Hey Mom,
Sounds like everything is going good there!!! What Classes is Matt taking (WSU)? Did he get any scholarships (Yes--for drum)
Ha ha---That's funny that Keon said I look the same...ha ha... just cause the way that I talk changes doesn't mean the way I look changes ha ha!!!! At times I wish my acne would change and go away for once!
That's awesome that Jared will be able to do baptisms for the dead in the temple in Canada. What else are they going to do in Canada?
This week went good!!! We had three people in church this week and they are all progressing differently but really good. Hopefully they will continue to do good!!! So many things are happening with our area, I love it!!!
Has Matt read his email lately? I wrote him like three weeks ago and still haven't heard back from him.
Hey Dad
Wow sounds like an oven, at least you guys can get in the pool!!!! I hear Matt is working on the Mustang. Is it coming along good??? Oh yeah, and is the Camaro still around? ha ha I don't know if I'll be able to speak in English when I get back... one of our investigators asked me to give a prayer in English so that they could hear what it sounded like and it was really hard to do it.
Anyway everything is going great in our area, We are seeing lots of miracles!!!!
Love

Johnny didn't write a letter--Just sent picture which we added to the Blog. The pictures included captions that said what they were. 1. His latest baptism--Monica. 2. a saying in a store called "no Pecaras" which means don't sin. 3. a family from Bolivia in their house that is made of wood and with the cold it's not a very nice place to live. 4. Johnny and his companion didn't want to carry their dry cleaning so they hung it on Johnny's back pack.

Wow Ha ha!!!!
It's amazing what you can do in one week!!! I'm pretty used to doing just about the same thing everyday Ha ha!!!
Anyways this week went a lot better by the end of the week!!! During the week it seemed pretty much the same. Just a lot of people that didn't seem like they wanted to talk to us. On Wednesday, we contacted a lady and she said she didn't have time except for on Sunday, in the morning. So we said okay, we'll come by and you can come to church with us. Not thinking anything of it until Sunday morning, just figuring it would be another bad contact, we went by her house Sunday morning and she answered the door, Still in her PJ's. I said we came to take you to church with us and she said wait just a minute. . . . Leaving us waiting at the door thinking that she was going to come back with some excuse why she couldn't go. We were surprised---She came back all ready to go.
We went to the church and we were like the first ones there so we started to get scared thinking that no one was going to come to church because of this sickness alert that has been going around pretty bad, but eventually people started to show up and really welcomed this lady that we brought.
She ended up sitting with two sisters in the ward and us behind. Everyone was giving their testimonies because of Fast Sunday and she started to cry. At the end of the meeting she said, she is for sure to come next week. We will be teaching the first lesson tomorrow and it's amazing what the Lord provides when you're obedient and endure through the tough weeks!!!!
Anyways that's about all!!!

Hey Mom,
Wow sounds like everyone is busy. Sometimes I wish i could come back home for a weekend to have some fun camping with the family but I'm doing good just hearing about all the fun stuff makes me miss stuff back home but it's ok.
This week was a pretty slow week--not too much happened. We talked with lots of people this week that pretty much hate Americans so they wouldn't let us in just because I was from the States. Its sad but one day they are going to know and wish that they would have let us in.
Sorry I haven't written Matt too much. I'll write him more if he promises to write back. Ha ha!!!
Oh and it should be fun going camping with Mark and Janna, and Marianne and Steve!!! Tell them Hi for me!!!!
Anyways not too much more for this week
Love
