September 10th Letter

HELLOO!!!
Breakfast actually isn't too exciting. Normally cereal and a muffin or something. But he have found a cool way to microwave an egg. To cook you have to have ingredients, and when you're only in an area for 6 weeks, and meals are quick so you can study, write letters, or sleep. But I'm eating well, always have some apples or carrots or something. Did you tell Senora Modrich and Mr. Purkiss about my story yet? I hope so. Dang, so the questions you're writing/proofreading are gonna be in a book? That's pretty sweet. The funnest thing? Hmmm, i don't know, its all been great, there's been little awesome things here and there, but i really think that its all great, so nothing really sticks out. Yeah, I'm only in the YSA ward, our area is huge! it covers 3 family wards. Most of the time when we tract into someone pretty good they're not qualified for YSA so we have to pass em over the the family ward elders. So Anthony is doing well? I'd really like to hear from him, tell him to write me a letter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i really want to hear from that kid! What did he tell you? Did you get my letter yet? Hmmm, suggestions for baby boy? No clue. I like Cody personally. :D SO i was gonna send you some awesome videos of me lip syncing to music in the car, but the file size was too big, i'm trying to edit in on my camera. hopefully it works. Yeah, i read that article by John Bytheway, it was pretty sweet. you should check out the month before that, page 24. ITS JAYNI!aghhhhh that was so cool to see! I recognized her sisters names and then saw the author. totally nuts. The pictures even kinda looks like her and her family. autumn eating canned food?! what the hey? you're gonna become a crazy cat lady! hahaha. ooooohhhhh BYU i miss it so much. We have a guy in the ward that sends us a text message about the score. Maybe you could send some stats and highlights......That's good to hear that Nanny's getting stronger! I miss the fam a whole bunch. Well, here's the list of things i made throughout the week of stufff to tell you.

Carl-We tracted into carl and he told us his faith in Christ was very weak, we asked why and he invited us in! We taught him a first, and told him about our church. The spirit was way strong, but then his friend came in and asked him something, they had a weird couple of minute long conversation so that made things weird. He was way solid, but after that it felt weird with the spirit kinda gone. and it kinda ended there. We're gonna go by in a couple of weeks and see how he's doing.

Are you really there?-In bed, and after a somewhat hard day, the primary song came into my mind, A child's Prayer. I kind of offered a prayer with that first line, "Are you really there?" INSTANTLY, i felt warm and a great feeling of peace came over me. He's really there, I know it.

CES Fireside- Jeffrey R Holland spoke so it was naturally amazing. You guys should watch it. It talked about why we go through trials and D&C 121-123. Those are amazing chapters!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Carla-The sisters who were in the area before us were teaching Carla a bit, and elder page wasn't able to get a hold of her all last transfer. Just this last week we FINALLY got a hold of her and set up an appt. It went really well. She's 19, smokes, lives with her boyfriend and runs a painting business. She is really friendly, always invites us in and is open. During the appt she kinda started to cry because she realizes that she isn't living her life as she should, or as God would have her live it. I feel really good about her and her desire to learn more.

Tyler #1- He's REALLY progressing, know's the Book of Mormon is true, and all. Its just his tie to his old church that's really holding him back. But he is WAY solid, at fast and testimony meeting he said he felt the urge to go up!!!! oh that would've been awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tyler #2-a smart kid with a silly beard. I've only met with him once, but he answers his own questions, has already had anti stuff delivered to him but he doesn't believe it! yesssssssssssss score one for the good team. He's a solid kid as well.

$-Can you transfer some money to my checking account? I think its all in savings, so it still won't work as a visa card. And that'd be nice to have for purchasing clothes and stuff.

Bobsledding-STILL a dream of mine. Looking at Olympic Park brings back memories of pretending my tie tack was a bobsled and riding it through the creases and folds of my pants during church. I WILL BE AN OLYMPIC BOBSLEDDER!

Object lessons- Elder Page and i were talking about lessons, and could you guys send me some of your ideas for object lessons? super.

Well, we're off to go shopping, I love you guys and miss you. I have that family picture Of you guys, chris katie and the boys on my wall, so thats fun. Keep it real!
Elder Crippen
