CFalls Trans Two Week Three

hey everyone! things are going good here. finally starting to pick up a little. we have a few new investigators this week which is really exciting and we have a new family we are going to start teaching on tues! we were over at the grants house, theyre two boys are recent converts. theyre way cool and only twelve but theyve been bringing their friend who lives two houses down to church and hes only six but cj, one of the grants kids, went over and committed them to take the missionary lessons! so we went over with him the next day and set up a time to see them on tues. hes such an awesome kid and such an example to me. i wish every member was like him. we truly do have a gift and should want to share it with everyone . we went on exchanges with the zone leaders this week. i was with e thornton who just got released from being ap. we stayed here in the falls and had a pretty good time. im excited for it to be cooling down here in a few weeks hopefully. we had zone conference this week too which was good. it was a nice break to be able to sit inside all day. but im not sure what else to say bout this week really. just been tracting and tryin to find people. love you all.

Cfalls Trans Two Week One

aloha!! this week has been pretty good. i love elder coleman. we have so much fun workin together. hes an awesome guy. the weather has either been perfect and really cool out or burning hot. depends on the day. yesterday was the most stressful day of church ive ever had. every minute we were there we were busy running around setting up appointments and getting people rides and a whole bunch of stuff. it was good though. we got alot accomplished. mary beth is doing really well. she hasnt smoked for over a week now. shes working hard to get baptized. hopefully were going to take her to kirtland soon. so scary story, i was riding my bike on the sidewalk going the opposite direction of traffic and my bike lock was on my handlebars. suddenly it bounced up and locked up my handlebars somehow and made me steer off into traffic and i couldnt turn it back cuz it was stuck. scared me and e coleman to death. but i jumped off the bike in time and managed to save it too. so dont worry mom im alright. we have a mission conference coming up in september. its called zoned out and im gonna be playing guitar at it which im so excited for. ive always wanted to be a rockstar lol. its called zoned out and is just kinda a fun day for missionaries that they do every other year and have games and stuff. so im excited to play. but anyways. i feel like this week was really productive but im not sure what else to say. weve just been busy trying to get people to church and our efforts payed off on sunday. thank you so much for your letters and especially for the pictures mom. i love you all. give hank extra lovins for me
