Week 16

Monday came and went without an email from Kyler.

At first, I didn't think anything of it.

Then...

all sorts of things started going through my head...

1.  He or his companion is sick and they are stuck at home...OR

2.  His President is in town and called an imprtant meeting...OR

3.  It is too unsafe in the city and the missionaries have been asked to stay in their homes...BUT

What actually happened is they had a super busy day and would have to write on Tuesday.

{at 6:00 I finally got this from him}

hey mom! we had a crazy day and i dont have time to write today! we are going to write tomorrow! so be ready! sorry for making you guys wait!  thanks! tomorrow!!

kyler love you

So, we waited until Tuesday!

Hey everyone!! you there??

so this week was good. just another week! haha we worked hard! our numbers weren't our best but its okay! that happens!

Tuesday was great!! i got my package from you!! i was so happy!! haha packages are great!! i love the gatorade and i really needed my pillow cases!! so thank you!! i also go like 20 letters the same day!! so it was fun to sit down and read everyone's letters!! my zone all took a look at the book i got from Lexi!! they loved it and said it was awesome!! they all told me that when she gets married while im here im going to regret having that!! haha i dont care!! haha The work was good!! we don't have a whole lot of investigators so we've been knocking a whole lot of doors which im a professional at now!! my knuckles are sore! Wednesday was our zone conference!! that's a first for me! i thought, going into it it would be an hour maybe an hour and half but nope.....it was from 10am to 6pm!! they talk about everything there!! it was good though! we had some good lessons and they fed us lunch!! that was nice! i saw Elder Roth there so it was great to talk and catch up with him!! Friday i had quite the experience  we spent the whole day with Elder Thurston and Vasquez as we were helping them think of a skip for their ward talent show. we went to lunch with them where the sister that lives there cuts hair. well she ended up not being there but her sister who was there told me she thought she could do it....so i said sure why not. i only want a size 3 buzz all the way around....how hard could that be!!?? well turns out she had no idea what she was doing. i told her i wan a 3 and she started in the back where i couldn't see......and just as she started the elders watching screamed... HERMANA NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! i thought it was a joke but nope..... it wasn't  she didn't even put the clip on!! buzzed me with a 0!!!!!!!!!!!! so Elder Thurston took over and did a 3 but half way through the clippers broke!!!! so we ended up walking to a professional where i got it buzzed down to a 2. hopefully i can avoid president for a few weeks!! haha i have pictures of the experience. Saturday was good! we taught a few lessons and visited members most the day. we are trying to strengthen the ward and get them to help us so we've been doing that too. Sunday was disappointing at church because none of the investigators showed but we are meeting with them  tonight and tomorrow so hopefully everything is all good there!! okay hurry and type me back!!

Mom:

Are you there?

Kyler:

Mom:

I read your email! Sounds like you have been super busy! I want to see pics of the hair cutting :) How are you doing emotionally?

Kyler:

okay!!! hold on!! im doing great!! really!! im just fine! 

crap!!! the computer im at wont let me down load pictures!!!!

Mom:

That's so good to hear! I mostly care about your well being! That's first for me! :) All is well here! 

Kyler:

haha good!! hows summer going!!?

Mom:

So far, so good! Busy, but that's normal for us. Do you need anything from us?

Kyler:

nope!!! not right now!! but that's good! whats everyone up to?

Mom:

Kayden went to help at the baseball camp today. Berkley just got home from the gym. Carston and Manning slept over at the Humphrey's. Dad's at work and says, he can't get on right now, but he loves you and is always praying for you.

Kyler:

awesome!! sounds like nothing has changed!! haha tell dad i love and miss him too! 

Mom:

I sure will! I will go ahead and send your debit card. Also, the girl in grandmas ward is leaving for Peru next week. So you can watch for her in two months or so. So how did the skit with Elder Thurston go?

Kyler:

okay sounds good!!  but yeah she emailed me!! so i've been talking to her and helping her out!! we ended up not doing it bc we couldn't think of anything in time because my hair incident took a while to fix up and sort out.....so that was a waste of a day...

Mom:
So you are going tonight to check in with your investigators?

Kyler:

 yeah we have a few appointments!! so we found this less active family that wants us to reactivate them! so we are working with them!! they haven't been to church in 7 years!! they want their 11 year old son to be baptized! we've been teaching him as well and we have a date to baptize him on the 29th!! 

Mom:

That is wonderful! Is Alejandra still getting baptized on the 22nd?

Kyler:

yeah but we haven't been able to meet with her bc of a family emergency shes had lately so i doubt she will be ready by the 22. maybe, who knows!! we are going to try!!!! 

Mom:

Just keep working on her! We've been working in the front yard. We're trying to get it in shape and planting some shrubs and flowers. Carston has his GGBL championship game tonight. So hopefully they will win and he can enjoy the rest of his summer :)

Kyler:

his team is in the championship??? really?? oh dang i didn't realize how good they were!! that's awesome!! 

Mom:

That really have struggled this year. So it's kinda surprising they are in the championship.  We beat NG last week to go to the finals.  We will probably play them again tonight. They went into last game with too much confidence. (You know, the NG confidence) :) so they will come out ready to play tonight! 

Kyler:

oh wow!! dang thats so awesome!! i hope pull that off!!! beat them please!! haha

Mom:

I know. It's always good to beat NG!! Any talk of transfers?

Kyler:

transfers are in 2 weeks!! my companion is most likely going to leave and ill get a new companion!! who knows though. transfers are unpredictable. okay i have to go mom!! i love you and everyone so much!!! tell everyone hello for me please!! LOVE and miss you all!!!! :)

Mom:

LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU SO MUCH!!!!

So everything ended up being just fine!  Nothing horrible like I first imagined, just busy with the work!
