Hi Mom,
Well, im glad that Chelsea is doing well. Does she read this? hahaha. Have her and Natalie been going to church? I got an email from Kim Benning, and i told her to go to church. maybe they can form a group and go together.
So that comment on the blog is from a member in the ward. We were over there for dinner (They have us over a lot), and we were eating pasta. She told us how she added some cinnamon to the pasta, because everything tastes good wtih cinnamon. Well, i made the comment that the first thing that came to my mind when i tasted it was "its like christmas in italy". it truely was, and now thats the dishes name.
Go to the Temple. The power theirin is beyond our knowledge.
So you like your new job then? thats good. My training is going alright. We are so busy lately. We are trying to make reporting more effective with the DLs, so its taking a lot longer. which means less time to prep for the CFA. thats okay though; like you say, first things first.
How are the Langs? when do they project their home will be done? havnt heard from Julia lately. i hope shes feeling better.
Hahaha yes, feed the missionaries. Sharkeys rocks. Did they get the pizza thing? i forget what its called... thats weird when you start to forget things lol.
This week has been mixed. It started great. we had a great dinner with Tony, and an excelent lesson with Seth. We had tours with the APs and did some really great work. There were two baptisms on saturday ,and i spoke at one of them. it was a great service. the spirit was strong. Unfortunately, None of the investigators who said they would come actualy showed up. Tony is working 24/7 for the next two weeks so we cant meet with him. Moniz had to cancle our appointment for sunday. worst thign about that was that the MP was going to come!! arg. sometimes its just so frustrating that the people you are trying to help wont accept it (it seems). Sometimes the burden seems too heavy, but thats when youve got to thorw it all on Christ. When you care about the people you teach, its hard to not get frustrated when they dont keep commitments. I know this week will be better.
Well, i love ya and miss ya. ttyl!
