October 29, 2012--Las Vegas West Mission


Hey, so this week is going good.  We are teaching more people.  It is good.  A lot of really cool people.  We are teaching a family of 5 right now!  I hope we can get them.  I think we should be able to.  They are an awesome family.  Really good people and love the church.  It would be my first family to be able to baptize.
 
It sounds like everyone is having a good time at home and taking care.  I love the mission.  Sorry, I don't have much time left.  We have to go.

Me and my companion are staying together for another six weeks.  It will be good.  We are getting more used to each other.  It is going good.  We work hard every day and get good results.  But yeah, love y'all.  Hope everything is going good.
 
I have been thinking a lot about a talk called, Eternal Law.  It is really good.  I will have to see if i can send it to you some how.  We will see.

Dear Mom,

You rock.

Hey so, this week has been good.  We are working on working better together and I started making fun of him like I do everyone else and it has gotten better.   Haha.  Who knew?  Maybe that is the key.... make fun of the other person.  I think so.  It is.  Man, how could I be so blind?  haha.
 
The work is going good.  We are working in our new ward.  We took half of the ward that Ivy was in, so we were at their sacrament meeting, and that is where I saw her.  It was funny.  But yeah, she is staying in the old ward, so it should be cool.  Where we are now we have an awesome missionary minded bishiop.  That is the best.  When your bishop wants to help you, then so does the rest of the ward.  It is really just down hill, spill.  It is cool.
 
Yeah, we had a baptism this week.  We took if from another set of missionaries.  But we are working hard now to get one for ourselves. 
 
I am kinda depressed.  For the first time on my mission someone told me that I am getting old, and then it happened again on the next day.  It is ridiculous.  I don't understand it, haha.  It is no fun.  But, I guess I will get over it, haha.  Maybe.
 
The mission is awesome.........so I think MC needs to go now!  Stop waiting, haha. Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo now

October 15, 2012--Las Vegas West Mission

Hey, family.  How is everything?
 
This week has been a little hard.  It has been a good week for teaching, but has been hard with my comp.  He is just kinda mean to everyone, and kinda has a feeling of hollier than thou.  It is a little frustrating but we found some new people, and had a ward split this week.  So, we are now covering two wards again, which could be a little difficult, but it seems that it will be way better.  We have an aweosme new bishopric, and we are really excited.  It should be really good. 
 
The work is progressing, and it seems to be an exciting time.
 
We are looking forward to being able to work in our new bigger area.  It seems like it is going to go pretty good.
 
We are getting a baptism from another set of missionaries, haha.  It is kind of funny, but stinks for them, ha.  Oh well, we are doing good though.  Sister Rosequist is still awesome, haha.  We had a lady run into some anti stuff, but it is just a bunch of lies.  So we have to deal with that now.  I hate that stuff.  But yeah, everything is going good.
 
Thanks so much for the prayers.

October 8, 2012--Las Vegas West Mission

Hey, so, this week has been good.  I love this area and where I live.  My comp is a little hard.  I like doing work with him, I just am struggling with the way he wants to deal with problems in the zone.  He wants to just lay into them with very little love toward them.  I am kinda struggling with that.  I don't like that at all.  I don't mind getting on to them for something, but I don't want to just yell at them ever.  But, besides that it has been good.  I really do love the work.  It is awesome.
 
Conference was awesome.  It was amazing.  Every talk was just spot on, but I think my favorite talk was by Elder Holland.  It brought me to tears.  It is always so sad when you see returned missionaries that have just fallen.  It is bad.  I loved that talk.  I will be better than that.  I have to be.
 
That announcement was crazy.  It was awesome.  I am kinda worried about there being young, good looking sisters in the mission.  It spells more problems haha, but I think it will be a real strength to the work and really expand the possibilities.
 
We are struggling to find (investigators) right now in this area.  We have some that are alright but no one super solid.
 
It has been a good week.

What truck?  I have not seen it.  What is it??????????????? (Zack's new Old truck--1969 Ford)
I know I want to, but yeah, the truck is awesome.  Is it 4x4? (no)  Awesome.  Then he can give this one to me, and it will be my baby, haha.  If it is 4x4!

October 1, 2012--Las Vegas West Mission

Hey,hey, hey
 
So, this week has been good.  I am enjoying only having one ward.  So we will see how it goes.  My ward mission leader is really wierd, i am not going to lie.  He is from Alamo, which was part of my area up in Panaca.  It was awesome up there, it really was great, but he is really wierd.  He just yelled at us because we suggested that we change a few things and I think it made him feel less than perfect, even though I think we did it in a nice way.  But, we shall see in a few weeks.  There will be a ward split which will allow us to be able to get a new ward mission leader, which will be nice.
 
But, this ward is good.  I really love the people here.  We are trying to work as hard as we can, but we are finding that this is such a huge ward that it makes it hard to get people to fellowship very well.  But, it is also really, really young which is awesome.  I think people just don't see the new people.  Now that I am on my mission I appreciate how Pops always would go up to people and say hi to them.  It really does make a difference. 
 
Well, we are teaching some people, but we are really struggling to find new people to teach, which we really need.
