Letter #12

HELLO! my followers! its your beloved elder smart here ready for another blogarific letter!

allow me to start off by saying I hate transfers -.-

they suck an they make me cry... we lost A.P. price and a bunch of other cool elders.

I hugged him tight and said.

'don't go price don't go!!!' I was a wimp -.-''

THe last week was kinda long and a drag, see here its ALOT smaller and every everybody alreaedy knows everybody so tracting is rather uneffective, however it is ALOT of ward maintenance, and despite that we have TONS more. 

In other news, this week hasn't been all that hot, still kinda have to get used to the new families and all the other people, lund (the elder I have replaced) had been there for SIX months, so everyone would kinda look at me like 'who are you?? you arn't lund!' and I kinda had to work around that without feeling too bad.

I got owned by a guy we met.  He started bashing and Jones wasn't there to own him an all I could say at one point was 'I can't say I am as well versed as you are but-' and then proceeded to try my best.  I felt bad, but Lund made me feel better cuz even if I HAD out done him he would have just been mad and not listened anyway. 

its very low key here so I struggle with not doing as much as in gig harbor.

BUT we have a lot of people we are working with and my First journal is almost done!!

AND Jones found my check writing pen!!!! eeee I am so happy!

only other problem with Rochester is that they FEED you here!!! like... ALOT!!! we've had three breakfasts a lunch and  several dinners and I dunno what I'm gonna do about that!! 

in anycase riding a bike will probably be pretty amazing to have, I hope the families whos numbers I have given have called you mom!

also, HAYDEN! WRITE ME FOO!

a special thanks to lucy spencer who sent me a letter, (who is on a LONG list of people a need to write back' especially the sampsons and all my grandparents.  A VERY Special thanks to the adorable Georgia peach who sent me such sweet gifts! I am so happy and greatful to everyone and a belated happy birthday to my brother!

I am sending a package that will take care of mothers day, my monthly package and fathers day and guess what folks?! I FINALLY RAN OUT OF MEMORY ON MY CAMERA!

so now you will all have a lovely barrage of random pictures from the past three months!

-yaaaaaay-

I've oddly enough been thinking about Cameron this morning, I remember his email and have been considering writing him.

anywho lemme tel you of some of our investigators!

we have rebekahs family!

she is in a REALLY bummer situation, SHE is baptized but her daughter and neice (who is more of a daughter) and her fiancée I am VERY greatful that lund and Mossbrucker were able to clean up the mess that some of there predecessors had made  apparently one of the elders that was here we aren't suppose to say his name, he wasn't very pleasant so I normally refrain from bringing him up.

this week seemed to be forboding but come P-day the world seems so much brighter.

thank you all for your love keep praying for me!

PS -  as an add on I forgot to mention THREE things, I was AGAIN in the missionary fireside.  I've been in two and have sang the same songs, they were awesome, I got to see a lot of my old comps and MTC mates.  We are losing a lot of the other group of greenies that came out with us to the new mission, Federal Way so that's a bummer.  We have a baptism on Saturday and I will write more about that later.

I got my suit pants and I only brought half of the stuff that mom sent me when I left.  I left the other half with Jones to be courteous.  I still have enough T.P and yes I still have LOADS of pants.
