Hey mom and dad and jake and ashlee,

 

How are you guys doing? ive been doing quite well here in McKenna. its a fairly small town but we still have a Wal-Mart so its all good. the work has been going well this week were baptizing a guy named mark Harris he has been working with the missionaries for years now and so we where able to get him on date to be baptized. Im really grateful that we have been able to do that, the moment I met him I knew we would baptize him so im really happy about that. The other day while we where knocking doors we didn't have much success but towards the end of our two hour knocking session we turned down a road, when we turned down the road it just felt right. we met a kid named Donald who is interested in the gospel  and wants to take the steps to baptism. Im so grateful to be out here and be having all the success that we've had the only explanation is that this is gods work and I simply have the privilege oh serving him. Its hard sometimes but its well worth it. will you guys please let becky and grandma and grandma and grandpa know that im doing well. im so thankful to be out here doing the lords work. Hey how are you guys doing whats new? anything exciting?

 

Okay I love you guys,

Love elder hulet

Hey guys,

 

Something that i have really struggled with is writing you guys :( im really sorry. They only give us an hour to email and it goes by fast. I usually email sarah her and i have grown really close during my mission so im so sorry for neglecting you guys. Will you forgive me. Im going to create a list of people who haven't heard from me and start sending a weekly email to all of you guys. I really love my mission it is the greatest experience of my life the lord is helping me perfect myself everyday the mission is a growing experience :) Okay so my new companion is elder jones he is really cool hes from Layton Utah and hes just a really good missionary he is dedicated to the work. I love being here in lacey.

Two days ago we were able to go put a guy named mark harris on date for baptism, his whole family is active and he comes to church every week but just hasn't been baptized the missionaries have tried for years... i feel a strong connection to mark so im happy that hes made the discisoin to be baptized. I love you guys, Keep your heads up i know that the lord is watching over you guys. Trust him.

 

I love you mom, Iove you dad, I love you ash, I love you jake, and i love you casey and benji

Hey guys i want you to know how thankful i am to have such a good family to love and support me. How are you guys all doing? So we found out that one of the recent converts we had Jolene was a scam artist. she is a drug dealer and she was getting baptized under different names so that she could get free rent on expense of the church. Its kind of a bummer but on the bright side were working with my last recent converts mom

nance. She is really solid and is on date for the 29th of june. Im so happy that we can help her out :) the work is going quite well ive had a few rough days in the past weeks but thats life. I hope you guys are doing well i love you and miss you.

But i gave a talk on forgiveness this week and it gave me the support i need to keep carrying on. Im so happy for jake he is the man and im stoked that hes working on his papers. I think he'll go to argentina or something. . is ashlee driving yet? ha ha she is so short shell need a booster seat jk ashlee i love you. Elder rasmussen and i get along well. were having a great time and we are loving the work. yeah i think ill be transferred in about 4 weeks president doesnt like keeping missionaries up here too long because its pretty hard being out in the boonies. But i love you guys and i hope everything is going well. make miracles happen and have faith in your prayers. I love you.

Dear Mom and Family,

 

Oh guys let me tell you. Im loving forks :) we had a baptism on sunday which was really awesome! Her name is crystal Watson. It was really sweet to baptize her. We found crystal a few weeks ago while knocking doors, when we rolled up to her house she was standing outside with a guy named will. she told us that she had just been watching a preacher on television and she was touched. When we showed up she knew that we had been sent from the lord. Crystal is awesome she has given up drinking and smoking in two weeks! So she's getting confirmed next sunday :) I love you guys and miss you all so much. I love it here in forks ive been able to do a lot of good work here. Last night on conference call in front of the whole mission he gave me props for working so hard and turning forks around I feel very honored that he said that. To be honest its not me, im just willing to help the lord in his work. I freaking love this work so much, one night I had a dream that I had to go home and to be honest I hated it! Guys I love you so much were going to have so much fun when I get home! Jake, Way to go bro! you are freaking awesome and I love you. Ashlee you are too. Dad, I love you. And last but not least Mom, I love you so much. Ha ha I bet you guys don't even miss me! Hey when I get home I hope the big room is clean ha ha. ive got a new comp elder Rasmussen, Hes awesome we get along great! During our 5 to 7 (which is when we knock doors) We entered a gate and once we knocked, 7 huge dogs came running around to the front door! so intense! there was a pitbull, a great dane and a bunch of other mean suckers ha ha we made friends with them so they wouldn't bite us.

 

Anyways I love you guys, and I know the gospel it true, and that tomas s monson is a true prophet of the lord. I love you guys. Bye.

Mom, Dad, Jake, Ashlee,

 

How are you guys doing sorry about last week I had a hard time writing you guys. Its kind of funny when I make it to pday I just want to go out and play! The work is going really well out here we have a few people were trying to get baptized right now. Deanna long, crystal, will, and sam. They are all really great people who were trying to get baptized. Im so grateful to be out here in the mission field right now! Behold I am a disciple of jesus Christ I have been called of him to declare his word among his people that they might have everlasting light. I recite this every morning before I go out. My faith has really grown this last transfer ive had the great experience to work really hard. Just when I think I have it figured out I fall. The savior is my one constant hope, he has never failed me.

 

Mom, how are you doing? is everything going well back at home? are jake and ashlee giving you a hard time about doing chores?? ha ha jk they have usually been better than me when It comes to chores.

Dear Mom and Family,

 

I want you guys to know how much i love and miss you guys! Im loving my mission right now we are totally tearing up the area right now! we had a baptism this week his name is robert woods we kind of had to baptize him on the spot because the only reason why he was staying in forks was so we could baptize him, now hes on his way to new mexico! On sunday a lady walked into the church and asked us if we could teach her the lessons and get baptized the work is really going well up here in forks and we also have about 24 investigators right now. The lord is preparing his people to hear the message and accept it so were looking for those people. Its hard work i wont lie but i love it!! I have without a doubt a testimony of the truth of this work and the divinity of the church and the gospel! I love you guys so much i cant wait to see you on sunday :) okay so were going over to the lougis for dinner and skypeing on sunday so it will be 5 oclock in utah so please invite becky and grandma as well. I love you guys so much
