Hey family!!
I am doing so very well thank you! Haha it sounds like you had an
amazing river rafting trip! Geezz Bubba what are you doing falling out
of the raft? I remember being up there with Brad and jumping off of
those cliffs, that was a blast. I am glad that
dad was able to get a few days off and that you had a good fourth of
July together! My fourth of July was about the same as every other day,
but we did have a zone training meeting that was pretty good. Speaking
of that training meeting it is funny that you
would mention Elder Phelps because I actually met him at that meeting
and we are in the same zone, haha so next time I will have to bring that
connection up to his attention.
All in all everyone sounds like they are doing really well. I can't
believe that football is already starting up for those little guys, and
Caden is going to have a blast on trek, I wish that I would have been
able to go to that.
So, this week was good, and really really long! Everyday seems like
twenty days combined haha. We spend all of our time walking around and
contacting or going door to door and talking to people. Some how we need
to start getting some lessons so that we
can be inside of an air conditioned home or I am going to die of heat
exhaustion. . . That will be our reward when we can find someone to
teach. For the moment there are still no investigators in this town and
we are having a tough time finding anyone who wants
to listen, but I am sure that this week we will find someone! We haven't
had a lesson the entire time we have been here, but hey from all of
this walking and sweating I am going to be in killer shape.
Although, we did finally get to do some service this week! It was
awesome! I was so happy to finally get out and do some yard work. We have
this Tongan family in our ward and the husband is on the rugby team,
there family is so nice and loving and seriously
as soon as I saw their name on the less actives list I called them right
up. They were really excited to hear from us and said that they would
love it if we could come and do service for them while he is training
full time for the season. So, we got to help
them out and work out in the yard for a few hours! It was so awesome,
not to mention it really broke up our daily routine of contacting so it
was amazing. . . After we had finished up they took us home, we showered
and changed, we went out contacting for three
hours and then it was back to their house for a BBQ. Ahhh it was so
good! It was a real authentic Tongan BBQ with a ton of really good
meat. It really made me feel at home and was a fun fourth of July
tradition that needed to happen.
I have been having a really hard time out here and this week I read
Gordon B. Hinckley talk where he talks about when he was on his mission
and he wrote is dad and said, "I am just wasting my time and your money
while I am out here." I feel like that a
lot. But, as I continued to read I read the same passage that I have
heard in the past. His father responded and said, "Gordon, I have your
letter. I just have one thing to say, Forget yourself and go to work."

I love you all so so much! Keep being the amazing family that you are!
Love,
