Everything is going great here in montana, we are working hard and loving it. The office is keeping us swamped with work and then we leave each night for about 2 hours to proselyte the missionaries before me were teaching on avg 0-4 lessons we are avging 11, which is amazing for just 2 hours each day im going for 20 by the time i leave the office each week or even more if i can. I pretty much just tell my companions how it is, I am here to work and party while doing it if u dont like that i dont give a crap, thx lets go teach. This week new missionaries came in and we got to train them plus get alot of good food while doing it. Today old missionaries are going home so we get a really good meal but our p-day is cut short to go get ready for it. We have been playing some pretty hardcore ultimate frisbee/basketball on p-days its great. Im still giving old man Elder carter a heart attack atleast once a day, i am usually rolling on the floor laughing when it happens. I wore this amazing tie and president did not like it and banned it hahahah same with sister fisher, i have some great pictures haha. I also have the ugliest tie in the world which is being saved for zone conference but that is our secret. Everything is going great in montana except its like 27 degrees today WHAT THE HECK ITS LIKE SUMMER, but oh well hopefully it gos back to being warm i hate suit jackets lawl. Well love u all it was great talking to u on sunday dont party too hard without me, 16 months and we will have a drpepper/chipotle party haha

Elder Oaks Visit
4/22/09
We saw Elder Oaks a few times this past weekend he is a really enthusiastic, very crazy speaker, in the Saturday adult session we were laughing all the way through it, he was just making jokes the whole time. Sunday we got to have a special just us missionaries meeting with him. You know he is only like 5 foot 7. We got to go up and shake his hand. Conference Sunday he went around to everyone before the meeting and shook everyone's hand it was cool to be in the presence of an apostle. He opened the missionary meeting up for question/answer it was really cool. He talked about keeping our line in the water always and told the story behind what he wrote in preach my gospel. It was extremely cool. HE then described the missionary selection process in detail. Saturday night he told us sooo much stuff and he had to of said at least 10 different times, now I don't want to read this on the internet tomorrow hahahaha. It was a pretty cool experience, we cleaned the mission home up real nice and the office, because there was a high possibility he was going to stop by. When we were eating dinner Saturday night I was like 5 feet from him.
