HEY EVERYONE,


THE WEEK HAS GONE BY FAST. THERE HASN'T BEEN TOO MUCH GOING ON. TO ANSWER THE QUESTIONS THAT WERE ASKED, THERE AREN'T REALLY ANY COMPETITIONS THAT I KNOW OF IN THE MISSION. THE MAIN SPORT OF CHOICE FOR P- DAY IS SPEED BALL. WHAT SPEED BALL IS IT IS A MIXTURE BETWEEN SOCCER BASKET BALL AND ULTIMATE FRISBEE. YOU USE A SOCCER BALL AND TRY TO KICK IT UP TO A TEAM MEMBER THEY CATCH IT IN THE AIR SO LONG AS IT DOESN'T BOUNCE FIRST AND THEN THEY HAVE TO STAY IN ONE PLACE AND THROW IT TO A TEAM MEMBER. TILL YOU MAKE IT TO A HOOP THEN YOU SHOOT INTO THE BASKET TO GET A POINT. THERE IS NO OUT OF BOUNDS IN THE GYM SO IT JUST KEEPS THE GAME GOING. LOADS OF FUN I WILL HAVE TO TEACH YOU GUYS WHEN I GET HOME.

WE HAVE ONE BAPTISM SCHEDULED FOR THIS WEEK AND ONE FOR NEXT WEEK AND THE 27TH WE HAVE 5. IT WILL BE A GOOD WEEK. WE HAVE TONS OF STUFF GOING ON. TWO OF OUR BAPTISMAL CANDIDATES HAVE ADHD AND IT IS CRAZY THEY HAVE NO ATTENTION SPAN. ONE OF THEM THINKS ELDER KAFOA IS BLACK. IT IS HILARIOUS.

HERE IS A STORY:

JON IRWIN WAS RECENTLY BAPTIZED. ONE OF THE MEMBERS IN THE AREA GAVE US A CALL AND SAID THEY HAD A FRIEND THAT WOULD LIKE TO MEET WITH US. WE HAD TO SPLIT UP TO GO AND SEE HIM. I MET HIM AND STARTED TEACHING THE FIRST LESSON AND HE SAID HE ALREADY KNEW THAT AND THEN I DECIDED TO COMMIT HIM FOR BAPTISM. HE ACCEPTED. WE WERE MEETING WITH HIM LATER AND WE REALIZED THAT WE HAD TAUGHT HIM EVERYTHING. WE ASKED HIM IF HE WANTED TO BE BAPTIZED ONE WEEK EARLIER THAN THAT. HE SAID HE DID AND GOT READY. THE REASON THAT HE WANTED TO JOIN THE CHURCH WAS HE ATTENDED A MEETING AND PEOPLE CAME AND GREETED HIM AND HAD CONVERSATIONS WITH HIM SO WHEN YOU SEE SOMEONE AT CHURCH THAT YOU DON'T RECOGNIZE, GO AND MEET THEM IT MAY BE THEY WERE CURIOUS AND DECIDED TO VISIT AND WILL LATER JOIN THE CHURCH.

SORRY I CANT THINK OF MUCH MORE SO I WILL JUST SEND SOME PICTURES.

LOVE,

ELDER LUNT

HEY EVERYONE,


WELL I HAVE A NEW EMAIL NOW AND HAVE TO WAIT A WHILE FOR MY OLD ONE TO SEND ALL THE EMAILS TO THIS ONE. SO SORRY BUT I WILL NOT BE ANSWERING ANY QUESTIONS TILL NEXT WEEK.

WE HAVE BEEN HAVING A CRAZY WEEK. SO MANY EXCHANGES WITH OTHER ELDERS. I FEEL LIKE ELDER KAFOA AND I ARNT AROUND EACHOTHER VERY MUCH. WE SHOULD HAVE IT SLOWING DOWN THOUGH.

I HAVE A FEW PICTURES TO SEND TO YOU SORRY IF THEY ARE DUPLICATES.

IT SEEMS THAT I AM TERIBLE AT GETTING THIS TO WORK (THE NEW E MAIL) SO WE WILL SEE HOW IT WORKS NEXT WEEK.

THIS WEEK WE HAVE A TON SET UP. WE WILL BE HAVING A ZONE ACTIVITY AND BE PLAYING LASER TAG IT WILL BE FUN. WE HAVE A TON OF PEOPLE COMING SIO IT WILL BE WAY COOL TO BE ABLE TO BE TOGETHER AS A ZONE. WE HAVE THE COOLEST ZONE LEADERS... ELDER DOWD AND ELDER JEFFERY. THEY HAVE BEEN WORKING REALLY HARD AND HAVE BEEN HELPING ME WITH ELDER KAFOA'S LANGUAGE STUDY.

THERE IS A TON OF POTENTIAL SO HOPEFULLY THE LORD WILL CONTINUE TO BLESS US IN THIS AREA.

I LOVE YOU ALL

ELDER LUNT

HEY EVERYONE,


WELL THIS PAST WEEK HAS GONE WELL. WE HAD THE TWO BAPTISMS THAT WERE SCHEDULED. WE HAVE NO MORE IN THIS MONTHE SCHEDULED.

WE ALSO HAD ZONE CONFERENCE AND OUR INTERVIEWS WITH THE PRESIDENT. THEY WENT WELL AND THERE WAS MUCH LEARNED.

ELDER KAFOA TAUGHT ME THE HAKA AND AT INTERVIEWS SOME OTHER ELDERS WANTED US TO SHOW THEM THE HAKA SO WE DID IT AND NOW THE DISTRICT WANTS TO LEARN THE HAKA.

I DID RECIEVE THE PACKAGE WITH MY MEDS AND THE PACKAGE THAT GRANDMA SENT.

I HAVE TO APOLOGIZE TO EVERYONE FOR NOT RETURNING ANY LETTERS FOR A WHILE BUT WE HAVE HAD SHORTENED P-DAYS AND HAVE NOT HAD TIME. ELDER KAFOA SCHEDULED SOME LESSONS DURING P-DAY AND THAT IS WHAT SHORTENS IT.

I CANT THINK OF ANY OVERLY EXCITING STORIES... SORRY. SO I WILL THINK THROUGHOUT THIS WEEK.

THIS WEEK HAS BEEN A GOOD ONE. WE HAD THOSE TWO BAPTISMS AND THOSE OTHER MISSION EVENTS.

SORRY ABOUT NOT WRITING MUCH BUT I CANT THINK OF MUCH ELSE THAT HAS HAPPENED AND THAT WE HAVE PLANNED.

LOVE ELDER LUNT

HELLO,


WELL ANOTHER WEEK AND TWO MORE BAPTISMS. I HONESTLY DO NOT KEEP TRACK OF HOW MANY BAPTISMS I HAVE HAD OVER THE COURSE OF MY ENTIRE MISSION. SO I DONT KNOW HOW MANY WERE BAPTISED SO I WILL LOOK THROUGH ALL THE NAMES OF THOSE THAT WERE BAPTIZED AND TRY TO GIVE YOU A TOTAL NEXT WEEK.

THIS WEEK I BAPTIZED JON IRWIN AND ELDER KAFOA BAPTIZED JOSH POWELL. IT WAS SUCH A GOOD WEEK AND I CANT WAIT AS WE HAVE TWO MORE BAPTISMS SCHEDULED FOR THIS WEEK. IT IS REALLY EXCITING.

I CANT BELIEVE HOW FAST THE TIME HAS GONE BY. MORE THAN HALF WAY THROUGH THE MISSION. AMAZING! IT FEELS LIKE YESTERDAY THAT I SAID GOOD BYE TO ALL OF YOU.

IT SOUNDS LIKE ALL OF YOU HAVE BEEN REALLY BUSY THIS WEEK. I HOPE THAT IT IS THE GOOD KIND OF BUSY RATHER THAN THE KIND NOBODY LIKES.

WELL ONCE AGAIN I WILL TRY TO SEND PICTURES.

LOVE ELDER LUNT

HEY EVERYONE,


WELL IT IS A NEW WEEK. IT SEEMS THE TIME FLIES WHEN YOU ARE HAVING FUN. TO ANSWER ONE OF THE QUESTIONS ASKED, ELDER KAFOA IS THE BEST COMPANION I HAVE HAD AND MY FAVORITE COMPANION.

WE HAD THREE OF THE PLANNED BAPTISMS AND WE HAVE A FEW BAPTISMS PLANNED FOR THIS SATURDAY.

LORRAINE NELSON WAS NOT ASKED BY NEIGHBORS BECAUSE SHE WAS ONLY IN HER APARTMENT FOR A DAY WHEN ELDER KAFOA KNOCKED. SHE HAD BEEN SEEN BY MISSIONARIES IN THE PAST WHEN THEY KNOCKED ON HER DOOR AND ASKED TO MEET WITH HER SHE SAID WHEN I GET MY OWN APARTMENT THEN ONE DAY AFTER SHE MOVED FROM CLEARFIELD TO HERE, ELDER KAFOA FOUND HER. SHE WAS REALLY PREPARED AND HUMBLED BY THE LORD AND HAS BEEN THE BEST INVESTIGATOR I HAVE HAD ON MY MISSION.

MY HAND WASN'T HURT BY THE RAT TRAP. THE LESSON IS TO SHOW THAT BY KEEPING THE LORD'S COMMANDMENTS WE WILL NEVER BE HURT.

WELL I AM GOING TO KEEP THIS SHORT BECAUSE I WILL TRY TO FIND A WAY TO SEND THE PICTURES.

LOVE

ELDER LUNT
