Subject: i'm coming home to the place where i belong.

Hello family,

So this is my last email home. I’m not sure how long it’s going to be but what I don’t say in this I’ll just tell you in person. So this week was sooooo slow. My comp had pneumonia and something else that starts with a b but I don’t know how to spell it. So we were told by his doc that we were to take it slow. So we didn’t leave the house that much this week. But we did get to see Greg this week. We had dinner with him and his family. So we were going to ask him to be baptized but his isn’t ready right now. He will be soon but not right now. We asked him if being baptized was some thing he wanted to do and he said yes. But he danced around the Q big time. I think he will be just not right now. So I really can’t think of any thing else to talk about. We didn’t have that much happen so I guess I will see you all soon. I love you all and miss you all.

SLAP!!!!!

Hello family,

It’s me Elder Scoble. How are all of you this week? I’m good. Things are starting to pick up here. This area was left so bad that it has taken us forever to get things to make sense. So we got a few new referrals this week the only problem is that they are way far away. So we have to have the car to go and see these people. So when we get the car on Wednesday we will go up there and see them. So we were able to see Jay and Jennifer Goodson this week. We taught them the restoration. He still has a lot of Q’s that just don’t matter. But they are things he has a problem with so we have to do our best to help him know what the truth is. So we hope it will work out for the best. I don’t think I will see them baptized but I do think that they will be some day. It’s only a mater of time. We also had zone conference this week. Someone of the 70 came to talk to us. Really it was more like yell at us. He did a lot of yelling. But he did have some good things. I got a lot out of his talk. So I also went on exchanges this week with the Zone leaders and the district leader. They were fun but not a lot happened. On one of them we went to a fireside were that same 70 talk to us. It still was more like yelled at us. There were a lot of different stakes their, some that I severed in. so I got to see some of people from my old wards. That was nice. We also went to the zoo again this week. we also got to do something different this time. This time I got to clean a pond. It was like one of the things that I did at the zoo in Wichita but not as dirty. But for now I think that’s about it for now. I can’t think of any thing else to talk about. Oh one more thing before I go for those who have written me letters I’m sorry I haven’t written back but I’m so close to coming home that I will just talk to you then. I hope that is ok with you all. But remember I love you and miss you all so much. And I will see you all soon.

Subject: how many cups of sugar does it take to get to the moon?

Hello family,

How are all of you this week? I’m good. We had a pretty good week this week. It’s so sweet being here in this area. Elder Knight and I are having a lot of fun. He didn’t like his last 2 comps and he said he likes being with me. So that’s good to hear. So the Aldrich’s took us to Chuck e cheeses for FHE. It was so fun. We had a lesson so that makes it ok. They were the ones who asked us if we wanted to go. So I had my last interview in the mission. I have one more when I’m leaving but that’s it. So that’s a little crazy. It fells weird to be the oldest missionary in the area. Everyone has to tell me how much longer I have left. It’s going so fast. So we helped again at the zoo. So the guy we work with had a Q for us it had to do with that guy getting in trouble at BYU. So we had to talk to him about that. Who knew that someone breaking a commandment would help with some missionary work? But we just moved a lot of branches again. So there is this older guy that we see about once a week. His name is Brother Winkler. He is a funny old guy. He doesn’t have all of the church teachings strait some times but he is funny. So I guess that makes it ok. He will tell us the same stories every time we see him. So we didn’t get to see our investigators this week but we did get appointment for next we. So we hope that we can bring them closer to Christ. So on Saturday we helped this sister move out of her old house into her new. Ok really we just helped her move out of her old house. Because we helped load the truck but we didn’t go to help unload it. We went to help this other member move a lot of logs out of this other sister’s house. Can I tell you that moving logs sucks? The city will come in a cut down trees that are to close to power lines and they leave the wood for you to move. That’s just stupid if you ask me. Be we moved this whole tree. We moved 2 tree really. But it was ok it wasn’t as bad as it could have been. So for the first time I was late to church. We didn’t know it was day light savings time. So we were about a half an hour late to church. No one told us to change our clocks. Oh well I don’t think too many people knew we were later. So while we were at church we had to teach the gospel principles class. And I was teach the first part of it and I said something a long the lines of (we are working hard the get salvation) and one of the older guys in the class correct me and says (we all get salvation be we all want exaltation). We had an investigator in that class and there was a reason I used the words I did. That guy does stuff like that to much in our class. I wish we could ask him to go to anther class. Be he is one of our ward missionaries so he thinks he has to be in that class. So we will see what happens. So as for the field day thing I would like to do the water balloon sling thing. That sounds like fun. I would also like for you to invite these people to my home coming. The Barton’s, Beatrice Farrel, Kazarie Pavlides,Kevin Smith, and Aarika Gilson. Those are just some of the people I can think of right now if there is some onr you thing I would like there that I did give you a name for just invite them. I think I will be ok with it. 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 so much.

Subject: glorious turds rain down from heaven.

Hello family,

How are all you this week? I’m great. Things are starting to pick up. Not too much though we will have some good things happen soon I hope. So we again went to do zoo service. So I did something stupid and I hurt my self. So they are cutting down a lot of trees at the zoo and they wanted us to move all of the branches into a pile. So we all were doing that. So a lot of the branches were on top of one anther so you would some times have to pull them apart. So I was trying to pull one a part from anther one but it wasn’t working. So I thought I’ll just break one of them and that worked but I pulled the branch really hard not thinking of the direction I was pulling it. So I pulled it strait into my chest. And the branch had a nice sharp part to it so it hurt pretty bad. I have a nice cut on my chest right now. It’s was a good thing that I was wearing a sweater other wise it might have been a lot worse. But I’m fine the cut is pretty much gone now. So fun times. So we got to meet two of our investigators this week. So we got to meet Jay and Jennifer Goodson. So Jennifer would be baptized but her husband isn’t there right now. I think he will be some day but not right now. I hope we can help him to know the Joseph Smith is a Prophet. That’s what holding him back. But once he get passed that he would be baptized. So our other investigator is Greg Dawson. He is this black guy that we are teach. His wife who is a member just started coming back to church. So we have been teaching him. But when we teach him he has no problems and he has no Q’s so that is a red flag in my book. When ever I have taught people like that there is always something wrong or something they aren’t telling us. So I hope I can find what he might not be telling us. We also had Stake conference this week it was a broadcast from salt lake. It was good but the Aldrich’s were sitting I front of us and started laughing a lot and we didn’t know why. So we are going home with them and Sister Aldrich tells us why she was laughing and said was singing the song but put 2 words together. The words were (to and word) but they came out as turd. So everyone around us was laughing pretty hard. Well as for the field day thing that sounds like fun so I’m in. well I can’t thing of anything else to talk about. So I love you all and miss you all.

subject: are you hungry? no i ate a june bug on the way in.

Hello family,

How are all of you this week? I’m doing good. Things are still slow but we hope that the more work we do the better things will get. So the Aldrichs are so freaking funny! They make me laugh so hard some times. We play games with them all the time. Elder Knight and I win a lot of the time. But jay has been winning a little more the last few times we have played. So we have a zoo here in Topeka and we go there once a week. It’s not as big as the one in Wichita but it still fun to work at this zoo. I like doing things like that. Last week we went and we cut some bushes down and then we had to go pull out some small trees. It was a lot of work. We also get to go and help with the bishops store house every other week. We pretty much set up tables and bring in food and set it out. Then we can help people get the food and take it to there car. There are a lot of older people there they tell us what to do. So it a really long day of service on Tuesdays. So we finally got the car and then we find out that the other elders took almost all of the miles going out of the area. So we have like no miles. It’s a good thing it a new month. There are so many people that are less active in this ward its crazy and a lot of them live in the north part of our area. So we hope that we can get enough miles to go see them. In this ward a lot of guys in the ward play basketball in the morning before they have to go to work and we go play with them. We have to get up at 5:30. I’m not a fan of getting up at that time but it start the day with a good note. It might help me lose some weight. Well I can’t think of any thing else to write so I will talk to you all later. I love you and miss you sooooo much.
