Our first week

Well, We have just about made it through our first week. We get up at 6:00 am and have breakfast at 7:00 am and then we start classes. We go for an hour and then have a fifteen minute break. Then start up again. We study a lesson every night of two or three chapters in “Preach My Gospel” then the next day we put the lesson into a situation like we were teaching an investigator or to an inactive member. We finish at 5:00 every evening, eat dinner and then go to computer class until 7:30 pm then come home and study for the next day and to bed by 10:00pm.

Long Days!! But what a special place to be. The Spirit is so strong and so special here. The people we have met are so fantastic. We learn from them and hopefully them from us. We have had some good feedback on some of our situations and it makes us feel that we are not totally dumb.

Prayer is such a special tool we have to receive help and inspiration from our Heavenly Father. It has been a big help here in our studies and then to have prayers answered that Grandpa Evers is doing better and that Brett got a permanent job and that all of you are being watched over while we are gone.

Pray sincerely and really think about the things that you are thankful for each day and the blessings that our Heavenly Father has sent your way and then ask him for things that you really need for in your family. Remembering that we need to do our part and then Heavenly Father will do his.

We are anxious to learn how to use the digitizing camera next week so we will be able to help out in that area in Cleveland. Say a prayer for us that we will learn quickly and then remember what we learned. We always pray for the missionaries…..now we are one of them. WOW!!

Great people work here. What special leaders and teachers. To think that in just a few years Travis, Derick, Tyrel, Tyler and Trevin will be here. These Elders look so young. They are nice to us “Seniors”.

Oh yeah…..We don’t have twin beds!! What a relief. I took a picture and will send it and one of us in front of the world map.

Love you all
