Yield Does Not Mean Stop.....

 i miss the weather that you are having, you guys dont know how good you really have it, i would give anything for that. Our mission is doing a bom challenge that they want you to participate in with us to build unity. we are asked to start it on wednesday, that is our transfers. we read 7 pages a day and we are asked to indicate all of the doctrine of christ. everytime that you come across a reference to having faith repenting being baptized recieving the holy ghost and enduring to the end in any form, highlight it. so come unto me is included. they say not to do it in your actual scriptures but to go and get a new copy, i recomend the 3 dollar hard back copy of just the bom that we missionaries use.  it is the best thing that could happen. it takes about 30 minutes a day to read 7 pages. so it isnt that bad. i think it would be good for the family, i took a film of me dunking in my prosoliting clothing and everything. we measured before to make sure it is 10 feet and there are no strings attatched. there you go, if you freeze frame it my hand is completely over the rim, i just need to work on throwing the ball down like a boss. anyways all is well here, maybe i will be transfered this time? but who knows? we will just have to see. i am doing my best here to do what the lord wants me to do. you know me, i always get things done and work hard Peace! 

Hey momma, this week has been pretty good i am really excited about next week, it has been long enough in this area but i dont know if i will be moved, honestly i would like to be, it is good to have change, i am the only missionary that has come in within the last 7 tranfers that hasnt been tranfered yet :) haha it is all for a reason, we knocked on a door and this man started yelling at us that we woke up his baby because we knocked like the freakin police! (those were his words) then he proceeded to come at us till he realized that I am 6 inches taller and 60 pounds heavier, so then instead he got even more mad and asked who we report to, so he can call them and tell them how terrible we are, so i said we report to God and you can get a hold of him anytime, he got even more mad but my statement was 100 percent correct :) so i gave him a number and he called it and got madder because the other missionary said the same thing :) the man doesn’t want me to ever come back so in a  few weeks ill go back and ring his doorbell :) i also got pulled over by a cop today, i was going 40 around a round about, because we were late for a teaching appointment, and the cop was on the other side. so he gave me a warning and i have to call the court because i was speeding and i failed to stop at a yield sign. first off yield does not mean stop, and there was nobody to yield too. haha stupid police man :) o well though. i love you!! have a great week and remember that i pray for you everynight! I love you Bye!! :)

I Love Work.....

Hey momma!! so thank you for the letters i know that i can always trust that i will have something from you guys. It means a lot to me to get letters and emails. I am glad that fishman is doing good. I really hoped that our example would help him out. even though it is terrible to lose at football, the games matter at the time but later on they are just memories. I am sorry that you have snow on the mountains. I miss that so much, the summer here has been long and like record hot still. it is poop. I wish me and you can trade but i am just happy that there is a hope of it cooling off. the work is going like always. my comp has no desire to be here, but i am just running him into the ground with work. we never stop and it will either make him or break him. I am going to ride him like a wild horse until he either gives up and leaves, or he mans up and serves the lord to his true potential. He has started to come around a little bit but we will see :). but i am determined to make him a great missionary. that is why i am doing what i am doing. :) but ya i am so happy that we found ryan and that he is getting baptized on the 22nd. It is going to be great! I love you momma!! Love your son, Elder Cache Summers

Hey dad!so when it rains it pours doesnt it. haha sorry to hear that alaska got hit with another yearly hurricane that nobody cares about. I miss having those storms i actually enjoyed them. I miss a lot about alaska. I will never be able to live anywhere else in the world. it is like 80 degrees today and people are already starting to complain that it is cold. i am standing there sweating and they are in a sweatshirt. ha it is funny to me how week the human race is. I consider our family a super sayon race but that is just me :) I have been working on my hops because i am bound and determined to throw down a basketball in haydens face!! haha i can dunk the basketball now but it needs to be better. Sorry about the football games. you know that if I was playing the game would have ended up different. haha jk, but it is good that the team loses sometimes, it will put a fire under their butt. So i told a story in a few wards about the tie that we all wear on fast sunday so that we are one a family no matter where we are. and everybody down here thinks that is the coolest thing in the world. we went to a members house and the mom was like hey thats your fasting tie! and then she said that her daughter who is like 9 prays every night that elder summers (me) and my family will all be wearing the same tie so that we can be together again. haha if that doesnt bring a tear to your eye than i dont know what will. I cant believe how much the members here love missionaries. i think the hardest part of a missson is going home and leaving the people here that love you so much. I never thought that i would have little kids praying for me. It is a really humbling experience when that happens. Those little kids show the most pure form of love. there is a family that i really really love and she has 4 kids all under 12, and the little kids love me so much. at the last transfers they didnt want me to leave (this is before we found out that i was staying.) so the 7year old and 3 year old grabbed my legs and wouldnt let me leave the house. haha it was great but i felt really bad having to leave. they really missed me until i came back because i wasnt transfered :) thank you for all that you do for me. you taught me everyhting that i know. thank you for working me so hard so that i could become the man i am today. I love work. i want to just never stop. Love your son Elder Cache Summers     

Never Be Able to Stop....

Hey Momma,

the new comp is testing my patience. he says he doesnt have a testimony and that he doesnt know why he is here and he is counting the days till he goes home. It is slowing me down in the work but it is all part of the work. I am constantly having him tell me what he believes in the gospel and am trying to build his confidence. We all have trials but i am not letting it get me down. i got him for a reason and nothing else matter. i will teach him everything i know about baptizing. we have put spanish on the side until a testimony comes first :) but yes all is well, i love the gospel more than ever. have a great week!! Love Elder Cache Summers

Hey dad!

but ya we had a miracle this week. a man called us and asked to meet with us, so we went and saw him and i asked him what his expectations are for meeting with us and he said that he wants to live with his family for ever and that he will do anything he can to have that, so we taught about baptism and extended the committment to be baptized on september 22, he said absolutely! we are now setting it all up and it is good to go. the lord will always bless the dilligent and faithful. it really goes to show that the lord is preparing people to meet us and we are led to them and they are led to us also. I love this work and will never be able to stop! have a great week and i will talk to you later! love you dad.
