Good Morning,
This week was another great week. Yes, the weather has cooled off quite a bitWe have had lots of rain as well. Daylight savings has started so nowit's dark by five. It’s really weird but we got an extra hour ofsleep. That was nice. Yes I have the same companion. Today we will be playing sports again. It’s probably the funnest andmost relaxing thing you can do as a missionary. Last Halloween we went out and worked. This Halloween they wanted usto stay in and clean if we didn't have any appointments. We had acouple appointments and after teaching a couple lessons we went in andcleaned the rest of the time. No thought of the week but I’ll try really hard to have one next week.Sorry. We’ve just been really busy which I’m not sorry for. The busierthe better... you can never be too busy as a missionary. This week I got to curb stomp our investigators cigarettes. If youcurb stomp a person you make them bite a curb on the side of the roadand then you stomp on the back of there head with your foot. Verypainful! Well I did that with the cigarettes. He went from 2 packs aday to 3-4 cigarettes a day and now he's gone a couple days withoutthem so he can be baptized. While filling up with gas this week, a man walks up to my companionand asks him what church he was from. He then asks if he was on thestreet early this morning in which my companion replies no we were inour apartment. The man opens up his shirt and shows us his U.S.Marshall badge and says were you on the street earlier selling drugs?No, my companion replies and the man says can I see your licenseplease... you are under arrest.CRAZY!!!! The man also had a lady in his car and she had a couplebullet bandages on her body (the big ones you see in the movies.) Hethen explains he's just kidding. He’s a member of our church but is onhis way to go and arrest a couple people and asked us if we'd like tocome along. As much as we wanted to we denied. He introduced us tothe lady in the car. It was his wife. That’s some of the excitement we had this week. Thanks for the Ensign Love Elder Yeaman

Good Morning,
This week our zone had interviews with the mission president and I asked for, in my final
interview if I could get a blessing so that I would know what talents
and abilities I have so that I can have guidance as to what career I should look into. The thing is there's a lot of things I can do, butI'm not great at them. I can't really do much with typing or
piano for instance because my forearms start to hurt and I'm not very
fast. I like to cook but i'm not great at it. President said he'd give me a blessing when I have my final interview.
Maybe the blessing will help me so when I do take the aptitude test it
will be more effective than the one I took in high school.
Did you get my itinerary? If not I fly in at like 9:00 am or something like that.
Josh sent me an email today. Since he is in California, he might come by today and pick up my bike. I'll have to call and get permission.
This week we ate a King Palace Buffet. I ate there at the start of my
mission and that's where I ate raw and cooked clams, cooked
oysters, and craw fish for the first time. I also ate octopus this
last time.
I think I might buy myself a cd today for my birthday next week. Alex Boye's Christmas cd.
These past few months have been really hard to keep up in my journal.
We've just been super busy and there's a lot that we have needed to
do. Today I'm going to try and catch up. I'm missing about eight days
that i'll just go back and fill in. Today we will also do sports and I will give my companion
a haircut.
Thanks for all you help and support. I'll be on a little longer if you
need anything.

Good morning,
This week was amazing. This week was tough but it was a goodfaith-building week as well. This week he had over six of ourinvestigators loose interest. However, about 3 months ago we started teaching thisperson but her boyfriend she was living with was againsteverything. Things became pretty bad and he wouldn't let her see us.A month later she called us and said she was moving out of her boyfriend's place.Then her phone stopped working. We didn't know where shewas living and so there was almost nothing we could do. So we wroteher up on our white board so we wouldn't forget to pray for her. Weprayed for her everyday, several times a day for an entire month thatshe would be reminded by the spirit to get in contact with us. Well onSaturday, after a long hard week, with our hopes not to high becauseof the things that took place this week, we received a call from her.She’s getting settled in and wants us to start coming by and teachingher. This time she has no one to hold her back. What a blessing! TheLord is merciful, he does answer prayers, and he does love all of hischildren. We received a witness after the trial of our faith. To answer your questions; The octathon was fun and we have 6 sisters in our zone. Yes I’m staying here this transfer. Yesterday was the primary sacrament meeting and it wasy way good. We had some investigators show up to it and they really liked it.Busy week.This week we ate at a place called the Soup Plantation. It’s likeHometown Buffet but I like it a little better. I don't really have toomany updated pictures. All of my recent ones were on the card I lost.I’ve taken a couple since then but not much. I’ll try and take more. For Halloween they want us to deep clean our apartments if we don'thave any appointments. We have a couple for tonight but if they fallthrough we'll come back and clean.Elder Yeaman's quote of the week. “Your foot bone's connected to yourankle bone..."I won't for give them until they apologize, they started it, I didnothing wrong. Elder Lynn G Robbins also talked about forgiveness, andhow it's so crucial to forgive everyone regardless of what they havesaid or done. And he talked about how silly it is not to forgivesomeone until they apologize. He share with us the account of theatonement of Jesus Christ. How Jesus, at that point, had forgiveneveryone who was, is, and was to come, from sins that they had not yetcommitted. The atonement was made for everyone. We should be willingto forgive everyone. When Jesus prayed with his disciples he asked thefather to make his disciples one with his as he is with God. Can we beone with God if we are not one with our fellowmen? Can our footdisagree with ankle? No because it is apart of one body. So we cannotbe one with our fellowmen if we do not forgive. If we do not forgiveregardless of what has happened we are not apart of the body ofChrist. Love Elder Yeaman
