Subject: who says that dummies can't dacne?!

Hello family. It’s me elder scoble. How are all of you this week? I’m good. This week was slow I think it’s because of Christmas. This time of the year is hard for mission work you would think that it would be easier because it Christmas time everyone should be think about Christ. But people are soooo busy that people just don’t have time for us. So we are working hard to find some new people to teach. We haven’t seen the investigators we do have the last few weeks. So we have started try to get ahold of them a lot sooner this week I the hopes of caching them home or something that. But we did have a fun week. We had zone conference this week and it was a special Christmas one. They did one like this last year and it was pretty good. They have some missionaries play music and sing songs. It was very good. We also had our ward Christmas party. We helped set up all the stuff. They also had the talent show and elder Aydelotte and I were in it. We did the dummy dance. But we did it missionary style. I made a dummy out of the things I found in the apt. we only had to buy like 3 things that we did have. We made up the dance the night before the show. We also didn’t use the song that you would normally do the dance to. Elder Aydelotte had this song that we did the dance to. The ward like it a lot. I got someone to record it so you can see what we did. Everybody told us how much they liked it. We named the dummy elder Clayton because he was in this area for like 10 months. So we thought everyone would remember him. One thing that we did this week was we helped put up a ham radio antenna. That was a first for me. The lady we were helping put it up had the way she wanted it put up all in her mind and at first I had no idea what she was talking about. But after 4 hours of work we finally got it up. One thing was we don’t even know if it worked. She still and to plug it in the box thing and she didn’t do it while we were there. So it could have been all for nothing. But I don’t know what happen. Well I can’t think of anything else to write about so I will talk to you all later. I love you and miss you all so much.

Subject: that new car smell. i really don't like

the new car smell but the car was so nice.

Hello family,

How are all of you today? I’m good. I can tell that with the holidays it going to be hard trying to find new people to teach. But we try to find some new people. So we went to this part member family’s house this week and taught about the temple and it was a good lesson. We watched a DVD called between heaven and earth. It’s a good one. I like it a lot. But the lady that is a member talks way too much. But what can you do. We have a hard time teach with her around. So we helped a family move again. We already helped this family move nut this time we were just getting the rest of the stuff. They had sooo much stuff its crazy. People really need to down size there crap when they move. They moved some stuff that they most likely won’t be using any time soon. But we know they really need the help. We did get to ride in his new 2010 Mustang. It’s a super sweet car. I like it a lot. We also had stake conference this Sunday and it was funny. In the middle of the stake presidents talk the fire alarm went off. We sat there and waited for someone to turn it off. Some kid pulled it so it was no big deal. But it was funny. One of the members of our ward looked at me and said it wasn’t my kid. I could see one of her kids doing that. Well I can’t think of anything else to write about so I will talk to you all later. I love you and miss you sooo much.

Subject: i feel fat from all of the food!

Hello family,

How are all of you this week? I’m doing good. This was a good week for me. I got my new comp and I now know how to spell his name. it’s Elder Aydelotte. It sounds like ate a lot. He is nice and I think we will have fun. We put up our Christmas stuff last night and it was lot of fun. So for thanksgiving we went to the Cummins house and it was very good. They were getting ready to move this last weekend so it was a little crazy at their house. We helped paint their bathroom. But then after we had dinner there we went to the Feldmens house and had pie and played games. They sent mom a text while we were there. I don’t know if mom got it. So the next day we went over to the Cummins house to help them pack the truck to help them move. Pretty much brother Cummins and I moved all the stuff. Elder Aydelotte helped but not as much as brother Cummins and i. so it was a lot of big stuff. We helped them all day that day then we even helped the next day. They really needed the help so that’s why we went back. The thanked us by giving us a card and I didn’t know that in the card was $50. If I would have known that I might have found a way to give it back without them knowing. But they are gone now so I can’t do that. I’m going to miss that family. But we did get to teach Ashley again this week. She said she knows what we are teaching is true but they haven’t come to church. I’m need to find what’s stopping them from coming. I hope I can find it soon. I just turned in my pass port stuff today so it should be there in like 3 to 6 weeks they said. Well I can’t think of anything else to write about so I will talk to you all later. I love you all and miss you all.

Subject: a brand spanking new pooper for the family!

Hello family, how are all of you this week? I’m doing well. We had a good week this week. So on Tuesday we went to the prez’s home and they had this 4 hour meeting. It was a way good meeting. We just talked about the power of pray and Sister Van Koman talked about manners. I guess that some missionaries don’t act as well as they should. But it was good. So at the end of the meeting Elder Conover and I didn’t know what time the meeting ended so we were trying to get a hold of some members in our area to come and pick us up. We had no luck. So prez V.K. had left and there was only elder conover, me 2 other elders and Sister V.K. so when the other elders ride showed up Elder Conover and I were going to go outside to try to get ahold of someone. As we were going out the door sister V.K. asked if our ride was here and we said we were still trying to find one. So she said no just come back inside and I will give you a ride home. So we got to get a ride with the prez’s wife. She told us that we were the only elders that she has given a ride to without the Prez. So we are special. It was a fun ride home. So we taught Ashley Tuiono this week. We taught her once before. But this time we got to teach her the 1^st lesson. It was good but it could have been better. I think that if she comes to church that that will help her feel the spirit. Then later that day we stopped by one of our investigators houses that we hadn’t seen in a long time and we found out that they are getting a divorce. Her husband I guess started drinking again and he is a mean drunk. So we aren’t teaching them. It sucks when things like this happen. But then we also saw this less active member and her nonmember husband. Their names are the Williamsons. They are nice but Sister Williamsons talks way to much! And she tries to teach her husband things about the church and she gets way to in-depth and some of it is not truth. So it is soooo hard to teach there. We aren’t sure what to do with that. So the funny thing we did this week is we helped put in a new crapper at the Marlers. It smelled sooo bad. Elder conover started to gag. So that why he didn’t help. Brother Marler and I put it in together. I like working with this like that but not the smelly ones. So that’s about it for what we did this week. So I will talk to you all later. I love you all and miss you all.

Subject: Mongolian BBQ is the best.

Hello family.

How are you all? I’m good this was a good week it was still a little slow but it was good one. So we were able to see Brother Demink this week to teach him about the temple. It was good the only thing that was bad was he didn’t come to church this Sunday. We don’t know why. We haven’t talk to him yet so we will see what happened. It’s the first time he has missed church seen he was baptized. I hope he keeps coming that would be good. We also saw some good families in the ward. The Marlers took me to B D’s Mongolian BBQ. I went there when I was here the first time. It was so good. I love the Marlers they are a sweet family. Then I helped this member with his Xbox 360. He didn’t know how to set up his online so I helped him do that. So see playing video games helped me on my mission. I know that they would come in handy. LOL. So my birthday was very good. I had two families make me cakes. They were both good. One family gave me $20 too. It was a lot of fun. I also bore my testimony in the singles ward. I talked about family and how important they are. Then after I did that all the testimonies after mine were about families. So I really liked that because I didn’t know what to say when I went up there. But that must have been what someone needed to hear. I’m glad I started that. So yes I got your package thank you soo much for it. I don’t think I needed the candy though. I will see if I can start getting my passport thing started. I’m not sure what all I need to do but I will start it. Sorry I haven’t written any one back for a while. I have been busy. I will try to write today if possible. Well I can’t think of anything else to write about. So I will talk to you all later. I love you all and miss you all later.

Subject: this is halloween! this is halloween!

Hello family,

How are you all? I’m good it’s the day after Halloween and it was a lot of fun. So we had some cool things happen this week. There is this guy that I was trying to see when I was here a year and a half ago and we had no luck then. But we tried to see him like 2 weeks ago and finally saw him. So I asked if there was a time that we could stop by and see him and his family. So we set up an appointment. The first one fell through. So we set one up for last Monday. We asked if we could get a team up and we got this new member of our ward to take us. We had only met Brother Reed once before he this time so we really didn’t know him. So we went to the appointment. The less active guy’s wife isn’t a member and so we were going to take the church stuff slow because we didn’t know how she was going to be about the church. We had been told in the pass that she wasn’t open to the church. So we just started talking to them to try to get to know them and we finally got them to open and be comfortable with us. So that she said that she had some things that she didn’t like about the church so I asked what they were. That’s when our member helped so much. He is a convert to the church so he was able to put every thing in her perspective. It helped so much. Brother Reed was a super sweet team up. So at the end of the lesson I asked if we could teach her about the church. She said we could come over once a month or something like that. So that’s a lot better then not coming by at all. So we hope that this is her time. So we had something like this happen again this week as well. We went to this less active part member family’s house just to talk to them and to see how they were doing and the husband was being taught by the missionaries in the pass but they said some things to him that pushed him away from the church. So we went over and talk for a little bit and we were going to go because his wife (the member) left just before we were going to go. So just as I was going to stand up he just started asking Q’s about the church. So we might start teaching him again. That would be nice. But the other things that have been happening this week were Halloween things. I made 2 jack-o-lanterns. My 1^st one was sweet it was a wolf. I took pictures of it so you can see it. I didn’t take pictures of the 2^nd one. But we went to the wards trunk or treat. Elder Conover and I were the chili judges. I don’t know if I ever want chili again. The next day was sooooo bad. The toilet was my friend. I dressed up as the C.I.A. witch is Christ In action. I thought that was pretty funny. But as for Halloween my comp and I passed out candy at a member’s house. That was fun. People don’t say thank you any more. How messed up is that. And the one last big thing we did this week was we went to the Deanna Rose farmstead to do some service. It was a lot of fun. We got to go all the way over to Overland Park to get to do that. 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.
