C Falls Transfer Three Week Two

This week was really exciting. We set a baptismal date with Jennifer Burgess (She was the member referral family) for October and her whole family came to church this week. We have been trying to be able to sit down and teach the husband as well but havent been able to yet. Hopefully his attendance at church will open him up to us a little more. I am really excited for them. They have truly been prepared by the Lord to hear His gospel. I absolutely love this area and the people we meet here. Lately I have had alot of time to study the Book of Mormon and I truly love this book. I am so thankful for all those who sacrificed so much so that we could have it. Thank you all for your letters and especially nana and papa for the orange rolls. i was so excited to get them. theyre almost gone already. 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

C Falls Week Six

hey everyone! thank you all so much for the letters this week. i miss you all a ton. so i got a new companion and guess who it is?!?! elder coleman! hes the one from georgia that was in my mtc district. so its been fun. we get along really well are good friends. elder koford is going home on thursday. im gonna miss him alot. ill probably be with e coleman till he goes home in october which will be weird. its been really hot lately. the hottest its been since ive been here. like ninety five with ninety percent humidity. its disgusting when your white shirt turns completely see through from sweat. luckily we have a washer and dryer so we change clothes and do the wash alot. not too much has happened this last week. weve been visiting a couple less actives and havent been able to see mary beth. im getting a little more used to the area but all i did before was try to keep up with e wright so e coleman and i get a little lost but it makes for an adventure. anyways im not sure what else to say but thank you all for the letters. i love you
