Dear Parents,
This week was
slower but still good. We didn't have a ton of appointments but we met
with some of the Bishops in the other wards to discuss how to work with the
YSA’s in their wards. We got some good input and are going to contact some of
the inactive ones this next week. Some of them are only children of
record and haven't been baptized yet. We also just had a call from Elder
Nockai. He is serving in this zone and had a referral for us. A YSA kid
who said he wants to join the church! He is dating a member but hopefully
he is still sincere. I is out of town right now. He is going to be gone
for a couple of weeks which is always worrying but we hope that as we stay in
contact over the phone that we can continue to encourage him in his
progression. Dstill hasn't been able to meet and we are losing hope
that he is ready right now.
I can't wait
to see the house. I wish I was there to help. Even more I wish you were
here to help with our place. It is in terrible shape and pdays much more
packed now that we are near other missionaries again. Oh well, I'll
probably get it clean by the time I leave.
My new
favorite thing is watching guys in the ward try to flirt with the girls.
Some kid will walk in to
sacrament meeting and spots one of the girls. He'll dither for a moment
and try to work up the courage and then go over and sit next to her. So
far so good. Now he just has to open his mouth and say something smooth
and cool... and then he starts talking about anime. We have a weird
ward. Its a lot of girls from Utah with soccer scholarships and then a
bunch of older guys who are looking for "a girl who will just love them
for who they are". The dynamic is pretty funny.
I made maple
bacon cookies this week. They were weird but good. Thanks.
Cool to hear
about Mariah.
Sounds like
Nathan is going to beat me home.
Sorry, but I
can't think of anything very interesting that happened this week. Love
you all,
Elder Stapley
