Ya, Taylor's mom is a member but dad is not.
Holy cow. That is terrible calving weather. I am doing the same down here but I wish I could work with our own A tornado! Good grief that hail is something else.
Thanks for the line up. That sounds like a pretty good line up. Wow, Carson on 3rd, huh. That's impressive.
Oh yeah, I remember that catch. :)
Thanks for the Grandpa Barrus story. I love him. That is such a President Monson story of going out of your way for other people.
What are you learning as district leader? What are you doing, that is different than when you weren't a district leader?
Well, as a district leader, I am basically taking care of two other sets of missionaries, both sisters. I don't really know how to handle sisters, but I"m doing my best to try to keep them happy and so far they seem to be. But the feelings stuff, good grief, you have to listen to all of it, and then act on it. But it isn't too bad. You have to just get how their week went and how their goals are going so it is not too hard.
What are you looking forward to?
I'm looking forward to exchanges this week. I'm taking Elder Garvin out to the res and hoping that we can get some stuff done out there so that should be good.
What is hard for you... what don't you look forward to?
I don't know why, but Sundays are killing me. They shouldn't but, the are because it is all like the same thing every Sunday and it gets old.
Are you exercising a lot? Have you done some "Coleby workouts"?
I do Coleby's workouts every morning for 30 minutes, and I do 80 push ups every night. I'm trying to get to 100, but who knows yet.
What kind of work did you do this week?
Oh man, I worked a ton and that's what I love. Just did a ton of ranch work. I got an old John Deere tractor to run and changed the tire for it. I think Heavenly Father was helping me there.
What is your testimony about Joseph Smith and the Restoration? That is the theme for Sunday School this month.
Everyone bashes him out here, but I have really come to stand up for him. He has don a ton and it feels like he needs someone to stick up for him, so I'm really working on stuff like that.
Do you have to email your mission president each week? Do you write a lot of letters?
I hardly write any hand written letters at all but I try to email everyone that emails me. My MTC elders write me regularly. I do write to the mission president each week.
What else do you want to tell us about your week?
Well, the past week we found two new investigators, that we hope will want to move forward.
And I am going to send a package today, with just some stuff that I don't need and I'll see if I can send some other stuff in a while.
How much is on my debit card?
Oh, and one last deal is that we are getting phones here soon so you should have gotten an email about it, but I don't know a whole lot of details at the moment. But we can get all that set up.
Ok, I am doing good and I am looking forward to this week. I hope that the calving goes well. I have been praying for that too. I hope that everyone has an awesome week. I love you all.
Love,
Elder Reiley
