Subject: Weak Sauce.

Hello family. How are things? Things are good here. I tell you now that this letter is going to be pretty weak sauce. Not too much happened this week that is really worth the time to put in to a email. We are having a really hard time trying to meet with our invests. None of them will make set appt. it is so hard to try and get members to the lesson when you have to call them 10 mins before the lesson. It doesn't help that the members are not that great to come with us. We have like 4 that are our on call guys. So transfers are next week and i have no clue what is going on. I think that i will be staying here for at lest one more transfer and i think that Ditty will Leave. So we will see. Well thats about it for this week. Sorry it is so short. We really didn't have a lot that was way good or bad happen. So i will talk to you all later. I love you and miss you all soooooo much. and it is 17 months today for us.

Subject: How many times can a missionary Check out a girl? LOL

Hello family how are you all doing? I'm doing good. Ok so the story that goes with the subject line. We went out to eat one day and there were some good looking girls there. So they go to talk to one of the missionarys that was there. Well Elder Sherwain (One of my roommates that i can't stand) was there too. The girls were not talking to him. But he was check-in them out a lot. Me and one of the other elders were watching his eyes. He looked her up and down no joke more then 30 times. it was pretty funny. Sherwain thinks that he is the hottest thing that has walked the earth. Well now on to the work. So on wed. Last week we went tracting and we got to the last house on the street and we are like alright this is where the golden invest. is going to be. So we knock the and this lady comes out the garage and tell us that she was going to do yard work. Then she said that you can talk to my daughter. She came out right then. She was like "Brigett sit and talk with them for five mins." Brigett was like "I don't wan't to take to them." Then Brigett's friend pulls up and Brigett tells Natasha to come over and talk with us with her. So an 1 Hour and 45 mins. later we had taught a lot. Then said that they want us to come back and teach them some more. That was great. This week with Ty we Went and asked him the Baptismal interview Questions to see where he was with the teaching. He did a great job. He just has his problem with his girlfriend. He wants this. He just needs to make a choice. So that guy David that came in to church all on his own He came to church this week and went with us to the TVC Where they where having a Why I Baleve Fireside. It was way good. He really liked it. I really liked it. well thats about it for now. I love you and miss you all so much.

Subject: Did you eat paint chip when you were a kid? LOL Why?

so we had a good week. Sis. Albright had a compation to see witch Zone could get their 72 hour kits frist to give them a BBQ at the mission Home. Well we came it 3rd. Well after we did get our kits we went out to work and the frist door we knock on is a pastor of another church. This guy didn't know anything. He was asking us if we wanted to ask him questions. I was like Nope. So we just bore testimony and he rejected it so we left. We had zone conf. this week. it was way good. Then right after Zone conf. we had appt. with a now new invest. Her name is Tiffany. She is great. She asked a lot of good Q's. She read the BOM. And said that she would come to church. We are going to see her today. We might get some more people to teach from her too. the people that she live with she has been readin the BOM with them too. So they might come to the lessons. Then later on that night we got a PI. he told us to come back after a long talk. He is wanting to know. One thing that we got to do this last week that was really fun. I got to Shingel a roof. It was nice to tell someone that i know how to do that kind of stuff. On sunday we were just sittin in Priesthood and the ward mission leader tell us to come out of the room. We go out and he is standing next to this guy that i had never seen before. Well this guys name is David. he is not a member and he just walked in to the church. We taught him last night and he is really good. He is from the Kongo. He said that he will be to church this sunday. Score for Elder Ditty and I. We are still meting with Orlando. he is still doing good. If all go well week could have a lot of people at church this week. The Runser family is doing really good this week. They didn't come to church like they said they would. But this last lesson that we had was a good one. They had a list of Q's for us. They are a good family. This time we asked the son DJ to give the prayer. It was a way good pray by the now 11 year old. That kid will take his Mom and dad in to the water. Well thats about it for now. I love you and miss you lots.

Subject: COME OUT WITH YOUR HANDS UP!!

So last week I told you that we were going to go to The FBI Training Academy. And we did and it was so much fun. They showed us around the whole place. They have a lot of fun stuff. We saw the gun vault, The massive gym, and the Shoot, don't shoot training room. That was the best one. We got to do 3 of the scenarios. So what they do is they give you a real gun that they make use CO2 and has a laser in it. They have a big projector that project on the wall. Then they play that scenario. it is a real film that you have to talk to. You really do have to talk to it. The scenario will change depending on what you say. But because we are all a bunch of guys so we are going to want to shoot the gun. I'm not trying to boast but i did the best. Every shoot that i took Hit what i was aiming for. I about laughed my butt off watching some of the other guys try and do it. One of them would have unloaded the whole clip if it would have had one and didn't hit one thing. It was a lot of fun. I did film a 2 of them. I can't put them on the web or the FBI will hunt me down and gut me like a fish. But really i can't put them on the web. I Will give a warning with them. to make them as really as possible the guys in the films say some bad words. So when you get my next card be ready for that. So that was a lot of fun. Now about the work. So elder Ditty and I were wanting to look up some formers and we went to this one. It was way weird No joke we turn the street corner to go to the house and it in like 2 sec. turns in the biggest red neck place that I have seen in my life. They would have made Jeff Foxwothy proud. You might be a red neck. They had a crap load of Chickens and Over Like 50 bunnies. you should have seen this place. We ended up talkin to the people for a bit they were really nice. They wanted us to buy a bunny. i told them that Mindy would have wanted one. So some of are invests. are kinda fall in off the map. Saleanma we can't get a hold of. I don't know what happened. Some of them are doing really well. Ty came to church for the second time. The bishop wanted to sit him down and talk to him about him and his girlfriend. He was very bold with him and i hope it will help. Orlando is doing good. He is doing the things that we are asking him to do. I think his wife is what is really holding him back. We have never met the wife. Every time we ask him to try and get his wife to come to the lesson and is really hesitant. He feels the the BOM is true. He still needs to come to church. So yesterday we went to the National Boy Scout Jamboree. It was way fun. We were aloud to teach people there. They did need to take to us about the gospel frist for us to talk to them. But we could start the talking about Scouts so that helped. The church has been with the Boy Scout for 97 years. I really wish i could have gone and done a lot of the things that they had going on it looked like so much fun. Well thats about it for now i love you all and miss you tons.
