Called To Serve: Hi there!

Well week two down of training.... its been a good experience so far but I am going to have to say, I have never been so tired in my life until now!! ha ha it takes everything out of you physically, spiritually and mentally but its been a great time and we have had some good times already!

It looks like they had a great time at the temple this week as well, just wished I could have been there but i'm very grateful to see pictures and to hear about the experience they both looked really good, and hunter had a nice tie on. ha ha!!

This week was kinda weird, we didn't work in our area for 2 full day but we had a great week! Thursday we had district meeting and it was really good and after that we just stayed in St. Paul and did an exchange blitz with Elder Abbott and his companion Elder Meyer. I went with Elder Meyer, he is a good missionary....actually he is really good! We had a good time we had allot of miracles together, we met allot of new people for them! It's fun to work with different missionaries.

On Friday we went to the AP's area and did an exchange biltz and stayed the night there. I went with Elder Johnson, he is a great Elder, I have never worked around him before but we got along really well and it was a great experience. We had some fun times and we taught some cool people. We were teaching this African American guy he had a strong accent so I asked him where he was from and he was like I'm from Accra, Ghana! I was like, "ahh no way that's sweet my brother is going to be a missionary there!" he was pretty excited too and started talking about Ghana, he was really nice! I think Hunter will really like the People of Ghana!
But that was that experience...we had a really good time bonding with other missionaries!

This week we saw Yer a member of the branch open her mission call, it was really exciting! She is going to the Philippines and she is really excited. she is the only member of her family and her mom was mad at her and was kinda giving her a lecture about it....I felt really bad I tried to talked to her mom and help calm her and comfort her, but I just felt really bad and had such compassion for Yer and such respect for her as she has to deal with allot of opposition in her family. I just wished I could help more!!

We had a fun experience!!! We gave Johnny a hair cut....well Yer did and we supervised ha ha!!! Johnny is the young man me and my trainer found and was baptized last year. He is a really funny kid who wants to serve a mission.... he sat by me in sacrament meeting and was like "what do I need to do to be an Elder like you?" I told him "you need a hair cut man!" and he was determined to get one that day! So we gave him one after church it was really funny!!..
