Week 48, Almost a year!!

Hello Family, Friends and fan club! Do ya miss me yet haha. so whats new with everyone? i hope it was yet another good week for everyone. sometimes it feels like i just write the same stuff over and over each week but thats ok i guess as long as i write. so this week for me was good so we got transfer calls and both myself and my comp are staying in the area and i'm district leader again. so we had district meeting on friday and i think and hope it went ok its kinda weird giving training to other missionaries but its fun too cause it gives me more stuff to study. so are one investigator that seemed to be doing really well dropped us this week which was pretty sad since we only really had the two who where progressing now we are down to one but hopefully she'll take the time to think more about what she has been taught and will take the time to pray so its ok and the members in our area are really keen to do missionary work so hopefully all the member visits and stuff we've been doing will pay off soon. its been a good week and the area is good i enjoy it and i love the people here being a missionary is the greatest the pictures are of us on are roof ha we got bored so we decided to be the angel moroni good times. hope all is well love you guys have a great week. love Elder Dalton

Another week has come and gone, Week 47!

hey family, How is everyone? i hope all is well this was a good week it was the last week of the transfer so today we get the transfer calls so i'll let ya know what happened next week. but this week we had a baptism it was a 12 year girl named honee-lee her sister storm got baptised the first week i was here so hopefully now the mum and the partner will get baptised next i didn't go to the baptism though cause i was on splits but i heard it was an ok one not the best though which is a bummer but that happens i guess i just don't think everything ran as smoothly as was planned but that happens but she got baptised so thats the important thing. but as for the best thing that has happened in the past year kbug would probably of been teaching and taking part in ellens baptism and to see her and tk make goals to get sealed in the temple and then to see her dad get baptised was really cool i will never forget them or that experience. and nothin is new in the mission except that a few really good missionaries finish and go home tomorrow which is kinda sad. but president is really good i like him i still don't hardly know him but he seems great and to kbug as for anything i need or want i don't know of anything when summer comes in about oct i'll probably ask for a few new white shirts but thats it but i don't need them yet thanks tho and dan and jesse looks like the chickens are getting quite productive now day i bet cinch enjoys gatherin the eggs. Two questions did anyone know where the baker name originates from? and dad have ya had any luck with getting a line of authority? love Elder Dalton

Week 46! ONE YEAR and 19 DAYS left!

dear family this was another normal missionary week which i suppose is a good thing. the beginnings of the weeks are really busy which is good we usually have 2 or 3 lessons a day which is awesome but the end of the weeks are slow for some reason so we are trying to think of ways to amp up the work. we had a touch tournament this weekend that was pretty good we had a pretty good turn out alot of members and investigators and it was good fun then we went from that to kevin's baptism which was good also one of the member boys in our area was baptised with him so that was really good tk and ellen came down for the baptism so i got to see them also which was good i really liked gettin to see them again and that was about it for this week we are playin touch and flag football today for pday so that should be real fun plus its raining so that'll make it even better. how is everyone doing? whats new? i saw a picture of dalton playing baseball on annies blog he sure has gotten big and grown up alot looks like all is well though and kbug said everyone had a good time at kyles and brits so thats good. the pics are of the baptism and then our district and then one of me and my comp in the background in our area haha i took it myself thats why its such a good picture ha hope ya enjoy it i hope all is well have a great week love Elder Dalton
