Hello Family and Friends!



ANOTHER WEEK! YIKES!

I dont have any questions to answer this week... i wrote mom a
seperate email! Sorray! But it dont matter cuz you dont care. Admit
it.

Anyways Let me tell ya what happened this weeeeeeeeeeeek.....

So Monday 4-18-11
I sent some pictures! i think the only thing that happened on monday
is that some girls stole my camera and were watching videos so we hung
their stuff on the flag pole outside their church. Besides that all
we did was go to sister Leishmans and ate SO MUCH LASAGNA i thought i
was going to explode! its bad here haha everytime we are in a meal, i
eat so fast that they make me eat more, i think i need to slow down
because everytime i leave a house i feel stuffed to the max!


Then Tuesday 4-19-11
Today was probably our biggest service day. We went and hauled hay at
the omans, we sprayed weeds and mowed weeds, and leveled out horse
pens at the Knards Farm, (I'll send pictures of this) We helped
brother Moffat spread wood chips in his yard! man we did tons of
service!

Then We went and visited the Relief Society President, Sister Lewis,
We hooked her up with info because we are like her little errand boys
and she hooked us up with refferals! She's So cool.

While we were at her house there were tons of kids around on
skateboards and bikes because they were all at woodward for spring
break, it was pretty sweet.

And then we ate dinner at the Moffats! Their little girl holly is so
funny. She has her own language cuz she cant speak yet. But she's
cute and loves missionaries!

Then Wednesday 4-20-11
We went to the Chiropractor, and i get to go every week because he's
trying to fix my neck so that i dont get headaches anymore. The other
missionaries only get adjusted every other week! HAHA!

We did some shopping in the morning, sent some packages and mail and stuff.

We went to the Warings for lunch, and we got to talking on service
missions. I really want to serve a service mission. I'd be so much
better at it. haha. I think when i look for a job when i get home
it'll be like a Crisis Cleanup Crew. they can send me to places that
get devistated by disasters and i'll help clean it up. That would be
WICKED!!!!

We went over to sister Finely's House and did a little service in her
back yard. She has a big old gras hill in her back yard and the weeds
came to my knees. And she had a really good Weed Wacker but her lawn
mowers sucked, one sounded like it was going to blow up and a blade
was going to fly off and hit me in the face, and the other was.....
well you wanna hear a funny joke? (Electric lawnmower) Plugs in the
wall! JOKE!!!! so needless to say we had to stop and tell her we would
come back later in the week. and we did. But she had a WAY pretty
husky, i want a husky as a dog when i get home.

We went to Heavenlee's house and taught her about Chastity and the
word of wisdom. That went well. She gets baptized on Saturday the
30th! WOO HOO! my first baptism!

Then we ate dinner at the Mortenson's, They are a cool old couple.
They were born and raised in Utah, they went to Granite high. And
they were married by a general authority... i dont remember who?

Then we went to the holloways, and for some reason everytime i go
there we end up talking about movies, and that's all we end up talking
about! haha its sweeeeeet! they are awesome!

And then i looked in the area book and found out that me and Sister
Layne (The one where we have so many things in common, like her grand
daughter and Spencer Izatt) Me and her have the same birthday!!! man
me and this lady have so many things in common! she's SWEET!

Thursday 4-21-11
We played Basketball at 6 AM like somedays we do.

We went to district meeting and that was good.

I told my companion that pooping is pondering time hahahaha! its true
though, i come up with my best thoughts out there on the pot. and the
funny thing about saying this was that we went to a less actives house
and was talking about reading the scriptures and the lady we were with
(Sister Lewis) said that the best place to read is on the toilet, i
looked at my companion and couldnt stop laughing.... yeah... i told
you! Even the relief society president thinks so!

After sister Alvis' we went to wayne and nita's. talked with them a
bit, and messed with their dogs. they have 3 shnowzers!

Then we went back to the lewis' and had a TON of spaghetti! it was
great, but like i said i was filled to the max. the Lewis' are so
funny.

at the bottom of this page in my journal it says "It was a great day"
and it was, because i didnt feel like a trainee anymore... i'm a
missionary, new or old, we are all the same.

Then Friday 4-22-11
Today wasnt a good day :( I thought it would be because the day before
was awesome but i woke up Congested with a head ache :(

But we helped Loretta move her stuff to an apartment, she just got a
job at a lutheran school or something as a cafeteria lady haha

We had weekly planning on friday as well. It was.... cold. haha that's all.

We went to a golden hills FIESTA. It was ok, but we couldnt stay
long, we had an appointment. at the KINGS the kings are awesome! We
spoke about the Plan of Salvation. And it was so crazy because that's
what we had planned for the night, but before we could start teaching
they got a call from their daughter saying she had a miss carriage,
and that was like what lead our discussion. IT was like god telling
us there was no way we werent going to teach them the plan. IT was
sweet.

Then Saturday 4-23-11
We woke up and got ready to be at the church for heavenlee's
baptisimal interview. And she did great!

We went over to Sister Leishmans for breakfast like we always do for
saturday. She always makes good breakfast.

Then we went back to sister finely's and finished our yard work. I
got allergies way bad and that ruined my day. Made me so tired.

We went to brother Thomas' house and i just about fell asleep because
my eyes were so heavy from the allergies :(

After that we went to the Bethkey's as usual. They just bought pizza
because sister bethkey was out of town. But its so cool because i
taught their dog Max (the golden retriever in the pictures) how to
shake, that's something that he'll always remember and they'll always
remember me for teaching it to him! haha!

After that we went to brother moffats and helped him lay some wooden
railroad ties in his backyard!

Then Sunday 4-24-11 EASTER
We went to our 8 hours of church as usual. We taught the Salyers
family during the break in the middle. and we committed their kids to
being baptized so now we have 3 BAPTISMS COMING UP!!!!! AHHHHHH!!!
YESS!!!!!

We also sang in the choir, not by choice, they made us. And it was
ok. IT was entirely a music program so we sang a lot. I'm glad i took
choir haha not!

Then we went to the De Silvas for dinner and they made us easter
baskets and stuff. i'll post some pictures maybe! and then we stopped
at the Bennetts. Then we had to be in because District Leader Pulham
had to be in to take numbers! hahahahahaha! but it was a good easter i
guess? haha nah, it really was, i learned a lot.

Well that is it! Love you all and hope you are all safe. You're
always in my prayers! Ummmmmm..... i think that's it!

Peace out!!

Elder Crapo!
