Hey,
First I'll reply to your email so I don't forget to do that. That's exciting to hear about Kyle Baird. He's going to love it. And Ill keep an eye out for those sister missionaries. President Millburn said the Virginia mission is increasing in size so its cool to see so many people being sent here. They'll love it. :) My bike came with two extra tubes and tools for all the bolts and stuff but it doesn't have a repair kit. But I can get one for cheap at walmart though so I don't think you need to worry about it.
Yeah we are still in a 3some. transfers are near the end of August so things could change then. We'll see. And yeah they are great companions. They are both really good at teaching and talking to people. And they are nice and fun to be with. WE are good friends. So things are going well. We don't have any real cool stories this week though.
Oh but here's a funny story. Yesterday we knocked on this lady's door. We tell her who we are and stuff and we ask her we can teach her. And she says, "Well actually I'm kind of busy right now." So we are like ok, when is a better time? And she is like, "Well actually... I'm atheist." And we laughed and were like oh ok, well just out of curiosity, why are you atheist? And then she was like, "Well actually I just don't want to be Mormon." lol. We were laughing, and we were like, next time, just tell us your not interested. lol. It was funny.
oh and Elder Carter is from Colorada and elder Comer is from Utah.
I'm sorry church is stressful. But I'm sure you can handle it. :) I guess my only advice is to remember the Lord gave us a brain so we can think for our selves and he is not going to give us the answer to every question.
I'm glad you had fun camping. That sounded fun.
Well things are going well here. I'm trying to think of whats been going on. We found this one guy named Vernon. Whenever we get media referrals (when someone orders a dvd or BOM or something) we tract around the area because often times we are sent to an area and not a specific person. So we were tracting around the house and we ran into this guy named Vernon. He is an ex-marine who just got out of jail for the last 6 yrs. Idk what for though. But he also used to be a pastor but he wants to find a different church. So we have been teaching him and having him read out of the BOM and he really likes it. He also reads alot more than we ask him too. :) He wants to come to church too but hasn't yet because his wife had to work and he wants to go with her. So he is a pretty solid investigator so far. :)
And on the 3rd it was Elder Carters birthday as well as Annette's and Presidents Grimes. Happy Birthday by the way. :) So on the 3rd there was a birthday party (well we had cake and ice cream and then taught a lesson) for Elder Carter and me so that was fun. They had a cake with both of our names on it and wrote us each a card. So that made me really happy. :)
Well I have to go. I'm sending a memory card with pictures on it in the mail today. So you should get those soon. :) Thanks for the mail and emails.
Love Elder Larson
