Hey Everybody,
Everything is going great here. We had a lot of 2ND discussions this week. That was exciting for us when we get to go back and teach them a second time. Its nice to see who really want us to come back. The area still has its challenges. We are not letting that stop us from getting our message to those who need to hear it. Its funny sometimes when we are out trackting . People will say yeah I had you guys over once you got a great message but I am just not into your church. The restored gospel is here and they are not ready to hear about it. Everyone is really into their career here and really busy so it is hard to catch up with them
One lady we are working with that is close to baptism is named Alma. That is for Ethan he said he wanted to be able to pray about the people we are teaching.
I am enjoying my mission though. I am learning so much. Not just about the gospel . My companion and some of the missionaries in my area have been out more than a year and all they can talk about is what they are going to do when they get home. It is funny our whole life we have been preparing for our missions. Now we have to figure out what to do when we get home.
The time is still going so fast. I cant believe transfers are next week. I have really learned to love my companion. I feel like I just got here.
I got the package you guys sent. Thanks so much for the new pants now I can wear some of the ties my companion and I found at the thrift store. Hey Ethan I love the CD you made me. It is awesome. I loved the pictures I cant believe how long mom and Ellie's hair is getting . Ellie is looking so big and grown up .. And she is going to Pre Kindergarten next year .
I got a letter from Sheena she said she is not going to Alaska but going to open a Snow Cone Shack. That made me laugh really hard. It just sounded funny.
Well everyone I love you all so much.
You all Stay Classy
Elder Stephen Schmidt
