YOLLO!‏

Zatada!

Hey all! Man this last week has been so rough.. biking is not the greatest thing in the world, but whatever, as long as we can find some people to baptize and work our hardest I'm happy! Columbia.. man the weather has been a joke the last few days.. whew.. on Saturday we biked the entire day, up and down hills in rain that started from 11 in the morning till 9 at night.. of course I totally got drenched and frozen, but whatever! Well I am enjoying the area but biking really takes a little bit away from the goodness of it in my mind.. I just feel sometimes that we could be much more effective in a car. We are working hard with an investigator right now named Ervin, hes a good guy and pretty humble, just needs to give up things that are holding him back but hopefully he will be getting baptized on the 18th, and if not, we are going to put Shantel on date for the 18th. She is a way cool and intelligent 16 year old who actually listened to our first and second lesson and really understood it too.. Man it is such an awesome tender mercy, and blessing to find people to teach who actually accept the Book of Mormon for what it really is.. It is so simple. More scripture from ancient prophets who lived in America.. the end.. But not the end because of course if it is a true record then Joseph Smith was indeed a true prophet, and if that was the case, then the Church we represent is truly Christ church once again restored to the Earth before the second coming just like the Book of Acts says (Acts 2 I believe). No the Book of Mormon was not written by Joseph Smith.. No it is not a history of the "Mormon" Church.. and No its not a different interpretation of the bible at all.. Just more ancient Scripture from the Lord Jesus Christ, to testify and prove that he has actually brought his church back today! Simple. I just want people to know we don't teach anything weird or crazy. All people have to do to find out is simply pray about it.. Man I love how simple and harmonious the Gospel of Jesus Christ is! Anyway.. Columbia.. Cool place, a thousand times different than Sumter that's for sure.. I don't hear sirens as often or possible gunshots. The ward is cool. The Bishop is the head guy for recruiting in the Army.. cool huh! I mean he is the guy at the very top of the Army that is in charge of army recruiting.. Bishop Comish is his name.. maybe i spell that right.. umm what else... Oh obviously i got a library card this time.. a different and nice lady helped out this time and didn't even ask about the 3 month thing. Mom thank you so much for the recipes!! I love it! We are moving to a new apartment across the street on Wednesday.. that will be nice.. we have a SUPER SMALL apartment.. umm.. dang i don't know what else to write about.. oh! We found some "investigators" who want us to join their church.. heh.. its funny, they are good people but very confusing and kinda deceiving.. anyway we went to their church last Sunday at like 6pm and it was.. different, the music was way cool, but I did not feel the spirit there at all... It was just like a big classroom where some guy just talks out of the bible.. But that was a neat experience.. Ill have to try and get a picture of the church.. umm.. i best get going the other elders are all done.. I love the work, my companion elder McRae says some really nice things about me and how i teach, so that's cool.. makes me feel good.. Oh I need to say sorry about the money situation.. I am no long going to take my credit card with me.. or actually I just wont use it unless it is an absolute emergency.. I'm sorry about that.. Well I hope everyone is doing way good.. I really cant write normal letters to anyone.. there's just no time.. so if i haven't written anyone yet (by the way for those of you who don't know.. we basically have "p-hours" its not really a bad thing but really only about 3 hours on p-day do we have to write letters and just "relax") we have time for emails and groceries then we can rest for a bit but then its right back to work! So that's why i try to do things so fast.. and why i get stressed..! Email me if you want a reply its the best way.. so Jess sorry I haven't written you back but i got your letters! Thanks! anyway! Love you all! be good missionaries.. if you feel like you could be a better member missionary its really simple.. all you have to do is meet with the missionaries and unload on them.. they will take up all the slack becuase we love to get members involved.. president hinkcly said something about member work.. it is a better way for missionary work.. so TALK to the missionaries!! they will do all the work you just give them names and ideas and ask them questions! do it! they will love you forever for it! baptisms come quite often from members rather than tracting.. that's why bryces mission is so awesome, members everywhere who give the missionaries work to do!! anyway love yaaa!!! have ot go!!! write me!

by the way "it means driftwood"!
