hey everyone!
this last week was definately alot different that what im used to! well to start off though i am now serving in the issaquah 1st ward, they had a mix up at transfers and put us in the wrong ward. but we got a call from the ap's the next morning and they told us about the mix up and switched us back to the wright ward. it was pretty sad though because tigert mountain was a car area, so i had a car for half of a day! but now im back on bike again... and three quarters of my ward lives on the side of a mountain!
my new area is half on a mountain and half in the valey so the riding is pretty tough! this is the first time this area had been on a bike. but it only takes us about 20 to 25 minutes to get to the top of the mountain to go tract up there so its not horrible. this area is so different though, i never thought i would miss the ghetto but i do! my new area is pretty wealthy and missionary work is totally different here! but its going to be great though!
we do have natalie and josh on date for this up coming weekend though! they are great natalie is the mom and josh is her 9 year old son. i did just walk into these to baptism but im just so glad i got to teach them too. they are a great family and the chruch has changed them so much. im really excited for their baptism this week end.
it was a beautiful weekend here too! it was sunny for 3 whole days!!!! i havent seen the sun like that in months! it was beautiful i have never been so excited to be sunburned in my life!! it was a great week end but now the rain is back and everything is back to normal, but it looks like spring is on its way finally.
oh thank you so much for the easter box! it was great i loved it and the new tie was awesome! i hope you guys had a good week in oregon and had a great easter! give the hankey bunny a good rub down for me!
love you

Tigert Mountain Week One
hey everyone!
today was trasnfers andi got transfered to the tigert mountain ward in issaquah! im serving with elder aiken, he is a great missionary im really excited that i get to serve here. its going to be alot different here though its like out in the mountains a bit so everything is far apart and everyone is hicks supposedly! its going to be alot different than my last ghetto fabulous area benson hill.
im going to miss benson hill though. it is pretty cool though my last comp e bonnett went zone leader and they made benson hill a zone leader area now so its pretty cool.
but this last saturday we had lileys baptism! it was great, she loved it and i did too. she was so happy. i love the happieness that the gospel brings to peoples lives. i had the opportunity to confirm her on sunday it was great but kinda scary! i loved the opportunity though, it was a great experience. the baptism was definately a great way to leave the area. im going to miss benson hill though we had 3 baptisms in the last 4 weeks!! it was a pretty crazy area. it was sad to leave cause that ward felt like home and i didnt really want to leave cause i love it. it is the best ward i have ever been in but its going to be nice to switch things up a bit. and being in a car area is going to be great!!
elder aiken is from sandy utah and he has only been out for like six months i think.
im excited for this next transfer though there is going to be alot of good stuff going on.
well i hope everyone has a good week!
love you

Benson Hill transfer Two Week Six
hey everyone!
well we have had a pretty good week here, its finally starting to warm up a bit which is great! we dont have to wear suit coats all the time either so its really nice! i love it but it stil rains alot so that hasnt changed.
this last saturday we baptized brittnay! it was great i had the opportunity to baptise her too which was even better! but it was a good service. i really enjoyed it they are a great family though, it was funny we were at their house the other day and they had a vitamix and they started making us drinks in it! it reminded me of home and all the drinks we used to make. it was fun though
oh and our investigator liley that we have been working with for a while now is finally getting baptized this up coming saturday! me and e bonnett are really excited and she is too. she loved the church but now we just have to try to teach her son now too!
oh this last week we got a crazy phone call! we got a call from the dectectives office from the renton police station! it was pretty crazy they found my old bike that was stolen! the person who took it pawned it and so it came up in their system at the pawn shop so they went and picked it up. so now i have my old bike back! but now the only problem is that i have 2 bikes, but now im just going to try to sell the one. but it was a crazy day when that happened.
next week is tranfers and im pretty sure im getting transfered so p day will be next tuesday and next week if there is any letters or anything just write them to the mission office address so ill still get them.
well everything is good here we stay busy which is great! but i hope everything is going good there
love you

Benson Hill Transfer Two Week Four
hey everyone!
i cant really believe another week has gone by already its been going by pretty fast but i guess thats a good thing! well afterlast week this week has seemed pretty slow but it was still a good week. one thing that we started this week that was pretty cool was we started a book of mormon study group for all of our female investigators and for the relief socitey. we are teaching a bunch of women so e bonnett thought it would be cool to do a study group for all of them so they could learn to read from the book of mormon and be fellowshipped from ladies in the ward at the same time. it actually worked out great and it was pretty cool. it is something that we are going to do every week from now on it should be good.
conference was great. i loved relaxing all day it was so nice but weird. i definately needed a break from riding that bike all day but it was weid watching conference as a missioary but it was great i loved it it was a great conference. i really liked bednars talk sunday afternon session it was good, but priesthood was different with out dad,papa and blake. and i definately missed the dessert after the session, but i guess tracting is just as good.
oh we should be baptizing one of our investigators this weekend. we should be batising brittnay im really excited for her. im ecxited because we tracted into her and taught her and then she asked me to baptise her! so im pretty excited i get to be here for everyhing. so if everything goes right it should be another good weekend but she is the kind of person that wouldnt show up to her own baptism so im winda worried about actuall getting her there! it will be good though. i think thats about all thats going on though. well i hope everyone has a great week there. give hank a good scratch for me!
love you
