MAn the weeks sure do fly by out here sometimes i think about them and i just want it to slow down but i figure i can either jump in and become the lords missionary or just think of good ole times i think the eternities will be an allright place to ponder on our lives and what we did.

wow good ole elma a zoneleader area i like the zoneleaders with a greenie idea who is the mission president these days?

So you still havent told me where is neal moved to? and whats this about nicle moving into the home place i thought brydon worked in belvue?

Im excited for them though it will be fun to have someone else close by.

alright so this last saturday we did some awesome service... so this member in our ward Brother Potter also one of our ward missionaries needed some trees removed and he was talking about it over dinner on friday.. I told him i knew a thing or two and offered our help.. so there i was with a chain saw in my hands the next day just fileting a big old apple tree and a bigger fig tree. it was so fun we worked hard and ate figs (i dont really like themthat much). it was great and after we got the trees down and chopped up he asked what is customary to do with the stumps i told him of a few methods and one of these said methods was to rent a stump grinder and grind it out so he said if i could run it he would rent it. so there i was grinding away.. it was awesome we got it all done in a timely manner namely 2 hrs it was great. when we got done bro potter asked the rental guy how much a tree service would cost hear around town and the guys said from top to bottom it would be 400 to 500 dollars a tree dang right these californians so we did a good dead and it was reminicant of home...

I have really enjoyed being here in canyon country it has been fun to be here so long as well i feel like im a part of the ward and that they trust me.. its fun when we get a call and the members want us to come over for dinner because they have some friends over.. you just feel like they trust you so i love it.

well we have another baptism coming up on the 20th that makes three for this transfer wich is pretty stinking good i love being able to see people follow through with what our hevenly father has laid out for our success..

well as for today im not sure what we will be doing but i know it will be great thanks for the money.. my clothes are just starting to go the way of the bufalo.
