Momma!

Elder and Sister Shaw:
My Mission Office Homies

I feel like these last two weeks I've worked my badoober off! I'm feeling great! We have a member that we went with yesterday to invite his sister and her two children to take the lessons and those should be under way this weekend. Also, we have a part member family that we are going to start teaching on Sunday and tonight we are going to meet another member referral at family home evening!  

Members here are great.

I took the Mission President's challenge to be at studies by 8 am, fully dressed, no distractions (i.e.: laundry, breakfast, etc). It has made for me a world of difference. I never realized how being 3 minutes late could affect my whole day and outlook.

Things are getting under way in this area and I'm stoked!

Gotta make exercise fun!

Lesson learned

We had a great week and by the grace and mercy of the Man upstairs we found a lot of good folks.  It's about time.  We have been really struggling with that.

We are emailing at a member's business; an auto repair shop.

He just walked into where we were and said, "Elders, you ready?"

We asked, "For what?"

And he just responded with, "Follow me."

So we followed him into the garage where he took us to a car up on a lift. The worker was trying to drill a hole into the frame and he told the worker to step aside. He handed me the drill and told me where to start-- I got nowhere. He had my companion take a shot with the same result. This member took the drill from my companion, looked at us and said, "This is the kind of crap you'll have to do if you don't get into school as soon as you get home."

Lesson learned.

I'll write better next week.

Love you more!

Bubba!
