July 30th Letter


Sup!                                                                                                                    30 July 2012

So, I'm doing good. Today is the 1st day of my 2nd transfer here in Milford, PA. Tomorrow I will get my 4th companion. I'm crossing my fingers that I get someone really cool,  I hope Kylee had a good birthday, I haven't heard about it yet. But from the pictures Dad sent me it looked like she was pretty excited. 
So last week I already told you about being sick, so I don't need to say a whole lot about that, but it was horrible, horrible, horrible. Not fun. So that was Monday, Tuesday I felt a ton better. I still didn't have a lot of energy but I wasn't throwing up all the time and all that other fun stuff. Tuesday, we went and mowed Trisha's lawn and did some yard work for Bruce, Then we worked on Trisha's website, which by the way if you want to see it: www.tcullenart.com.  Its a little rough right now and its not anything fancy. Then that night we went over and saw the House family. We went over there a lot this last week, because Elder McCrae is going home and they are pretty close. That was also pioneer day I think, so Happy Pioneer Day! Wednesday, We went with Brother House to teach his Mom. She isn't a member, and he was scared that she might not let us come over if he asked her. So we just showed up with him... haha. But it actually went well, and we have another appointment with her. Then we went over to Brother Hinkel's house to do some service for him. We trimmed some trees for him. Then that night we went over to Sis. Meintus' house for dinner, she had a non-member there for dinner so we got to answer lots of questions of what we do as missionaries etc. for her. Thursday- we had District Meeting, weekly planning etc. Then that night we went over to Bruce's House, and Trisha cooked her homemade lasagna for dinner. There was a crazy storm that night. The sky got super dark fast, and it started to rain soooo hard. We had to get out of our car to run into someone's house, and we had to book it from our car to their house or else we would of been soaked. Friday- we went over to Andy's house. He is a member who was baptized in the last year or something like that, but he got into some anti stuff for a while and stopped coming. But we've been meeting with him a little bit.  While I’ve been here, he has completely changed his opinion and has decided that the church is true etc. So now he's really into it. So were going over to start teaching him the lessons.  We taught him the first lesson and it went very well. I guess when he was baptized he wasn't taught by missionaries, so some of the stuff were teaching he hasn't heard before. That night we went over to the Hess's house for dinner. Then we saw the House family that night. Saturday- we didn't do whole lot. We were a little low on miles, so we decided to stay home for a little so that my companion could pack. Then we went and helped someone move a couch. Then went over to the House's for dinner. Sunday- Elder McCrae's last full day in this area, he spoke in Church. Later we went and visited the Siguine's, and then we spent the night with the House's and had dinner with them. 
So that was the week. Wow, so it’s August already! Jared you know what that means.... SCHOOL!! hehe. Also my 9 MONTH Mark is on Thursday. Crazy stuff! I’m Glad I went on a mission. I’ve learned soooooo much stuff and met a ton of cool people. I just started reading Jesus the Christ, which is going to take forever cause it's huge. 
Yeah so that’s about it I think.
I’m about to take this area over tomorrow... ahhhhhhhhhh. I’m going to be nervous and stressed! :) I don't know it super well.  When I go to church I still kind of feel like I don't know anyone. But it will be fine... I think ;) 
I'll let you know who my new companion is etc. when I find out. 
Also I’ll get to see Elder Cannon tomorrow at Transfers. We tried to work something out so that we could be companions for a day, because both of our companions are going home. So we both have temporary companions until tomorrow, but they assigned us to different people.  I think I’ll see him Thursday too because we have Zone Training.
Have a great week!! Hey take some good pictures of the Mountains for me, like calendar pic worthy. I miss the mountains and I need some pictures to show people out here, because they think these tiny "hills" are mountains haha.
