Dear Fam, 17 November 2009

ok so the scriptures..... funny story, we were going to Varsity Villa where all of our investigators are. btw had my first baptism :) I’ll send pictures when I get a cord for my camera. But anyways left them at one of our investigators house and he called and told me, I told him to leave them outside his front door and we'll run by and get them, well I forgot about them and it snowed that night and buried them in the snow. The next morning the snow started melting and got them all wet. They’re still drying I’m about in Isaiah in the drying process. So I’ve been using a triple combination the past week and a half. lol sorry so I’m probably going to get some more today. (I’ll keep them as souvenir) then send them down to bountiful (member wraps them in a leather and engraves a picture on them for FREE) it’s pretty sweet. hahaha dad the weight you lost I’ve found...... :( most of the week last week I was sick with a stomach virus for Wednesday - Friday. It sucked and then my companion had it too. So we rotated puking in the bathroom. But we got better enough to go to the baptism. Oh I can’t remember if I told you all but me and my trainer stayed together for another transfer SWEET!!!! But I’ll send picture next time
love

Letter from Elder Herring 11/03/09

hey everyone,
OH GOSH!!!! we got one of our investigators to come to church with his wife whos a member, they paid tithing and then went home after sacrement meeting. we were walking by there apartment and there were like four cop cars there...... he got a arrested for a public intocication when he was 18. we talked to the cops (there all rm's) and i was like look he's changed and he's currently taking the disgustions and has a baptisim date. needless to say he went to jail. he got out on monday because the ward mission leader Brother Boman payed his bail. it was way dope no one asked him to pay it but he drove to cedar city and paid it and drove Brian home. another thing that happened this week is we tracted into the ghetto of logan. knocked on this one door and this hispanic came to the door and was like "como" lol my companion and i explained that we were the missionaries and that we had a message about christ, i guess we offened him and he started rambling in spanish. then he turned around and ran back to his room. i saw a tatoo on his back when he was running, he was ms13. that crazy mexican gang from back home. so i looked at my companion and was like dude we need to get out of here, he's ms13. he asked what's ms13? i grabbed him by his arm and we ran upstairs to a members apartment and waited a little bit. the cool thing was is we were waiting for our investigators to come to church and i see theses three people walking up the sidewalk and it was him. him his wife and his deaf homie all came to church. he came up too me during sacrement and said they had to go cause his mother fell and she was in the hospital. hopefully we'll be able to teach him soon, his wife is way nice she always talks to us and wants us to come by and teach her husband. other than thoses its been good. i got to teach relief society kinda wierd but it was good. you heard it right I TAUGHT RELIEF SOCIETY!!!!!! so missionaries dont do crap for halloween, we borrowed monopoly from a members home and played for three hours and handed out pass along cards to trick or treaters, hahahaha they werent very happy
Love,
