Hey yall

This weed was a pretty good one. I would say that it wasnt near as good as last week, but it was still good. We are still teaching that investigator and she is still so ready. We also have gotten a few other investigators. Right now they arnt to serious, but they just want to know more, but its still great, and i am still super excited to teach them. This week we also had a activity at a members house, and it was a lot of fun. We had over 70 people there. Which is like double what normally is at church. so that was really good to see all those people. Then on Sunday we had the Primary program. Me and Elder Whitby had to be a part of it because there are not a lot of primary kids. It went pretty good. We all had a lot of fun with it, then the primary president fed us during 3rd hour of church so that was really good. But ya that was the main points of my week. So i love yall

So this week was a pretty good week. I don't know if yall remember me talking about That investigator that came to church last week, well we started teaching her on Tuesday, and the lesson went great. We actually taught a full lesson and it went great. That is not the best part though. We set a Baptism date for her and her 9 year old daughter. I am so Pumped. We have also been getting in to teach more since then, and we have 6 investigators. There is only two or 3 that are solid ones, but there are investigators none the less. On Saturday it was Transfer calls, and I found out that both me and Elder Whitby are Staying in Fort Scott for another transfer. So we will be companions in Fort Scott until December 3. I am actually excited for that because if I would have been transferred our I would have missed the investigators baptism. I am so excited. The thought I just want to leave yall with is that even though things are bad at times, and it seems like there is no good that will ever come out of it there is always light at the end of the tunnel. That is what Fort Scott has taught me. I honestly hated this area when I first got here, but now I am really starting to love the people, and it really helps that we are starting to have people to teach. I just want to say sorry for not really having spiritual thoughts. I always forget to share one, and I never think about it until its to late, and also I want to apologize for not sending letter back lately. I get them in the mail and think ok ill write them back later, then later comes and I totally space it. so Please forgive me, and I will work on it. I love yall have a great week

This past week was a crazy week. On Monday we were in Joplin playing basketball and we played some rugby it was so much fun, then we stayed over there because Elder Whitby had to be in Bentonville in the Morning. So we went on Exchanges and I Was in Joplin with Elder Burkhart. We mostly passed along thank you cards,  we tried by some referrals, but none of them were home. We ended staying the night over there again. On Wednesday we had district meeting, so we drove from Joplin to there, and had a really great meeting. Then we went on exchanges with the Parsons elders, and Elder Perron came up to Fort Scott with me. We visited all the people that we handed out book of Mormons to and we set up some return apointments. The cool part of that day is we gave a blessing to this non members son who just got diagnosed with autisum. it was such an amazing experience. Then We exchanged back on Thursday, and I was so exchasuted because I haddent slept very well all week and I took a 4 hour nap. Elder Whitby thought I died, but after I woke up we went to our potentials named Tina and Ernie. The took the lesson, and actually liked what they heard, and now we have another appointment with them on Thursday. That wasn't even the best part of my week. On Sunday a member brought a friend to church, and she said that she had all intentions of joining this church. She signed up on the dinner callander to feed us, and she is starting the lessons tomorrow so I am so pumped for that. I am so excited for this coming week. I Love you all

So i really had an amazing week. on monday we had an less active invite us to the Fort Scott Comunity Volley ball game. and we had no plans so we went and i caught a t shirt so thats exciting, but the best part was is that we talked to the lady next to us, and she was so interested. the bad news is she didnt live in fort scott, but we did give a referel to the area where she lived. Then we didnt have a whole lot going until conferance. I dont know about yall, but i loved conferance. it seriously was so amazing. i feel so silly for not paying more attention to it when i was younger. It was such an amazing experiance, because while i was listing i asked Elder Whitby a Question, and the very next speaker answered it in his talk. it was so amazing to have that happen. i invite all of you to re read over the talks and ask questions before you do. i know it will change your lives well thats all i have this week love you

I know I say this a lot, but we really had a boring week. we did a lot of tracting and had no success except on Thursday when we handed out 4 book of Mormons. we are going to go try by them people later tonight, or tomorrow. Hopefully we can get something going here. but we have been playing basketball all day today so im super tired right now. but one thing that ive learned this week is we all need to be disciples of Jesus Christ. that means that if someone else is struggling rather than push them down pull them up. anyway I  love you guys

Hey yall

Well if you remember my email from two weeks ago i said i had some poison ivy and it went away, well little did i know that it did not. it got really bad last monday and i broke out in hives all over my arm. that was really fun, but i got it taken care of, and it is slowly going away. But how we got the hives to go aways is very interesting. THis guy burnt an onion, and rubbed it all over my arm. the swelling and itching almost instinatly gone away. it was really crazy. We have had a very busy week. last sunday Elder Whitby had to be in joplin at 4 so we drove down there and then drove back up to fort scoot. then on monday we played flourball. So we had to be in joplin at 9:30 in the morning. Then we drove back to fort scott. then on tuesday Elder Whitby had to be in Bentonville at 8 in the morning so we left fort scott at 5 in the morning and meet in joplin at 6:20. Then i had to go with Elder Burkhart to neosha which is another half an hour away. and me and him spent the day there. We tracted all day. WE just walked and walked. Then after all that driving  i thought we were done. but i was wrong. we had to drove to joplin on saturday because it is stake confreence this week so we had to be there for the adult session. THis week has been great though. a investigator who dropped us is talking about meeting with us again which is so great. i would like to invite you to read a poem called "The Touch of the Masters Hand" i dont remember who wrote it, and i would quote it for you, but it is way to long. Yall need to read it, because it really is so good. I love yall

This week was kinda a slow week. I forgot to tell you that last week we had transfer calls and I am staying in fort scott with the same companion. So that should be exciting. Really though this week has been really slow and it has rained so much. We went to all of our potentials and they all said they were not interested. Hopefully we get something going, but I just wanted to share a scripture real quick it is Mosiah 7:33 But if ye will turn to the Lord with full purpose of heart, and put your trust in him, and serve him with all diligence of mind, if ye do this, he will, according to his own will and pleasure, deliver you out of bondage.so we just need to put our trust in the lord and everything will work out I love you guys
