Mother's Day is Coming......

Hello Everyone,
Another week down and I'm at 11 months!! Today is my 11 month anniversary. Yay! Only 13 more months to go.
That is so cool that so many of the young men are going on missions. Chase is an old one. Argentina will be good to him. Creole for Tim. That will be fun to speak in Florida. All we have are English and Spanish in Tally.
I miss trek. I was so young when I went. I do remember sleeping through the testimony meeting. Good thing you were there mom. That would have been a rough week without you. Being a Ma and Pa sounds so much fun. I can't wait for a calling in young mens. What would be better than to spend my time with boys. I've been thinking that when I get home I want to coach. Baseball or Basketball. That would be so much fun to be with young boys and teach them how to play.
Well this week has been crazy. We have received a lot of referrals from members, finding new investigators and trying to work with less actives. All of which has increased dramatically in the last week. It could have been because Elder Tew and I went to Crestview this week. That took a full day out of our week. So it was like a 6 day week.
Kevin is getting baptized this week. He is so excited. At church his brothers and him were smiling, really big. His grandfather is coming from Wisconsin to perform the baptism. Its going to be great. Everything is ready, and I don't have to do anything but sit and watch. We will also be doing the confirmation the same day. Usually they do it during sacrament meeting the following Sunday for converts, but his Grandparents are leaving for North Carolina the next day. So Baptism and Confirmation.
We have had a couple of really great lessons this week. Both on Tuesday. First was supposed to be with a man named Rich, but he wasn't there. Instead we taught his roommate, Milton. Milton is a really nice man who knows a lot about the Bible. He has also been to a lot of churches. He was naming them off and I think he got to a dozen different churches. He's still looking. We shared a few scriptures with him and he shared with us his thoughts a feelings. It was amazing. He told us about how he is struggling with his girlfriend; he believes that everything we receive in this life is a gift from God; how he has been to so many churches, that they talk the talk, but fail to walk the walk; he knows that we talk the talk AND walk the walk. Milton is great. He is an Elder for his church and travels all over, but at the same time he knows that there is something missing. We're going back this Tuesday.
Our other lesson was with Sheila. She works for the Martin family (members) as their secretary for their Vending Company. Old Bro Martin gave her a Book of Mormon the other day. She had been reading bits and pieces here and there. She has also been to a lot of different Churches. She has a young son and they are looking together. She said that she went to a Jewish church and had a bad experience. Not only was it different for her, after the service a woman came up to her and told her she didn't belong. We have heard some crazy stories of churches out here. I hope no one sees our church as that way. Everyone deserves to have a good experience. We taught Sheila with younger Bro Martin. (Father-Son business) We gave her a chapter to read and asked the Martins to bring her to church. We don't know if she has read yet, but she didn't come to church. We are going back this week to teach her again.
We have also received a referral from Bishops wife, Sis Matkin. Bro and Sis Matkin are Professors at FSU, I think, at least Bro Matkin is. They have some friends who are professors too. One actually taught at University of Utah! About 15 years ago though. We went over to see her (I'm blanking on her name). Sis Matkin asked us to help with service. Her friends home is falling apart and they need some help. So on Friday we will be doing a lot of house work. We are just supposed to be friendly and answer questions.
Its been a great week. Zone Leader Council was great as well. President Summerhays is going home soon and we're preparing for the new mission President. Its going to be a big transition.
Love Y'all,
Elder Call

PS Do you guys know by chance any Rogers? They moved to Alpine last summer. Elder Rogers, their son is out here. He'll be playing football for the University of Utah. Random, but just wondering.
PPS I can't wait to call you guys.
