So to start off I'm getting transferred to Hopkinsville ky. And I'll
be staying with elder sanders. So no new companion. This week has been
pretty standard. Visiting a lot of people. Then on Thursday we got the
call that all 3 of us are being transferred and they are putting in 3
sisters here. So the past few days have been packing and cleaning and
saying goodbye to people. It will be fun to go to a new area with a
companion I already know. We're leaving Tuesday so dont send any
letters or anything till I figure out our new address. I don't know
anything else to say really about this week. I'm sure I'll have lots
to say about our new area next week.
 Love y'all

Man it sounds like you need some grandkids mom. (Talking of our McPhail family Easter picnic where Brycen and Paycen were the only children). There's no little ones
left. And by the way I do remember making those diaramas like paycen
made. This week was really fun. We got to go to a members farm this
week and feed and pet her elk that she has. Then she gave us some
antlers she had. Which is awesome. She also sent one home for me. So
if you get a package from Kentucky with an antler in it keep it. She
sent that so I could make a coat rack when I get back.

This last picture I'm just being a dork. Other than that it was a normal week. Today we get to go fishing and go on exchanges. So that's going to be really fun. I hope y'all have a good week. Love y'all

Hey mom. So we ended up watching conference (all 5 sessions) at the church. One of the things that stood out to me was from elder rasbands talkWe must act on the first prompting. When we second guess or even third guess our feelings we are putting off the spirit. If you follow that first prompting you will be right 9/10 times. First promptings are pure inspiration from heaven. 
So that is something I'm going to work on. Responding to first promptings. We didn't have any investigators really come to conference. I think a few watched it at home. Man brycen is like mini me. Man that is weird that Nate is 18 now. Which reminds me that I'm going to turn 20 this month. That is really bizarre. 
So this week... honestly it's hard to remember what happens during the week. It really starts to blend into one. The only things that were out of the ordinary were when we helped a member put some windows into the house he is building. Now you may say that's not hard. Well it is when these windows are 6 feet by 8 feet and weigh 200 pounds. It took 4 people to carry it and lift it in and 2 more to hold it and screw it in. Then the other thing was when we helped a neighbor. He was getting gravel for his driveway and he backed the dump truck driver into a pothole. So we came over and helped lighten the load and dig around the tires so a tractor could pull him out. We also got to go to the temple this week. It was really good to go. It was an all day thing sense it's a 3 hour drive each way. 
Other than that it was a normal week besides conference. I hope everything is good at home. Love y'all.

How ey mom. So this week was pretty good. So it was a bit hard this week.
We were low on miles so we had to bike a lot Wednesday we had to bike
20+ miles then Thursday we did 10-14 in freezing cold rain. But Friday
was good because we went to see a member and he is building a house.
It's gigantic. Even by the wests standard. It has 4 bedrooms 1 office
a game room/bedroom a living room and dining room and a possible
theater room. Now you'd say that's almost our house. But the living
room is the size of ours and kitchen/dining room combined that's also
a dance floor.  and then has a kitchen big enough to put a table in
and has a dining room. Each bedroom is bigger than yours and your
closet put together. The possible theater room is a big connecting
room with a dome ceiling. One of the bedrooms has a handmade
decorative wood floor with over 5000 pieces. And the member and his
father in law are building the whole thing them selves. Here's some
pictures.
Then on Saturday we got to help another member do some farm work and help put in a fence. And yesterday we got to go to the branch Presidant's house and have tocos and chocolate waffles and fried alligator tail. Which was really good. So our teaching pool is kinda scarce. weve had to drop people. but we found some new people last week so well follow up with them this week and ill let you know how that goes. It's been a pretty good week. I can't wait for your package. I hope all is well at home. Love y'all.

Hey mom. So this week has been really good. I've enjoyed being down
here in Kentucky. My new companions are elder ihler and sanders. They
are pretty cool. This week has been fun. We went and helped someone
mulch their yard this week. We walked dogs for a shelter a few times
this week. We met some people that could be investigators. I've made
pumpkin chocolate chip cookies twice this week. I gave a small talk on
Sunday. Then we went fishing today. So it's been pretty fun. Sorry
it's not more detailed. I haven't written in my journal this week
because it's been packed but I'll write stuff down and let you know
next week. Also my new address is 2331 benton-briensburg road KY. And
could you ask jer if he could send me another bottle of protein?
Thanks mom. Love y'all
Elder Neyman
Ok ihler is from Idaho and he's more quiet and reserved and has 3-4
transfers left. And sanders is from Nevada (Henderson) and he's like
the exact opposite of ihler and has been out one transfer longer than
me

Hey mom. So this week is going to be a bit weird. So I first have to
ask you a question. Did you send that package you were talking about
yet? I ask because I'm getting transferred. I'm not going far. I'm
going to Calvert? City and I'm going to be in a trio with elder
sanders and iler? So I don't have a lot of time to email today so
please tell everyone I'm sorry for not writing them. We have to finish
packing up because we need to leave at 7 tonight to head over there.
Elder Crawley is getting transferred too. He is going to Smyrna. So
we're going to Calvert city tonight then elder Crawley is going to
wake up at like 2 am to head to Morgantown to drop off and elder and
pick one up to go to transfers. It's weird and complicated. I'm sorry.
So just let everyone know I love them and I'll talk to them next week.
Love yall
Elder Neyman

Hey mom. That's a pretty cool text that you got. Very unique. I
haven't been able to look over it yet so I'll let you know next week.
I'm feeling better this week. Lavin is doing ok. We haven't been able
to see her recently so I'll update you when we go see her next. I
haven't made any recipes yet because we haven't been able to go to the
store yet but we'll be doing that today. I'll let you know how those
go. Spring break. Hhhmmm.... the most memorable thing was just
spending time with everyone. I don't remember what we did just that we
had fun together. Sorry I can't be more help. You inspire me every
time I get an email from you. Thank you. There was one thing that..
nope two things that happened this week. One was that we helped a
member demo her bathroom so she can remodel it. It was dirty hard
work. We also cut up part of the floor sense it was rotted. I don't
have the pictures on my iPad but I'll get them from my comp and send
them to you when I can. The other thing was that we came very close to
having a tornado in our town. The towns by us had it go through but it
missed us. It was very windy and loud but we just went right to sleep.
Sorry there's not much to report this week. We got zone conference
this week so I'll tell you about that. I hope everyone is doing well
there. Love y'all
