Well hows it going?
This weekend went really well. I liked the conference a lot had a
good time watching it. There were some really good talkes and i did
liek that one bout parenting he is sooo right. Im rather jealous that
jordan went to the conference that wuold be really neat.
Im doing really good here. I havent been sick or anyhting for a while
(jinx). I am pretty bored of the beans and rice but oh well gotta
live with it for one more year. Tell ryan that im proud of his
progress in scouts and that he should be very thankful becuase here
they dont have it.
Right now we are actually teaching a lot of new people. Weve put
aside a few of the people that just werent progressing and we have
found some new families to teach. OUr new presidente is reallly
really focused in families. We try to teach at least 3 families a day
and we try to find various throughout the day. As a leader im trying
to make the zone understand that we really shouldnt be baptizing
anything other than familias and of course the people that are single
but truely repentant and prepared. Its a great experience teaching
and helping al these missionaries.
Ive only got a year but im one of the old people in the mission.
Everyone is really new and green still. For that reason i hvae tobe a
good leader and help them as much as possible.
Today was great. WE palyed volleyball for a little while. I was
thinking a lot about vball and my buddies like alex.
Well i g2g. Not much time when you have to report lots of numbers and
everything.
I lvoe you all soooo much.
Love jonnie

Hey hey mom!!! i hope all is going reallly well up there. Right now
we are doing well here. Thanks for your prayers for eda i think it
helped out becuase shes getting baptized this Saturday!! it was really
good experience becuase wen we passed by her house on sunday morning
she wasnt there and no one answered the door. I was a bit bummmed out
but then i called her at 930 to remind her and she said she was going
to go. aWe waited at 10 and she didnt arrive. We waited and waited
and i just keept hoping. We had the sacrament and i almost gave up
when she walked in with her daughter after the sacrament and i got way
happy. She stayed for the 3 hours (missed 30 of the RF becuase she
left becuase of the cough that she had haha) but she liked it alot.
We went to visit her later at night and she said it was good and liked
it and then she told us that she wants to get baptized on saturday!!!
Well just to let you know we do get the conference at the same time on
the same day. Its from satelite and the chapels here have satelite.

Hey hey!
Thanks for the birthday congrats,, I did have a really good birhtday. Everyone was giving me presents and i wasnt even expecting it! haha Some missionaries gave me ties and members gave me hankercheifs and random stuff. All of the members in the little section where we live bought me a cake and craked and egg over my head(its a tradition here). . Glad to know you ate a cake in my honor ;()
Wow so grandpas doing not so well? aw i sure hope it was just a one day thing. Wow its crazy how fragile life is. I never really thought about it that much until now taht Grandpa has had some troubles . Hope is ok.
Too bad karen isnt answering your calls. MAybe theres some other reason behind it but just keep trying to be a great friend and example to her.
WEll everthing is going really well here. WE were able to get 100% retention of the recent converts this month 16 out of 16 have gone at least 1 time to church. Thats pretty exciting. WE also had 7 investigators but werent the ones that we were expecting ahah..
Weve found a few more families to work with and hope that they will really understand this message and begin to visit and prepare to be baptized. This weeekend 28th we are going to have an acitivity, The Titanic! its going to be based on the family relationships and how the parents especilally the fatheres have a big role in the lives of the children. Its going to be great but we are a bit worried about building the ship! we need wood lol..
Well jsut so you now im all healthy and all. We paly baasket ball and soccer everymorning to get some excersise but i havent lost the weight im looking for ( i weigh 152 pounds!) wow im getting way fat mom i have a big beer gut. ahha im gonna try to fix thatt.
Welll other tan that all is good. thanks for the letter and everything!
Love you all Take care and stay out of trouble!!!
