busy, busy all the day!

past week was a good week. We had some setbacks but every week is always a good week as a missionary! We had interviews on Tuesday and President Hansen said he wants me to stay here another transfer if possible so I can be here for Bobby's baptism so he's going to try and give us a car up here and we'll stay in College Station which is the ideal situation but if not then I will be moving to either Tomball or Montgomery. Transfer calls are saturday so we'll see. Well...Guida and Francis broke up with us. Well that's how it felt like when youre dating someone and they break up with you out of nowhere! I called her to make sure we could still come teach her the next day which was Saturday and she said no maam and I said okay well we'll have the cluff's come get you for church at 830 is that alright and she said no maam and I said uh...well when would you like us to come over again and she said when I call you. It was devastating! I think they were fed some anti stuff and they just don't know enough to stand firm against it so they think we're just crazy now! Oh after interviews President and Sister Hansen came and taught Yuanfa with us it was really great having them there and to talk with yuanfa about the whole communist party thing. Sis Lieber got sick for a couple days so I finished the Book of Mormon and almost done with the New Testament. When you are up at 630 and don't have anything to do for the next 15 hours, you get a lot done but I was going crazy... and that was for 2 days! So nina Lili's address is Lin.lili2@gmail.com and she really really wants to talk to you so email her!!! I gave her your email address too! Oh just a little FYI for yall Brittney Barney, Travis' wife just wrote me and Brittany and Jacob are getting married August 21st...so weird. And Katie Nalder is engaged to her missionary who got home in February. Zaundra is just a couple hours from me that's so weird and Dantz is doing an EFY session in San Antonio this summer. Let's see what else happened last week... the elders tracted our apt complex cause we can't since it's where we lived and they found a philipino family that we're gonna start teaching I think we're going over tonight. We need more referrals from the ward so hopefully they'll start coming. Hey mom my patriarchal blessing I think is in my file or else in my storage but I lost my copy I made for out here so could you make a copy and send it to me? I really miss reading it... Mom i'm so happy to hear you went to the temple how was it? Dad let me know what Sis Mccauley's last name is cause I might be in her parent's ward. Mom I haven't gotten the package but I'm sure it'll come soon. I oredered mesh garments and they just got here today...let me tell you that's where it's at! so breathable... Shaye your email was great thanks for taking the time to email me I love hearing from all of you! Keili we don't have any temple square missionaries I think Sis Zepeda was one but she's gone now. Randy thanks for writing it's great to know you still watch sister sister in your spare time and find joy in harming your 8 month old....no really your email was great thanks a lot! And happy birthday ya old fart!! seriously you're growing up it's insane! Well last week we only taught 16 lessons but that's actually pretty good since we only taught 5 of the 7 days. Oh Jacson I just love your face and miss you and can't believe your getting your braces off soon! Happy Gotcha day I hope you got everything you wanted and I hope everyone brought you a present that came to dinner cause that is your rule. Well I should probably leave you with a spiritual message and extend a commitment. We need to all be cosntantly striving to have our life's foundation built upon the teaching's of christ and we can do that by following all his commandments and all the prophet's counsel even in little things even if they seem minimally important. They give us commandments for our own protection and benefit and the blessings that come with these commandments only come as we obey them. I think D&C 130:20-21 tells us that. So I challend you all to read helamen5:12 and decide what you can do better to have a more solid foundation so when all those storms come, we will stand strong and not be destructed. After that we can read Mosiah 2:41...I think that's it. And we can read what the blessings are of those who remain faithful til the end. There's so many things in today's world that can shade our view of the eternal perspective but I know as we keep that eternal view on things we will lead a much more successful and happy life. And I have to say this cause I'm a missionary and I know how it feels to not have many investigators....look for those oppurtunities to share the gospel whether it be a book of mormon pass along card ensign or even bearing your testimony. We have been given this gospel freely and freely we should give. In D&C 60 verse 2 or 3 it tells us that the Lord is not pleased with those who have that talent and will not open up their mouths and if they don't open their mouths that talent will be taken away. So I know as we strive to find thsoe oppurtunities they will come and we will know what to do when it happens as long as we are doing all we can to share our great message with everyone! K I'm done getting preachy but I just love you all and think you are all the best and loved all your letters! Let me know if there's anyone who needs anything...extra prayers and such! Love you all!
