Moving Out of the Offices (2/14)

February 16, 2015

Well, I am headed off to my new area right now with my new companion Elder Brimhall. Elder Brimhall is from Las Vegas Nevada, he is a really cool guy and he has a little over a year in his mission. We are going to be serving as zone leaders in Lerma, which is out by Toluca. Cool little story Elder Brimhall just shared with me is that his family won a cabin. There is a show that is like America Homemakeover but for really really nice cabins and his family is going to be on the show airing Feb. 24th. The cabin is already built and everything is already done but they are going to air it on the 24th which is super cool. 

This week should be really good, we have 3 baptismal dates for this Sunday and 3 for the next Sunday. I am excited to get back out into the field, I still have a pretty noticeable limp, but I can still walk so everything is going well. Not a lot to share this week but I hope next week I will have a lot more to share, here are some photos from this week. Love you all!! Hope you all have a great week!!!

Love,

Elder Adams

Cast Off (2/10/15)

February 10, 2015

Well this week was a really really busy week, with lots of meetings and things to do in the offices, everyday we had something different going on which kept us busy but makes for a little bit of a lame letter. The biggest thing that happened to me this week would have to be getting my cast off. I finally got my cast off and even though I am walking somewhat slow I am still walking at about 70 percent. I should be leaving the offices at anytime and my president is pretty set on sending me out to the country where the roads are a lot more flat. I will be sad to leave Elder Bastian again because he is such a good friend but I have been in the offices for WAY to long. I have been here for almost 8 months... that is over half of my mission. Elder Bastian and I have been talking about putting together a basketball team after the mission and one thing that he has converted me on is "conquering your own state". He is a big mountain climber and its a thing that he does with some of his brothers and dads. In every state and county you have ever lived in you have to climb to the highest point of that state or country. For example, we have both lived in Washington and in order to "Conquer Washington" we need to climb to the peek of Mount Rainier. Elder Bastian and I are going to climb Mount Rainier some day and we also want to climb some other big mountains after the mission. Lastly, yesterday we had a big group of missionaries come in to put their fingerprints and renew their visas (me and my generation included). We had a few missionaries come in and stay at our house because they had to come from far away and I got to have Elder Adams, Elder Jex, Elder Mason and Elder Sailee stay with me that night. It was SO much fun but I am so tired now because we didn’t sleep AT ALL!!! We went to bed at 5 in the morning and had to wake up at 6:25 like always. We had a half P-day today and a half P-day yesterday and my companion and I slept from 1 to 6, we were so tired and so out of it but are doing pretty good now. Things are flying by way to fast here-officially 9 months from tomorrow I will be getting off my airplane in Salt Lake City which is the craziest thing to think about. One month from tomorrow I will be 2/3 done with my mission and the time seems to be flying by I miss you all a ton and hope you all have a great week. Sad to hear about the Sea hawks losing but I will be at home to cheer them on for the next Super Bowl!!

Love,

Elder Adams

Getting the Cast Off

February 2, 2015

Well I should be getting my cast off this week. I have an appointment with the doctor on Thursday so we will see how everything goes! :) This week went pretty well, we found a lot of great new investigators who seem to be progressing well. We brought 4 people to church for the first time and we have one investigator who we are trying to help leave all of his bad habits so he can be baptized. Right now he has 4 girlfriends, drinks a lot, and drinks TONS of coffee. We had our big conicilio today and I love seeing all of my friends, I saw Elder Jex, Elder Adams and Elder Hadley. Honestly I love these 3 Elders so much and I hope I can keep in touch with them after the mission. Besides that really not a lot has happened this week.... I am really bummed the Seahawks lost but I’m sure I will get over that soon. I officially hate crutches and I am so ready to get off them, but besides that everything is going well here. Love you all and hope you have a great week!!!

Love,

Elder Adams
