Sept 27





Hey everybody. How is everybody doing. So here is the news for this week.




Well my companion had to go home for a week to get a plate taken out of his shoulder. He was really stressed about going home for a week. It is weird we get in the missionary mode and we don't want to stop for nothing. So I am with two other Elders for a week while he is away. It is a little bit harder with there only being 3 of us. It is a good thing that we only cover one ward between the two sets of Elders. It is keeping us busy. Its funny how much you miss just one person. I realize how important every person is to missionary service now. One of my companions is from Blackfoot mom his name is Elder Stander. Do you of any Standers?




This area is really different. The living conditions are really different I have been apartments for the last 7 months now we are in a members home. Its just an older couple and they work a lot. But it is cool because he has a pool table in the living room for us. We think it is awesome.









We have a baptism on the 15 we are really excited about that. We have been teaching a lot here. Last week were eating lunch with a Less Active who is disable. Anyhow we were showing him the video about the church and there was a scene about the Navoo temple being burned down. He got a really upset by that and screamed who ever does something like that to good people should just burn in H___. It was a little shocking to hear that. It took us all by such surprise we laughed really hard.









That is crazy to hear about Bryton. What a cool mission. I worked with the Pres in my last area he is such a good guy. A spirit of the law kinda guy. I really think if they asked he would let McKay go home a week early so he could see Bryton before he left. I really admire and respect Pres. He is just an amazing guy.









Well everyone take care and remember that I love you all.




Stay Classy
