High Hopes

It has been a good week!  We have 3 new investigators this week, so that is cool! They are a little crazy.. but cool.  A crazy thing happened this week.  Last week we found the lady on the bus with the new baby and got her phone number. This week we prayed for a road to knock on doors. One of the doors we knocked was where the lady that we meet on the bus lived! It was cool cause we could not get a hold of her on the phone. But now we know where she lives!  Another cool experience happen this week.  We were going to see a former investigator that lived about 45 min. away from Bath. When we got there we were hungry because our dinner appointment cancelled. We stopped in a place called LIDLE, its a German store to grabbed a quick snack. On the way out the former investigator we were going to see walked up to us and started talking to us. She was going into the store to get something and then she said she would give us a ride. We waited for her and as she was walking out she slipped and fell and hit her head on the ground. She thought she was fine, but she cracked her head open! We took her into the store and they called the ambulance. It was crazy!  We are going to teach her hopefully sometime this next week. The work is still very hard, but we have high hopes for this transfer. My companion and I are very excited!  I love you all! Cheers mates!

I'm Staying in Bath!

I'm staying in Bath with Elder Price!  What great news! I love it here in Bath!  The ward is just amazing and everything is going wonderful! I hope I get to stay in Bath till Christmas. I feel like I'm part of 4 families here. We had our football game yesterday it was awesome.  The only problem was that none of the investigators showed up.  We have 2 guys in our ward that played semi-pro ball, they are so good. One of them brought some of his old football boots and told us we can have them! The kind that he brought were the same ones that I had at home, and just the same size. It felt great to be in those boots again and playing the best sport ever. Yesterday we met the coolest lady on the bus. She had a little girl that was about 3 years old and then a baby that was only 13 days old. We got her number cause she was in a hurry to get off the bus.  We are calling her tomorrow. She said she would love to hear the message we have to share! We are praying that it will work out! Its starting to get a little bit cooler, and gets dark at about 8:00. But I would rather walk around when its a little cooler then really hot, so I'm not complaining!  I miss you all and thanks for all the letters, I feel like summer is a lot better at English and writing then I am. She makes everything perfect, its great!  I love you guys.  You know that I pray and think about you everyday and night. You guys are amazing! CTR! Cheers mates!

Hard to get appointments!

This week has been a difficult week. We are teaching about 4-5 people but its hard to get appointments. They always say they will come to church but they never do! We just need patience and faith. Yesterday was pretty funny. I was on my way to church and we were running a little late I was looking down trying to fix my tag I ran into a pole and fell down. It was bad because there were 5 people in front of me that saw it. We have a football game planned tomorrow night. We will hope to have 3 investigators there!  My comp and I went to this little grass field this morning  just to kick the ball, it felt good! There is a couple we are teaching who are cool.  Chahra and Martin. Martin has a doggy background, but since June 25th he has cleaned himself up. That is the same day that I got to Bath!  So every time we go there, he always likes to say the prayer and always says thanks for June 25th. We are going to invite them to be Baptized today if we can see them.  They will need to get married! This week is moves. I can't believe its already been 2 moves, they go by so fast. I hope I don't move. I love it here in Bath. The ward here is so amazing, and so helpful in missionary efforts. Thanks for your prayers and letters. You guys are the best!

"The road has not been paved all the way for any of us.  We all have a small place in our hearts where we store our sorrows and disappointments.  But are there not the days when you are simply overwhelmed with the blessings of the Lord?"

Give us 30 min.!

Before I left on my mission, everyone told me I would get so many blessing for serving...

"Show me the Scotsmen who doesn't love the thistle, show me the Englishman who doesn't love the rose, show me the TRUE BLOODED AGGIE from Utah, who doesn't love the spot... where the sage brush grows!!! Utah State hey! Aggies all the way! GO AGGIES! GO AGGIES! HEY! HEY!"

Man that makes me so happy! I wish it could have happened last year! When I heard this I was dying to call all my Utah buddies!  I'm impressed by Utah for making it such a close game. USU is an amazing team I'm surprised it was that close. PAC 12 losing to WAC. Got to love it!

This week has been great!! The weather has actually been good this week, pretty warm and a lot of sun. Teaching has been hard.  We have a bunch of investigators but they are always busy so they never let us come over! Most of our appointments come from us going to there house and knocking. If we try and call and set up an appt. it doesn't work to often. There are so many cool people we have been meeting, I just wish they would give us 30 min. to come teach!  We set up another football game next Tuesday.  I'm excited for that. Two of our investigators said they would love to come!  This week when we went on exchange my companion had a little surprise for me... We taught a 23 year old girl the Law of Chastity, he made me lead the discussion and do most of the talking!! A lot of prayers walking over to that house. I guess when I started talking my face went bright red.. but other then that, it went really well. I have one more week of being trained, I can't believe it has already been 2 transfers, time fly's!! Love you all, thanks for all you prayers and letters, they mean the world to me. Cheers!! Go Blue!(BYU and USU)

One door shuts another door opens!

This week has been a good week! We didn't teach as much as last week and some of our investigators have gone a little crazy on us, but its okay. When one door shuts another door opens! We are going to do more finding this week so we can increase our teaching pool. Yesterday at church we had a pretty cool miracle, a guy that I met about a month ago on a bus just showed up to church. He said he loved it and felt that he was at a church in Utah! (haha) He is from Greece and he is an interesting guy. His name is Michael and we are going to help him move this week.  We went to Ben and Philipa's house to teach their family but they were watching the Liverpool Arsenal game.  We watched for a little but then we had to leave.  I had a dream the other night that we had 6 baptisms here in Bath by Christmas, so that is our goal! We know that if we have faith and trust in our Heavenly Father we can do anything that he sees fit. The mission is still very hard, but is getting easier and easier everyday. I still have so much to work and improve on. Thanks for all your prayers, they really help. I love all of you! Go Cougars! Cheers mates!!
