Hey yall 

How is everyone doing this week? I am doing really good! Last week was a pretty good week!

We went on Exchanges with some missionaries, and I went with that missionary from that Island 

that I went with the other day! Elder Rooto! He is so funny! He gave me this quote "You can do 

whatever you want.....just not bad things" I thought it was so funny! It probably had something

 to do with his accent as well! Him and I had a great day to! We taught a whole bunch of lessons! 

We even set a baptism date for August 13th! I am not sure how serious that guy is, but he did 

agree, so we will see where it goes! Wednesday we had district meeting, and we exchanged 

back! It was kinda  rough day! pretty much everything that we had scheduled for the day 

canceled, so we did a lot of knocking doors! The rest of the week was pretty good! On Saturday 

we had a ward party! A few weeks ago they asked us to serve food at the party, so everyone 

else could enjoy the party! We agreed, Then we found out that it was at the pool, and later we 

found out it was root beer floats we were serving! We were out there at the pool saturday evening!

 It was so hot, and we were in our shirt and ties! So here we were sitting standing by the swimming 

pool watching everyone swim, and not being able to, and then on top of that we were dealing 

with root beer floats ( I havent had soda in 2 weeks) and were drenched in sweat! The ice cream 

was in a cooler with Dry Ice, so it was frozen solid, so we were working hard to! We did that for 

2 hours none stop! By the end of the night I was ready to drink all the root beer, and "get pushed"

into the pool! (honestly I was so sweaty I looked like i already had been in the pool)! It was so 

funny! That was the basses for my week! I Love and miss all of you

Hey y'all

This week was a pretty good week! On Monday we played basketball with our district, and I sweated a ton!!! 

Then we started a district activity! We are going to do the biggest loser challenge! We all weighed in on 

Monday and so that started off! Elder Wisden and I have been doing a lot of tracting! Which means we

 meet a ton of people! That has kinda been fun! We have gotten a few new investigators this week, and 

none of them are really golden or anything, but hey they are new investigators none the less! We also have 

been going through and trying to meet all the Young single adults! We are trying to get an institute program 

here at the college in town, and lets just say that neighbors of these people are my favorite! There was this 

one guy, and he was DRUNK!! He was going on and on about how he is doing all these crazy things and 

building all this stuff, and the he drank like 2 and a half beers just in the time we were with him! He also 

had a decent sized pile of empty cans, and honestly they all looked like they were put there that day, so

hopefully he is alright! On Thursday we had a zone training meeting! It was pretty good! There was some 

really good instructions, and the best part was i didn't have to prepare a district meeting ;) When we got back

to town the Tornado sirens started going off! It was crazy! We took some cover, but of course ended back

out side filming the sky! Right about us the clouds started to swirl, but luckily they never came down! 

There was crazy fast winds and the sky was green, and all the elements for a tornado were there, but no 

tornado came out of it! There was a tornado about 20 minutes from us though in another town! Then that 

night we got to have dinner with Ciera and her dad! I think we are starting to peek his interest a little bit 

more! I am excited for that! Now Friday was the highlight of the week! I am not sure if y'all know this, 

but it was my YEAR mark!!!! How crazy is that? Well the tradition for a year mark is burning a shirt, so 

thats what I did! We went out to a members house who lives about 10 minutes out of town (for obvious 

reasons) and we had dinner there! After dinner we went out side! I am going to paint you a picture of 

how this went down! I had a miniature cross bow with a pencil for an arrow and a marshmallow on the tip!

that marshmallow was soaked in lighter fluid! Then I was standing about 6 yards from my shirt, also 

soaked in lighter fluid! I had Tyler light my arrow, and i took aim! There were about 6 people there all 

taking pictures or videos! I shot the shirt, and it burst into flames! It was Magical!! Sunday was pretty 

good too! in Church Kylea and Tyler both spoke, and they did an amazing job! That was the highlights 

of my week! It was a dang good week!  I love and miss y'all

Hey everyone!

This week has been a pretty good one! The first half was slow! After district meeting on Wednesday We 

went on Exchanges with the Eufala Elders! I went to Eufala with Elder Benntinson! It was a pretty good

time! They have a Tiny cabin thing that is their apartment, and so it was kind of fun to stay in that for a 

night! Thursday we exchanged back, and Elder Wisden and I Got some really good lessons in! There 

are a few people here who really need the gospel, they just don't know thats what they are missing!, but 

don't worry! we are gonna show them! On Saturday it was supposed to be our transfer calls, but our 

mission president decided he wanted to make us wait a little longer! Our calls actually come tonight! I

am not sure If i am staying or going! I have been in Tahlequah for 3 transfers now, so I am on the fence 

for whats going to happen! Sunday was awesome though! Kylea was confirmed! Our bishop did it, and it 

was so great!!! She is such an amazing young lady! Yesterday was the 4th of July, and all the librarys 

were closed, that is why you are getting this email today! but We went on a hike with a bunch of 

missionaries! Then we all drove to Broken Arrow, and played Rugby with a bunch of other missionaries! 

I think there was 21 of us playing rugby! It was just two hand touch, but it was a blast! Then afterwards

We went to some missionaries apartment and they cut my hair! I took a shower, and was expecting to 

head back to Tahlequah, but then they told us we were going to play basketball! I went and it was so much 

fun! The rest of the night we spent at a members house watching fireworks! It was an awesome week! 

Tonight is transfer calls, so I will let y'all know as soon as i can whats going on if i am staying or going! 

I love you and miss y'all
