An Amazing Week

hey fam,

every thing is grand and dandy and the time is flying by!!! its already
october!! happy birthday ty on the 4!!! you probably wont be able to eat what
you would like to on that day but i think ice cream and cake mixed up in the
blender would make a good mix...
i cant believe that he blended up the chester fried special!! i guess ya got to do
 what ya got to do.
how does he communicate?? with his mouth wired shut, is he just
mumbling?? its gonna be a tough few months
for him but i know that he wont lose the excitement of being ty.
the transfer ended and i got another calling. im a zone leader now in
Guarapuava. its a little city that is the last area in the mission.
im way excited to work here and my comp is a freakin stud.
he was my zone leader a while back. im getting
old here on the mish...
thats cool that justin ran into elder Kendrick.
he was in my district for a while and we got to joke around a little bit.
he lives in logan. ill have to visit him when i get home. i bet justin and arien
 are stoked with the new house. thats good that they were able to
close on it and now everything is set to go.
mom, did you ever get a letter from president araujo  a few
weeks ago?? its not any thing bad but he sent something to all the families.
could you send me some more deodorant ? the deodorant here is really expensive
and it doesnt last long..!
im glad that the benefit dinner went well and that lots
of people were there to support  ty. that is gonna
help out a lot i hope, with the expenses.
i love you guys! have a great week!

One for the record books...

today has been a really long full day for me but everything goes into place when 
i get the good ol email from the fam. i had to travel to curitiba today (2 hour 
trip) to do some things at the federal police station. it took about 15 minutes 
there then i got back on a bus and headed back to ponta grossa. all that 
traveling for a 15 min thing. it was a little strange too cause i went with a 
sister missionary.... thats one that will go down in the record books...! a 
sister missionary doing a division with an elder! it wasnt too bad, i got to meet 
up with some of the dudes from my mtc group there.
we had a good week with lots 
of blessings and a baptism that pretty much fell out of the sky for us. we have 
been teaching a kid for quite a while now that has gone to church every week and 
is really enjoying the activities. he just wouldnt accept baptism cause he said 
that his heart was converted to a little church on the street corner by his 
house. he likes all the excitement that the pastor brings when he yells and 
carries on. anyways, we went there this week and taught a really good lesson with 
him and answered a bunch of questions that he had. right before we left he asks, 
"elders, if i wanted to get baptized tommorow???" it was 730 saturday night! we 
called our zone leaders to come do a baptismal interview and everything went 
right and he was baptized sunday. pretty cool stuff!!! he was just waiting for 
the right moment i guess...
 im so glad to hear that ty is doing good for the 
situation that he is in. the benefit dutch oven activity will be really cool. 
thats awesome that those guys would do that to help out ty. im praying that 
there will be a lot of people there and that everything will go right. i would sure 
like to be there. im pretty sure that if the town knows about it they will go. 
everyone loves ty.
tell ty that cream of wheat is a good liquid food and it can 
put some meat back on his bones!
tell krissy i said congratulations on the engagement!
she is too young and pretty to be alone and the kids need a dad to do things with them.
mom dont get discouraged with all that is going on. just 
remember to keep up the faith and stay happy. joshua 1:9. 
i love you guys!!! 
have a great week!!!

Great Week

hey fam

the week was great and we had a big conference with president yesterday.
 he sure knows his stuff and his talks are really powerful!! he really puts a fire in
your underwear to get out and work. we learned a lot of good new techniques and
easier ways to work hard and have lots of results. me and my comp are working
really hard and being blessed with our work.
we're teaching to every creature that walks these streets...we had about five different instances
 this week where the messages that we taught to some families, they said that it was
exactly what they were needing and that they had been with troubles in their
mind that the messages gave answers to. good stuff!!!
 its good to hear that ty was able to go back to school and get caught up with all 3 of his classes.
 he is gonna have a great senior year!
 you guys are all staying busy now with work and school and mom at the
 case lot sales. its good to stay busy.
i love you guys!!
have a great week!!

What A Week!!

Dear Mom,

i didnt know what to think about the email this week!!! wow! quite the scare about ty and all the surgerys that he will now have to go through. everything is going to go well and just remember to keep praying for his health and recovery and especially for his mind. without a doubt im praying like mad and continuing on with faith that it will all go well and that he will not have pain and suffering. ty is crazy!! i cant believe that he over shot the landing by that far. those pictures that you sent of him are un believable. i doesnt even hardly look like ty!! i know that he will stay in good spirits through it all and i hope that he will be able to return to school as soon as possible to not have problems with that later but most importantly is that he returns to good old ty again. i would of liked to be there to give him a blessing but i know that my other brother, kolby, will always be there to help out.
we had a good week. we had 2 baptisms to end out the month with a arm raised high. our zone is being rewarded for the month of august by going to the temple next week!!! which is gonna be awesome. it isnt possible that the areas in the interior part of the mission go to the temple because it is so far away but president is gonna get us a bus and were taking a road trip. it was a big thing for us and were all happy to be able to go. me and my new comp are working extra hard and doing all we can to find families to teach and help. the month of august flew by!
i bet it was cool to be at the homecoming meeting of kolby and mike. i just laughed seeing the pictures. good stuff. who else is home now??
did you get my last weeks email mom?? i tried to send the other weeks e-mails also.
i got the package this week and i almost died when i opened that bubble wrapped mountain dew. it was really tasty and it didnt last 10 minutes! there are some elders in my district that were really jealous. now im gonna enjoy some good taters and gravy for a couple of weeks. i love you guys so much!!!!!
i pray that all will go well for ty. mom, ty, its gonna be a tough couple of months but always remember and have faith that everything will go well. tell ty that i love him and that im thinking of him.
have a great week and keep ty out of that wheel chair because before to long he is gonna want to jump something in it also!!
i love you guys!!!!
