Well, next week is Labor Day and the library will be closed and I can’t do emails, so just send me a letter ASAP so I’ll get it Sat or Mon. Hope to hear from you all. Tell the fam to each write me a letter please. I would love to hear from everybody. K. Well, I’ll write you guys a letter about some experiences that I’ve had since I’m running out of time. Well, have fun working and have a good week.

Typical Day

A typical day for me is I wake up at 6:30 and exercise for a bit and then get ready for the day. Then we have personal and companionship study. Then we go out and teach most of the time or try to find people or sometimes we'll do service and then we have lunch and then we go out to our appointments and find people to teach until around 6 and then we have dinner most of the time with members and then we go teach for a little bit longer and then we come home plan for the next day and then we get ready for bed and thats about it thats the missionary for you right there.

Ya I'll probably go to walmart today and get the pictures I want you guys to see. Yah I saw the pics of Shayanna and Steven they're pretty nice.

So how's the family doing? It would be nice to hear from Shayanna about the past few weeks haha, and Cameron

Well our 1st transfer is up and we had 4 baptisms so that was way sweet and we've been teaching a lot.

Send me one of Shayanna and Steven's cards so I can see what it looks like. The humidity isnt that bad here the worst days are pretty much over its just hot and it rains so much here.

Another Week in Danville

Hello Everyone

My week was pretty good.  We have been teaching alot and have another baptism this weekend.  That is way sweet that he gave her a ring.  I'm happy for Shayanna and Steven.  That is so wierd that she's getting married cuz she never thought about getting married at 20 and I'm sure none of us did, but I'm so happy for Her and Steven.  Tell them good luck and I luv them.  So when is their offical date when they are getting married?  Does Steven spend time with the boys a lot?

I will take pics of those things you wanted.  Well a spiritual experience that we have had is we have been teaching this older lady for awhile and she has come to church twice and is keeping all her commitments so that is really cool.  Hopefully it is not long before she's baptized.

It sounds like you guys had a lot of fun at Uncle Wayne's with a bunch of the family.  Dad thats pretty sweet that you got to fly with uncle Wayne. Too bad you didnt feel so good in the plane when you were flying?  Yah, I'll  make some copies of some pictures for you at walmart and send you some.  I like it here in Danville.  The members are awesome here and we are teaching a lot which is really nice. 

I am good right now just some pictures would be sweet.

Hows the fam doing?  Anything I can do for you guys? haha

luv ya

The work is going great here.

I'm doing pretty good here. We are teaching a lot and we've already had 3 baptisms and a few more soon hopefully. We are teaching a lot and finding a few poeple but its going good. When we were at PEC the Elders Quorum president said this is the most missionary work he has seen in Danville so that was pretty cool. The work is going great here.

1. Are you and your companion the only elders in your ward, or are

there other missionaries in Danville? Yes were the only ones in Danville and in a week well be covering the Caswell area as well.

2. Do you guys spend time tracting or just going from appointment to

appointment, or to members homes? Sometimes we go to members home and we also have a lot of appointments.

3. When is the next transfer date? Do you think you two will stay another transfer for you to get your feet well planted? The next transfer is aug 21. I dont know yet if we will stay. Maybe we will

4. How long has your companion been out? Dad's friend there in NC

thought he heard that he might be going home soon. He still has a while left in the mission.

5. Do you have any advice for Miles and Cameron yet? Just to read and study but they never write back so I dont know. haha. Just tell them to make time to read and study.

6. What was your favorite teaching experience this week? This lady that we have been teaching the whole time I've been here finally came to church and she loved it, and is going to keep coming.

7. Who got baptized this weekend? His name is Cortez. We have already had 3 baptisms so far.

8. Did you do any service for anyone this week? Mostly we just mow lawns and we helped a family in the ward with their house they are building.

Love,

Things are going great.

Hello Family and Friends

I baptized William Wimbish this weekend. He was being taught for like 2 years so I’m glad he finally became a member. It was pretty slow last week because people didn’t keep there appointments. We still are teaching a lot and the members are really cool here even though the ward is small. They feed us and go out with us a lot. They feed us pretty good I’ve gained a few pounds lol. Any tips on losing wieght? Any good foods to eat?

We’ve already had 2 baptisms this month and have another this weekend so it’s going really good out here. We’re teaching around 30 lessons a week.

We talked to this one guy on Saturday about baseball for like an hour. He played in the minor leagues so that was pretty cool. That is really cool that Jeff is coming back and I hope he keeps coming. Tell Grandma and Grandpa thanks and I love them. I started reading the B of M in the MTC and I’m in Alma right now and were just studying Preach My Gospel and some other stuff. Its going really good well have a good week.

Love Ya
