oh I don't know

Anyways... this week is was alright and could have been better but what can you do about it! 

Anywhom, it was move call last week, I forgot to tell you that I'm staying in Omagh! It's tough here so I am grateful the opportunity to serve here! Omagh is a very small town and 70% of it is Catholic! And they don't really go to church or anything! They won't even give Us one minute on the door step! And missionaries have been here since the dinosaur... well about then! So then have knocked ever door frontwards and backwards... Multiply times! So it makes sense why they are who they are!

However this week I did hit rock bottom but I found my way out of it, and I'll tell you A little bit about that later on in my email! 

So as yo know me and my comp started off the week SICK! that sucked! We didn't get any work done Monday or Tuesday! However since it was moves week Wednesday was our Pday so one of the members here drove us to giants causeway!!!! That was way fun! I'll send you all a pictures!

That was fun! We climbed up a cliff.... kinda of... It sounds a lot worst then it really was! 

anyways, then the rest of the week was us doing missionary stuff! however our main focus is on our resent convert... Rachel! She is kinda going threw a rough patch and last Tuesday she texted us saying how she gave into temptation and drank coffee and tea! She learned her lesson there, because she woke up the next day she had a massive headache!

However that is not the problem! She has a boyfriend that is not a member and he invited her to go to Paris with him! AND SHE AGREED!!!! yeah basically she is asking for trouble there!!! Me and my companion literally taught her the law of chastity lesson and obedience you could possibly think of! I hope it gets to her head! 

so yeah that is her! then also me and my comp have no clue what to do with this area! we were literally lost in our minds! so we hit rock bottom and sat there thinking of what we could do!  then at church it came to me! 

It was Branch Conference and the stake presidency was here and Talked about the perspective Elders! That is how I feel Omagh needs to grow! So that is what I am just going to focus on the rest of the move! I have hope that it will work! 

I am however Felling a lot better  So no need to worry about me! 

I know NOW that savior has my back 24/7 and I know he won't ever leave me hanging! last of all, I love him so I want to give my all to him!

I love you all and I hope that you all will keep on keeping on! YEAH? 

remember y'all are are children of god so make your father proud this week! that is what my goal is!

Family Friends and Everyone Else!

Another Week Up and Another Week Down! 

Me and my companion are sick today! It sucks! This is the second time that I'vbe been sick on my mission! :( Oh well! 

Lets see how did my week go! So basically! We started by going to district meeting! I love Elder Yates, He's our District leader! He is crazy Funny! 

He instructed us about using our time wisely! It is so hard to use your time wisely if you are just out finding someone to teach! 

However on Thursday we Biltz the Omagh Area! What a blitz is Another Set  missionaries Come Into Omagh! and there is twice the work in the area! we found someone to "teach!" His name is Malcome! Basically He has had the missionaries over before and is faith i think is called buhi of faith I may have spelled taht wrong! Anyway it's just someone who we are teaching! even though He shows no Interest at all! It just seems like He's being Nice But we will take it! 

Then we just contitued trying to find someone to teach! Until Yesterday...

Yesterday was funny! We wanted to see what else Omagh had to Offer and so we hoped on our bikes and went as far out of Omagh we could! Well that was a bad Idea! It turned out the When we were about to tor turn around we heard this PPHPHPHPPHPHHPHPHPPHPHPHPHPH! yes it was my back tire that went flat! 

We were in trouble. We were riding about and hour as far out of Omagh as possible and now we had to walk back! and it was a hour until curfew! right! We were going to be late! 

Well me being the ingenuitive guy I am! I started walking! Then I was going to slow! so I just hoped on my bike and started peddling! All the way home! I really worked up a sweat! 

I was thinking of how to relate this to the gospel and i think I figured it out!

It's kind of like how the devil works! He leads you to the middle of no where then ditches you to figure out how you are going to get back yourself! He suck! I hate the devil SO MUCH! 

That is however my weekly update! My nose is Running and I don't feel 100%! However at the end of the day I love this work and I love my savoir! So what else do i need?

I love you all I can't wait to heard from you!!

grgrgrrrgr pfff (that would be a farting noise!)

Well this week was kinda POOP! however it was good also! 

So after I was done emailing we went to a members house to eat food and dropped us off at the church in derry because we were going to spend the night over there! so we started to walk back to their flat and I was texting them that I was going to be late! Then out of no where a pole was in my face! It was so funny! I sat on the ground and laughed my bum off! Then I got up and we passed this guy and he was like... I heard that clear back there! It was great! 

Then we put on the fitness fitting and the photography class nobody showed up! So we need to advertise it better! The idea situation would have been fo rthe members to come with their friends! But that stuff happens! 

We dropped off our Bio find Flyers and now we just need to fallow up on that! Umm, I have been working out a lot! 

There is nothing else to do so I have been just working out each evening! and morning! I only have 17 more months left I got to come home better then I left in all aspects of life! 

Which I figured out a way to study! I want to see how everything is connected in the gospel! I'll show you it once I start! It will be sick! 

This next move however, I am going to focus on member missionary work! I feel like the members here don't fully understand how missionary work actually is very to do! With the Omagh branch there is a Bunch of part member family! like over half the branch! All they have to do is speak up! So i am hoping that I stay one more move to Help out with their family!

We also cleaned out Rachel's back yard! She kept telling how hard of a worker I was! SHOUT OUT TO MY DAD! THANK YOU DAD! 

Well that is my update! I love you all! Have a great week!

It is complete!



Good morning home life! 

I hope you all are doing!
So, i didn't feel like a lot of stuff went on this week so I'll go day by day!

Tuesday- Zone meeting! That was really good! I enjoyed it! So they talked about being worthy to stay on you mission and how that links to fallowing the spirit! That one thing that I am focusing on all the time is fallowing the spirit! So any tips let me know! Then we missed our bus had to wait around for an hour to catch the next one! 

I can't remember the rest of the week but we work on our finding activities and made flyers and all! I'll attach them! They look amazing! 

I know at some point this week my companion did a trail he said his butt hurt the next day! HAHAH LOOSER! 

it sucks for my though! I have to work out with everyone when we put it on this week! Who is the looser now? ME!!!!

I went on exchanges and it was fun! I LOVE elder Yates he is a HOOT! We were chatting with this one guy and has a strong belief in god! He has heard a little bit about our church and just doesn't agree with it! He said he doesn't need more scriptures! I asked him if he would read the Book of Mormon! All I invited him to do is read from the BOM & he wouldn't! His lost! I did give him his chance every clearly! and multiple time! I really hope he has another one!  

It is weird though! Rarely, do people want to read the BOM. I don't know why they must already know it's true! Well, I will keep trying! 

The branch however seems pretty excited about our activities! So i am hoping that they are going to bring their friends! That is a gaol! 

Honestly, this week was getting everything announced around town! now we execute!

I really do love your Emails though! They keep me motivated to work hard!

I love you ALL like ALL of you! 

BYEEEEEE!!!!

So like yeah...

Yeah there y'all! so umm yeah basically this week flew I barely remember it! 

I'll try my best! We have just been working on getting our finding ideas up and running and this week we will be advertising them all! 

So the big tractor tires and inner tube that we donated to us were filthy! So were cleaned them and then them shin! but not really because they were tires! However! It took us forever to clean them! Now people will actually touch them! 

We had coordination! The branch president is pretty awesome! 

Then we work on our lesson plans for the Fitness and photography class! then we are also coming up with a power point for family history! there is so much to do! It's crazy!

We have so much to do! We need to get it done by tomorrow! 

We also helped the part member family move house and that was interesting! He is not a member and he has read the Book of Mormon and the Doctrine and Covenants and understands what we believe! He just think church is controlling and doesn't believe it! He does understand everything we believe! He is just crazy! He doesn't believe that Christ set up his church when he was ministering also! Matthew 16:18 would say different! I'll have to chat with him! I'll just will have to be bold with him and lay down the law! 

Then we went on exchanges and Elder Reeder ate a dead dries up leave! It was funny! Also we ate lunch and this part member house in his area and the food was horrible there! We didn't want to ate it niether did we want them to feel bad! so we took the napkins and put like half the food in it then stuck it in our pockets! I do not EVER want to see that food again! But it was funny! 

then we came back to Omagh and started to make our weight for the fitness finding Idea! That literally was the week! We spent a lot of time traveling and what not! 

we also taught this less active and she just love to talk! Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, a hour later...
