This week has been super crazy!!! lots of new assignments and new things we are learning here now!! :) The deaf work here is super crazy and super busy!!!
The branch is super awesome! They are not yet fired up about sharing the gospel. The deaf culture is a bit different from that of the hearing culture as you know and the deaf respect everyone and their beliefs and cultures, so it is super hard to get any referrals from them!!!
We were assigned 8 new home teaching assignments this week and will continue with them and finding new investigators! with the deaf branch we are to do mostly less active work now and get the members back to church for the first few weeks then will switch over to the gospel sharing part!!! we are to get the Less active and inactive members back to church! many of which have unbaptised members of their family so that will help with the end result! :) we are looking to go to ASDB ( Arizona School for the Deaf and Blind) this week and begin to target the young students there!! all of the branch is dieing off and it getting to be very old! very sad, but we are searching! that's all we can do! deaf work is not your normal missionary work and is very hard to find them!!! we are looking to go to Nogales soon, we have a referral from missionaries down there just waiting for them to set up an appointment for us and we'll be off! :) (hey Red, Fran any friends we should visit while we are there???) ooh also to green valley! :) the work is going great!! I am having the time of my life!!!
This last weekend we had the opportunity to hear and meet Elders Christofferson, Rasband, Kearon ( misspelled from England), and Pickered. it was an amazing experience to go and to meet and betrained by them! the focus of the meeting was the Family and the Temple!! many things were very touching, and the spirit was amazing! :) 2 main things that caught my attention were 1 from President Crockett President of the Gila Valley Temple commented on a picture he had in his home of the temple with all the signatures of the Grandkids there with a small placque on the bottom of it said, " We will meet you there."
The other was from Elder Rasband, He was talking about failure in the home and what constitutes failure in the home!! he mentioned that:The only thing that constitutes failure in the home is when the Parents OR Grandparents give up on trying! don't do it! :) well hope all is well!!!!!!!!! Love you all!!

I'm not even sure what to say this week, it's all been a big blurr, Crazy I must say. i remember yesterday it was pday and now today it is again pday I don't understand it, time flies by soooo fast here! This week we had a baptism it was pretty cool i must say!! it took all four ASL missionaries to baptize our investigator, it was way crazy! So great to see all of us missionaries in white, we get to go to the temple soon in like 2 weeks! :) can't wait gonna be a blast!! anyway everything is going great here! :) stuff is Crazy and trying to enjoy it. Pain is good, Pain is your friend, If you're feeling pain you must be still alive, but it is nothing to worry about because the same pain I feel now Christ has already felt and anything I've done he's done, and paid the ultimate price for it. Mosiah 14 & 23: 10-11 Well i'm down for the count! have a great week! talk with you all next week! if you wanna know more about something give me a specific question and i'll answer it!

WOW!! this week has been a total ZOO!!! yeah that is right!! this week has been crazy busy!!! I have a new companion, Elder Spencer Hill from Orem, Utah. ha ha! anyway we have been way crazy we found 3 new pretty strong investigators this week!! 1 that set her own baptismal date before we even got to asking! ha ha!! crazy! well the investigator we found this week, he name is Lillia Brossova, From Russia, way strong I must say. she love visitors and loves the missionaries!! ha ha anyway yesterday we were teaching her the Word of Wisdom, from with she drinks tea as to most Russians in social settings. We told her that she could no longer drink Tea. she turned to us and said really I must give it all up? I don't drink it real often and only for social purposes. we turned to her and said what is your biggest desire right now? she turned to us and said to follow Jesus Christ and be baptised. we said that Jesus doesn't want you to drink tea she said OK no more. we asked her if we could help her get rid of the tea, she said no I will give it to my neighbors. ( she had just bought like 8 boxes of Lipton tea) she said I'll give it away. after about 45 mins we got a phone call from her in her SA-WEEET accent that said I have contacted Walmart and will be taking it back. but you must understand Lillia can not move very well, she has a pinched siatic nerve, she can only go to church for one hour and will have to go home, she does special stretches so that she can stand up and have a lesson with us! she can't sit! but she can't wait for her baptism! it'll take 2 - 3 people to baptize her! awesome I must say! And we can't say it is too hard to do anything if she can't get outta bed but once a day to meet with us the missionaries! can't wait! the work is booming here and is so Crazy!!! the Asphalt sinks as you walk and it burns the bottom of your feet the soles get so hot, but that is what makes it SO much fun! Loving it here!! Have an awesome week!!!! talk at you later!! :)
Love you all!

Hey ya'll,
Well as you can see it is not monday! yesterday everything was closed here for memorial day
so we couldn't email so here I am!
it's been a pretty crazy week this week! lots of time in the dr. office and the scanning room.
This week I had 3 different MRI's taken at the Tucson Orthopedic Institute where I have been
seen for the last month and a half. We will get the results on Thursday and find out what will
take place after that! I also have had X-RAYS TAken last week on wednesday
or so, so you know what kind of week it has been! trying to stay as busy as I can be in the
circumstance i am in. no matter how many hours I must stay at the apartment we are still
going head strong trying my best!
This last week has been real busy with the work and all! this week we had another investigator
get baptized. it was great to see someone make the necessary commitment and take the steps
to happiness! Life is crazy here in the hot weather, you're always welcome to take a little of it your
way anytime you'd like! 103 this week it was! CRAZY! ha well it's soon time to hit the road!
Hope all is well at home! keep doing what your doing and get rid of a book of mormon this week
someone needs it just find out who it is and give it to them! if you need one to give away just get
into contact with them missionaries, they have plenty in fact I think sometimes they have too many
The more hands it gets into the better the world will be!! DO IT! DO IT NOW! DO IT RIGHT!

HEY YA'LL
Well it's been a pretty rough week this week! lots of pain from the car wreck! well as for how it happened
April 7th, 2010
My companion and I had just exchanged with the District leaders for the evening and the next day! I had to drive because the other passenger in the car had been red Flagged and unable to drive!
it was about 2 mins after we had exchanged I was getting ready to turn onto the freeway to go to the district leaders apartment. there was a car in front of me that had stopped to turn left I was stopped behind it right under a light pole. as i was waiting for the car in front of me to turn left I looked in my rear view mirror and to my suprise was a red Ford Focus coming through my back bumper at 30 mph.
It was pretty freaky! messed up the car pretty good, but all in all we are alive!
As for my companion! He's way awesome! and as you may have never thought he hates making decisions too! so the two of us are taking turns at it now!! he's been driving alot lately because I can't! I've been on some pretty heavy medications and can't drive, but I do have to say I probably could drive better than most of the people here in Tucson and I'm on pain killers! enough said about traffic! well I'm starting to feel better! I will be starting Physical therapy tomorrow for the next few weeks and then go in for another xray to make sure My vertebrate isn't cracked! but all in all! everything Is amazing! We will be having a baptism on May 15th, 22, and 29th! Kyle and Stevie Gerratt should be here for that on on the 29th! :) found that out after meeting with Alissa, the one being baptized, today.
The mission president is way cool!! :) very involved in what we do and how we feel! we've had many interviews as he likes to talk with us about every 3-6 weeks! :) lots of fun!
MOM
As for the call on mothers day!
It is looking like it will be at about 4-5 p.m. ish my time we don't get out of church til 3:30-4 depending if we have other meetings! I will probably be calling you via VCO Sorenson meaning I will voice and the interpreter will sign what you are saying if not Elder Kane will interpret for me and it will be on a normal phone!
Everything is great here in Tucson! what do you mean by the Immigration bill? haven't heard about it! any how! got to go! :)
Lots of Love

Well been a crazy week this week! lots of Dr. appointments and such! getting straightened out and ready to get back to work!
I went to the dr. on wednesday or thursday, and they said I have a wedged vertebrate with a possible crack in it but all is well! I'm doing my best to stay busy!
This week we found 2 new very solid investigators! Jen meeks was the first one. she has been slammed with a lot of anti church material, and negative
comments from her friends and relatives but has learned to put it all aside and is doing quite well! The next is Gussy. Gussy is an older lady who grew up in the
catholic church but felt as if something was missing. She is really wanting to know and praying and reading a lot! she is pretty awesome!! having lots of fun! about 3 days ago we met with her, we were teaching the first lesson about the restoration and we asked her how she felt about it, she said this may sound funny but I felt peace and I felt as though I miss my heavenly father, but I know I have never been face to face with him before but I feel as if I know him.
We then explained to her how she had seen him and today we are going to teach the plan of salvation and give her more information about that! she called yesterday and said she had a few questions so hopefully all is well! :)
I'm loving it even if it is 101 today! and it is only April!! they said it normally doesn't get this hot til about mid May! ooh well! all is well! I'm having a blast! hope all is well!! :) Lots of Love to all of you! Hope to hear from you soon!

Hello Hello Hello
Hello from Tuscon! That is correct we were ER'd Emergency Transferred. since last week we have had some major complications with the car accident and the whip lash. I have been to the Physical Therapist twice now! not to mention the therapist is President Walker! I had X-Rays and have been bed ridden for 3 days! I finally got to get out yesterday to go to church! It has been crazy boring! So as for now I live about 2 blocks from the mission home and 2 hours from Mexico. It is quite funny Elder Kane and I both commented that the cashier spoke english here! It was way crazy!!! I'm getting real bored here in bed but I hope to soon be back to work! Elder Kane, Sister Walker and President Walker are all taking good care of me!
Also here in Tuscon we have 2 other ASL Elders, Elder Hill, and Elder Bohman my MTC companion. it was great to go to the deaf branch yesterday and tonight we have dinner with deaf members It will be crazy fun!! :) well not much has happened this week other than the transfer back here to Tuscon which is looking to be permanent! well gotta go. time for dinner and more anti- inflamitory and pain meds! hope all is well! have a blast this week and I'll do all I can to get better and back to work! hope all is well! Send my love! :) If you obey 100% you receive 100% of the blessings! if you choose what to obey, he chooses the Blessings. D&C 82:10
Love you all!

Hello from Tuscon! That is correct we were ER'd Emergency Transferred. since last week we have had some major complications with the car accident and the whip lash. I have been to the Physical Therapist twice now! not to mention the therapist is President Walker! I had X-Rays and have been bed ridden for 3 days! I finally got to get out yesterday to go to church! It has been crazy boring! So as for now I live about 2 blocks from the mission home and 2 hours from Mexico.
