Hello good day everybody. Hope everybody is having an awesome life. I
sure am. I'm still doing great out here in Zion east. This week I got
a new companion. His name is elder Smith. He's from St George, Utah.
He is pretty much a rail! He is really skinny. Hopefully I can help
him get some meat on his bones. He's been out for about 6 months.

Not too much happened this week. Other that getting a new companion.
We were able to teach a few lessons and find a few people. Nothing too
exciting. The best thing that happened this week was I got to pull a
prank on elder Smith, I'll send a video with the email.

It's been raining a lot here and I kind of like it a little bit. It's
so green here. It's going to also get very humid and I am not excited
for that. One thing that did happen today is that Harry Trice the man
who was excommunicated and in the hospital and wanted to be
rebaptized. He went home about two weeks ago and we got a call from
his wife this week telling us that he had passed away on Wednesday
evening. So please keep that family in your prayers. Also Guy who is
one of our investigators, had his grandmother pass away this week as
well. That's why we haven't been able to see them either.

The church is true. Joseph Smith is a prophet of God and we are
definitely in the last days and we need to prepare for the saviors
second coming. Love you all.

Dad. Hi. Sounds like you had a lot of fun at fathers and sons. Have they started to call it that again? Those sound like fun games. I always enjoyed them when I played them. That's great that Carson was able to beat all the youth. How come he didn't beat brother Lambrigger. He's such a small man.I saw a picture of that fence and it looks really good. Daren and Marla went to Hawaii, that sounds like a lot of fun. That's good that the Dbacks are doing okay. Hopefully they can start pulling of some wins and get on a streak. I wonder who it's going to be in the finals for the nba. I heard about Tom Brady getting a four day suspension. Hopefully Brady won't play in that game so the Cardinals might have a better chance of winning.

Mom. 

I'm glad I got the package too. Those pants are a nice but are still a
little small on me. But I'm going to be losing some weight this
transfer. A sister here in the ward who is basically the missionary
mom in this ward made me a Texas sheet cake. And she's actually from
Texas. Do you think you could thank her in some way? There's also a
few others I'd like for you to maybe thank. I have not gotten the
envelope with money and cards yet. I'm really eager and excited for
it. I wonder why the bank wants us to do it a different way.

I did get a new companion. His name is Elder Smith. He is from St
George, Utah. We are getting along. He's really easy to get along
with. Who are the Fletcher's? I don't know them. I'll actually send a
few pictures today even a video of a prank that I pulled in elder
smith.

Elder Gibbons is pretty much healed up by now. He went to center city
Philadelphia. Our lessons went pretty well. But unfortunately nobody
showed up to church like they said they would! I feel like I need to
be more bold and kind of rebuke people for not coming to church. Cause
I am sick and tired of people not keeping those commitments. It
honestly makes me very frustrated! Take a picture of bro finch our
ward mission leader. Well here's a quick description. He's an old man
in his 80s. Has a hard time hearing when he doesn't have his hearing
aids in. He is super healthy. When we are with him and we have the
decision to either take the elevator or the stairs he automatically
starts walking down the stairs. He's a really nice man.

That's crazy that they are both MaKayla and Brendee married now. I'm sure everything went
well with both the weddings. Who won the stick pull at father and sons? Probably dad.
That fence at grandpas  looks pretty good. You guys sure did a good job. Are you
going to recycle the left over metal?

Sounds like you didn't have to do much for your first Sunday as a
teacher. I don't think I know how to play 9 square game. Which naval ship did grandpa and Grandma was on. I was on one in San Diego. It was the USS Maine I believe. It
was pretty sweet. Yeah grandpa probably should be driving. That's a
good idea.

Yeah I have heard that school is almost over. What colors are you
going to paint the house? That's nice that Jill I'll help with that.
Only beans your cannin? Yeah in August it will be a year since I will be out. We are getting quite a
bit of rain. I like it, but that means it's gonna be pretty humid
probably. There are some mosquitos. That's good that it's been a cool
weather in Arizona.

1: Elder Smiths mom doesn't have a Facebook. His dad does though. You can
friend Richard Smith.
2: For the Scarfes we have also been working on the ceiling of his
garage. That's where elder Gibbons hurt his foot.
3: Not really and we don't have any rackets to play tennis. If there were there's
nobody here worthy enough to play me. I would just beat them every
time!
