Hey momma!!? But ya that rule for fish is pretty brutal but he needs to get it done, he
will never regret it, dad and i saw the turf that the cowboys play on and they had like 6 different fields in one room, it was sweet! I got to eat dinner with joe!! he called my district leader while i was with him and we had dinner at our land lords house! it was pretty awesome to see that dirt bugger again! I gave him my favorite tie and signed it for him :) tranfers were 2 weeks ago and i was tranfered out, but they changed their minds last minute and left me here. they were gonna put me in a tongan ward but they put a missionary that left for home, straightened his life and came back there  but  maybe next transfer :) I can be reassigned spanish and i want to but i dont know if it will or not? next transfer is in 4 weeksi Love you mom!!!!! You r the best! i pray for you every night! Have a great week! i love you!!!

Tell fish good job for me, i couldnt> open his email so maybe next week i will get one from him.> This week i have been trying to increase my faith, so i wanted to> knock on inspired doors, as we walked by a house that we wald by every  day, i felt that i needed to go in the back yard, so i did and there> is a rv back there, so i went and knocked on it, a lady answered that> is 35 and and she was crying, i asked what was wrong and she said who> sent you, and was really stand-offish. so i said we have been sent by> the lord to help you out today, she looked at us and said, please come> inside i need your help. we sat down and she just poured out her soul> to us. everything about her and her life and her problems. she had a> really hard life and was forced to be a prostitute. she is in a very > bad position. but we sat there and listened. she said that she need my> help to make a decision, and the decision was to go to a bar or not> with the man that she is living with and she has a terrible feeling> about it tonight. if she says no than he beats her. so I said do you> believe in god. she said yes, i said do you believe that god answers> prayers. she said " I prayed for help today in making this choice and> for comfort. and you knocked on my door and have comforted me, so yes> i do. so i said " well lets get down on our knees right now and ask
> god what you should do tonight. is that ok?" and she said yes, as long> as you say it. so i did. I prayed for her right there and asked for> him to comfort her, asked that he would let us know what she should do
> tonight, what he would have her do. and after we sat back down. she> started to cry again and she said, well what do i do. so i said " don> go to the bar tonight, you have a friend that will come and help you,
> when you see your boyfriend tell him that you have a bad feeling about> tonight and that you will not go. tell him boldly and be strong and he> will not harm you. if you do this everything will be ok. will you do
> this?" she said yes. we left and she was on my mind all day. the next> day we went over and she was home. she invited us in and looked> better. she said, "after you left my friend came over and talked to me
> for a long time, when she left my boyfriend came home, i told him> exactly what you said and he got really mad and left. he came home a> little while later and i was really affraid. he walked in with food,> he layed me down and cooked me some soup, he than gave me a hug and> said that he trusts my instincts and that he is sorry that he left. > than we watched a movie together and went to sleep. the next morning i> needed to go to town and i didnt have a ride, and my neighbor came> over and gave me a ride and helped me pay for what i needed. i have> never met my neighbor before. everything that you said was right!"> everything that i told her to do she did and she had many miracles> happen for her. Faith is everything!! the lord will always answer us> if we have faith enough to recieve his blessings. That is what i> learned this week. I wanted to share it with you guys and hopefully > that story can bless not only my life and her life, but maybe somebody> elses life to?  thank you for all that you do for me! you are the> best dad in the world!

I Ate a Cow Tongue....

Hey momma!! How are you doing?  The weather is so hot! its rediclous! we have walked a lot and ride our bikes every now and than. its so hot that i sweat no matter what. Its rediculous. but ya all is well in zion, we had a swat team have to take out a member and take him to jail, it was intense, and we also got to eat cow tounge. haha i thought that i wouldnt have to eat anything crazy but that goes to show how weird utards are. haha jk it was actuall really good. the only bad part was that i ate a piece that still had taste buds on it so it felt like i was literally kissing a cow. it was gross for a minute till i chewed it all up. I decided that i can understand mexican alright. so ya i really want to get reassigned to spanish speaking. that would be awesome. but ya the is how my week was. i love you mom. I love you momma!! have a great week!! Ill talk to you later! happy easter!!  love Elder summers 2! :)

hey dad!! hows it going? I miss the snow so much!! its so dang hot here.  I thought that the fog story with the boat was legit. i stood up and said that on sunday. it just came to me and i had to write it down cuz its good. So yesterday a boy got ordained to the office of elder. he is 19 and him and his 2 brothers and sister came to America from samoa and they are the only members in their family. He is going on a mission to west samoa. but he wanted me to help give him the melkezidek priesthood, so i stood in, than he stood up and his 12 year old brother that is like as big as fischer sat down and he gave his little brother the aronic priesthood. it was an awesome experience. I ate a cow tounge. I liked it but it felt like i was kissing a cow so that wasnt ok for a while till i chew it up. did you know that your pinky finger is the same consistancy as a carrot, and you can bite it off as easy as biting a carrot, but your mind wont let you. pretty awesome huh? haha but ya this week was good. we were taken care of for easter. no easter eggs but thats alright., i love you dad!
Peace from Elder Summers 2!!

All of us Humans are In A Fog.....

Hey old fart! happy birthday and congrats on making it another year, i had a few baptisms on saturday, 3 actually and i guess that is your present so you better be happy, what we as missionaries need to remember is that we are representatives of jesus christ, and a promise we give under the direction of the spirit is directly from the mouth of the lord and he is bound to keep his end. preach my gospel was composed in heaven and writen on earth, and in there it says to invite people to be baptized in the first time you meet with them. I have 3 investigators that i invited to be baptized within the first 5 minutes of the first lesson and all of them said yes. if we as members of the church dont invite people to do things, than we are taking away their agency by not giving them that choice to chose right from wrong and damning them, and that is why it is so importent to always invite. invite invite invite. by inviting people to choose the right, you are inviting them to repent. anyways so that is my little chastise for the day, haha so ya anyway consider that, the ward up there is a great word, the missionaies are amazing and its good to hear that they are doing good! i knew that they would get the ball rolling. I got to comfirm a 10 year old boy a member of the church yesterday and gave him the holy ghost. that was awesome! I love giving blessings and getting to use my priesthood, it feels amazing! so i was thinking about commercial fishing yesterday in church and had an apiphany, remember when we would get to the boat and it was so foggy that we couldnt hardly see the front of the boat? Ya well i stood up in sacrament meeting and said this... All of us as humans are in a fog like we were when we are on the boat. the first thing that we do is start the boat and turn on all the electronics and radar and gps, than when the boat is warm, we head out in that narrow little channel with barely any water. we drive off the gps with faith that it will guide us in the right direction. and as we stick to it, we always make it out there to the end goal which is fish. than i related this to gospel of jesus christ, its faith in christ, repentance, baptism, holy ghost and enduring to the end. so all of our boats are off when we come to this earth, we have faith that our boat is still tied up and waiting for us when we get to the dock, when we are baptized, we just started that boat up and its getting warm, when we get the holy ghost we just turned on all of our electronics, the gps and radio and lights and are ready to go and warmed up and we are starting to leave towards our goal, now as we have the faith once again to follow our gps, or the scriptures, prophets, families, pray, commandments ect, than we can navigate the waters of life and safely get to the ultimate goal of catching fish (returning to live with our heavenly father). thats pretty sweet huh? im not sure the concept stuch with the people of utah because they have no idea what its like but you do, you can share that in sacrament if you want, but ya i love you guys, i better get back to work, love ya dad, your the best dad in the world! keep being that great example and go ride your machine, it needs you, make the time :) love you dad! peace!

love elder summers 2  

Hey mom!! How is it going? tell the old fart happy birthday for me! haha i totally fojrgot but i baptized 3 people this week so tell him his birthday present from me is 3 souls! :) haha that better make his crusty butt happy :) ok so i am only allowed to email imediate family, so can you tell grandmas to send me mail so i can respond? Joe was more prepaed before i left than i was, he will be amazing as long as he doesnt let the disapointments of people failing the lord get to him. i would love to see him, maybe he can take me to lunch? is his family coming down with him? and that letter i sent with the temples got sent back because i had to much stuff in the letter, so i need to send you a box, and i have a bunch of other things that i need to send back, like one of my suits, but ya i will explain that all letter, the bottom line is that i need a box to send it in haha, but ya i will get it there soon. I had some amazing things happen this week and a huge disapointment, but as long as you turn to the lord the problems you have and the burdens you bare are lifted from your shoulders. please tell dad to smile, o and as you do the BOM challenge, i challenge you to find the word "feller" and see how many dragon references there are :) haha its pretty awesome how many there are that talk about dragons :) anyway, i love you momma!! thank you for the emails and i cant wait to see you guys in 2 years, this time has already gone so fast that its not even funny, sometimes i want it to slow down, but i am happy none the less :) I love you momma!! keep being awesome and o matter what you do you are always the best momma in the world, just look at how hayden and i turned out, because of you i am able to be here and be a great example to the people in utah. mom i know you said i would say this and i know your probably happy but it is true, i miss you and love you a lot, sorry for the wrinkles i put on you face but i couldn't have ever asked for a better mom, i love you!!! have a great time at work! ill talk to you next week!! i love you!! Peace!!

Nephi Is a Beast...

Hey momma!! conference was amazing!! i have never been more excited to watch it than i was this time, i didnt get to go to it because i am no a senior enough missionary... haha maybe in 6 months i will be? :) we will see, today we can take our jackets off so the heat is killing me but now i dont have to wear my suit coat so it is a littl bit better, my face is tan and im really hot now :) haha jk but seriously its true :) I love you guys!! you are truely the best support i have, i pray about you every night and hope you are seeing blessings in your lives! You are the best mom! i love you!! have a great week!

Hey dad! how are you doing? this last week is like a blur to me! the mission is already flying by and i cant even believe it has been like 9 weeks already! but it will only go faster, the conference was amazing, make sure when you take notes you only right down what the lord inspires you to, if you write to much than the talks dont mean anything to you because you are to concentrated on writing, haha i always make that mistake but i did a lot better this time.. On a mission you get to see the best of people and the worse of the worse, we have a famiy that is realy struggling but we are making progress and we see the devil work on people so much, but its all worth it when you see there eyes light up with he spirit. I am finally comfortable teaching and leading out discussions, it will only get better form here as i get more and more experience, remember to be as nice as possible to every missionary that you see because when members love missionaries, it makes us work harder. we need to see the support of members before we can be the support to those who we invite to repent. I havent given a scripture to you yet for my plaque in the church. i want the scripture to be 1 nephi 3:7. it has been my favorite ever since the begining and i use it en every house. that scripture is the best in almost ever situation. when i need help i turn to nephi because he is a beast when it comes to faith and courage. I can wait to shake nephi's hand in heaven. Ill actually probably give him a hug. Feed off of the faith of others and your seed of faith will grow into a big beautiful tree. as we live others should be able to feed off of our faith. nephi has helped me my entire life much like you and mom and hayden and fish. As joe always says, Let your soul delght in fatness. Haha i love that kid. anyways i better go, i love you all. thank you so much for the support, i coudn't be here now without all the amazing friends and family that i have in my life! make someones week better at every chance that you get so the lord can bless all of our lives more. I love you dad! your a great example to me, I wouldnt be here without your great example to me. Your the best dad. I love you! have a great week!
