Hey mom. So it's been raining here and there but not super bad. It's
been really cloudy tho. I'm glad they (Jody and Abby and Jaynee)
 are doing good. I remember my pinewood derby. It was a lot of fun. I'm glad
they (Brycen and Paycen) are having fun doing that. That's really cool that you helped
with that project. It looks really cool. It sounds like bishop (Rogers) is
filling into his roll and doing well. So Beth and Michaela are doing
well. We taught them the plan of salvation last time and they love it.
She's still reading the Book of Mormon and asking questions and really
progressing. They love coming to church. Besides that it's been
tracting in the rain and knocking knocking knocking. We met some more
new investigators this week so we'll see where that goes. Also they
changed the mission schedule so we have 2 more hours of p day ( it
starts at 8 instead of 10) and a few other things that make it easier
to transition to home life and let you have more freedom in your
schedule. That's about all I got. Hope y'all have a good week. Love
y'all.

Hey mom. So this week has been really good. It has been really warm.
It's been in the 70s all week. But people say that happens all the
time. So this week has been really normal. Only one highlight. We sat
a baptism date with Beth and michaela and possibly Hayden. I want to
write more and send you my journal pictures like I promised but we had
wifi problems today and I just now am getting to write. So next week.
I hope all is well. Love y'all

Elder Neyman

That's so cool that it snowed. The weather out here has been crazy
going from 30 to 14 in the same day. It snowed out here too. I'll put
in pictures. Our church is at 1 now and it's starting to get dark when
we get out too. It's so weird. Man that's awesome that jer has another
sister. I'll get to know another aunt. This week has just been cold.
Very cold. I have to put on 3 pairs of socks and pants and 2 sweaters
and 2 coats and a scarf and beanie and gloves. So I have to layer up.
So this week has mostly been finding. We knocked into a few people but
we haven't been able to follow up with them yet. But I'll let you know
how those go next week. We did follow up with an investigator and
she's reading way more than we ask her too and is super eager for us
to come back so that is awesome. She would have came to church but got
sick so she's going to come next week and we're meeting with her again
this week. Other than that it's been knocking on doors knocking on
doors and knocking on doors. That's pretty much all we've done all
week. There were some funny/ weird experiences but they are in my
journal so I'll take pictures and send them to you next week. Hope you
and everyone else is doing good. Love y'all

Hey mom. So this week was really normal. It was a lot of tracting and talking to people. So I don't really know what to say. But yesterday was really cool. We have been teaching this young girl and her brother and had never met the mom. So we went and dropped in on them and the mom was there. We thought she was not going to be interested and skeptical sense it has been 2 random guys coming by and seeing her kids. But she was actually interested and was looking for a church to join to that was awesome. Other than that I don't really know what to say. Nothing special on New Years. We just had to be in at 6 so we just ate popcorn and played games like Yahtzee. No fireworks or anything. So pretty boring. It's crazy how time flys and it's 2017 already. I just got a little over a year. Hope all it well at home. Love y'all

CADEN WILL BE FACE-TIMING US AT 3:45 ON SUNDAY FOR ANYONE THAT WOULD LIKE TO COME SAY HI 😉😃

 Tracting has been so so. Some people want to hear the message because
of Christmas but others say they are too busy with Christmas stuff to
hear us. So I don't know. I don't have the time window yet but I will
let you know by tonight what it is. No I did not get transferred. So
we're going to breakfast with a family and we got dinner with another
family. Besides that we don't know. Why did he get them taken out? And
why did he get surgery? What would she be called if they do get
married? My cousin in law? I was wondering what that last part was
until I read the end of it. That's pretty funny paycen. So this week
was normal. The only weird things were when it went from the high 20s
to 70 degrees in one night then back to the 20s and the next day
getting freezing rain and having our car frozen shut and having to
yank the doors open to break the ice. And giving 5 priesthood
blessings last night to a sick family. So it's been good. I can't wait
to open all the gifts you guys sent me. Thank you so much for them.
Love you all,
Elder Neyman

It sounds like you had a really fun trip. So this week has been weird. It's been in the low 40s or 30s all week till yesterday and today and shot up into the 50s which is weird for December. Then we got a flat tire and we've had a donut on our car for the past few days (we're getting the new one on today). Then we got the cops called on us twice this week. So things have been all over the place. There were some highlights. Like we got to go to a mission tour (pretty much zone meeting with half the mission they had to split it up into two days one for one half of the mission and the other day for the half I was in)Friday and have Elder Jörg Klebingat of the 70 come down and talk to us. It was really good. He told us we need to be masters of repentance before we can teach other people repentance. It was good. We were at the meeting from 8-4:30. We never saw the sun that day. We went in at dawn and came out after sunset. It was weird. Other than all of that it was a normal week. Lots of tracting in the rain. If you want details I'll give them but it will take a while. Hope all is well at home. Love you all. (This morning were at a members house having breakfast and hanging out for p day) and am I allowed to open my package now or do I have to wait till Christmas? 

Here's a quote that was shared during the mission tour

"Silence in the face of such calamity is sin" Ezra Taft benson 

Look up the talk that goes with this it is amazing. It's called Five Marks of the Divinity of Jesus Christ

Hey mom. Man I'm jealous right now. I want to go on a cruise! I'm glad that your having a fun tho. I loved the devotional. We got to see it too. Well after we rode 7 miles on our bikes in the 48 degree weather to a members house. But it was good. So this week has been tracting tracting and more tracting. It seems like that's all we did. It made it a little miserable when it has rained every time we go out and it's cold enough outside to see our breath. But you do what you got to do. We had interviews this week so that was good. The only funny I got that happened this week was when we were tracting yesterday and this guy opened and said you got any weed? We said no and he said I'm waiting for my drug dealer and shut the door. It was really weird. I'm really tired from walking so much. We've probably walked like 30 miles this week. Sorry I don't have much for you this week. I'll try to have some funny experiences this week. Love you all.

“You can make every decision in your life correctly if you can learn to follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit. This you can do if you will discipline yourself to yield your own feelings to the promptings of the Spirit. Study your problems and prayerfully make a decision. Then take that decision and say to him, in a simple, honest supplication, ‘Father, I want to make the right decision. I want to do the right thing. This is what I think I should do; let me know if it is the right course.’ Doing this, you can get the burning in your bosom, if your decision is right. … When you learn to walk by the Spirit, you never need to make a mistake.”-President Marion G. Romney
