| The Chadwick fam! haha we taught a lesson in there home every week for 6 months! so awesome I love them!!! |
They told us about some
crazy changes and stuff.... drum roll.... we aren't aloud to wear backpacks
anymore... haha the church instead asks us to use man purses... or "saddle
bags" that stinks... so ya I have 3 months to find one that I like to
replace the good old backpack.. but the cool thing is the reason we wont wear
backpacks anymore is because we wont be carying that much materieals any more!!
because by the end of this year we are going to be a completely digital mission
and each companionship will have an ipad for record keeping and teaching!! haha
thats pretty crazy! other things changed now to like we can wear kaki pants
now!!! haha I know sweet!!!! I'm pretty excited lol! but ya they just really
relaxed the dress code and the church is letting more personality through in
the way we dress! haha still white shirts and ties though! but ya theres a
bunch of new stuff going on!

| And DOUG!!! At his goat cabin in the mountains!! - Holy hard it was to say goodbye to this guy but I love him so much! |
In the area we were without a car for a few days cuz
the other missionaries put a nice dent in it.. so we walked in the heat and we
were blessed for it! we were able to teach so many LA members!!! it was pretty
crazy! literally everyone seemed to be home! We also found a guy who invited us
in for some water and asked us for a BOM!!! That was legit!! haha too bad he's
moveing in a couple weeks but he is just full of questions!
We taught a coulple
kids named Chloe and Trevan who are 11 and 13 and holy cow they are so
prepared! They are like spiritual giants and have a way better understanding of
the gospel then I did at their age! They will get baptized soon! the only
problem is they go to church with their grandparents up in Burley Idaho soo it
makes the whole baptiseing them in this ward kinda tricky! they are so solid
and read and pray everyday though! That seems to be the case with alot of the
young people we teach in this area! The kids are thirsty for it and have to
drag their parents along! It goes to show that this comeing generation is even
more rightous and ready for the world then mine was! ummm The family we live
with is super awesome!

| Me and Mallory and the Royers!! I love those ppl!! |
The Powells have a son on a mission and take super good
care of us!! we had a big breakfast with them this morning on their poarch over
looking the valley which was super cool! We also tuaght a guy this week named
Chase who promised his wife that they WILL have a Temple marriage so you can
say he's pretty golden! he's super cool to and will get dunked here pretty
quick! Me and Perdue have been getting along super well! I love that kid! he is
an awesome teacher and is just a spiritual giant! I think we'll be able to have
some good sucsess together!

| Me and one of the Royers |
Our wards are really good! Bro Black is a ward
missionary in one of our wards and he seriously would come out with us every
day! he spent probably a solid 6 hours teaching lessons and driveing us around
this week! I've never seen such a devoted member missionary! His love for
everyone is just incredible to! He tells us literally everywhere he takes us
home much he loves the people we are going to see and it show in our lessons!
We started teaching a new family this week! Terrian Jenkins and her son Tory
and his friend Suga Shane Moses lol haha he's like the only black kid in
Jarome! but they are awesome and super solid! They have had a really rough life
and Terri says that literally everytime we come over its an awnser to one of
her prayers!! wow! its really feels good when someone understands how much you
want to help them and how much the message of the gospel will do for
them!
That's about it! We have been super blessed in
this area and I know its because how hard we are working to be deligent and
obedient! It crazy how much Heavenly Father loves us! We gave a blessing to a
woman last night and as soon as we walked in ther door the spirit was there and
I felt this unbeleavable love that can only come from a loving heavenly
father! Bro Black gave the blessing and it was really powerful! Its incredible
that the power to administer to the sick is back on ther earth! It made me
really grateful for Dad how he was always willing and worthy to use use the
Priesthood to bless our family. I deffinitely want that for my future family!
I've seen to many broken homes who don't have access to that and it really does
affect everything!
I love you all so much! Share the gospel and all of that
jazz!
Love Aaron
