Oh man. Already thinking about when I'm done huh? A little trunkie for your son, mother? The rules of the mission are as follows. 1. I would still be a missionary so I would need a companion or melchezidic priesthood holder to be with me so It can't be just you "gals." 2. We are told we are to go home on a plane and be picked up at the airport.
So...sorry. Also I wouldn't be able to do much of the fun stuff as a missionary still. But It would be sweet to road trip it up on down here to Florida to do a mission tour after I have been home and released! So we can do that! Then I can also experience Florida as a normal person. We can hit up beaches and swim and stuff...I don't know. How about that?
Things are going great! This Saturday we are having two baptisims. Laura and Antonio Murph. They have been investigating for a while and now are ready to be baptized! it's sweet! and Chris Hall has set a date for teh 26th of this month. So that will be the week after and he will be baptized with this kid named Sean. He is super cool. He went to church yesterday and loved it. There was much talk of a "trek" coming up on thursday, and Sean upon hearing this asked if he could go. Turns out he can, and is! haha! So awesome! so we will be teaching him tomorrow! So thats sweet!
So I pranked Elder Stensrud real good! haha! I wrote his lady friend, and asked for her help, she complied. She wrote him a normal letter and talked about sending him some pictures. she then sealed the envelope, ripped it back open and placed a joker card in it. then taped it shut. She then sent it to Stensrud, and sent me the pictures (with doubles) and I colored on them and did the little joker smile on them and now have sent them to Stensrud. So it looks like I intercepted his mail. haha! He is soo confused and can't figure out how I did it! He said, and I quote "I'm not even mad, I am actually really impressed!" haha! I will now send the doubles of the pictures I drew on to Elder Grant, one of the spanish elders living with Stensrud, to put in Stensrud's photo album of his lady friend's photos with a joker card. haha! so it should be good!
I have not met President Hall yet, and won't till next month. But President and Sister Darrington will be leaving next month and I will be seeing them for the last time the last sunday of June. So Thats kind of a bummer. But oh well.
But all is well and going good! hope the weather starts cooperating! Tell Dad: "happy fathers day and thanks for not beating me to death even when I deserved it!"

Tell Jake happy b-day! Not much is happening. Chris Hall, the dad of the two boys we have baptized, Has been wondering if there even is a god. So we have been teaching him so we can get him baptized then to the temple! So yesterday for fast Sunday we fasted that he would get a manifestation that God was real. So during sacrament he said he was praying asking God to show him that He's there. He then said that a voice came into his head and said "I am showing you." So he got his answer! We will be teaching him on wednesday at the church! Miracles do happen! That is the most exciting thing that has happened this week.
This is President and Sister Darrington's last transfer. They will be going home and when they get home they will be speaking at firesides and sacrament meetings and would love for you to come if you can to meet them. This is the closest one.

You are correct! no e-mail on holidays! but today is one! yay! happy day after holidays!
Well, The pranks will be going very well in a bit. I have lots of things instore for Elder Stensrud (Batman) . I got a hold of his Lady-friend's address and asked if she could help me, so if she does then There will be some good things happening there. Then I also enlisted the help of some of the sister missionaries in my zone and Elder Hyer and hopefully Elder Stienmen, the assistant, to help with another prank! so he won't know what hit him! haha! It's fun stuff!
The baptisms were awesome! Michelle Camreon (the wife of a recent convert) Was baptized by her Husband! She was very happy to be baptized! It was awesome to see Charles (her husband) being able to baptize her! Then Seanin (the older brother of Cullin) Was also baptized so now everyone in the Hall family is baptized except two. The oldest son and Chris who is the dad. But we are working with him! I really want to see them be a forever family! This week, we may or may not be able to baptize the Murph family. We have an appointment at 7 tonight with them and we will see exactly where they are at! So hopefully all is well there!
Elder Hansen ,My trainer, Was injusred awhile back at zone p-day. He was playing basketball and blew out his knee. He tore both meniscus (spelling?) So he needs a surgury. So this is his last transfer then he goes home. He was pretty bummed about it, but he has now since realized they it'll be ok!
Also...The convict was caught!
So even after a surgury Jake still looks like Jake....ugly and mean? haha! Just kiddin....but seriuosly though....
I got the package and all is well with it! Thank you very much! Did you forget who I am though? I'm don't like pickles! But it's ok! I am very greatful for the package! Also I did receive Aunt Jo's letter and check....But Just barely...I think it got lost in the mail. But Now I have to find where and how to cash it. I have been meaning to write a letter to them.
I wish luck for eveyone! all is well with me!

Wow. Sounds like some exciting things have been happening, like car crashes and stuff. Thats a super bummer for Tate....just gettting a mustang all fixed up then getting it totalled! Bummer! Oh well. Crap happens huh? Tell clint happy b-day and for his birthday...I give him the absence of my presence! haha!

Well things are good. um.......we are having two baptisms this saturday. then two more the following week! So thats cool! huh? yeah!

I was thinking...and I think some honey candy would be awesome! yep. I have been telling people about it, and so I said I would see about aquiring some for t hem to taste, but I also want some for me! That would be neat for my over the hill mission b-day.
Thursday we tracted and it felt like I was in a video game! There were helicopters circling all about and sirens. So we were wondering what was going on....then a member, sister Sheckmen, (who use to live in Aberdeen of all places!) Pulled over and informed us that a convict had escaped and was being serched for! So that was neat! yep. Well.....um.....Thats about it. I'm still pulling some sweet pranks on Elder Stensrud. He says he has got a plan for me. So I'll wait to see what happens! haha!
Well hope all is welll and tell Jake and Tate that seatbelts are great for holding people! kind of like pools are great for holding water! right?
