Photos and a decent letter!

I should explain that the first set of photos came as a surprise to us in texts on Friday night. The rest of them came with his emails on Tuesday.

What’s up??

I’m doing pretty good. We picked a new investigator, he is pretty cool except he has a drug problem. We figured this out when in the middle of the lesson he waved at someone than we looked and there was no one in sight so yeah...But we are hoping he will be willing to change so we help him find Christ is his life. Sometimes I don’t understand why it has to be so hard. There are new challenges around every corner. Yesterday was kinda hard but also really cool. Do you remember Beverly, she was our investigator a couple weeks ago? She moved out of our ward and she is getting baptized on Saturday which I am super excited about but she was one of the only investigators I have taught and I wish I could attend her baptism but it is happening in another zone so I can’t but I am really happy and excited that she kept with it after she moved to another ward. I am happy she is following Christ, that is our purpose as missionaries. It doesn’t matter if I bring it to her or if another missionary does, we are all in this together in the fight against evil.

Other than that nothing really new. My comp is sick so we haven’t been able to work as much but he is getting better now. Yes, I did get the packages and letters. Thank you!!! I am working on letters to send back. As you can see by the photos, yes, we spent a day on our bikes cause we were low on miles. We rode about 20 miles on Thursday. It was terrible. I am really out of shape hahah!

Can you believe I have been out for over twelve weeks now this one of the last weeks of my training which is crazy!

I am meeting some cool people here like the cool guy named Ken haha who took us to dinner on Friday. Ken is a member but from another ward Elder Kligge is good friends with him since he lived with ken a few transfers ago so yeah. It was fun to surprise you with those photos over text. We also have this really cool family in our ward named the Kilifi family. He is from Tonga. They just had a baby too and they are cool.

I’m glad you got to see Dan, he such a cool guy.

I miss you guys. I miss the mountains. I miss my friends. I miss the animals. I miss my truck. I know it sounds dumb but I miss a knife in my pocket and splitting firewood in the cold. And, yes, I miss the cold. I miss home. I know this is where the Lord wants me but it is still the hardest thing ever. But it is good, I know I need to do this.

I miss you guys so much and I love you.
