June 14

I'm not getting transfered. But Elder Blakley is. Its going to be hard we really connected. I am glad that his home town is Lindon Ut. So we can see each other after we get home. We think our moms should get together because we have been sharing stories and we think you to are alot alike.. Mom I just talked to you on Mothers Day. Don't take that wrong dad. Mom just makes me laugh. Sorry no call on Fathers Day. I am really nervous about transfers it seems like there are a lot of missionaries that are what we call ladder climbers. They push others down so they can climb higher. I am nervous that my new comp will be like that.

Hey Alyssa I got a scripture section for you it is 2nd Nephi. I think it might help you love those people you work with. I forgot your email address so email me again.

My companion and I have been having some indepth scripture study. We were studying in Revelations and realized that Joseph Smith recieved the gold plates on Rosh Hasanah a Jewish Holiday. Its in Revelation 14:6.
It is nice that we are having these great discussions because the work has been a little slow. That second appointment is hard to get people to commit to. Its hard they seem so excited to get the first message but not the second. But I am learning so much.

I miss you all and love you all so much

You Stay Classy
