experiences so if any of you have to give a report on me you will have more information. That is Awesome that the Wright Family Reunion was last week!! It sounds like everyone is doing well!! Im sorry we werent able to get the word out to everyone about me leaving! We will have to invite everyone to my homecoming! Right now I am ok with everything so please tell your friend thank you so much for the help!
Dad, That is Awesome that President Monson said that about the new missionaries in the Salt Lake area!! I look forward to hearing about how that goes for the kingdom of God!! Im sure there will be Many blessed because of that! The work is moving forward and the Kingdom of God is getting bigger and bigger! I look forward to the day when almost all the countries have missionaries in them!! That will be really cool!! So your birthday is coming up! Sorry I have been pulling so much money out of my account!! I have been preparing to send a package home for your birthday! I am send something really cool in it!! I hope it will get there next week or so. I will individually wrap or package your gift so if you want you can open it on your birthday or you can open it right when you receive it. I hope all is going well with Grandpa Parks!! I have a name tag for him but I need their home address!! I am going to send it to our house instead so will you give it to Grandpa for me?? If you could do that for me that would be great!! That quote from Sister Ames is a really good quote!! I may post that on my wall in my apartment! I hope all is going well at home!!
Nate, That is not good that the people in Nate's apartment are crack heads!! I cant tell you how many people I have run into here that are doing the same thing! I know how you feel! That is Awesome that you have started college already!! I hope all will go well and I know that if you work hard and you study hard you will succeed and get far in your schooling!! Just remember that you are a future missionary so do your best!! I hope all goes well and I hope you have a wonderful week!!
Jake, That is Awesome that you got to play on The University of Utah's Field!!! I wish I was able to walk onto that field!! That is Awesome that you gave a talk on my mission so far!! Im sorry I havent revealed or have given you any cool experiences for that!! I will do my best to share more experiences!!! I hope all goes well and have a wonderful week!!
Josh, That is not good that you guys lost your game!!! That is really Awesome that you scored a 70 yard touchdown!!!! Congratulations on that! That is crazy that school is already starting!! I hope all goes well and work hard!
Alex, That is cool that you all went up to the reunion!! I hope that went well!! That is way cool that you are in the D.A.R.E program!! I remember when I did that! That was so fun! In fact I still have my dare shirt. I will have to show it to you when I get home in a year and a half. I hope you have a wonderful week!!
I hope all goes well at home and you all have a wonderful week!! I love you all!!!
