DEEAAARRR Family!!
Heeyyy how's it goin? Good? Good. I could end it there but i won't. NATE AND ASHLEE ARE GETTING MARRIED!!!!! Holy moly how weird! Ha ha. Gosh that is so awesome!! I am excited! It seems like it is all coming together though which is good!! It'll be awesome to have the whole family there. You should get a cardboard cut out of me ha ha nahh. Franco is going on a mission?! Dang that is so sweet! Way to be! Heyy you need to be keepin an eye out on that there Jamesy now, there will be no dancing in that house! Eh what am i kiddin. That's ALL we did in that house.
So, basically it was an AWESOME week. But what's new? Being on a mission is seriously the best thing ever. I LOVE IT! There wasn't a whole lot of exciting things that happened, but that really doesn't matter. Just being out here rocks. Especially when you get to meet with a living Apostle!!!!!! WHAAHH? That's right! This Saturday, Elder Bednar. There's definitely an excitement in the mission. Ha ha. We have 2 talks he's given the mission to study on faith and they are amazing. It is definitely inspired that he will be training us on it. Last week was one of the best weeks we've had in the mission! President sent out a voice mail about all that happened and it is just amazing to see all of these amazing things going on. An Amish family was baptized!! They began investigating and they fasted and prayed for 3 days to know the truth. President went up and taught them himself! And they know it's true. All of it. I love being out here. Hearing of all the many miracles that are happening. Just as of old. The work of the Lord rolls forth!!
Conrad was kicked out Wednesday night. Things blew up with his dad, but he's now in a better more positive home. He's been living with some members close by and is still planning on serving which is so good. We've been visiting him almost every day letting him know we love him and are here for him. He's taking it all pretty well, but is still having a pretty hard time with basically his whole family being against him. He has so much support though. We were able to attend a ward counsel meeting yesterday and the bishop brought up Conrad and when he did everybody jumped in to give support. I love this ward. But Conrad is doing well. He has a lot of people that love him here, and we're definitely seeing blessing coming to him even in this rough time.
We found a few new people to teach this past week, oh man it has been so fun. We taught Felix on Wednesday which was so sweet. He is so smart, we'd ask him a question and he would answer it perfectly. Every one of them!! That's a first. Mike is another one. He is less committal but is still so awesome. He has a lot of the same beliefs but says "I'll find it some day." meaning the truth. Which drove me to ask "Why can't you find it now?" Still so non committal. It is interesting to me that people want to find the truth but aren't willing to do the work. But you see that a lot on a mission. It's all about them and how prepared they are i guess. And of course on us. What a responsibility a missionary has.
There's a guy talking to the computer next to me. He's saying stuff like...i can smell you rambo...you better find me an answer for me...or suffer the consequences...and a lot of other nonsensical words....i love the library. Ha ha. Oop and another guy talking about his stupid..nephew? I dunno.
Well, it's time to head back to the work. I love you family! Being a missionary is awesome!!!! I love Ohio. It's definitely the place for me. Although the weather is nuts ha ha. It's 60 degrees right now! Woo! Anyway. I loovvveee yooouuu. Have fun at the wedding!!!! OJHLIGLUFGLKHLKLKLKI! That's my excitement.
The Church is true!
