This week finally!!!!!

(LAST WEEK, I HIS MOTHER, GOT A EMAIL SAYING I WILL EMAIL MORE NEXT WEEK. That was all it said)

Family,

I couldnt email more because I spent 45minutes trying to email you pictures but your  email wouldn't accept them.This week we committed some one to baptism and he accepted. We finally found a new investigator and that is basically the only new things that have happend this week. please thank the young women of the dessert hills ward for all the snacks I enjoyed them. We just do the same things  there is nothing new here it is the same old stuff. I wake up, work out, shower, eat, personal study, companion study, then we head out the door. We go IQing and tracting for at least an hour and a half every day most days we tract for 2hours and then we visit less active, investigators and other appointments. On tuesday and thursday we go do service for 2hours at the rest home. On sundays I wake up, shower, eat, and then go to church in Owingsville, about (13 miles away). We then go and visit less actives and our investigators in owingsville. We then drive and see some less actives and investigators in sharpsburg, because of or mile restrictions we can only see them on sundays, then go to dinner at the Letchers. Sister Letcher letcher feeds us every sunday night, then we drive home. Owingsville is smaller then Mt.Sterling, and Sharpsburg is even smaller then that. Sharpsburg has one gas stations, one restraunt, and is getting a dollar general. Those are the areas we cover. On saturday we go to the flea market because we have a less active memeber who works there. Last saturday we were talking to him and he said he had something for us. So he dug through some stuff and pulled out a 1950's copy of the Book of Mormon so me and my comp. flipped a coin for it. I won it! It is really neat it is a missionary's copy it had a buch of old missionary teaching aids in it from the 50's it has a red cover and the angel moroni on it. That is basically my week.

another update

We have been told we aren't suposse to talk about investigators. I can tell you about people we run into like one preacher we ran into said "I don't believe in your faith your going to hell no one wants to hear your lies you JW". Then we told him we are mormons and he was like oh sorry. Then he told us he went to utah, to your visitor center it was a really cool place. We talked to him a little more. He said "I believe you mormons are right that their is a prophet on earth, but that joseph smith business is wrong". so we talked with him a little longer then left.  My companion and I cooked the raccoon and the turtle ourselves. kentucky is a very hilly place I will send pic next week. We go to the library to email. oh and every one in bath country is related it is crazy. We say do you know so and so and they are like yeah thats my grandpa and that persons moms cousin or what ever. Really you just ask how they are related to the Hattons or the Shrouts and they will tell you how they are related.

update

 

Eder Broomhead has been out for 14months. We do have a walmart in our town. The ward here is smaller then the one in NM. Transfers were on the 24th and I stayed in this area. The town I'm in has a population of about 7,000. Not a single on of them has ever heard of toothbrush or ever been to a dentist it seems. The weirdest thing I00 I have eaten: frog legs they were pretty good the tasted like fishy chicken wings, we had a member trap and kill a racoon for us, so we skinned it cooked it and ate it. Today we are going to catch turtles and going to eat them tonight. Every one says that turtle meat is super good so we are excited for that. oh and everyone here drinks Ale-8-one it is like stewarts ginger beer but better (like rootbeer).  It is weird here no one really has a particular religion they just go to the closest church. It is funny cause they will tell us "I don't believe most of what the preacher says but it's the closest church, so I go there. They also will say I go to that church cause it has the shortest service. I know the racoons can carry disease. Thats why we blessed it before we ate it. Lexington is the place that has horse derby's. Mt Sterling is around 7000 the next closest elders are in winchester and morehead. We teach about 20 lessons a week.

We are teaching a few part member families and some investigators we found tracting.  On p-days we wake up, work out, shower, breakfast, personal study, comp study, go email, shopping, lunch with Jim (is the non-member that has no desire to be baptized but loves talking to the missionaries and taking them to lunch), then home to clean, dinner, then to an appointment. That is pretty much our P-days. One of the hardest thing to teach people here is the word of wisdom because everyone smokes here. I wouldn't be suprised if I got cancer from all the second had smoke.  We had a great easter we went to one of the Morehead elders investigators house for dinner. Here dinner means lunch and supper means dinner, there is no such thing as lunch here. We had an easter egg hunt it was fun. Then they gave us Easter baskets filled with candy. Then me and my companion went to another easter egg hunt with our normal sunday appointment. It was really fun they fill half the eggs with candy and the other half with money. The friday before last the zone leaders blitzed us. Then last friday the district leaders blitzed us, so that was cool. I'm learning a lot and loving it. I have a zone conference on thursday in Lexington so that will be cool.  That is pretty much it. We usually email the same time on p-day, oh can u see if dad can get me the pocket size set of military scriptures?  Oh if you send me anything send make sure it will to me before the 21st if not wait to send it to me because that is the week of transfers. I miss you all.

Cleanup after the tornado

I'm fine on envolpes now. I got the package with the suit and jelly. It's pretty good it's about as hot as tabasco but the heat stays for alot longer. It was funny we did a blitz with our ZL's and I gave one of them some of the jelly. He was like its not that bad and then took a big old scoop of it. I then told him the heat has to build and with the ghost chile the heat stays. Water doesn't do anything and we didn't have any milk. When the heat hit he was freaking out it was funny. One of the areas of Lexington is not the safest area my trainner was in that area and was told it is recommended to carry pepper spray. I'm doing great I'm loving it here I love you guys and miss you all. We get fed about 2-3 times a week for dinner, and every week we go out to lunch with a non-member Jim. He is in his late 60's and has taken all the discussions, but he is trying to start his own non denominational christian church. He is a super cool guy he loves talking with the missionary's. He always tells us about how he saw motab 4 times live, he love motab. Last week before we went out to lunch Elder Broomhead gave him a motab cd and he was so happy it was funny. We missed saturdays sessions of General Confrence, because we were doing service. We got to leave mission bounderies to go to West Liberty KY to do tornado clean up. We spent the whole day picking up trash, cutting trees up and clearing them out of the way. It was incredible how much damage it did. You see pictures of stuff like that but you can't really understand how bad it is untill you see it in person. We got back in time to see the priesthood session. We are working with mostly less active part member families. One family we found while tracting and it is going really well. I miss you guys
(AWWWW  I love when they realize their family is Awsome and great, maybe still annoying but GREAT and he can miss us)

cameron.frisby@myldsmail.net   Is is email address. He can recieve emails, he isnt suppose to reply by email he will write you. I am sending him stamps to use for this purpose..... so he would love to hear from any of you.

 

 

I'm doing great and working hard. We tract everyday for at least 1.5 hours usually more. Last week we dropped alot of our investigators cause they weren't progressing. Now we are in the finding stage and are rebuilding our teaching pool. Right now we are working with alot of part member and inactive family trying to reactivate them and teach the rest of the family.  People here are really nice. No one has slammed a door in our faces or yelled at us. They will either listen, say maybe some other time or open the door and say they aren't interested. We did tract into an apostalic penicostal preacher and he was like I respect your dedication to your faith but you are wrong there is only one god. Jesus, GOD, and holy ghost are all the same person and he quoted one scripture. We informed him we weren't there to fight We told him we had and I had to stop myself from bashing with him. They said the last mission president said "don't bible bash with people, but if you do Win." but the current President says not to bash at all. 

If you send me a package send it USPS because they can't forward Fedex or UPS. It takes me like a month to get them if you don't send them USPS.

The MTC was fun, at times it felt like EFY, but it also felt like prison the last week I was in the MTC.  I kept running into josh it was fun. I made a lot of great friends.  The funniest thing I was sitting in the airport and I saw this guy starring at me with a big grin on his face. I was thinking to myself who is this guy but then he got closer and I realized it was Brady Bearnson. We talked for a little bit and he told me he had just got back from Kalabs wedding. He was also on our flight to Denver it was cool. The man sitting next to me told me about his mission. When we landed I talked to brady for a little bit then said good bye. We had a 2 1/2 hour lay over in Denver so my district and I got to know the other missionaries going to Kentucky. Then one of the missionaries decided it was a good idea to talk about how some highschool students tried to use bombs to high-jack a plane. I then had to point out that talking about people high-jacking plane with bomb isn't something to be talking about in the middle of an airport. luckly nothing happend and we were able to get on the plane. When we landed in Kentucky the mission president, his wife, and the AP's picked us up. We then went to the mission home where we got briefed  on the mission. We spent the night there then went to transfer meeting. I'm Serving in MT.Sterling Kentucky, it small, ghetto, and run down little town, but the people here are nice. My first day in the field we went tracting and visited some resent converts. My companion is Elder Broomhead and he is from Spanish fork, Utah. While tracting my companion says I have to knock this next door. When I knock on the door, a women comes to the door with a shotgun pointed at me. Then she starts yelling at me. This goes on for a bit, then my comp informs me this is the reccent convert. They do this to all the new missionarys in Mt.sterling. Then we went to a non member house for dinner and when the brought out the food it was all died green for a greenie. I only got one package from the mission home. Did you get my letter? Can you get me Erins and Caleb Roys addresses.  How are you guys doing? I need a few things a cammel back, my blue shoes, my suit, sunglasses , pic's of the wedding,  maybe some ankle wieghts, karch do me a favor and ask mitchell shields if he has gotten his call yet and give him my address so he can write me. also i'm good on junk food for a few months can u send me some simple recipes and real food?
Anyone wanting to send him simple recipes that would be great, Im not sure what kind of real food he wants me to sent but I have a feeling that real food doesnt ship well! We were so excited to have Brady run into cameron.. it made up for the fact cameron didnt call home from the airport! almost!
