Under the Weather

Dear Mom,

So I don't really have much to say cause we didn't do anything this week because I was sick and then Elder Miller was sick so yeah the week was a bust. However on Sunday we got a new Investigator, she came to church with her son and then we set up an appointment for next Sunday after church and she said her husband will be able to come to church next week so that is going to be awesome. We find out if we get transferred this Saturday so I will let you guys know. I love you mommy! Also I kinda know what I want for Christmas, another pair of Doc Martins so then I will have two of them and I will switch them out, I will send the other brand that we bought back home and use them when I get back, because they are great Sunday shoes but I think terrible mission shoes, they aren't great for biking. Well, ok they might be good car area shoes but I don't know I really like Doc's. As well as I would like the new Hobbit CD when it comes out. I love you and read Mosiah 2: 41 because it is a great motivator of what we will receive if we follow the commandments.

Love

Elder Hyde

Mosiah 2:41

"And moreover, I would desire that ye should consider on the blessed and happy state of those that keep the commandments of God. For behold, they are blessed in all things, both temporal and spiritual; and if they hold out faithful to the end they are received into heaven, that thereby they may dwell with God in a state of never-ending happiness. O remember, remember that these things are true; for the Lord God hath spoken it."

Elder Hyde will be a USU Aggie Fall of 2015

Yay I have been accepted to USU! It would be much easier if you would submit my deferment form.

I bet dad likes having his Africa twin back and is actually in Africa haha, and yeah I do heavy lift for anyone here and that is fun that your gardener helped do the lifting there. 

That is crazy, that it is just you two there, and yay dogs, I like dogs, well off my mission anyways, they are hard to deal with when they are barking at you and you are trying to share a message with people. That is fun, collies are fun. Yeah sure, you aren't going to let her into the house, I give it like 2-3 months until she is an inside dog, yeah dad will make a nice dog house. That is good that she doesn't bark or growl or anything and are you going to take her with you when you move? That’s a fun name, Dolly. haha no I bet she isn't like Samson because no dog is Samson.

I am glad you had fun at the Marine Ball.

That is fun you got to teach Young Women there. We are helping out at mutual next week and doing the same lesson kinda but a little different, that is cool that there is a lot of young women, 15, that is more than we have in this ward.

Well I don't have a story this week but uhhhh I met a cool old Korean man so that is fun but yeah nothing else.

Using Classic Cars in Contacting

Well we knocked into a man named Loren because I saw the 1973 white with blue racing stripes, Chevelle in his driveway and it was beautiful, we were talking with him and I shared a scripture with him, Mosiah 1:6 “O my sons, I would that ye should remember that these sayings are true, and also that these records are true. And behold, also the plates of Nephi, which contain the records and the sayings of our fathers from the time they left Jerusalem until now, and they are true; and we can know of their surety because we have them before our eyes.”

I am still working on my door approach so when I get home and go door to door in the doors asking girls on dates I can be like Hello I am the person named Seth, and I have something that can improve your life, namely food but as well me, and if there is a better time that I could come back and talk with you more that would be great here is my card with my address and phone number on it as well as the best times to reach me, if I could just get your information so it would be easier to do scheduling that would be great, thank have a nice day, ok on to the next door, Hello I am......

Oh yeah sorry, sorry. so after I shared Mosiah 1:6, I gave him a Book of Mormon, and then we were talking to get his info and just to get to know him some and figure out the best time we can come back and tell him more, he told us that he was retired so anytime kinda works and I asked him what did he retire from and he said from working on cars and as well as racing and then he takes us into his garage and shows us his stock car it was awesome..... I touched it and it was the backup though his normal one was out in the trailer in the back and then he had another on the driveway for sale it was for $25,000, I said I had 5 bucks what would that get me, he said maybe half a nut, hahaha.

We then walked to another street and saw an old lady washing her windows, also we went to talk to her because there was a 1940's Cadillac and a 1950's Lincoln in her driveway, so we offered to help she said no and then we kept talking and then we said we felt bad for standing there while she kept working so we washed her windows for her and that was fun, and cool because Elder Kottcamp, one of the Zone Leaders I was on splits with, did window washing for the big stores like Target and whatnot before he came out so we did an awesome job because I was tall so I got the high stuff he couldn't.

Then we were out and about visiting less actives, none whom of which were home by the way, so we decided that night we would go out to Carl's Jr. to eat and the lady taking our order asked where the nearest building was and when it was at so I gave her a card with the address and the time and our phone number on it, she didn't come yesterday but we will stop by the Carl's Jr. again and hopefully catch her there and talk with her more.

We helped out at the ward's Halloween party. Elder Miller was a judge for the chili contest and so that was fun. We have a photo we will send you soon from that, we are still getting it. We just keep doing work because yeah, that's what we do here is work.

Love, Elder Hyde
