E-Mail 3-14-2011

Hello there, how are you all doing? looks white there! haha, that is for sure the oppisite of where i am at right now! this week things sure have turned a 180! it has been breaking 90's everyday and for some stupid reason it keeps getting warmer! crazy. WOW, the cabinets look amazing! the counter tops look so good withthe paint color and the wood stain! look so good! hope it all went smoothly getting them in! :) that email yousent me about that elk was crazy, i cant believe that it kept living, i am sure he wanted to just die, that would be so misrable! haha


Well there hasnt been too much new happening here this past week but we have been running around like crazy!

this whole week has been Leadership Training Meetings and so that has filled up my whole week, this time i went and elder paiz stayed and went on exchages with other elders in the zone. the meeting were Tues-Fri, 8-4... long days! but they were really good, probley the best session i have been to! president ellsworth is so awesome. he is a amazing person and they have a wonderful family! i look up to and love them so much. so this session of meetings it was all of the elders and sisters that have not had the chance to go to them yet so there was a lot of newer missionaries there. there was 80 missionaries there so quite a few. it was a great expirence to go and be a part of. it was way fun because when you go as a zone leader you actually get to partisapate in everything that is happening. i got to go up in frront of everyone and do a role play and teach. kinda nerve racking but way fun. i also got to conduct the meeting one day. it is so wonderful to have presidents trust! i am so thankful for him and all he does. but it is really scary some times how much he trusts us and unfortuantly some missionaries have abused that. sucks to see!?

had kind of a sad thing happen last week, a elder that i came out with that was in our zone, elder pierson, was playing soccer and i am not sure what happend but he messed up his knee real bad so he is going home for surgery! way heart breaking to see that happen to anyone!

i cannot believe at how fast time is flying by! March is already half over! elder paiz goes home in not too long, on the 5 th of April. he is still working hard but he sure is getting worked on. he says that he feels the end coming and wants to slow down and take it easy but he is still keepin up the good work and being obediant! :) so i hope i get another amazing companion! :) but ill deal with what ever!? :)

We had kinda crazy thing happen to us on saturday night. Matthew who has been baptised sence september wanted to go and watch the joseph smith movie with us at the visitors center so we picked him up and and took him there and on the drive there he was acting really wierd, aking weird quesions, not understanding what we were saying and we were having a hard time figuring our what he was saying too. he was just acting really wierd. so we didnt think too much of it. we went in and started the movie and about 10 mins into it he said he needed to go get a drink of water so he left. about 5 mins after he left me and elder paiz both had the immpression to go and check on him so we walked out and we couldnt find him! he had booked it. the sisters that were working at the front desk said that he came out really mad and then ran out and down the road. we were so confused!? we drove around for about 30 mins looking for him and he doesnt have a phone so we couldnt call him. we couldnt find him any where and we had no idea what was going on?! we get a phone call from him the next morning and he just talked to us like nothing had happened and then just as fast he got mad agian and started yelling at us over the phone then hung up!? so we have no idea what is going on but some thing mental there, either that or a whole lot of weed...which is a good possibility! so we'll see how it all pans out! just really wierd. so moral of the story...dont do drugs! haha :) on a better note,.

Sara Grahm got interviewed on saturday and is good to go for this friday! we are so excited for her and nathan! they will be getting married on saturday and they moved the wedding from where she was going to have it to the stake center here so me and elder paiz can go to it! :) so excited for them! wonderful people and they will do great! they both have been so prepared for this part in their lives!

Lee recieved a calling on sunday!! we were kinda shocked that they did so soon but she is soo solid and out going it is just what she needs. they put her on the Relief Socity commitee! she was so excited and it is great to see her progressing so good! she is an amaizng individual!

I sure hope that you got my package that i sent to ya and you have enjoyed the pics and everything that was in there! :) i have been wondering if it got there yet!? I am sure you all are really busy there and there is alot stuff keeping you busy! so no worries. but drop me a letter and let me know what all is going on there! :)

I hope that your happy and well! i pray for you always and know that we are both being blessed so much! keep strong and use the tools that God has given us to help us stay strong, we need all the help we can get in this world full of confusion and kaos!(pretty crazy, the whole earth quake/tsunami thing happening in japan! really sad!) keep up the good work and keep in touch! i love and miss you all so much! hope you get some of our sun shine soon and things will be a little bit more enjoyable for ya there. before youknow it things will be greening up, mud dry and roads dusty and Bailey will be out of school! ;) keep it up and i'll talk to you soon! take care,

Love,

Elder Dalan Lerwill
