Staying one more transfer!

Hey hey!

So some good news for me last night! we got transfer calls and Elder Eversole and I found out that we will get the chance to serve one more transfer together! That makes me super stoked because I will be in this area for all the holidays and i LOVE the people here! This week has been pretty awesome!
There has been alot going on this week. It has been a good one as far as the work goes. We have done alot more english work this week then anything else but it has been amazing. Saturday we were able to set a baptismal date for a 17 yr old named Cody. He is friends of Josh, Julie, and Edward. We have been teaching them alot and they came to church yesterday. It has been amazing to see how well they are doing with learning the gospel.
Today, It is Elder Lee's last day in the mission! It does not feel real that he is leaving! haha. I have grown to love this guy. I guess that is what happens while on the mission though. To say goodbye we have decided that today we are going to have a game of dodgeball! I am super stoked for it! The youth dont have school today and so that means that they get to come play with us!
We have also been playing soccer once a week and it has been a total blast! It has made me feel like i am not as fat as i look, tricking my body that i am working out... even though when i am running i feel fatter then i look! haha.
As far as the other work that has gone on... well it has been tough but we are pushing right along. We are praying to find some more people who are ready and willing to recieve the gospel. wish us luck.
So lets see, last night... I was about to plan for today when josh gave us a call. The first thing he says to me is, "did you know that the MLS finals is tonight?" when he said that i felt someone place a dagger in my heart that i was not watching it! then he goes, "reason i call is because i recognized the jersey on the screen, It is your team against L.A. Galaxy." After that, I felt the dagger twist! haha, I couldn't believe the finals was already here and on top of that... real salt lake in them! I am just hopeing that they one so i can have some west coast pride! haha. josh is going to tell me when he shows up for dodge ball.
This week we did alot of service, We were able to help a wonderful family named the Dawsons who feed us every sunday repaint and remodel a living area next to their home. We were also able to help the bishop out in his home. He recently bought a new home and he needed some construction crew. I'll tell you what... I stink at construction but i guess I sorta learned how to dry wall. haha.
I have been having a blast on my mission. It has been forever since I have seen a baptism but i know that the lord will provide sooner or later. I am trying to just be patient and not rush people to the font! I dont like seeing people go inactive. That is one of the biggest heart breaks i see as a missionary. I am working real hard to reactivate some good families!
anyways, Francys... I am sending that SD card today in the mail. I hope you all like the pictures. Oh, and I would love to see what my blog looks like... you can just email it to me. I laughed hearing about James's school catching fire, I couldn't help it though... In utah you stay in elementary untill 6th grade. so it made me laugh how he didnt want to leave middle school.
Oh good news... We got a ping pong table for our church building! haha. that means that we are going to have some sweet matches of ping pong. Josh also decided that we should make a ping pong movie. I told him I'm down with that... so i'll send it when i get done. anyways... cant think of anything else really. so be safe everyone! much love!
