Week 33- March Madness is Making Me Mad

March Madness is making me mad because I'm missing it! I hear everybody in church talking about the games and I can't help but then daydream about basketball! I miss it so much! My comp is good!  Elder Krulish my ZL is good. Elder Gray is good and Elder Wood is a college bball player so pday basketball is so fun! I'm jumping really high now I'm going to send you a video of me throwing it off the backboard to myself and cramming it! I'm trying to tomahawk so I'm going to keep lifting so I can!
 Yesterday at church the beautiful music director for the hymns asked me to conduct the music for her next Sunday.  Willingly I said yes!! I wish I would of  said, "I'd do anything you asked" hahaha! She's so pretty. :)  We did exchanges with the AP's and I went with Elder Gray who was my ZL in Brighton Colorado! We had a good time.  He helped me a lot,  especially talking with everyone we see!  I am  working on becoming a heat seeking missile! When a person we come in contact with  boom..I'm there. talking.   That way we  give everyone the opportunity to hear our message and you have more of a chance finding the people that will listen. We have been talking to a lot of people recently but still trying to find the ones who will actually receive us! It is tough but again I won't ever give up!

   I passed the sacrament in church! I'm so tall compared to all the little deacons! I hardly remember being that small!

This week has been absolutely beautiful! one day it reached 80.  I was sweating haha! To be honest Denver is not a bad place to live.   It is warm most of the time! I kept thinking of you dad when you were shoveling the snow because I know how tough that is and your an old man haha! I bet Mr. Lapp was a big relief!  I also kept thinking of Saturday's  while the games were being played that  you had the tv on doing chores around the house while Izzy was at dance and I would be doing homework and then at night you relaxing on the recliner chair and watching some sports! I could picture that scene in my head all day! I miss it but this is even better!

I'm starting to really get into the scriptures and slowly I'm actually starting to fulfill my patriarchal blessing by memorizing scriptures! They have been popping in my head during lessons and remembering where they are just not remembering all the words!  I'm getting there! When I wake up in the morning I think about my studies right away and figuring out where I'm going to be in that day! I feel like its just waiting for the thanksgiving feast at grandma's house! "feasting upon the words of Christ" I want more and more of it. In fact sometimes despite how tired I usually am at night I just put my nose in the scriptures and start feasting! It's awesome I love the scriptures! I can't wait for general conference! Then soon after I will be turning 19! crazy! Then four months after that I will be at a year! too fast too fast!

When I think of home sometimes I just get worried what I want to do with my life.  I hope I can figure it out in the next year and four months.   
Other then that transfers are in a week.  The  ap's say I will take over as district leader most likely and Elder Reynolds will leave because he has been her for 2 transfers already and he will become a zone leader! Anyway a lot to look forward to!




Don't worry about sending me stuff.   I'm okay out here!  The members feed us every night! oh and I met a family whose son is Levi Savage in 17 miracles!!!! His sister is in our ward and her parents were in town so it was pretty cool.

I love you!  Have a good week!

 The other night after we were done working we saw this rabbit.  We threw a rock at it and killed it! Yikes! We didn't have a big dinner so we carried it across the intersection by our apartment and took pics with it skinned it and cooked it and ate it:)

 My shoes are trash too, they give me blisters and the bottom of my shoe is completely torn.  They did me good for 4 years!
