25 August 2010

Sorry guys. Wednesday we went to the Rockies Braves game and didnt get back in time to email. And yesterday the library was shut down. No videos this week, but I really dont care if you put the videos on the blog or not.

I am staying in Evergreen for another six weeks and this is transfer number seven with my Vibe. hahaha Other than that we are working on moving where all our investigators are. They all live in between 15 and 40 miles away and to drive straight to their houses and straight back home it would take 235 miles. (we only get 250 a week) We found a house where they could house us and it would only be 61 miles to drive to all of their houses and back, but they were leasing their house, and they found out the owner defaulted and so now their house was just sold at an auction. YUCK! So we are trying to find another place. I am pressuring the Bishop, Mission President, Zone Leaders (who pressure the stake president who pressures the Bishop), Ward Mission Leader, Housing Coordinators, District Leader, and whoever I can to make sure we get a more efficient place to live. One thing I found in life is the more pressure you give from the most angles you can the more likely your plan is to succeed. And on top of that I discussed with the mission president the situation and asked for more miles. He said he'll give them to me for now the question is how much and he'll call back.

That is the issue that is on the forefront of our minds right now. We are teaching 6 families, but we are at the mercy of whoever can give us rides to do work so we cannot be in any way flexible at this time. It is kind of senseless to have weekly planning right now. We did that today and all of the points discussed in Preach my Gospel point to a need for us to move to be able to work with our investigators in that manner.

I hope that all is well back home.

Well I dunno what else to tell ya!

I love ya guys tons, and we'll talk soon.

Love,
Tom
