"Shooting Up Prayers..." Feb. 28, 2011

im better now that i know allie is doing better. Ive been kinda wiped out maybe because I've been fasting and I don't know... ive been pretty worried for LeBaron too. but if he feels she will be okay, she will be. im sure jameson is shooting up prayers in his togolic language, the hungarian tongue has added voice to our pleas. (Trev's district, MP and Sister Baughman have all been praying) And He is listening, and is answering. I just hope everything turns out okay with Allie, it's been on my mind like crazy and I've been really down since I found out. President called and said if you need to talk to someone just give me a call. I don't usually let someone call home for something like this but it seems that she is really close to you and your family. and she really is like my second mom growing up. I hope Trevor (Elder LeBaron)is comforted. We're praying for her, Hungarians are praying for her and people around the world are praying for her.
Marina Orme will be coming in at the next transfer, March 15 or 16. Oh ya, I forgot to tell you that last week we taught on the exact same thing on the exact same day. It was on Service, I taught on service and you (mom)taught on service. Pretty cool, however thousands of miles apart we are.
My companion has been sick. So I was just calling and inviting people to the activity. I had called everyone so I thought who else should i call? Started calling our contact list. There was this one guy we lost track of and I kept wondering, what the heck, why can't we get a hold of him. So I had this feeling that I should call him and that he would pick up. And I kept thinking to myself this is just going to bet one of those cool missionary stories, but sure enough I called him and he picked right up. He said, when are you coming my way, you coming today, you come tomorrow? I was just like, my companion is sick, tomorrow is not good but we can come on Monday. He said, alright! I was afraid he had dropped off the face of the earth. I guess he had just been working a lot and we had been calling at bad times. One of our ladies is still sick with an acute migraine... If you have any way to help with or fix that...? (sounds like she could use our prayers too!) The light and noise pounds her head. Our 20 something year old kid is really cool and going pretty good still. I've been cleaning ...it has been pretty boring with my comp sick. I started writing a song just randomly, the words just came to me, I have about 70% of the song on paper right now, it's about learning to depend on others for help. When it gets done I will send you a recording.
i think i gotta get going, i love you guys, im glad allie is doing good.

Very Blessed...It's a Gift - 2-21-11

its absolutely amazing. i am just loving my mission now. we dont get 35 people baptisms like jamer but i was talking to Dr Simenson, he asked how the work was going, he asked if there are any missionaries that dont get at least 1 baptism. he said that half the missionaries where he had just served a senior mission go home without getting a baptism. That was in england. we are doing alright according to me. Things are moving and i have been very very blessed to see this happen lately, its a gift, and nothing else. We have several investigators, they are all humble and will bless this ward in great ways.

The back thing is in my mind resolved, for real! the most simple thing that has been the greatest break-though in back pain treatment. I have been talking with the world's best, no lie, the number one, haha this is what it is. This solves it.

Thank You .... 2-14-11

Trev has been connected to a back doctor, Dr. Simonson, who was just finishing the end of his mission in Europe.
From Trev: Yeah, this doc knows whats up, 1 in 10 in the world. hahaha pretty lucky.... its just to push the disc back, it wont be this intense all the time
I had a cool experience while sitting at the sacrament table. I had the opportunity to thank Heavenly Father for the sacrifice of his son.
So i have a cool story, so today, we had a program at 11 so we did some work and took those hours earlier in the day so we could relax the rest of the day. so we went to our program before we got there we were waiting at the door of the building, a lady came by delivering food, its common here, take out delivery lunches, then she went in a minute later we did also, we pushed the elevator button, it came down, she was in it, it had pulled her back down on her way up. about a half an hour there. hit the elevator button. that same lady was on her way down. got her number, told her this wasnt an accident. Perfect timing. cool huh?along with that. the lady maybe wasn't that interested but there was a younger kid that took interest. hopefully we will meet with him later. yeah, the kid took an interest in the Book. i can see him changing, which doesnt seem apparent if you look at him, but i felt like he gave a crap haha if you know what i mean. some people are just like yeah, god.... great. i think the book called to him
we shopped for food already, most of our night will be making tortillas and stuff, thats right i can make homemade tortillas. and everything else. hahahaha you are gonna be pretty surprised when i get home what i can do., hahahaha we call that ÜGYES here... haha skilled/skillfull
Mom said, "We plan to have you feed us for the first month after you get home ... until you get a job, we will have you WorK for your KeeP! ;) So it sounds like Heavenly Father is still helping me by sending you good feelings and letting you know I love you... does he still let you feel it....? My Love to you?
Trevor said:I have felt it more lately than ever. I feel so close to you, and am so grateful for who you are. I have been blessed to see how blessed i am because of you. I love you too. Im on my way. I hope to bring more honor to you through the work i can do here. I dont want to be anywhere else in the world right now. I have to get going.

Wherefore didst thou fear... 2-7-11

We had a meeting with this one guy who asked us about receiving answers/inspiration. i told him about the time i gave amber a blessing. What i said and not even knowing the situation. I almost started to cry right there in the coffee shop, he was moved...
we could tell. he commended us for being such spiritual people at such a young age. he is a potential priesthood holder. potential branch President. no lie.this is a guy we have been meeting with lately.
i sure am. i talked with president friday on the phone. i felt down, i felt like the biggest burden with everything that had happened with me... and that were happening. he said i have no right to fear. and it took me right back to the MTC. i heard those exact words. its crazy how things work. i wrote in my journal that night, i do have purpose for being here. The Lord needs me to do something. And now the phrase "Wherefore didst thou fear" ring in my ears loud and clear. i am supposed to be here. for 2 years.
Paul is like one of my all time favorites. He knows how to throw down. Corinthians. Dang.
Hey! can you read more of Grandpas history to me?? I loved listening to that, i listened to it again last night... i really like just hearing about him. I wear his ties on the tough days, yours too, the ones you bought for me.
yeah, i actually just talked to a guy from Montana today at mcdonalds haha he was with a guy from Australia they were watching this horse riding bow shooting thing i talked to them about hunting and stuff cause they were in camo haha i told him i lived in utah, the montana guy said thats your problem.... haha anything happen with the population management yet??
yes i will be fine haha thanks mom, i love you so much, take care! enjoy DC!
