More Bold Sauce
I got Ellen's letter. I remember Elder Copeland. I went out with him a couple of times. I thought he would be home by now. Weird. Tell him I said hi.
We had a wonderful Zone Conference this week. Our last one with President McCracken. He is leaving on June 20th. I was so sad when i found that out. I'm going to miss President and Sister McCracken so much. I love them. I'm sure our new mission President Black will be good though. Anyway we learned about Bold Sauce. Being more Bold when teaching and testifying. Bold sauce is a liquid made of 3 main ingredients : Faith, Desire for the work, and Croutons. yesiree. Bold sauce is guaranteed to make you more Bold.
Well that is pretty much it actually. I know my email is kinda boring but hey, the Church is still true. Love ya,

PS It's transfer calls on Saturday. I have a feeling I'm getting transferred back down to Vegas for the summer again. yay for me.... crap

balder DASH!
Hey
I got the memory card, thanks. I can't remember if I sent one of the older ones though that I still have with me. I may have been saving it for when I got the new one back so I'll send that one too.
We had a pretty rough week this week. Lots of things just not going well. Our baptism cancelled at the last minute. Madison's mom wont let her be baptized now all the sudden. Elder Fish kept getting bloody noses throughout the day. I got 2 flat tires in one day. A lot of lessons cancelled on us. Our other investigator, Ted, is super depressed and won't commit to the stop smoking program. Just one thing after another. BUT I still know that my Heavenly Father and my Savior love me. I could literally feel the Savior's arms around me comforting me through these trials that I face. It may have been a hard week but it was also one of the best weeks. I learned a lot. I wouldn't trade this week for anything. Things will be much better next. NO unhallowed hand can stop the work from progressing!
I love ya

Knights of Cydonia
Hallo
It was good talking to you guys. Elder Fish wants to see recent recent photos. So send some on the email. Here's my week.
It was a good week. We got into a couple of bashes. Those things are a waste of time. Elder Fish used to like to bash but it's stupid. It's like wrestling with a pig. You both get muddy but the pig likes it. I don't waste my time with them. I just share my testimony and invite them to pray and read the Book of Mormon. I've done my job. I've invited them to come unto Christ and fufilled my purpose. I'm not going to waste my time with them. I could be using that time for those people who are prepared to hear the message. So dont bash! It's stupid.
I was so tired all week. But we went out anyway like we are supposed to. We tracted into a guy named Greg. When we first started talking to him he wasn't interested. Then we offered service. He said no and we went our way. Then as we finished up the last door and were about to leave, he called us back from the end of the street. He has been having problems with his back and he needs to paint his fence. So we will be helping him with that in a couple of weeks. I look forward to meeting with him again. Thank the Lord for bad backs.
Madison Frank is going to be baptized on May 15. yay!

It's all downhill from here
Hey
I'll be calling on Sunday at about 4 here. So that's 7 pm there. I hope that's ok. Congats Dad. Be careful or you could be the next Bishop.
This week was cool. Got to go to the Temple. That's always good. It's just so relaxing. I be chillin in the hood feeling the Spirit. Can life get any better? I submit that it cannot! Well, yeah it can. But right now I feel good.
Man, Elder Fish is whipping me into shape big time--taking me up hills and we have been teaching alot of lessons. Our stats look really good. I know that the Lord has blessed us with His Spirit. The Holy Ghost is the real teacher. I'm just an insturment. The mouthpeice. I'm like a trumpet. sometimes I feel like I don't deserve it. The mantle that missionaries hold is so great. The Lord is trusting us with his children. That is why we need to constantly repent. To empty the spit valve on our trumpet or the spirit cannot be as strong. It can't make the note that will let these people know the truth. We need the Spirit!
The Church is true. Christ Lives! Hurrah for Israel!
