Because It Snowed...

Hey momma!!

I love you!!  So I am still pretty blown away by this mission and how fast it comes. It is the opposite effect than most other things. haha so you first come out and all you can think about is that they 2 years will never ever come and how long this is going to be and most of us would love to come home after what 6 months? But then you blink and you actually are getting ready to go and all you want to do is stay and you don’t feel like it was long enough and ya, haha that is where i am at right now. I am about to be pulled away from this valley kicking and screaming as you would put it. hahah I do love my mission momma! Yes i am excited to not have a ton of missionaries to keep track of, but man I don’t want it to end. If i could just get married and keep doing this forever with my wify than i would in a heart beat! All I wanted for christmas was a few of your candies, but can you send me like an entire box of peacon logs? :) That is all that i desire :) oh and someone who wants to be baptized, that would be great as well :) I really miss fischer. I think that i am most excited to spend some good quality time with him. i want him to teach me in the first few days how to drive his truck, because i am considering getting a manual truck when i get back? Thank you for not lending out my things, you know how I am on that :) I am excited to be able to skype you guys, can you get it up on the tv so that i can see you all at once? I might get a little trunky then because it will be like 4 weeks before i get to see you in person at that point. haha how weird is that. Anyways momma I love you! I am so thankful for all that you do for me! Will catching fire be out on dvd before i get home? I want to watch both of the movies really bad? Anyways keep pushing forwards momma!! And have a Great week!!

Firm But Loving....

Hey momma!!!


I do know that the mission office staff is very aware that i am reaching the end, haha they like to remind me that time is running short. Maybe they will ask me to extend? Chances of that are slim right now throughout the entire world, but I guess we will just have to ride it out a little longer and see what happens. We were taken care of for thanksgiving, I ate to much food like normal. haha but It was a good day. I had an interview with president chambers to renew my temple recommend, it had expired at the end of this month, So ya but all is well here, we are still working really hard for more miracles, I know that they are coming. I love you momma!! I hope that you have a great week!! Can you believe that it is december already?

Hey dad!! haha one of the district leaders got me to talk one day and i explained to him how i was raised, it was smart of him because now he understands the thought process that i have when it comes to stupid stuff :) I am finding the line between being firm but loving at the same time. That line is hard but from my experience the missionaries that told me straight up exactly how it was were the missionaries that actually had an impact on my life, and I really hope that I never hear that if I would have been a little more bold that they would have been able to stay on a mission. But yes father i will be careful :) and a little more understanding. So we felt prompted to go to a house of a lady that cancelled our lesson. And as we got there we found that they had recently been told by their land lord that they have 2 weeks to be out of the house and were put in a very hard position. They were gone all day looking for a place to stay until they figure things out. They had been stressed and they asked us for a blessing. It is so important to always be worthy of using the priesthood. We did and you can just see how big that was for this family. I love it. 

Is it not crazy how fast time is going? I love you dad, I hope that you have a great week!

2 Months AWAY....

So ya this week was a good week as well :) I am trying to hold back and pull as hard as i can on the reigns so that the time will slow down down a little bit, but we will have to see, it is not working as of right now :) So unless the president asks me to extend my mission which i honestly don’t think is going to happen, then i will be home on the 30th. My release date says the 29th and they sent missionaries home on thursday, so I will most likely be walking off the plane sometime on the 30th. Crazy to think about huh? That is only 2 months away. Haha i cant believe it.
But hey On a brighter note there is a family that i worked with at the begging of my mission that the father now is active because of the influence we had on the family and has now received his temple recommend back.
I love you momma!! You are the best momma in the world! Have a great week and remember that I love you!

ps. no cats were kicked this week, maybe next week :)

Hey dad! i dont have very long, I wrote mom first so she will be able to tell you the fun that i had this week. The time is coming down fast and I feel like i am learning more and more every day! That is for sure. It didn’t think it was possible. i learned something really cool about baptism the other day that i will have to show you when i get home :) Your the best dad,i cant wait to watch the super bowl with you! Its going to be great! I love you dad!

Have a great week Love your son, Elder Cache Summers

I Football Kicked a Cat...

Hey momma!!!
I love you so much!! And i see that you are counting down.  So talking about the spirit, isnt it such a great feeling when you trust a prompting form the spirit and you listen, and than you get a confirmation that you did the right thing. I have been trying to do that recently when it comes to helping out missionaries, and it is crazy the things that happen when you take the time to listen :)  So we had a baptism this week and i got to baptize her! She is a 10 year old girl named Lily. It was a great experience! But a close second, i think you might be proud of me. I football kicked a cat!! haha it was just sitting there and i dont know where it came from but i am really allergic to those stupid things, so i kicked it away and it did a complete 360 through the air and was about waist height and went a good 15 feet! haha i think i will pick that up as a new hobby! It felt so good! I thought that you and the family would appriciate hearing that :) I hope i have made you proud with the baptism and then laugh with the cat.:) It was just a great weekend with those 2 events! I love you so much momma!!! Have a great week momma!! I dont need anything for christmas, and i wouldnt want you to send things that i will just be bringing back home. So I have no idea, but maybe i can get a combined christmas and birthday present of a steak dinner cooked by dad and an iphone! That would be just amazing!  I love you so much!!

Hey dad!

I had a great week this week! We had an investigator get baptized on saturday and confirmed on sunday. It was great, she asked me to baptize her so i did. she is the second person that i have performed the ordinance for on my mission. I loved it. Also there was this cat that was wandering around by me feet and i kicked it like a football!! Haha it was a great feeling. You would have been proud of me :) It was about waist high, did a complete 360 in the air and traveled about 15 feet. not a really good kick but it is a start for sure. now I gotta get one to do a back flip. Also dont tell mom this but i had the first experience of falling off of a roof this week. It actully doesn’t hurt as bad as i thought that it would. i was getting on the roof to re-roof the house for a member that we know and the ladder fells as i was transitioning from the ladder to the roof, and i fell with it, so the ladder was an A frame ladder, and as i was falling my leg went i between the little rod that keeps it open, so that caught me and through me into the fence as me and now the ladder are falling together, scraping my down the chain link fence to the ground. I jumped up like nothing happened, it was probably only an 8 foot drop, but the back of my leg was bruised pretty good, and when my head hit the fence i got a few good cuts on the back of my head and some up my arm as i rubbed on the fence. It was not graceful at all, but I know that i was blessed. The missionary that was holding the ladder let go and walked away right as i got to the top. but i stood up, straightened that ladder and climbed back up it and got on the roof and worked. So i have successfully roofed my first house. It was a great week in other words. I love you dad, have a great week

Out Here Living Those Mormon Messages....

Hey dad!!

i wanted to thank you for being so hard on me and teaching me the right ways. I have learned a lot just from the way i saw you react to the things that we have done that you have corrected. So thank you for the beatings that i got when i was little and also for you teaching me how to have common sense. It is great! so thank you dad! i know that you don’t want to hear that missionaries are not perfect but in all reality, we are a bunch of kids with a lot of authority for the work of salvation, and sometimes people need to know exactly the effects that they are having :) I hope that all goes well for you this week. I will be praying for you when you go to texas. that will be a rough time :) anyways,i love you dad! have a great week and dont work to hard. I prayed a few time for that baby and i knew that he would be healed. Who couldn't after recieving a blessing from you. If anything you do have a lot of faith. thank you dad.

Love Elder Cache Summers

Hey momma!!

I can always count on you to have a letter waiting for me on pday :) thank you that means a lot. i wont get very many more of those, that is a depressing thought but it is the truth :/ Haha what are you and the faaashaa going to do when you dont have a missionary to write to? Haha that will be weird huh? It would be legit to have hayden and fischer and I in the same room again for a little while :) It would be such a funny room if that were to happen :) I have not seen that new message but it sounds legit! I dont have any access to that kind of stuff so i will have to see it all when i come home, which will be alright, I am out here living those mormon messages right now so that is way better. If you watch the Ill go where you want me to go message that was filmed in my first area! I actually reactivated a family that lives in one of the houses that you can see :) Funny huh? I am happy that it is snowing as well, alaska needs to prepare for me to tear it all up on the machines this winter, so there better be a lot of snow. Anyways mom I love you so much!! Your amazing! And that spider was some kinda Gardener freak? The thing was like as big as my freakin head. you should have seen me trying to catch it, I looked like a little girl, but that thing was not ok :) I have a new companion, he is from Johansburge South Africa!! Who would have thought here in utah huh? He is white not black but the kid is legit, I am still a zone leader and i stayed in my area :) Ok have a great week!

I Still Love The Mission....

Hey momma!!

The house we stay in really is a dream house, but i can never see myself in a place like that. You should see our land lords cabin. Wow! I am doing my best to lose myself in this work and it is working very well! But all that does is make time go faster and I really don’t want that to happen. I love you guys but i would rather be here and work forever. it will be a sad day when i have to get on the airplane. Oh and i have decided that children with red hair really are the cutest little things in the world! I don’t care what others say that is a fact :) Leadership is a blessing, I have now realized that in the scriptures that prophets are only ever sorrowful and burdened because of there stewardship's stupidity. I agree and it is the same for me :) Anyways i love you momma! you are the best momma in the world! Have a great week! can you believe that it is almost halloween?!?!?!??!?!?

Love your son Elder Cache Summers

Hey dad!

I agree with you the time is going by way to fast. Each day that goes by goes faster and faster. I often hope that it will slow down a little bit but it never ceases to amaze me that it just continues to slip by faster and faster.

On more of a serious note I will pray for the Hayes baby, i do believe that he will be healed. If it has been done before than why not now. The lord works the same yesterday, today, and forever. Hebrew 13:5 i believe. And i am convinced that in the near future you will be the bishop, your calling is a preparatory calling for area seventy or apostle or something :) haha just messing around, if the lord needs you there than he will call you. one of our bishops in our stake down here is 31 i think and there was one in one of my areas that was 28. crazy huh? Have you been to the temple recently and seen the new movie? If not, please go, it is amazing. I still love the mission a lot!! it is the best choice that i have ever made! This church is true for sure! I love you dad have a great week!

Working Everyday Like It Is My Last....

Hey momma!!!

So that family that we ate with last night love us. He is the high councilman over missionary work and they have 9 kids and they all have scripture names. Abraham Ezrum, Hyrum, Corum, jacob, ect, haha it is great. it is hard to remember them all but it is great. The family is so amazing and i dont know how they can handle 9 kids all under 17 :) The work is still going well. We have an entire nonmember family that should all get baptized, so that is going to be freaking legit! I actually do not remember singing that song, i only remember you having me sing yanta taus is toming to town. :) I hope that your weeks are not hard, the lord will always bless us with the strength that we need to accomplish our talks. And plus i will be praying for you so you will be perfectly fine :) I love you mom!! you are the best! I am sorry i wish that i could write some more but I had to write a lot to president chambers because of some of the things that we have been doing to help our missionaries. I swear that Missionaries are going to be the end of me. Haha missionaries are supposed to be perfect what the heck! Anyways I love you momma!! Remember always look up!

love Your readheaded son

Elder Cache Summers :)

Hey dad!

I hope that you enjoy the pictures, I sure dont do a good job at taking them or sending them to you guys. I need to get better at that. I have been trying to focus on writing everything down in my journal. It is going pretty well. I try to write down the things that would be beneficial to the people that will be reading it. I bought a new one on my mission and i am going to try and fill it all up. I should be able to do it.

So I have been in the process of writing you a hand writen letter and talking about some of the cool things that i have been learning about recently.i hope that you enjoy it. It will be in the mail for you sometime this week. I hope that fish gets to finish strong. He is a little animal. i am a little upset that i have to miss the season but it will be there when i get back, he will get to tell me all about it. Every day i am reminded that I dont have very long left on the mission. but i am working like every day is my last in order to do the most good. I dont imagine that i will ever come home as to not distract me. I love this work! Anyways i love you dad! Have a great week. Hang in there, there will be a lot of big fish next year. Thank you for all that you do for me dad! I love you
