mail/cool stuff - Sept.16, 2004

Hello! All right so I just logged on to Ldsmail.net. If you can't already tell my address is ice59@ldsmail.net.  A few rules before I go on.  I can only email you guys, but anyone can email me.  So you can tell people to email me.  I will only be able to answer them through snail mail.  But hey, it's alright.  Ok, on to the cool stuff.  My companion is Elder Stokes from Springville, Utah. He seems pretty cool so far for someone from UTah.  He does say "totally" and "sweet" alot but, what are ya gonna do.  My first area is in the Woodinville 2nd Ward.  It is actually pretty fun being a new missionary.  It's especially fun when a member asks how long you've been out and you say a couple hours.  That's a feeling I won't get in a while.  My P-day is Thursday, or today and so I'll only be able to mail you on this day.  If you want to email me though, I'll be able to read it all on thursday, just remember that I will only be able to be at the library for an hour, so not too much. Yesterday, my only day of full missionary work was actually cool.  Both of us are new in the area so we drove around and met some of the members and less active families.  Then we went *gasp* tracting.  It is filled with ups and downs.  Actually only 3 people were really rude with us, and even then they weren't horrible.  It didn't get me too down, although it might wear on me if it's the same thing for two years.  My companion says that we had a good tracting day, however.  One lady took a book of mormon and said that she would like to come to church and take the discussions, another lady was washing her dog, but said we could come back next week and took a Joseph Smith Pamphlet.  Another man took a Book of Mormon, but I'm not sure if he was serious, my comp thinks he was, so I'm going to go along with that.  It is really weird living on your own with your own money.  It actually feels like a job.  I work for the Lord and give Him my time and energy and he pays me with a place to live(or sleep as the case may be), and $130 a month.  It feels cool to be able to go out shopping and buy things just for yourself.  We wen't shopping and I am going to buy Whole milk!  I'm so happy, I don't have to drink milky water anymore.  We have a dinner appointement almost every night in this area, It is pretty ritzy.  My companion and I went to dinner at the bishop's last night and he had never been in a house that nice.  It actually wasn't even the best house I've been in at home.  After dinner(which was a 2-course, served meal), we went and met some of the youth at the opening social.  It seems like every high school age boy in the area has hair like Cody Teerlink or Cole Lovelady.  It's not bad though.  So far I'm doing fine and working hard, thanks to my companion.  Of course, it's only been 1 day.  I look forward to hearing from you next week.  If you want to send anything, (no pressure) my apartment address is: 17920 140 Lane NE 143 Woodinville WA 98072, the 143 is an appartment number.  I love you all so much and I miss you all. Bye!

P.S. Would you please E-mail Kyle and tell him that he can reach me at this email address now, his email is roman_8_0@yahoo.com


P.P.S. So are my letters easier to read than HD's?
