Two Weeks In

June 16, 2010 (email)

Dear family,

Well, week two is done it has gone pretty dang fast. I email from the library and I get 30 mins to email family and 20 mins to email president.

We are going to go to the aquarium today with our zone leaders and another companionship, it will be fun.

Thank you for the letters they help me so much. I will try to write more than once but I don’t know if I can do that, I’m really busy. I am really glad that you got me some more pictures and I got the ones from Grandma Thompson.I got a good idea that we need to take that same picture when I get back ha-ha that would be really cool.

This week we tracked for 30 hours. We have been working really hard. We have taught some lessons and I am learning really fast and I am getting more confidence to talk to people. Yesterday we were OYMing (open your mouth) on Broadway and I started to talk to this guy and girl. The girl was "rebel child" and didn’t like organized religion but her boyfriend’s grandma is LDS and he has been to church before. I taught them a basic plan of salvation and I gave them a little pamphlet that explained that and with our number on the back the address to the church and what time it started ha-ha. Then the girl gave me a flower because she thought I was a nice person ha-ha. It was really cool. People are really crazy they have some crazy ideas ha-ha but I am loving it. It is going way fast but slow ha-ha its okay.

Have you heard any thing on Chayse or Hayden's mission efforts? Tell Hayden that he better get to work and prepare for this I sent him a letter that told him what would help.

I love you all so very much I will try to write you more. I love you and kinda miss you ha-ha.

I am still waiting on a letter from Tucker and dad? um thanks ha-ha love you
