Subject: I love cars.

Hello family,
How are all of you? I'm good for those of you who don't know i got transferred. I'm now in Kaw Valley ward. That's in Topeka, KC With my new comp Elder Knight. I think we are going to have a fun time together. He is from AR little rock. So he was pretty close to this mission when he got his call. So you might be think how do i feel about this transfer and i would tell you that I'm in deferent about the whole thing. I didn't like that i was getting doubled transferred in. the elders that were here before us didn't leave us any good info. If we didn't live with some sweet members we wouldn't know anything. We live with the Aldricks. They are super sweet. They like to play games with us. Like ticket to ride. That is a pretty sweet game. Out of the 3 times we have played i have won 2 and my comp won the other. So brother Aldrick hasn't won at all. It pretty funny. They swear from time to time and it so funny. So we have some good things happening here. We have 4 nonmembers that come to church every week and 3 of them are investigators. So i have gotten to teach one of them her name is Jennifer and she would be baptized if it wasn't for her husband. He is just one of those guys that need to see everything before he can believe. So i think that they will be baptized be it will just take some time. So the 2nd day in this area we didn't have a good map and so we went out trying to get a feel for the area. So we walked for ever and we found out that we walked out of our area like 3 times. We walked a mile out of my area. It sucked. So other than that we are having a good time it will be a little bit before we have a good feel for the area. Oh and one more thing WE ARE PART TIME CAR!!!!!!!!!!! YES!!!!!!!!!!! h'm so tried of walking and biking even though i haven't biked for a while. My last 2 comps didn't think to bike. Also Elder Knight doesn't have a bike right now. So we are walking a lot. Well i cant think of anything else to write about so i will talk to you all later. I love you all and miss you all.

hello family,
it me Elder Scoble the cool one. jk so how is everyone doing this week? I'm doing great. we had a good week. so on Monday we didn't have a dinner so i called some people in the ward trying to find and dinner. i had no luck. so thought on who could i call for a dinner. so then i saw how close we were to Parkville. so i gave the Horrocks a call and they said that they would feed us. so brother horrocks came to get us. so we went out to meet him at the Kmart parking lot and when we got there he had gotten himself stuck on the snow. so we tried to help him get out. we were no help at all. we did get out after a while. but we talked for a while and they said they went dad and Thomas get here we can have dinner at there house. so we have a dinner. i wanted to see them before i left and this gave us the best reason to go. so cool beans. on Tuesday we had a leadership conference. it was for all district leaders and zone leaders and trainers and sister leaders. so i got to go. i have to say it was one of the best meetings i had been to. the meeting its self was boring but the testimony meeting part at the end was the best. the spirit was so strong it felt like being in the temple. that was the best part. so it was a good meeting. then on Wednesday we had lunch with this older couple and they were a little different. this guy was way more anal about slamming the doors on his car then Dad. we didn't slam the doors at all and he was so mad because he thought we did. it was crazy. but later that night we had dinner with the young women of the ward. they had us come to church and we got to know them and it was a lot of fun. so we saw Joc again and he is doing ok. he still is having some problems. we hope he can over come. so we will keep praying for him. also this week we got to go the and singles activity. it was for the 30s and up singles so it was ok. if it wouldn't have been i would have thought someone is trying to get me married. jk. one other thing we got to do this week. we were with a resent convert named David and he took us to see Joseph Smith Jr.'s grave. that was cool. there aren't a lot of people that get to see that. so we are soo cool. so transfers are this week. i don't know whats going to happen. this being my last one i could go or stay. we will see what happens. well i cant think of any thing else to write about so i will talk to you all later. i love you all and miss you all.
Love Elder Tyler Scoble

Subject: sleep over woooooohooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!

hello family,
how are all of you this week? i'm good. we had a slow week because of all the snow. we got 12" of snow. we were at a members house when it started snowing. we were painting the rest of the stuff that i didn't get to finish. and by time we were done there was so much snow that we couldn't get home. so we stayed the night.it was the first sleep over i have had on my mission. i had fun. we just played a lot of games and stuff like that. the roads were ploud by the morning. so we were able to get out and get home by then. but i liked it. so there is this one family that we are teaching and there names are the wagnons. i think that's how to spell there name. but we have been teaching them for an little while. they are like a your and mine kind of family. they just got married 2 months ago. one of there daughters isn't a member. the boyfriend of one of the other daughters isn't a member either and he comes to the lessons every time. so we have been trying to teach them all of the lessons. we don't know how to ask him to be baptized because he doesn't live in our area. he is 18 so he doesn't have to have his parents permission. but we think its a good thing for him to tell his parents so it doesn't look like we are teaching him behind their back. so we hope something happens soon. so how have things been for you all lately? i'm having fun other then all the snow. it doesn't make it fun for walking or biking. and there are no sidewalks here. we try to get some of our ward missionaries to give us rides so we don't have to walk as much. it makes things easier. well i can't think of any thing else to write about so i will talk to you all later. i love you all and miss you all.

Subject: me no likey the Chucky Cheese.


Hello family,

How are all of you? I’m doing grate. This was a fun week for me. We were able to do some fun stuff. So one thing we did this week was we went to the Cummins house to do some painting. They were painting 2 rooms one was there bathroom and one of the kid’s bedrooms. So I told my comp to start the kid’s room and I would start the bathroom. So I finish the taping and the first coat of paint and I go to see where he was at and to see if he needed help. So I go in there and he is still on the first wall. So I start to help him. I got 2 walls done before he finished the first wall he was on. After that I started doing the edging. After I was done with that my comp didn’t come back. So I finished that room by myself. I still didn’t finish the bathroom so I will have to go back and finish that this week. That same family took us to Chucky Cheese. That’s the first time I have ever been there and I don’t think I will go back. It was crazy. There where way to many people there and the food wasn’t the best. I still had fun though. So I went on exchanges with some of the elders in my district and I was a good one but it felt long. And the missionary that I was with talked very loud in his sleep. I thought about talking to him to see if he would talk back but I didn’t try. So I think at the end of this transfer I going to ask to be released from being a district leader. I just want to be a normal missionary. I don’t like all the other stuff that they want me to do. So I will see what happens. But we are trying hard to help our investigators to progress. Some are moving slower than we would like but as long as they are moving forward it will work out. So but everything is good here. Well I can’t think of anything else to talk about so I will talk to you all later. I love you all and miss you all soooooo much.

Love Elder Tyler Scoble
