Well transfers again for the last time. I am staying here and going to finish with Elder Lifungula. YAY! Julius is now set for the 13th with his baptism. And they are still doing great.

We did a lot of service this week. I wish i had more to say but i dont. Sorry. My mind is blown and needs to refocus.

BTW do you have my travel arrangements?

Dear Family,

  This week has flown by super fast. Unfortunately a lot of things have fallen through but we have been finding a lot of potential investigators and getting to know the ward better. Julius and Cynthia are doing great still. Cynthia still hasn't made it out to church and has had some serious trials this week, but she has expressed her greater desire to focus on church. And she has such a super strong testimony of the Book of Mormon. The baptism is going to have to be pushed to the 13th of April, our entire ward leadership is going to be gone next weekend.... SO that sucks but we are looking forward to working things out. and who knows maybe the lord is preparing them so both can be baptized on the same day.  We had Zone Conference this week, my last one! Woah, there was a huge emphasis on stewardship and the blessings of being faithful, so that was kinda neat because it is something i have always felt strongly about. The lord definitely know the thoughts of our hearts. We got a new annoucement: WE CAN EMAIL WHOEVER WE WANT NOW! It is a church-wide policy change. POST MY EMAIL ON FACEBOOK PLEASE AND GIVE TO OTHERS!  [ scott.tyler@myldsmail.net ] I have been studying in 3 Nephi about when Christ comes to the Americas, and it really impresses me how tender he is. I don't remember where the scripture is but it says will ye not come unto me, that i may heal you? it really stuck out to me, im not sure why. But  I know he is always there with outstretched arms and i am so grateful for his atoning sacrifice. We also had exchanges on Friday that went well, We ran into this basher though, he wouldn't let us leave even when i tried to walk away, so i basically agreed that i was going to outer darkness, (haha kinda funny) I just gave up. It makes me sad when people do that and feel like because they have some knowledge of our beliefs, that they can tell us were wrong. He even told me that I need to go and read the bible and gain a REAL testimony of it, and it was sad because i have done so. Not ALL of it (i got stuck at isaiah,) but the majority of the old and new testament. I feel bad for those people and pray that they see Christ for who he really is. But anyway we still had a lot of fun that day. Saturday we spent the bulk of the day doing service which i loved. Helped tear out a jungle of super weeds. haha. Sunday we got the opportunity to teach  a girlfriend of a member in our ward (Briana) who has been coming for many weeks, She is awesome and has a lot of faith. She even went to seminary this Morning!  Elder Lifungula and I are doing great, he is an awesome missionary and he is helping me get into better shape so i am stoked. For once in my life i look forward to working out!

So thats the wrap.

Fwd: The Week

Well. Another week has flown by. I cannot even believe it... This week we spent the bulk of our time trying to work with the ward. Monday night we cut our pday short, (big sacrifice...)  to get to know the Bywater family in our ward. (semi Active) Have you ever heard of the company Bolthouse Farms? Well anyway they make all fruit juices and he gave us a ton of it! IT was awesome, tender mercy in my eyes. I love juice! haha Tuesday We had or district meeting and nothing super special. Set up appointments and tracked and went through the ward list. Wednesday we went over the Baptismal interview questions with Julius and Cynthia and taught about following the prophet. They both have a good testimony, especially of the Book of Mormon. Julius is freaking smart for an 8 year old, a little shy but he seems to retain everything we say, even when i think hes not listening! We have also come up with a new attack plan to work with everyone and to revitalize our effort with those we are teaching. In my experience it has helped me not get burned out of areas. We have a new ward Missionary, Brother Murchison who is an absolute stud. He is like a freakin walking library. He knows so much stuff. It was kinda funny though because we had him for dinner on Friday and when we offered our service (like always) he mentioned he needed help fixing his couched and asked if  we were mechanically inclined, because he apparently wasn't. So Saturday morning we got to help him out with that. 

SO yah, pretty good week. Trying to stay focused calm happy and hard working. 

Got a hold of Thomson, No go, he ended up at a different university. Weber state.

I think the best thing to do for mason is to have him pray about it. I don't think i can convince him either way. Maybe if they come with me back to California he will see the blessings of a mission, but i am not a man of strong words i have found.

Dear Family,

Well this week was lame, i got a cold and have been trying to fight through it and still get work done. I love my companion Elder Lifungula hes awesome and fun to be around. We taught Julius and Cynthia about the Commandments this week and so Julius should be all set! Cynthia still hasnt come to church! NO! but at least they are reading and praying. So they are progressing Were stoked. We didnt get a chance to see Lyndell or Kim Hankins. Almost finished with the BoM again I am in 3 Nephi. Still studying PMG and all that jazz. It just hit me yesterday how close i am, I had a dream the other night of being released and it made me really sad. I really love being a missionary and having the time available to dedicate to serving god and his children. Learning and growing physically and spiritually and helping others change their lives. I am going to miss it. A lot more than i thought i would. And even though it has been a struggle and i have been angry at some stuff, I have definitely seen the blessings i have reaped. And the friendships i have made. I just am going to keep on doing what i do and try to continue to appreciate what i have taken for granted.

Yes i do want to stay in an apartment. I might want to stay with Nathan Thomson, a past missionary companion of mine. But that will all hinge on if i have a car, I really want to have one when i go back up there. I will get started on those essays.
