Dear fam
Sounds like a fun weekend that you had with every one visiting, playing and such!
As a district we are going to the temple next week hopefully. ill try and keep you posted. so if I don’t write on Monday don’t freak out. but if you don’t get one bay Friday you can go ahead and freak out haha. I will try and meet with him, the temple pres. but no promises.
pshhh yeah day one was rough - mother crying and crying and calling every 2 seconds it was like i was dying:) i love you any way mom. (He’s making reference to Sabrina Welch and that her mom is going to be crying . . . little stinker!)
That is really sad about Mr. Brown. I can remember playing football out on gemstone with Colby and the other kids down the street i can’t remember their names. Also right after we fixed up Ana with a new muffler how quiet she ran. Mr Brown didn’t really like that because he didn’t have an alarm clock any more to wake him up;) i think he was just razing us but it was funny. He sure was always a fun and nice neighbor and had a smile on his face :) great man
Investigators are a pain to meet with! it’s been rough trying to schedule stuff and than have them cancel or what not. but the members are starting to step up their missionary work. we had three dinners where there was a nonmember there. nothing came of it but its planting those precious seeds. some times it’s a pain but once that seed takes root ooooo how amazing that is :) it all works out. we got a call from one of the investigators Matt, the catholic that doesn’t want to change religions, well he is starting to change. he got done with his "home work" and wants more! we haven’t been able to meet with his wife. but once one joins the fold the other will see the light and the change and for lack of a better phrase its game over!
There where a few sick people this week. we gave 3 blessings this week 2 two members one less active one active and than one to Shane. Shane looked so miserable he texted us and asked us to pray for him. we said we could do one better if we came over we could give him a blessing he didn’t know what that was at the moment but after we talked about what it is and how its done he said i have the faith give me this blessing! we did and now he is back on his feet and so busy it difficult to meet with him! uggg how this works some times.
We didn’t have any investigators to work but a military family( Fairchild’s) their oldest daughter Olivia(i think) brought a friend to church. in Sunday school they read form the book of Mormon and Olivia’s friend already had the bom app on her ipad. good ol' seed planting. that one will turn in to a plant soon hopefully!
Some thing interesting I have eaten this week is... for the two weeks for except for the 4 dinners with members we have had lasagna for breakfast... lunch... and dinner.... I tried eating some of it this morning for breakfast and well my tum tum is still not happy I think we are going to throw the rest way. the young women had some sort of get together where they had it and well the girls didn’t eat hardly any of it and so we got the 3 huge pans full of it.. so sick of that stuff and watch tomorrow we will have it for dinner! Hahaha (oh, man, that me laugh!)
last p-day we played dodge ball as a district all day so no naps or letters written. all of us where so sore for about 3 or 4 days incredible from something so simple to get sore from that . . . goodness i must be a missionary!
P-day today we got free tickets to the Minnesota History Museum and so we are going to that with Elder Waller and Eggerston. I have my camera this time so next pday I will hopefully be sending some pictures with my email.
Wednesday we got snow. I am not sure where you’re getting this whole warming up thing from. snow at the end of April.. yeah buddy Minnesota!
If you could, can you send out $20. my comp can’t budget worth a darn and with laundry being expensive. If you could I would appreciate it. Thanks for being my mother
Friday Saturday and Sunday we where asked to step up our game on contacting this week. i don’t know why we do that on holidays like Easter and Christmas he don’t really meet to many people that want to talk because they are with family or partying or something but we did. that was the most I have been told I am going to hell in my life. it’s been rough but after the trial comes the blessing. this week we will get a blessing, it may not be a new investigator it may just be a week of people that are nicer and willing to talk.
Sunday was awesome! church was jam packed with the spirit! we had 3 musical numbers one of them the priesthood body sang This is the Christ (missionaries sing that at every zone conference) i love that song very much. it makes the atonement more personal “how many drops of blood where spilt for me" the atonement was for every one. Christ did it one by one because he loves us each individually. that’s a lot of love to give to every one, even those who don’t want to receive it. such a blessing to have that knowledge that He wants me in heaven with Him. that’s why He did that for me :)
well till next week
lover elder baker
