Thank you for emailing me such great emails all the other missionaries are jealous. One thing I wanted to ask about, and I might be wrong but... I feel like a lot of the questions I ask I don't always get an answer. Maybe I am just not reading closely enough. Either way your emails are pretty much the best both Mom and Dad. Sounds like it was a busy week. Hmm one word for the mission would be fast. Time needs to slow down. The weeks and the days are flying by now, not just the weeks. Kaden sounds like a nerd ;) Jokes, it is good that he is a smart kid. Keep working hard weirdo beardo. Temples are such a blessing. Something that I think makes a difference between a good life and an average life is probably, diligence. I think this is shown from what you were saying and finding it out on the mission. If you want a good area, you need to work for it. If you want a good life you need to be willing to work for it. I mean if you think about our trips to the cabin for example I wouldn't say its the easiest to go on a trip and get everything ready, and then when we get there we spend a lot of time working on the wood, especially Dad. But the cabin is definitely one of our favorite places and we love it every time. It is a lot of good stuff that comes from just being willing to do what you need to do. Pretty simple truth. Also I looked at the blog - thanks for changing the email about that lesson I had, I approve of the changes but I felt a little like those ghosts in ghost whisperer. :)
This week:
This week was pretty good. We have a baptism scheduled for this Saturday but Nate, our investigator, changed his date to the 12th so he could go to the YSA Elders Quorum camp Saturday instead. Plus, all the bishopric is going so there would be no one to preside. I mean we can't really blame Nate, and it isn't a bad reason, But Elder Peihopa goes home on the 9th so even though he would never say it I think he might be a little disappointed that he won't be here for it. It is like he is just realizing that his mission is ending but he keeps denying it and acting exactly the same - you can't even tell that he is going home in a week and a bit.
The rest of the time we haven't had too much happen this week and it isn't a lot of stuff to talk about. We had a zone bbq, we met a really cool guy from Switzerland who is here playing professional ultimate Frisbee (I think he may have been lying). He came to our BBQ and ate a bunch of our food and then at the end he realized we were Mormons and decided to gap it. I am not really sure what to write about this week. I am sorry. Things are going well.
I love you guys,
Elder Summers
