HEY EVERYONE,

LOOKS LIKE THE REUNION WAS FUN. EVERYONE HAS DOGS NOW. THAT IS CRAZY HOPEFULLY THEY ARE ALL POTTY TRAINED OR SOON WILL BE. I HAVE HEARD THAT CRATE TRAINING WILL HELP THEM WITH GOING IN THE HOUSE AND WILL STOP THE PROBLEM. MAYBE YOU SHOULD TRY IT. IT WOULD NOT BE FUN TO KEEP CLEANING THOSE MESSES UP. THANKS FOR ALL THE PICTURES.

I AM GLAD ALL IS GOING WELL THERE WITH BUILDING AND RS. ALL OTHER THINGS I HAVEN'T HEARD ABOUT, HOPEFULLY THOSE ARE GOOD.

I HOPE YOU GET ON THAT TWENTY ONE DAY CHALLENGE SOON BECAUSE LIKE IT SAYS IN ALMA 29:9 YOU WILL GAIN JOY BY DOING THE WORK. I KNOW THIS BECAUSE I SAW IT (WHEN I INVITED MAX) AND HAVE SEEN IT IN MY LIFE OUT HERE. I KNOW THAT IT WILL BRING YOU JOY. BUT REMEMBER THAT YOU MUST ACT ON THOSE OPPORTUNITIES THAT COME.

THINGS ARE GOING WELL. WE FOUND A 9 YEAR OLD GIRL THAT WANTED TO BE BAPTIZED AND HAD BEEN ATTENDING CHURCH AND READING THE SCRIPTURES SO SHE WAS BAPTIZED ON SUNDAY. THAT WAS THE FASTEST BAPTISM THAT I HAVE EVER BEEN INVOLVED IN.

WE HAVE ONE THAT IS PREPARING FOR BAPTISM. SHE IS REAL SOLID AND IS TRYING TO TEACH HER 5 YEAR OLD SON ALREADY.

I AM STILL IN A CAR AND ELDER MITCHELL IS DRIVING BUT I HAVE DRIVEN ON EXCHANGES.

LOVE YOU ALL
ELDER LUNT

HEY,

WELL WE HAD ANOTHER GREAT WEEK. MAN THIS MISSION HAS BEEN FLYING BY. I CANT BELIEVE I HAVE BEEN OUT FOR FIVE AND A HALF MONTHS. I GUESS TIME FLIES WHEN YOU ARE HAVING FUN. WELL THIS SATURDAY WE HAVE ANOTHER BAPTISM. THE AREA HAS BEEN GETTING WORK LIKE CRAZY.

I HAVE TO AGREE WITH WHAT DAD SAID "It sounds like the experience of cleaning out the C&G basement came in handy." IT DID COME IN HANDY WHILE WORKING ON THAT MUD SLIDE.

WE WENT TO A WATER SLIDE LAST WEEK THAT WAS FUN BUT I FORGOT MY CAMERA. SO I WILL HAVE TO GET PICTURES NEXT TIME I GO.

SOUNDS LIKE YOU ALL HAD FUN AT THE REUNION. I WISH I COULD HAVE BEEN THERE BUT I WAS TOO BUSY WITH A MISSION;-) IT WAS WHERE I NEED TO BE SO I AM CONTENT JUST HEARING ABOUT IT.

IT IS INTERESTING GOING ON EXCHANGES WITH ELDER BOHNE. EVERY NOW AND THEN WE WOULD ASK ABOUT WHICH INVESTIGATOR WE SHOULD SEE AND WE WOULD FORGET WE WERE NOT IN FARR WEST...I GUESS WE ARE BOTH JUST CRAZY.

THANKS FOR THE INFORMATION ON HOW ELDER MITCHELL AND I ARE CONNECTED. IT WAS JUST HOW WE THOUGHT IT WAS.

SOUNDS LIKE MARVIN IS DOING GOOD WORK ON THAT PERSON ON HIS LIST FOR HOME TEACHING AND SHOWING THAT HE CARES ABOUT HIM. I AM GLAD THAT YOU ARE DOING THAT. I HOPE YOU ALL ARE BLESSED WITH THE MISSIONARY OPPORTUNITIES YOU ALL ARE LOOKING FOR.

LOVE YOU ALL,
ELDER LUNT

P.S. HOW IS THE 21 DAY CHALLENGE WORKING OUT?

HEY EVERYONE!

IT IS GOOD TO HEAR THAT THE MISSIONARY WORK CONTINUES TO GO FORWARD IN THE GREAT CACTUS VIEW WARD. IT SOUNDS LIKE THINGS ARE GOING WELL WITH THE CONSTRUCTION WORK. I KNOW THAT THE LORD IS TRULY BLESSING YOU ALL.

I WAS ABLE TO GET THE MUD OUT OF THE CLOTHES THAT I WORE AT THE MUD SLIDE. WE HAVE A DRY CLEANING HOOKUP SO I USED IT. I HAVE NOT HEARD MUCH MORE THAN I TOLD YOU ALL ABOUT THE MUD SLIDE. AND YES THE MUD IS FROM EMPTYING A BASEMENT AND SHOVELING THE STREET.

WELL WE HAVE THE SECOND BAPTISM THAT I HAVE ATTENDED IN THIS AREA ON THURSDAY. IT HAS BEEN A SWEET AREA. THE ONLY COMPLAINT THAT I HAVE IS THE SMELL WHICH IS DUE TO THE SLAUGHTER HOUSE THAT IS IN THE AREA. BUT THAT HELPS US TO WORK HARD SO THAT WE CAN BE INSIDE AWAY FROM THE SMELL.

ELDER MITCHELL IS AMAZING. HE KNOWS THE GOSPEL REALLY WELL. HE HAS A REALLY STRONG TESTIMONY. I LOVE SERVING WITH HIM. JUST OUT OF CURIOSITY HOW ARE ELDER MITCHELL AND I CONNECTED? (***Elder Mitchell is Amy's brother-in-law's brother)

I AM GLAD THAT YOU WERE ABLE TO MEET THE RASSMUSSENS THEY ARE AN AWESOME FAMILY.

IN THE HYRUM AREA, WE COVER THREE STAKES AND 30 WARDS. IT IS CRAZY! IT IS HARD TO GET TO KNOW ANYONE. BUT THE PEOPLE THAT KNEW THE VILLARREAL'S WAS ON HIS MISSION. IT IS BRO HULSE. SO THERE IS NOT MUCH ELSE THAT HAS BEEN HAPPENING HERE.

LOVE YOU ALL,

ELDER LUNT

HEY EVERYBODY,

WELL MY NEW AREA IS IN HYRUM, UTAH. MY COMPANION IS ELDER MITCHELL... YES AMY IT IS THE ONE YOU TOLD ME TO LOOK FOR (Amy's brother-in-law' brother). HE IS REALLY COOL AND HAS SHOWN ME SO MUCH TO TELL ME THAT HE CARES ABOUT ME. WE LIVE IN SOME APARTMENTS AND THE SPANISH ELDERS LIVE BELOW US. WE HAD ONE BAPTISM ON SATURDAY AND WILL HAVE ONE NEXT WEEK. I MET SOMEONE HERE THAT SERVED IN THE PARADISE LANE WARD AND KNOWS THE CANNONS AND THE VILLARREALS.

THERE WAS A MUD SLIDE IN A NEIGHBORING AREA THAT WE HELPED WITH. WE FOUND OUT WE WERE ON THE NEWS THE WEBSITES WE WERE TOLD ABOUT ARE Q92.FM KSL.COM KUTV.COM

THERE MIGHT BE BOTH VIDEO AND PICTURES ON IT. SO JUST LOOK.

THIS AREA IS PRETTY COOL SO I LIKE IT HERE.

WELL I CANT THINK OF ANYTHING ELSE BUT BROTHER RASSMUSSEN WILL DELIVER A PACKAGE FOR ME BEFORE THE END OF THE MONTH.

LOVE YOU ALL,
ELDER LUNT

HELLO,

WELL, I AM BEING TRANSFERRED THIS TIME TO CASH VALLEY BUT MY COMPANION AND I WILL STILL BE IN THE SAME ZONE. MY FIRST COMPANION IS GOING TO BE ZONE LEADER IN WILLARD BAY ZONE, MY STARTING ZONE. SO HE MIGHT BE ABLE TO MEET WITH THE INVESTIGATORS THAT I AM LEAVING. ALL BAPTISMS ARE ON TRACK.

JOHN HAMLIN IS STILL AMAZING AND HE WILL BE BAPTIZED. IT TOOK A YEAR OF MEMBER FRIENDS WORKING WITH HIM.

THE NEW MISSION PRESIDENT IS JUST AS COOL AS PRESIDENT JOYCE.

I HAVE NOT YET MET MY NEW COMPANION, SO IT IS EXCITING!

THAT IS A NICE DESIGN FOR THE PHOENIX TEMPLE. I LIKED GOING THROUGH THE DRAPER TEMPLE. I WILL ALWAYS STILL HOLD A SPECIAL PLACE IN MY HEART FOR THE MESA TEMPLE.

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR THE LOVE AND SUPPORT YOU ALL GIVE ME IT HAS MADE THE MISSION THAT MUCH EASIER.

I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH

Five new posts have been added below, be sure not to miss any of them.


DEAR FAMILY,

WELL OUR BAPTISMS DID NOT HAPPEN DUE TO ILLNESSES IN THE FAMILIES. SO THEY HAVE BEEN GIVEN NEW DATES. IT IS EXCITING TO SEE THEM PROGRESSING. WE HOPE TO HAVE THEM BAPTIZED IN JULY.

THIS WEEK HAS BEEN CRAZY!! WE HAD OUR MISSION CONFERENCE ON FRIDAY IT WAS FUN BUT ALSO SAD TO SAY GOOD BYE TO PRESIDENT AND SISTER JOYCE. THEY WERE RELEASED ON MONDAY SO WE HAVE A NEW MISSION PRESIDENT, IT IS PRESIDENT AND SISTER OLSON.

IT HAS BEEN A RELIEF TO BE ABLE TO GO TO THE TEMPLE EACH WEEK. I LOVE GOING THERE... YOU WILL HAVE TO TELL ME WHEN THE PHOENIX TEMPLE IS STARTED. I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT DESIGN IT IS OR IF THEY WILL DO A NEW DESIGN.

WE GET MAIL DELIVERED EACH DAY HERE THROUGH THE POSTAL SERVICE THE MISSION OFFICE SENDS IT TO US AFTER GIVING IT A NEW ADRESS FOR WHERE I AM CURRENTLY SERVING. I HAVE NOT GOTTEN THE PACKAGE YET BUT IT COULD BE ARRIVING AT OUR HOUSE TODAY. ELDER BOHNE SAYS THANKS FOR THE BEAN BAG.

OUR GOLDEN INVESTIGATOR IS DEFINANTLY GETTING BAPTIZED ON THE 11 OF JULY. HE IS AMAZING HE FEELS GUILTY IF HE DOES NOT READ THE SCRIPTURES EVERY DAY.

SO HOW IS YOUR 21 DAY CHALLENGE GOING? HAVE YOU BEEN INVITING ANYONE? IF SO HAS ANYONE ACCEPTED THE INVITE?

I HAVE LOST ABOUT TEN POUNDS SINCE I HAVE BEEN OUT THAT IS WHAT IT WAS LAST TIME I CHECKED. I HAVE NOT BEEN TRYING TO LOSE WEIGHT BUT I THINK I WILL START TO WORK ON IT.

TELL SIS DEASON I SAID HELLO.

IT IS EXCITING TO HEAR THAT MONSOON SEASON IS GOING TO START SOON. THERE IS NO REAL RAIN HERE.

HAVE FUN,
LOVE ELDER LUNT

HEY,

WELL I AM ON A GHETTO COMPUTER SO THIS E-MAIL WILL BE SHORT.

TWO OF THE BAPTISMS WILL GO THROUGH BARRING ANY CRAZY CIRCUMSTANCES. WE GOT A GOLDEN INVESTIGATOR. WHEN WE WALKED IN HE SAID THAT HE KNOWS THE CHURCH IS TRUE AND HE WANTS TO BE BAPTIZED. SO THAT WILL BE 11 JULY.

I CANT LOOK AT YOUR LETTERS SO RESEND QUESTIONS NEXT WEEK THAT DONT GET ANSWERED. I DID GET TO SPEAK WITH ELDER HOLLAND FOR A FEW SECONDS.

TRANSFERS ARE ON JULY 8. I GET ALL THREE STAKES AS AN AREA TILL THEN.

WELL I CANT REMEMBER THE REST OF THE QUESTIONS SO I GUESS I AM DONE SINCE I ONLY HAVE LIMITED TIME TODAY, AND IF I TRY TO READ YOUR E-MAILS THEN WRITE IT QUITS ME OUT SO HOPEFULLY YOU GET THIS.

LOVE YOU ALL
ELDER LUNT

PS I MAY BUY SOME SUPPLIES TODAY. AND A LEATHER HOLE PUNCH I HAVE LOST WEIGHT SO I WANT TO CONTINUE THAT IS WHY I AM GOING TO TRY TO STOP DRINKING SODA.
