September 15, 2010


Hey there fam!
what's up? sounds like a lot! i'm glad that everyone seems to be learning a lot! that's great. mom i thought it was hilarious that you said you "ducked out" of choir. you crazy kids :)
well things are going the same here. we've been trying to find the elect but they're well hidden! haha sometimes things are difficult, but my companion and i have been able to keep up our attitudes and press forward. we found a part member family that has a lot of potential! i think i mentioned them last week. they say that they have a desire to come back to church and hopefully they will progress and we can get the father and son baptized. we also found a really great guy while tracting and we'll meet with him again on sunday. he said that he likes to read and that he would begin the Book of Mormon. hopefully he fulfills his commitments and feels the Spirit while reading!
my companion and i went with a several missionaries to the chicago aquarium! it was incredible to see all sorts of fish and seacreatures! they were amazing. i've never seen a real seahorse before! haha it really was fun! there were some HUGE fish. it made me kinda scared because i would never want to swim in a lake or in the ocean with animals that size.... big as me.... we then went with the Assistants to the President to the (what used to be called) the Sears tower. we were in one of the tallest buildings, 103 stories up! it was an incredible view of the city all around. so so cool. and they have a small part that sticks OUT of the building, made of thick glass, even the floor! so you can step out onto it and look straight down to the street. right under your feet. it was intense! one of the AP's and i hopped from the building part onto the glass and it looks like you are about to fall 103 stories! wow. it was a fun experience and i enjoyed spending time with the ap's because one of them, elder Bateman, is going home at the end of the transfer and i'm gonna miss him. he's a great missionary. 
well family, i read a quote about the importance of studing and applying the words of conference the entire 6 months until the following conference. i was good about it right when the conference ensign came out, but i haven't looked at it in a few months, so i started to again. and i highly suggest it! i love it. and there were some things that i had already forgotten! these are the words of OUR prophets today. and we should be so greatful and anxious to have them. i really enjoyed the one by Ballard about the power of the priesthood. let me know what ones you all like.
i love you all and thank you for your love and support. i hope all is well!
