Sick In Bed

This past week has been an interesting one.  I spent most of it sick in bed.  I got a stomach virus at the beginning of the week and couldn't keep anything down, so I ended up getting really dehydrated and needing to go to the ER to get rehydrated.   After that whole ordeal I was really wiped out so I needed to rest for the rest of the week just to get back up to where I could go out and do something, but I’m back up and running now so I should be good.  In other news, we got information on transfers.   I will be staying and finishing Elder Owens’ training in Peachtree City serving as district leader.  The work is moving forward.  We are teaching this wonderful family.  They are progressing and will be getting dunked soon:) 

 

Well love you all,

Till next time

Alive In Georgia

Well,  its been a long time since I have written an update, mainly because I didn't think there was much to update on.

It's getting cold in Georgia, like really cold, especially in the mornings and night on the bikes.  I am so happy to be here in Georgia during this fall and seeing all the trees change color. I am serving in the Peachtree City ward and it is perfect.  It's full of great families and people that love to feed the missionary's:)  It's funny, you know how the missionaries always ask "is there anything we can do for you?" and everyone is like "No, I think we are good."  Well not in Georgia.  In the fall you ask that question and they shove a rake in your hand and you are raking leaves for the next hour:)  The work is going good and my companions are great.  We are teaching about 6 different people at the moment, some progressing better that others, but I think I'll get a chance to dunk them all:)  Wow!  Can you believe I have been out for 8 months already.  I guess time flies when your having fun!  

My companions are doing great.  I'm training a new missionary, Elder Owens, this transfer but I'm also with another companion, Elder Ericson, so yeah, there is 3 of us.  Imagine that knocking at your door:)  Sadly, Elder Ericson goes home next week and boy he won't let us forget it!  It will be sad to see him go but I think I'm ready for more room in the apartment.

Other that that, I'm in good health and am staying warm.  I'll send some pictures next week!

Just started the Book of Alma if anyone wants to read along with me:)
 
Till next week,

Long Awaited Updates

Oct 27 2014

 

Doing good.  I’m in Peach Tree City, an area I already covered in the YSA ward.

I’m training a new missionary named, Elder Owens and he's great and I have another companion named Elder Ericson.  He will be leaving in 3 weeks so I will have to take over soon.   

 

The entire area will be all up to me and my new missionary as well as district leader responsibilities for about two weeks. 

 

Hey I met someone who went to our church building in Minnesota.  She knows the Morley's and the Nightingale's.  

 

I forgot my camera today but I will have lots of pictures to send next week 

 

They had a trunk or treat but we had an appointment so we didn't get to go.

 

Appointments are great!

 

It’s cold in the morning! and everything is turning orange.  It’s so great to have Fall again. 

 

I’m in one ward and church was great.  It is nice to be in a family ward.  It feels more like home.

 

Tell Cadence she can’t carve a pumpkin without me. She will just have to have a blank pumpkin.

 

Ok well, I got to go.  I’ll send pictures next week. 

 

Can you tell dad I’m going to get protein powder, that's the only thing I will use my card on this week.  I’m putting my card away and not even carrying it with me.

 

Love you guys soooooooo much 

Have a fun and safe Halloween 

Can’t wait to see pictures!

Doing good, played soccer and base ball this morning. I have had a cold for the last 2 days it put me out on Saturday.

Does our insurance cover a flue shot?

Oh, so you know the walking dead?
its filmed in my area. I went to the set the other day:)

I’m no longer going to be in YSA. They haven't told us where we are going but I will be in a companionship with 3 elders and I will be training a new missionary. Oh, and I’ll be on a bike.

 

This last week I went on a week long exchange with the zone leaders so I haven't been in YSA for the last week.  It was weird, I wish I was able to be in my ward for my last Sunday though. 

 

How is grandpa?   

 

I think that it’s going to be fun to introduce a new missionary to mission life. 

 

My lion bite is healing well:)

 

Ok, well I got to go 

I love you 

Till next week:)
