Well, it looks like another week of heat for all of us, except Angie. I hope you are doing ok with it. Are you using the car more because of the heat? How have your discussions been with Jason and his girlfriend. We have been praying for you and Elder Davey. How is he doing? I'm sure you are doing a great job with him.
Grandma and GrandpaTiner received your letter and said to tell you that it made their week. They are very proud of you and are always praying for you, too.
We have had a busy week. The tenants in the townhome moved out-with Dad and 6 other boys' help. We sold it to a nice couple from Cody. YEAH!! I'm glad to be out of the townhome association. The Crist house is still for sale.
We are taking the camper for a maiden voyage this weekend. We are going to Eastern Montana and North Dakota to check out the oild boom madness. It should be fun. We have had so many fires in Montana that they have banned personal fire works this year. That's ok- it wouldnt be near as fun with just Dad and I :)
We have a new sister missionary in our ward. She's from Idaho Falls and she used to date Jake Tall (Mark and Wendy's boy). She is very cute. It was her first Sunday out. We will have them over for dinner and maybe invite your buddies. Maybe Ben will listen to her :) We are praying for missionary opportunities.
Billings News: Catherine Lewis is getting married in a couple weeks. Levi Selfridge is married and going to be a dad.
Well, keep smiling and work hard. We are all thinking about you and all efforts!
I love you!
Mom
Hey,
on his theories about the book of revelations and pre flood earth.
Interesting.
UFOs, pure gold and all that...you know.
Yes it was a nice hot week. We did have a pretty serious storm on sunday,
but it blew through pretty quick. Literally every person I talk to has something to say
about the weather and how this is the weirdest year they have ever seen.
Times are changing! We have been using the car alot because Elder Davey was
waiting for his parents to send his helmet.Elder Davey struggled alot this week,
but improved alot as well. One day he was especially discouraged, and being for
lack of a better term, a real butt nug. Before my mission and lessons in patience it
would have been tough to keep my head cool. Being blessed with that I was able to
remember that he likes singing hymns, so for companion study we just sang hymns while
he worked through some tears. He let me give him a blessing. I gave him a hug and made
sure he knew I loved him. It was a good moment.
This all sounds like a dumb movie some returned missionaries made huh?
I hope things will improve for him. You can bring the horse to water, but you can't make it drink though. He is making friends with the Elders in the district though so thats a huge improvement.
WOW..who is Cathrine marrying?...weird to even write that.
Also I hope your trip goes well! haha!! Maiden Voyage.
I wanted to write gma and gpa tall back as well, but they didn't put their address on their letter.
As for the work. It is picking up here. We couldn't meet with jason this week, but we will be tomorrow.
He is not as zealous about coming to church, so I am just praying for a miracle and studying hard for him.
We want to set a date with him tomorrow if the spirit directs.
We have an appointment tonight with another couple like Jason and Pheobe,
only they are married and she is less active. Their names are the Tylers. He is halfrican and he has a problem with the preisthood being delayed for all male members thing.
I will be telling him in a nice way that he has his face up against one tree, and he is never going to see any of the other beautiful trees in the forest if he doesn't back up and set the problem tree aside.
We met with Agusta too, and we just reviewed some things,
and talked about her experience with Elder Perry.
I know last week I asked you guys to pray for new investigators.
Surprise! prayer maintains its 100% answer rating for righteous requests!
We were referred to the neighbors of a new couple to the ward.
We were seeking shelter from the storm on Sunday, which brought us to this couple's house(Larsons),
who sent us next door to another couple(Batashawns), who promptly let us in, listened, and even took notes. Next Sunday we will be having dinner with both couples and teaching the Plan of Slavation!
The new investigators are called the Batashawns. They are awesome.
Please pray for this appointment to stay solid.
Ben will always listen to cute girls!!! Just tell him he will be taking to discussions again,
but this time from a cute girl.
Oh and offer him stroganoff...however you spell that. He can't resist.
Love you guys! I appreciate the love, support, and prayers.
Elder Tall
