11/24/08 e-mail

Dear Family-
So, not much is happening for Thanksgiving. We are going to a member's house at one, but besides that we are going to play monopoly with some other elders at the church, but we really aren't doing anything. I do have to give a talk in church next Sunday on missionary work so that will be easy. We got an inch of snow last week so that was really cool. Me and my new comp are getting along really well. Can I have ACP's address? I want to send them a letter. Well, how is everything going right now? Well, nothing is really going on here right now. Well, I love you guys and miss you. Daniel

Dear Family-
My new comp is Elder Norton. He is from New Mexico and he goes home in June, so I won't be killing him off. Why do we have 3 dogs? That is one too many. On Saturday we baptized Nate Fisher. I should be having at least one more baptism this month and at least two in December which will be really nice. I get to call you in almost a month which is crazy. When I talk to you I will have been out six month and I will just have 18 more to go. Well, my big coat broke, the zipper came off of it. It is going to snow this week so I need it. What I was thinking is that I will keep it and you go and talk to Doug and ask him to send me a new one and when I get the new one I will mail you the broken one to give to him. Does that sound okay? Let me know next week and let me know if that is what is going to happen. Well, you want to know what the high priests can do for missionary work. Well, I would say share the gospel with their friends, but all their friends are probably really old and stuck in their ways... just kidding. But, always go out with the missionaries as much as they can. The best thing is to have a member at every teaching appointment. Also, give the missionaries referrals and if the missionaries are following Preach My Gospel they will call you and let you know how it went when they went to see them. Also, on page 13 of Preach My Gospel there are quotes from the prophets. I like the one from George Albert Smith. I like to read this one to people when they don't do missionary work because its not just talking about going it is also talking about after. You should read that one to them it will get people motivated. Well, I love you and I miss you guys. Elder Wesley

11/3 & 10 e-mails

We were busy last week and did not get that e-mail posted, so here are segments from his last two e-mails:
11/03
I got the sweaters and they are a little too big. I will mail them back. Is mom glad to be home and happy to see everyone again? So how is Darcy doing? I got the shirt today that she sent me. That was nice of her. She said the she is going to start to go to school to be a nurse which will be nice. You can always have a job where ever you want. That was nice of the Waldies to have you over at their house. Tell them hi for he and that i miss seeing them. Also will you call Jasmine and tell her to email me? I can e-mail whoever I want. Pres. Pugh lets us. I have been wanting to hear from her for a long time. Well, that is crazy about my car. So, are you guys going to keep grandmas or sell it? How is Jane doing? Darcy was happy to get her. Well, with the people I have been working with, Nate is doing really good. The Bishop's family had him and us over for Sunday dinner which was nice. He should be getting baptized on the 15 and we should have this other girl soon, too, which will be nice to have two people getting baptized. I don't think I will be able to go to the fireside (for the elders leaving the mission). I will most likely go and stay with the other elders in my district and stay with them till I get a new comp. which will be on Monday some time. Do you see the missionarys much? Well I don't think there is much else going on right now, but i will let you know in a letter. There is one thing can you do for me. Look a Sam's Club and see if they have a big thing of airborne because Wal-Mart just has those little ones with I think 12 in them but this one elder had a big one that had a lot and he said his mom mailed it to him. So if I could have one of those so I don't have to keep wasting my money on getting those it would help a lot. Thanks for everything. Love, Daniel

Things are going really good and I will be having a baptism on Sat. which is going to be cool. Number 6 so that is nice and so far they all are still going to church which is even better. So I don't know who my new companion is. I'm staying with some elders in my district and they wanted to go e-mail and so I will e-mail again today when my comp gets here which I don't know when that will be. I will e-mail you again and tell you who he is (he did not get a chance to e-mail again, so we will find out next week). So, I love you, Daniel
