english connect

hello my sweet mommy!

no i didnt get the video of hunter......

the pictures of lainey cracked me up. she is getting so big its crazy! i never realize how fast time goes until i see pictures of her or logan and lincoln, because then i see how big they are and then it makes it real that a lot of time really has past since the last time i have seen them.! 

this week has been really good, i think it has been one of the funnest weeks of my mission! as a district we trying our best to get our english classes started this coming Friday so we have worked really hard to make that happen! we have had different activities going almost everyday last week, so that made it really fun! except since no one else has ever done this we have had to figure it out all on our own so that has made it really hard, but i think we are beginning to master it! we have to wear the yellow helping hands vests over our name tags because this will all be service orientated around the helping hands and then if people ask we can tell them we are missionaries. but some of the activities we have down, is me and sister fryer will take a dart board and some how get people to throw a ball at this dart board then give them candy and introduce the program (or we have done english quizzes with them) other companionship have done horse with a small basketball hoop, giving english names, water balloons, nerf guns and a bunch of random stuff! we have actually had a lot of success. just by our own finding ways as a group we have gotten over 100 numbers and out of those numbers right now we have 24 people signed up for a class and that is all just from a week of finding activities.

except to be honest it has been really sad to see how much more willing people are to talk to us when they cant see our name tags or when all we offer to them is a free english class. i have gotten more numbers last week then i have my whole mission. we all wish people were more willing to talk to us if only they knew how important the message we had for them was. but its okay it has still been fun, but dont worry i have a lot of pictures from all the activities, but sorry you wont see our name tags just the vests! 

our investigators for some reason the past few weeks have stopped progressing and dont really let us transition very well from the english part to the gospel part very well anymore so we sat down this week and decided maybe its time to drop them and to go out and do more finding. we decided to put our trust in the lord and let him lead us to the people who have more then just english interest (which is really hard to find here) but we know we can do it! 

well i love you so much and i hope you do great on your exam!!!
