Mama,
life has been good this week i had a pull up bar fall on my head and and it bled pretty good but its ok it wasn’t even bad but they had to shave a small part of my head so i’m wearing a hat now.. pretty funny. anyway we are having lots of success. people at church. things are going well. we had the same lesson that you taught on sunday thats so cool.
1-Best guess on when you’ll be home? 1.ish probably by july ___ at the latest i think.
2-Do you need anything? (We will be sending Alex a birthday pkg soon) 2.um… idk just the usual stuff is fine.
3-Biggest challenge? Blessing? 3.ish the toughest thing is when people don’t listen because of pride and blessing is seeing them baptised.
Special Question:
4:How do you answer people when they say we aren’t Christian? 4.well i tell them they are wrong because we are christians because we believe in christ.
Love Elder Flexy

Mama,
this week was… sweet… WE HAD A BAPTISM!!!!! yep i baptised TK yesterday it was sweet. and we are still working hard. i’m glad to hear that all is well in zion.
1-How are your investigators? 1.great we have some very good people coming up it should be fantastic.
2-Anyone we can pray for? 2. Z. and F.
3-Do you feel that you have a particular spiritual gift that helps with missionary work? If so, what is it? 3.ya i think getting people to see all the parts of what we are teaching come together.
4-Favorite scripture of the week? 4.well i’ve been studying the teachings of george albert smith and there is a story of when he gave his coat to a worker in the roads cutting the ice from the gutters it was very nice he is such a cool guy and he really loved everyone like Jesus did.
Special Question:
5-How can we deal with negativity, and not let it bog us down? (Elder Flexy didn’t answer this question. Maybe we just ignore negativity?)

love you! Love Elder Flexy

When we spoke with our son at Christmas, he told us about a senior couple serving in the same mission he is serving in. The senior couple have a blog. So of course I went to see if they had any pictures of Elder Flexy on their blog. Yep, they did. It was so fun to see pictures and hear about their experiences on their mission. I left a comment on their blog, and this is the email I got back today. (I dropped the names, and locations.)
———————————
 Sister,
     We are enjoying your fine son here in the R. area.  He has a difficult area and
is working hard.  N. is a small township about 20k from R. They have a
small struggling branch that the elders do everything for.  They track heavily and are a
visible presence in the community.  Elder [Flexy] is a good example and is repected and
we think highly of him.  Know that he is about his Fathers business and working so you have reason to be proud of him.
     Sister N. and I live near you, we are not on our mission.  We will look forward to meeting you when Elder [Flexy] reports his mission.  I believe we will be going home about the same time if I remember correctly.  We are glad that you visited our blog.  The best to you and thank you for sharing this great young man.
Regards,
Elder & Sister N.
———————————–
I was thrilled to get an email from them. What a neat couple. I’m sure they have made sacrifices to leave their home and serve Heavenly Father in another land. And I know they are loving my son. It just feels so great. Someday, I hope my darlin and I will serve a mission and be what this couple is to our son, to someone else’s son.

So here are a few questions?

2- Have you eaten anything interesting lately? 2. yep i ate tripe its cow intestines. it was pretty good actually.
3- Do you get dinner appointments? 3. not many.
4- How many investigators do you have right now? 4. twenty-ish.
5- Pick three words to describe 2011? 5. sleep, eat, and preach
Special Question of the week:
6- What should we do if there is a gospel question we have? What if we can’t find the answer to it?  6. research for your self ask someone that you trust and if you don’t get an answer… pray. james 1:5-6 never fails.

anyway life is good working hard.
