May 25th, Letter

Suup!

Ok so i honestly can't remember a lot of what we did this past week. And i did a really bad job of writing down what we actually ended up doing everyday. So this will just be everything that i remember or was somewhat important.

so the first part of the week, we had lots to do in the office. We did a lot of stuff with the Assistants - Elder C and L. We have spent a lot of time with them lately. Which is awesome cause i love them. Idk if i told you but Elder L also came out with my group. We also dont have a ton of stuff going on in the YSA right now as far as appointments and investigators. Well at least earlier in the week. So we did attend the YSA for the first time last sunday. It was pretty good, very different then what im used to . It's gonna take some time for it to feel normal. One cool thing is that there is a guy from my high school in my ward! His name is Kevin F. He was a SR. when i was a sophomore. He actually lives right by Celeste L and was in her Snow College ward back home. He is out here working for Vivint for the summer. So that was cool to see him and talk to him.

So us and the Assistants have decided not to split the area and to just share investigators etc. So they have this really awesome Investigator - Amanda. She is sooo cool and super solid. She is going to get baptized pretty soon she is deciding on a date. She just asked Elder C to baptize her. Its gonna be really cool. So i guess the college students do a lot of the work for us and just bring their friends and stuff which is good cause we really dont have a lot of time to do "finding".

We did have a member referral for a new investigator. We had an appointment with her for last night but it ended up not working out. Which stunk cause we had to go pick up a member in west philly then drive like 40 mins to the appointment. (cause we cover the whole stake) And we showed up and the member said she couldnt get her friend to answer or door/wake up. So then we just had to drive back. But slowly things should pick up. We are talking in church tomorrow with the AP's. In ward council last week they said they usually have the missionaries speak on Memorial day weekend cause no one is usually there. Oh thanks.... But its true almost no one will be there i guess. They are all at the beach or visiting family etc. Umm Yesterday was Mission Leadership Council. We did a little training/presentation as usual. I talked/showed some of the new changes i made to our google docs and the way we report numbers. I have a pretty good system going and im always improving it. And not to sound stuck up but the Zone Leaders love me hah. I make things a lot easier for them.   I'm starting to put the Schaeferemeyer's and office couples Gift books together. Im also working on a couple other things. We have Zone Conf the week of June 10th so ive gotta have everything ready by then to present at those meetings.

Oh the church's financial system came back up after getting its back up date. So now i have a huge pile of bill's and reimbursements to pay. Alot!

 Sam Norton emailed me today. He just got put in the mission office a couple days ago in his mission (Spain) He is the financial secretary just like me, thats kind of cool!

Throughout the week we have been helping the Elders and Sisters in Broomall transition to teaching some of our old investigators etc. So we have gone with them to see a few people. All the people we had baptism dates with dont have them now. But hopefully they will eventually be able to have dates again once things get back up and going.

Tomorrow us and the AP's are going to a Catholic Mass with Amanda, she wanted to show us what it was like. So that will be cool ive never been to mass before!

Monday we are going to Broomall Wards memorial day breakfast with the other missionaries. Then that night us the AP's and all the Senior Couples in the mission are having a dinner/fireside at the mission home and the Schaefermeyers will be talking about their mission. So that will be awesome! We have 3 Golden re-trainings this week! The new Office couple the Smuins who are replacing the Houses come in this week! So they will have about a month to learn everything.

Well i think that's mostly everything. Freddy (Robert Fredrickson) told me he is coming back out here to visit on June 21st! So i will get to see him! that will be awesome.

K ill talk to you later. Hope Mom and Kylee had a good time in NYC!

Chow,
