weekly update

HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII FAMILYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This week was great! The last zone conference was great I am still learning from it the more I ponder about it. It has helped strengthen Elder Sherrard's and my companionship. Infact Elder Sherrard wrote a song about the whole thing it is really good! He'll have to show it to you sometime. It's called "The Pathway to the Promise."

On Friday, Elder Hanchett came to Southport on exchange. We had a day Booked with Appointments we ended up skipping Lunch and only having a Half hour lunch. But it felt good to know that we had so many appointments to go to. And they were all really good Investigators! I'll skip Lunch anyday to have a day like this! Luke was one of the Great appointments. He was really good. I wasn't there when they contacted him on the street because i was on exchange in Wigan with Elder Winward, But Luke stopped Elders Sherrard, Caballero, and Bore on the street and was curious about the church. He was willing to keep all the commitments we left him. He wants to go to church but he has work. He wants to go so much that he was willing to go to a night time church if we had one.

After the Exchange we went to helping hands. At first our investigator, Jamil, wasn't planning on going but we taught him about the spirit of service. And by the end of the lesson he was eager to go to the helping hands project. The project was great! We Got to Play in the dirt (Dig Trenches for a natural irrigation System). Jamil also had a great time. when we took a break to have lunch. Jamil was really eager to get back to work. Not only was the project fun, but the spirit was there. I felt so good to be able to help out.

Southport is amazing! The weather has been great. Better yet the people are great! And for the most part people pretty open to our great message. The Ward members are so nice to us and we try to help them as much as we can.

Elder Sherrard and I are doing great. Everyday is a learning experiance for me. Missionary work is the best work ever!

Don't Worry I just sent a Fathersday card! I didn't forget. Sorry it's late again dad!

That's so cool to hear about zak. I will definately write him! Jeff's Smoked pork is amazing! To bad missed out. South port has a ward, it is called the southport ward. You can search for it on lds.org i think. We have had many dinner appointments. Yesterday we were at the Bishops house and we had Turkey, Mashed Potatoes, Yorkshire Pudding, and veggies.

Sister Bullock had a training about eating healthy last thursday. Mom you would be proud of the way i have been eating recently!

Thanks for your support everyone. Keep me updated! you all!
