Beside the Beach even if the cops are there to
Aliright so round three in the Kaibab area and with a new twist I'm
going to be by the Beach. Elder Beach that is. He is from Atlanta
Georgia but was born in Cali. So far we get along real well. That is a
really good thing to cause this area is getting tougher and tougher.
This place slows down lots in the winter and every door in our area
has been knocked... Question is what do you do when this happens?
Answer is you enlist the help of the members. That is what Elder
Beach, Elder Ware, Elder Harlan, And I are all going to do together.
When we run inot a block like this it maenas it's time to get
creative. Firesides, teaching sundays lessons, Asking members for
refferals are going to be all part of the game and pretty much
anything else we can think of. I'm excited though if there is anyone
who can make this work its all of us Kanab missionaries. Pray for our
success please! We are due for some miracles.
Elder Beach has been out just about as long as I have just barely
less. He is 23 and a really good teacher. Lots more then he gives
himself credit for anyways. He likes Star wars and apparently that is
all I need to get along with someone haha.
I decided to do a small prank to him the other day. We sometimes eat
at the Brother Cutchens house and he just so happens to be a highway
patrol police officer. I called him While Elder Beach was in the
bathroom and I asked if there was anything he could do to mess with my
new companion. Long story short we got pulled over a littler before
dinner and I got placed in cuffs and in the back of the squad car. All
for reckless driving and somewhat being lippy with the kind officer.
Elder Beach was awesome though. He said that if I was going to jail he
was coming to cause he was my comp and couldn't be seperated. I was
impresed and happy to know if this was a real situation and I wasn't
pranking hime he would totally have my back. What a friend eh!? It
ended with the officer driving us to the judges house and and then
finally spilling the beans! Elder Beach didn't know I set it up but it
was so funny when he found out. He was a way good sport about it.
This will be a good transfer!

You Stay Put
Hi,
Well it finally happened I get to stay! First time being in an area longer then three months it's pretty nice that I don't have to pack. Elder Chadsey is going and I'm getting Elder Beach. That is about all I know.
This week was good. The Clarks came and saw me which was awesome. They don't live to far so they came to visit. It is always nice to see them they are a second family to me. Sean their oldest came to. He is sort of girl crazy but to his credit he is 18. He seemed way to into the idea of more then one girl at a time. We all laughed. Anyways so nice to see all of them!
We rang in the new year with Elder Harlan and Elder Ware. For us three 2012 is going to be a huge deal. We all come home this year. Crazy eh?
I might be moving out of the Cane Beds though. President wants to move us to either Fredonia or Kanab. Either is okay though.
That was my week. We are praying for new people to teach. Our ward mission leaders are pretty awesome and we have started to really work together and make things happen.
