Sounds like everything is going pretty well for us these days and im so grateful for what the lord has done for us.
Ya the Murrows mean a lot to me and they are the best people I've probably met on my mission, them and the families that have helped them out. We eat dinner with them a lot and were all pretty good friends they're awesome people. I dont know if I've told you yet but Linda has adopted me, :) she calls me her adopted son its way cool. They are awesome.
We had a great time at the bar-b-q with the Murrows, Farrisss and the Killebrews.
I played some tennis this morning and got my butt kicked by our wml Bro Hazembuller but im still pretty new I've only played like 5 times. I mess up a lot and make really dumb mistakes but im getting way better and got a pretty wicked serve half the time:)
Is miles hurting himself more these days? haha jk
Miles told me about Dakota and him starting the lessons its way cool he's already a better missionary than me already got 1 baptism with Ben and now Dakota he'll tear it up in the real field:)

Wow never knew that it was such a long and hard process but im glad things r going well and everything has worked out the way it has. the house looked really good in the pics and looks pretty big but too bad it doesnt have a basement haha jk
Thats really cool that Steven and Shayanna will be able to come down and spend some time with yall and to get away from idaho i guess haha is it still cold up there?
Well my best experience this week was when we went to a baptism up in lake norman. I had taught her on exchanges and she got baptized and the Murrows are friends with her and the family that helped her get baptized. They had a great experience and then we all went out to the olive garden and had a great time its funny they call me and Elder Mathis their sons now its kinda funny and i cant wait to see them get baptized. other than that our week wasnt the greatesr and idk if ive told yall that i started playing tennis and its pretty fun im getting pretty good at it.

It was awesome. when i was playing tennis with our wml this morning we told us that Linda introduced herself in relief society and told everyone that shes getting baptized soon:) im way excited for her and her fam its way awesome weve been working hard and trying to find more ppl but its hard sometimes and i know that well continue to find those who are ready through obedience and being diligent

Well some cool stories is that the Murrows the sweetest family ever are committed to baptism, her daughters best friend is a member so she goes a lot as well, and at the end of our mtg saturday night shes asked her husband if he wanted to and hes like ive already been baptized and she told him that it didnt count cause you need authority:) and she was talking trash kinda on her sis in law it was funny
Thats a really good subject thats actually a thing ive been working on is my prayers and its helped me a lot
Thats sweet about his talk, about missionaries its so awesome out here i luv it
Well we had a good week, we have a lot a good people were working with and a couple really awesome people one thing i didnt like this week was we got the cops called us, 3rd time in this area its crazy and frustrating at sometimes but i get through it and when we were on exchanges, the missionary i was with crashed on his bike into grass, he wasnt hurt but it was one of the funniest things ive seen out here haha its awesome out here.
Well hope everything continues going good and have a good week luv ya.

Ya its so crazy that Cameron is about to leave for his mission but its so awesome i luv being out here:)
we meet a few funny ppl some guy who knew a lot about the church and was clowning on us but not really haha he was like "my name is mr. x haha and that i have 19 kids dont tell anyone" haha it was funny we then were tracting and we were talking to this guy that was drinking and hes like the only thing i like about your churches is the whole many wives things haha and about other stuff that was funny haha
I've been ready in judges and ruth, thess. and tim., and in ether im learning more about the bible but not a whole not it just has good stories haha and in the n.t. pauls talking to the ppl about the church and a little bit about the commandments i think and correcting them and finding really good scriptures that i can use to help ppl while tracting and in ether the bom is the best:) ive been reading about the barges and how much faith he had and then theyre starting to go into the pride cycle so i really enjoy reading the scriptures
My most spiritual and best experience was on sat. we got a member referral from a member in the lake norman ward and we set up an appt. with her and her family was there and for most of the time it was pretty much bashing with Lindas sis in law but i know im not suppossed to bash but i kinda had to haha jk but the cool thing was is while we would read the bible and her sis in law would say something else the whole time she would agree with us and ive never had that happen to me, an investigator disagreeing with her family. it was a great experince and after we kinda taught them we talked to her outside and told her somethings and that she told us "You know when your thirsting and quenching for the truth and cant find it, lately I've been doing my studies and I feel that ive found the truth and im not thirsty anymore":) i was way excited for her and her husband doesnt talk a whole about religion and he started asking ?s and he was disagreeing with his sis and agreeing with us and their daughter was listen intently too so it was a great experience and yesterday after church we talked to the member who gave us the referral and talked to her for a bit and Linda is so ready its awesome thats like the best experince on my mission:) it was awesome
Well have a good week luv ya.
