The Woolstenhulme Family
his companions


Alright wow freak another week gone already haha!! crazy! well This week was really good! Funny story so because im am now driving I have to pay attention to miles and I didn't know exactly how many miles we had for the month so I decided to call when we were at about 943 because I was told (kinda of more of a guess) that we had 1000 and its happens to be we only have 950 and we have a week of the month left so I was stressting out and we just got a new ward mission leader called into our ward so I called him and asked if we could possibly get some bikes to ride for a week and he said he'd see what he could do. So about a half hour latter we recieved a call from Bro. Clark Woolsteenhume who we just barly had dinner with... He sent you a picture! And he said we could borrow there bikes and he hooked us up with helmets and locks. So that is good we are going to be riding bikes the rest of the week!! We rode yesterday and saturday all day and my butt was sore again haha good ol team bullfrog though I am doing just fine!! We also had a dinner with a member and we started talkin about motorcycles and so yep he let me go sit on it and start it up.. Can't remember what kinda a Honda something but it was an 1800 and its a big bike. But suprisingly its not as heavy as my Kawasaii 1000 so Its was nice to do that! I am in Helaman 5 and it is probably one of my favorite stories in the B.O.M ( just kidding I love the whole thing no lie never thought I would love a book this much but i Do) and It was awesome I really love Nephi and Lehi and the power they had a missionaries!! We taught about 12 lessons this week which is pretty okay but we can do better. Elder Dos Santos is a great missionary he will be fine after I get done tranning him. That is awesome about Max Im glad he got to go to church. And about the spanish couple in our ward! Yesterday we had a dinner with a two single spanish ladies and I only of them only speaks spanish so when we speak all in english she gets really overwelled so I would talk to her in portuglish haha I don't speak either language very well yet but I am making alot of improvements and I know its because of all the prayers. Learning a different language is hard people ( Portugues and Spanish) have been here for like 10 years and still can't speak english very well so I know I am learning with the spirit when I can understand alot of what is being said!!! We had another lesson with a Part member family last night and I talked about being obedient and how important is it (expecially to parents) the children were kind of disobedient alot of the time there so I felt impressed to talk about the stripling warriors.. We talked for awhile and I got the kids to commit to do a little less talkin this week and more listening and I shared how I learned how to listen while I was working with my dad if I wanted to avoid getting things thrown at me!! It was a great lesson and the Kids told me they want to come back to church so it was really good!! Im so Stoked for general conference wow!! We get to hear the words of our prophet!! hopefully we can get a couple investigators to the chapel to listen!!! Thank you for all you do.. the GPS is sweet but the cord to plug into the car came broken so I had to charge it at night and hope it doesn't run out during the day but Its great I am so grateful for a loving family!! I don't need anything as of now Its not too cold so were good!! I have gloves and a coat so I'll be okay I'll let you know thought!! Keep up the good work. The church is true and I love it
