Hey Hey Hey family,
Wow another week has come and gone again! Things are working out great with my new companion so far. He is good and is not a slob like my last one. You should see our apartment and car! Its sa clean and such!
Well when you come up again tell me and i guess i could get permission from the mission president to go to lunch with you! I would have to ask him and double check. Also when your here drop off anything at the office instead of paying to ship it.
Well i have bad news! My scriptures fell apart already! The quad i have had from when i was baptized. The binding is all messed up and the pleather ripped away from the glue. So i just got back from the Distrubtion store from Temple Square and i just spent the last of all my money for the month on a new set! I got a triple combo and bible. These are nice leather ones colored blue. They cost $75.00! But they should also last for the rest of my mission i hope! You would not mind re embursing me for those so your Elder can buy food and survive for the rest of the month?! I have already lost about 7 lbs. So im out of my monthly money already and today is only the 6th! But i knew i could not go without some scriptures thats fo sure!
Well yesterday was our zone conferance. We had lessons from our two AP's and the president. They talked about using members and how the BOM can answer any question that someone has. Even if it is an Anti Mormon question. That was good training because i have been running into lots of antis trying to trick us and prove us wrong. I dont even waist my time on them though. But that was just good training.
Tomorrow we have a mission tour and a fireside tomorrow night. Elder Christenson of the 70 will be touring our mission. That will last till one and then back to work. Then we have a fireside with him at 7. So that will be real fun. I have met lots of members of the 70 just at church and about.
Well we get to attend one of the Temple Dedacations but we dont get to go to the temple and watch it in person. That kinda sticks though huh! Were so close but we cant even go. Oh well. They dont have church on the 23 in all of Utah! Everyone is supposted to go to the dedacation.
Well about all we have right now as far as investagators goes is one guy called Dennis. He was supposted to have his baptism interview yesterday at 5 PM but never showed up. At 6 we found out that our font was going to be closed for six weeks because of a flood in the basement. And then at 8 we found Dennis and he said he was done with learning about the church. So last night was not one of my best. We are still going to work with him through someone else. That does not sound like him. Everything was still good on Tue! Something happended or came up and he changed his mind. We are just keeping him in our prayers for the time being and hoping he will come through.
Well I am going to get my pictures onto a DVD and mail them home so you can see them and get started on that scrapbook! Well i am going to get started on burning that DVD for yall! Lots of love and keep in touch EVERYONE!!!

Dear Scott,
Well, how was your week? Ours has been going fine. Seems to be going by really fast these days. I did get a fun picture on my e-mail from Sis. Erickson!! Cute picture of you and her at the parade. That was fun to see! You look great, and Dad really liked your "nerd" pockets with pens and missionary book in it! :) You need to send more pictures!!!
You will be glad to know there is another package in the mail for you. You just have to wait and be surprised on this one I guess! he he he
This week has been all about getting a lot of stuff done around the house. Dad had a tree company come and grind the stump down in the front yard. It looks so bare out there. This fall we will plant a new tree, but for now, we will have to just have it look ugly. It is way too hot to plant one yet. This week we are in the triple digits again. Whewww, I will be glad for fall time. ::<}
We are slowly changing all the door knobs in the house. Dad has just about got the downstairs finished up. Dad had jury duty today, and I worked at the hospital, so that was our fun day!
Michael took Jeff and Mark our on the boat, and Jeff went to his police explorers meeting tonight. He is having a rewards luncheon next Monday, and he will present the chief of police with his trophy from the competition. Did I tell you this already? I lose track of what I have written.
My dumb computer is acting up, the hard drive is quitting on me, so we need to fix that ASAP!! I hope I don't lose everything I have saved on it.
Oh my, that would be terrible.
Angie is flying up to NYC this week. She and Ryan are going to the big apple. She sure gets around with those free flights and they have so much fun. I see a wedding in the future! :) She is doing well, and is getting excited to be back teaching in a couple of weeks.
Your cousin Melanie is getting married on Aug. 11th. I will go up for the reception and spend some time with G&GG. If you are a good boy, I might send you a little especial from Logan again!! Everyone always asks how you are doing, and I tell them you are doing so well, and how proud we are of you. We love hearing all about your mission!!!
Well, tomorrow, I am going to Hawaiian Falls, and meeting all the grandkids there. I will try and take some pictures to send to you if my computer quits being gay.
I am now in 3rd Nephi in my BOM reading. I am learning so much, and trying to apply it in my life. I really love the reading.
Also, I have been doing a lot of sewing. Made a little quilt, some pillow cases, and a little hooded towel. Just trying to stay busy!
In my spare time, I am still working on the stake nativity. Ryan is going to make all the outdoor nativity pieces for us, with a little shelter and manger. I got all the wood from Bro. Nagle, and got all the supplies for Ryan. He will make it up in Angie's garage, so that is even better. I think he will do a great job! Also, it's good to get him involved in a project for the stake...he flys a lot on the weekends, and it's hard for him to get to meetings. He is a great guy, and was good to take on that project for me. The nativity is sure a lot of work, but I hope it will be a good missionary tool, and let other community members, and other church groups come in our building. I bet in SLC you will have them going on too.
Do you get to go to the Oquirrh Mountain temple open house? What do you study in your personal study time? How are your investigators?
Well, that is all for this week. I work again on Thursday, and then that is it for the month. I do think I will work a shift or 2 at Lewisville medical center, they called and asked if I wanted to pick up some shifts at that hospital, so I may consider that. Might be fun to see how things are done at a different place.
Love you lots and lots, we pray for you everyday, and know you are doing a good job serving the people in SLC.
Love, hugs, and kisses, XOXOXO
