4 months... yes i had to count

Hi!

First of holy crap!!! It's been 4 months already how did that happen? I guess that means i only have to reach 4 months 5 more times. that's really not a whole lot of time... better not waste it.

Alright this week had some ups and downs. I'll start with the downs

Number 1 downer We found to kids to start teaching Sky and Ty they are 11 and 12 years old. They were super awesome and they wanted to get Baptized. We were so excited cause they are pretty cool kids. Sounds good so far but here is where it kind of goes downhill. They're parents are divorced. The mom lives here in wayne county and the father lives in St George. They go to they're Dad's every weekend and they wanted him to baptize them. The mom called and asked him if he would do that. The problem is he said they've already been baptized. The mom had no idea and the dad made the kids promise not to tell. Sky and Ty have already been baptized and it really hurt the mom that she wasn't there. That was super frustrating.

Number 2 downer. We talked to our mission president and Cal cannot get baptized for a few months... I was ready to cry cause we'll be gone and i love that family so much. He is okay though he still has his testimony and he says he can wait. He took it really well and Cal is amazing.

Number 3 downer. The last pictures Mom sent... those t shirts are going to follow me around till the end of time!!!

Okay but there is always some positives. One of the biggest is just how much i love this area. the work a lot of times is slow but we have some pretty awesome people to teach. The members are pretty great to. Elder Lora and me started taking piano lessons and that has been fun so far. We can read music and are getting not to bad at piano. I was wondering if Mom or Dad could send me my old learn piano book and the flashcards. that would help a ton.

Being out here though this past for months my testimony has grow so much. This work is so important i'm so grateful to be part of it.

Elder Ian Dyer

This is what he means about those shirts following him around. A woman he worked with made them with the help of Mom sending her pictures of Ian growing up. The pictures were put on shirts, and now they show up at random times much to Ian's dismay. You will also notice what Mom and Dad call "Little Ian". The Elders that live in my parents basement made Little Ian for them for Christmas. They like him a lot, and has been to every family member's home.
