It threatened to be so hot again last week, then cooled off this
week...I don't particularly want to suffer the summer again, but it does have
some perks...like water tastes a lot better, and the soaked (in sweat) days
make for good journal entries and memories ;)

| Caught in the rain! |
Elder Jiang and I are still happy and healthy here, and the work
is going well, we were able to help a-lot of the cool individuals we've met
recently feel the spirit and accept Baptismal Goals. We though, outside
of these individuals, are very concerned and hopeful for several families we
are teaching. We hope and pray they can feel the Spirit as well,
prioritize their lives, and bring their family righteously into the
Eternities!!! Not least of those families is the Zone family,
we are still going strong and working to inspire
and lift our zone missionaries!!! It's going well!!!
One of our friends disappeared, very sad. Last week his
cell phone just became somebody else's, super weird. The new guy doesn't
know him, doesn't have any idea, and doesn't speak great chinese, so I think he
is like a Phillipino or Indonesian worker...prob indonesia because he speaks no
English either...anyways we have to hunt for our old Bro. on the streets now,
but no luck yet.
The other came to Conference. Then we met him again just
last night and taught the Word of Wisdom, the Law of Chastity, and the Law of
Tithing all in one...he loved them. And he will have Elder Smith
interview him on Thursday at noon!!! Pray for his continuing progression,
he's great!!! :)
PY CAME TO CONFERENCE!!! We brought him a poster from
the Ward, and then we invited him to come on Saturday...and he did. Now
some members will be in contact!!!
A sister sitting across from me, Sister Hong (Lisa), a
single Mom of three kids, very nice and hard-working but also very funny,
thought me watching conference in the back with my wool socks was
hilarious...so she took a picture, and I had her email to you instead of
me!!! Glad you got it. We've finally had some wet rainy days
recently, hence the wool socks!!!
Conference was so so so so so so good, I think it always
will be, but it's up to the individual what they will take out of it!!!
I especially loved Elder Michael Ringwood's talk about
Shiblon and Zone leaders (or not)...it was a great reminder to be good people,
no matter our circumstances! So important!!! I loved Uncle
Pearson's Talk too, Every day every day every day!!!!! So well
put!!! Then Poor president Monson, yes, his body's hurting, but he was so
funny!!! I also really loved Elder Cook's address: He talked about us
following Christ like an obedient and beautiful sunflower, then he also
coincidentally talked about an Uncle Vaughn (not Ransom) who was killed at sea,
very touching. Going on to say FAMILIES are the thing,
everything!!! So true!!!! I loved his testimony, he also said the
Church is Stronger than ever, quelling doubts/rumors...now let's just keep
getting stronger!!!
Meet in EUGENE?!?!?!?!?! SO COOL!!! No Pasco,
yeah bummer, but Oregon will be sweet...I bet Coach Mahoney is especially
excited! Rock it Trev, and Own that 15 pole, you got it!!!!! I
didn't try it early enough in the season, and it bit me at state...ahhhh, but
you got it, jump hard!!! Love DRew
Feel free to snag me in Seattle...as far as I'm
concerned, I'm yours to snag!!! As long as I'm with you, I'll be fine
anywhere. And as for a missionary at a track meet...you bet I'll do it!!!
I'll ride a bike from Provo to Spokane just to have Easter
with you Mom and Dad!!!
And Conference touched on many things, not the least of
which it looks like, yes...looks like I should get married when I get
back...but not before Kyle for sure, I'll follow his example of dating well and
gentlemanly :)
You bet we met with J this week, he himself is great, but he
associates with some bad influence friends, not in bad substances, but just
apathetic lazy friends, so please pray he will follow the spirit and hit his
goal of May 9 for baptism!!!
Love You,
Love Drew
