A Little Frustrated, but Pressing Forward & Learning


 I guess he can add this to one of his new talents he's learned in the field.  
Always so pretty there.  I hope one day I can see what he has witnessed with the beautiful scenery.

You can tell that he is just as excited to talk to us in a couple of weeks as we are.  He is learning to be tolerant of another somewhat lazy companion and thinking he is supposed to learn something from this.  He'll get it, I'm sure of it.  He had several baptisms and he was truly meant to be in this area, a place that had not seen any progress for months before he got there.  Love him so much and can see the growth and changes in him each email.  I wish he'd send more pictures.  That is definitely one thing I will ask him about when I talk to him.  Other than, things are progressing just as they should be I think.  Enjoy...

Well family how are you doing first of all i would like to say can you believe solo 2 more weeks and we will be skyping it up i was talking to anderson and we both agreed at christmas and this time goes so slow cause we just wanna talk but itll come i know it im not so worried but ya my username is bridger.clayton pretty easy right the best thing here ill add a friend thing and then next week at about this same time like 2 oclock pm we can use it to chat back and forth not on video but like chatiar if thats a word anyways ya.

Hello Pal. Hope this finds you well and happy and getting used to your new comp, being district leader and having a wonderful week. This week seems to have flown by and I will let you know what's been happening.

The biggest at home news is the Jazz are in the playoffs. We were able to go to the game of all games on Tuesday evening to see them play. If they lost they would have been done, win, took them to the playoffs. And win they did. It was a fun night, a sea of Jazz jerseys and the place was loud as it ever is. I think they say the Jazz fans are one of the loudest in the NBA. Today they played the Spurs and they are probably going to be done fast. They might win one game, but the Spurs are so much older of a team and more talent. They did win them in regular season, but it was when the three top players did not even play. Tim Duncan being one of them. Oh well, it's fun. The Jazz are going to be good given a few years under their belt.

We did start something new about 10 days ago. We have struggled with family prayer and I really know how important it is and so we now do High of the day and Low of the day each evening and end with prayer. It is great to talk about our days and see what makes each of us Hi/Low. We all agreed the Jazz game was definately the high that day. And we have had everything from your emails as highs, to bad school lunch as the low. And then we end with family prayer. Usually it's about 9:30/9:45 so you can look at your clock and know that we are meeting as a family and thinking of you and praying for you as a family at that time every night.
Stetson's low one day was that his wisdom teeth were taken out. He's actually done very well and will most likely not go to school in the morning, but should be back to normal on Tuesday. He doesn't seem too swollen, I sent you a picture, he didn't want me to but I wanted you to see him. I think he is bored and hoping to be able to drive. I told him his car is probably wondering what the heck, he hasn't even started it for 3 days...weird.

How are the baptisms and investigators coming. We pray that these people will listen and accept your message. How's the gym, still going. I have been going back to Four Pillar at 5:15 a.m. It is so early, but it is easier to fit it into my schedule. Tomorrow/today Kristy Feller is going with me and I'm excited to have a buddy again. Always makes it easier.

Thanks for being such a great missionary and son. I couldn't be more proud of you and all you are doing. I am so looking forward to hearing your voice and especially your Spanish. I can't tell you how many times I have watched the video you sent. I love it, and you.

Hope you have a wonderful week, stay safe & be obedient. We continue to pray for you every day. Thank you for blessing our family and others through your service. We are truly blessed and watched over as I know you are too.

Love always,
Mom
