Edmond, Oklahoma- Week 95

Hey!

My week has gone well, it was a little stormy last night, but the weather has actually been a little cooler than normal! We were able to go to a scout fundraiser at the church this week, and it was really fun. There was dinner there as well. Jordan Cortez was able to come out teaching with us last night, it was awesome! We had a great lesson with him there. Love you!

Edmond, Oklahoma- Week 94

Hey! 
We had a good week, we have been staying busy, with everything. We thought that we would get some storms this week, but so far the weather has been nice. Maybe a little rain. I'm slowly liking Edmond more and more, I think the thing that I still have to get used to is that the areas here are so big, and spread apart. So I think its the directions I'm having trouble with, but like I said it is getting better :) We are not really doing much today, shopping, maybe some sports. Love you

Edmond, Oklahoma- Week 93

Hey! 
So we got some storms this week, lots of rain and lots of wind- no tornadoes which is good. It has been a fun week, we were kept pretty busy with everything which is a good thing. We talked to a lot of people this week, we were able to find a few new people to teach. At Church last Sunday, they announced to the ward that this was going to be my last area......... thanks..........haha I am still loving the mission, it is great being out here!

Edmond, Oklahoma- Week 92

Hey! 
Yep, so I am in Edmond 2nd now! It is a lot different then Del City. It's still a little weird being in the more city like areas, but I do like it - and that we have a car! :) I am so glad for that. The work is going pretty well in this area. This week we were able to set two baptismal dates, so that was great. We do some service here every week, and it all sounds like so much fun! The weather has been nice, so storms yet, but we heard that we might be getting some this week. We were able to go with Jimmy to get his Patriarchal Blessing this week, it was sooo cool to be able to be there! The spirit was so strong there, it was amazing. Like I said last week- my companion is Elder Ricks and he's cool- we get along great!  Hes been out 9 months. And it's cool, one of the places we do service here is called the hope center. It's sort of like GoodWill. People donate stuff to it, and then they sell it for a few dollars. You can buy a new GPS for $3, so can't wait to go there! Have a great week! 

Del City, Oklahoma- Week 91

Hey! 
So im getting transferred :( I'm going to Edmond 2nd Ward, the address is 3621 Wynn Dr. Apt 55. Edmond, 73013. We had a really good week here in Del City though! So we ended on a good note, there has been so many miracles this week. We found so many new people to teach, it was a week to remember. We had a lot of members come out with us, and we got in to our appointments with those members as well :) We met Rodney- he talked with missionaries here in the past, a long time ago, and it was really cool how they found him! Long story short, they literally saved his life, he loves meeting with us, sadly he has cancer and doesn't have that long left, but he is the most humble guy I have ever met, it was awesome that we found him. We had exchanges with the zone leaders this week, and that went well. We went to their area for the day. And the next day, their was a Book of Mormon play that the Spanish branch did in the city and so we got to go to that. It was sooo good, they put so much effort into that. I'm going to miss this place, I really liked it here!

Del City, Oklahoma- Week 90

Hey!
So this week has been pretty good, Zone P-day was really fun, we had a relay race, and some other activities, one of them was a egg toss, and there was some people that got really far, they were probably throwing this egg from 70+ feet away, and they didn't break it! There was one that bounced on the ground and didn't break.......... at one point we thought they cheated and hard-boiled it or something! Finally it broke so it wasn't hard boiled, the one that they had was one tough egg! We had lots of fun, and we had a meeting after that. We learned a lot about different teaching situations; they had some members that were in different room, and so we had to practice teaching them. It was good practice. Service at the food pantry was fun as always. And then on Friday, :) I had a great birthday! :) And the sisters threw a little party as well, it was great, best birthday on a misson ever! We went on exchanges with the Choctaw Elders, that went well. We were helping someone build a playground set for his daughters birthday, it was fun to help out, it took forever though. My knees are doing ok, I have been doing the exercises like I have been told, so hopefully that will help. The storm we got on Friday-Sunday wasn't the best. We are still really busy, and the work is starting to pick back up again. And we don't know about transfers yet, it is a 7 week transfer so we will know next week.
