I know its not much of spring here either. It is snowing right now. We got about 4 inches last night. I am so sick of it it has been a long long cloudy winter. I am ready to see some sun and green.
Man I wish I was complaining about 200 in a sacrament meeting! haha That's pretty darn good for here. So do you still meet in the stake center or are you back in our building? Its going to be so weird coming home to so many changes. Speaking of coming home stuff. I get home July 12th now. We had to move that transfer back a day. Second I am pretty sure registration for next semester is soon. You may want to talk to Brandi or someone to see about getting me back in school. I also need somewhere to live... I don't even know where to start with that. oh and a new Ford Raptor if you have time... :) haha Sorry I am so needy but there is not much I can do from here. I think I gave you a folder before I left that tells you how to do everything. Lake Powell sounds good to me! haha I don't care what we do. I just hope I don't fry in the sun. I'm pasty white now unfortunately. Its going to be weird without Ali and Ty. And Jenni is a mom now so she she isn't fun anymore. And Dad is an old man it sounds like now so looks like me and Ryan are going to be the only ones that can have any fun... haha kidding. I am excited and it all sounds great to me. Not like I have any plans.
That is sad about that guy. If only he understood what the gospel could do for him. I will keep him in my prayers.
This week was pretty normal. A bunch of meetings and exchanges. We had our training meeting with all the new missionaries and their trainers in Kirtland. Man was that a trick. It was like 2 zone conferences. There were 63 missionaries there. We let them watch the Kirtland video and the sister take them on a short tour and then Elder Ingersoll and I did some training for another 2 hours. It was fun with that many people. We also picked up 25 pizzas for lunch. I probably told you about him last time but we bought the pizza from the same local pizza place and man does the owner love us. He was all giddy 6 weeks ago when we ordered 12 pizzas you shoulda seen him with 25! He was buttering us up big time. I think he likes our money.
We got a couple new investigators this week. One is a guy a member met outside of Walmart and another is a La's boyfriend. His name is Durio. Which is my suggestion for Ali's sons name. You say it like Darito but without the T.
So I got like the best news of my whole life last night! Brother and Sister H went to the temple on Saturday and got endowed. Man that made me soooooo happy. Its like the ultimate goal you strive to help people get to and they made it. They are finishing up the adoption process for C and then they will go get sealed. Smoking and Drinking to Active, endowed, young mens president in less than a year. No one will ever be able to tell me that someone isn't ready to be invited to prepare for the temple. It is President Monson's rescue working perfectly. You have so many people say "oh well they aren't even active or living the commandments we cant invite them to prepare for the temple, they aren't ready." Not true. It worked for them!
That's funny I was thinking about that letter from Easter last week! The Atonement is a miraculous thing.
I hope you have a great week and a good Easter! Love and miss you!!
