The members are hookin us up...

hello. how is everyone doing this week. it seems like things are going well. man im jeoulous of the boys going to rebulution i bet that was amazing. im always asking other missionaries if they like the same music i like including rebelution. and no one has, but there is a brand new missionary from hawaii and he likes and knows of most the bands i like, so that made my day. but hopefully Riley will be able to cap off summer school. school down here has already started its pretty crazy. there are 2 high schools in are area and its fun to ride by on our bikes and see them practicing football it takes me back. thats good that Oly is looking good it will be exciting to see how they do. and that is awesome that you got tickets to the utah games too, i miss that so much. where are the seats this year. thats fun that Iron and Wine is coming to town, mom and dad, you should definitely go they are really good in concert. so nate had his wedding i cant believe it. and logan was the best man, thats pretty cool. hopefully he had his dreads in you will have to let me know. is nate living down in Provo or what. thats pretty crazy that the Elton's were in the 2nd ward i will definitely have to ask around and see who knows them. there are some really cool families in the 2nd ward, as a matter of fact, today for p day some kids who are headed off to college are having a ping pong tourney and we are in it. and were doing it at the Hoppers house and they are in the 2nd ward, so that will be fun. but you should ask them who they really liked down here or if there is anyone i should say hi to for them... man that is a bummer that steve and berrys went out of business you dont need to send me any shoes mine should last the rest of the time. thats pretty wild about brett favre, i cant believe he came back and for the vikings. we were talking to our crazy old neighbors i dont know if i have told you about them but they're hilarious. she is a 70 yr old European and he's a little older and he has parkinsons and just got a pace maker in, so she is always knocking on our door and having us help move him and stuff it was funny, she tried puttin and inflatable mattress on his lazy boy and he slipped right off so we had to lift him back up and he just loves it. one night we had to put him into bed and all. but they're a hilarious couple who love chicago sports- da bears and bulls and cubs its funny. thats a bummer that the Benglas lost their pre season game we cant be having that. you guys will have to let me know who they play, what the score is and who played well. for the bengals, utah, and olympus. thats nice that it has cooled down up there its still nice and warm here. yesterday was really hot i think it hit 110 but so far today it hasn't got over 100, i think so that is amazing. hopefully it wont get too hot cuz were going to go out to fish a little too. but things have been getting better. we have been working a little bit more effectively. and doin a little more teaching. yesterday we had 2 really good lessons. one of them was with Brittany her bf just got home from his mission and she is pretty interested but she already goes to a different christian church but she is reading the bofm and things, so i think we'll be able to reel her in. then we had a really cool lesson with a dude named jeff he is a guitar specialist hes teaching lessons to like all the youth in the steak, so he knows a ton of members, and he sees how good they are with their families and things, and he said he can tell there is something special about us and things. he just wants to learn and understand things a little more, so that is cool i think he will come around pretty quick. then we have a few other lessons set up for this week. we have one with a kid named Drew his gf is a member and he is really interested he said he would get baptized once he gets and answer to the book of Mormon, so things have been going really good. the members are hookin us up with lessons and friends to teach. thats what it is all about. we have got it moving forward hopefully we can keep it steady now. i dont know if i told you about the Zeiglers they're a really cool family and they will do just about anything for us, but the other day we rode on their chopper bikes! it was sweet, she is supposed to send you some pics of it. im trying to think if anything else really exciting happened this week, i don't really think so. we went to the temple this morning that was nice. but we were in too big of a hurry so i forgot to take my garments so i will probably have to wait 6 weeks or maybe i will be able to have a member swing by and do an exchange or something. well i think that is about all i have for this week thank you all for the support hope everyone has a good fun week love you all
