Outside and the truck
Inside of the warehouse, I guess they live above it? Robert didn't provide captions, sorry.
Ya'aat'eh'!!
Yes I got my package with all my Books of Mormon in them, its
awesome. I am getting my French groove back. First off, random funny
news and such.....The animal of the week is......BALD EAGLE! there are
about 10 of them that live around here, they are so pretty and big. We
saw some of them flying around and as we were gazing at them another one
came dive bombing and nearly hit our windshield, and it reminded me of
that time that dad and I were pheasant hunting in Parma and a
gold eagle smacked into our truck. It was good times. ah yes this
is a funny story....so in 4th ward our ward mission leader has us signed
up for dinner every thursday at his home but then he tries to call less
active families to feed us and if they cant then he feeds us. Anyways,
he calls us and gives us a number for the "Hooker" family. Ya you can
see where this is going! Soooo, I call this number. Nobody answers, so
naturally i leave a message that goes along the lines of....."Hey this
is the missionaries, hopefully this is the right number we are looking
for the Hookers, ( at this very time my companion just busts out
laughing, I dont even realize what i said...then it hit me and I sat
there for like 5 seconds in silence trying to hold my laughter in)
anyways give us a call back and let us know, bye" sooo ya! like 10
mins later they call back and they say...nobody by the name of Hooker
lives here. SO ya! that would be strange to get a message from
missionaries looking for Hookers. Oh what fun! Eventually we got the
right number and we had a good meal, they are a cool family, they
understand that their name creates problems but its hilarious.
Anyways, this week has been alright, definitely slower
then weeks past. We have 5 people on a baptism date for March 16th.
Ryan, Kailen, Andrew, Relanda, Shirley. Relanda and Shirley are kinda
getting sketchy, we have called them like 4 times and gone over there
like 5 times and they are never there its disappointing. SO not sure
how that all going to work out. Colby has committed to live the word
of wisdom, and he is trying his best so far. We are trying to help him
out as much as we can. I really hope he can pull through, its awesome
just to see the changes he has made so far, hes way cool!
I love Colorado! it reminds a lot of Burley but with mountains
instead! Really not much went down last week. Kinda boring. Baseball
season is coming up! I can feel it in my blood. I'm starting to have withdrawals and dreams of baseball again. Hopefully my boys can pull it
off this year. I want revenge!
We still play a lot of basketball, twice a week. I'm getting
kinda bored of it, i don't know how to pass with 2 hands, I throw the
basketball like a baseball whenever i see someone open. I now have the
nickname, "quick draw mcgee" cause I can throw the ball on a line across
the whole gym and some of the defenders just don't try to catch it
anymore cause i've jammed 3 fingers so far haha! its fun though.
I'm happy to be here! being on a mission definitely has
some ups and downs a lot. But im glad to be here. Some departing
scriptures....Moroni 9:5- this is for scotty. Now apply that scripture
to ANGRY BIRDS the game. Perfect description. Mormon 9. The entire
chapter is so cool! Moroni just lays it down. In Alma 40:11 it says
that EVERYONE will be brought back to God no matter how good or evil
they are. So...then why are their missionaries out on a mission if
everyone is saved? Well the first 5 verses of Mormon 9 answer that. read
it, its way cool. and then read verse 8..Moroni goes on a rant for the
chapter its great. Report back to me, this is your assignment for the
week and I will tell you if you are right or wrong.
