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?

Love your son Elder Cache Summers

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!
Love your Son Elder Cache Summers
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!!
Love your son Elder Cache Summers

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

Hey momma!!!

So we have a lot of moms in the area that i am in now, that have children that are out serving so they all want to call you and send you pictures hoping that they will get one from someone from theirs sons area :) So sorry if you have been bombarded with them but we really can’t say no to that so it happens. Yes i got to go to the conference center. I was the group leader so i was stressed about having 20 missionaries to be in charge of. but all went well, the highlight of the day, as we were walking out we walked behind a legit midget in a midget suit!! and while that was happening a door opened and elder Perry walked by and brushed my shoulder! so i touched an apostle while looking at a midget!! Best day ever!! We get to go through the Draper temple today at 1 so that is going to happen, and we found a complete non member family of 6 who are going to get baptized on the 2nd of November, so once through the temple the week will have been one of the best weeks ever! I am so happy that Fischer won his game! I am really proud of that kid and i miss him. And i am glad that i could help Hayden out to, i miss them both. Anyways I love you momma!! I am so happy that I have more time to serve the lord, i am excited to see you all when i get back but there are people here that need me until then :) I Love you!!

I love you momma!! have a great week!

Love your son Elder Cache Summers

I loved conference as well! I cannot believe that it has come and gone already. Time just goes really fast. I talked about you last night in front of all 6 ward councils in our stake and told them how great of an example that you are to me. Thank you for all that you do for me dad! I couldn’t have a better dad.  Have a great week! I love you dad!!

Chill In The Celestial Kingdom...

I wish that i could see Fischer play football!! dang, we are just going to have to chill in the celestial kingdom, put his senior year up on the big screen and just watch :) Yes I was transferred this time and i feel like it was huge blessing. I love the Ysa but I did feel like certain people were getting too attached to me as I was there and things were starting to get a little weird. I don’t know why people do that but it was for sure the best thing for me to be transferred :) So i am still a zone leader, and i have been called to open up a new zone. My new companion is elder clark, this is his first transfer as a zone leader so i am training him to be a zone leader. i have been directed to make him better than I am, which won’t be very hard because he is a great missionary. I feel really spoiled, they gave me a brand new 2013 ford focus, and the house we live in is massive. I would go as far to say a mansion. There is a huge place we live in and then behind a door there is a huge family room, then behind another door is a theater room with vibrating seats and a pool and ping pong table. :) I will never have a car this nice or a place this nice ever so I think I am just going to soak it all in :) I love the new area, we are going to have a lot of baptisms!! I am glad Hayden likes the bike, it is a sweet bike that’s for sure. I love you mom!! Anyways i better go, i love you mom!! Have a great week!

Love your son Elder Cache Summers

Hey dad!! That would have been so cool to see them butcher the whale! I dont even know how I would go about that? That would be intense. And dang they beat them! I actually prayed for that to happen so i guess it is safe to say that the Lord loves his football :) I am glad that palmer lost. i enjoyed beating them more than i enjoyed spanking wasilla on their field. I do miss football. We will see what happens after the mish huh? I was transferred the people here are very wealthy, but i love them. There is so much potential here. i love my companion and all of the other missionaries that i am working with. We finally have sisters back in the zone, i am still a zone leader and i love it!  President and sister chambers called us on saturday night and they wanted to just come join us in the work, so we worked with them from 6pm to 9pm on saturday, that was so much fun. Every single door that we knocked on opened and let us in! That was the first time that that has ever happened to me. And he got to see us work with the members in the area. I thought it was great. i got to ask him questions and he answered them for me. I love my mission president. I get to go to the priesthood session of conference!! I am stoked! I love you guys! thanks for all that you do for me dad. Have a great week.

I Will Continue To Make You Proud...

Hey momma!!

wow you had a lot to say last night! I am so glad that fischer won his game, i was praying for that to happen! Mom i miss that little kid. It is all good though, he will be fine, and i will get to see him kick butt in track. I will do my best to get the bike to him, we have transfers on the 25th this month so if i have a car still i will make sure to arrange a way to get the bike to him. He is a great guy. I miss him a lot to. It is diffecult knowing how close he is but i must stay obedient :). I love you mom!! Sorry time today is short. If i have a car still than he can use the bike, it is doing nothing as of right now. Keep being amazing momma! i dont even know how you do it!

Love your son Elder Cache Summers :)

Hey momma!!

Did you get the box that i sent home with all the stuff i am gaining on my mission? I might send home one or 2 more boxes just  of the paper weight. Books and planners and such? It will be nice though because whatever i want to leave here i can just give to hayden and holley for a while. they would love that huh? :) How many kids does any have now? twins, haha that is going to be so funny! i will have to ride fishmans sled though, because i dont have one anymore :/ I actually have no idea if i will get one for a while? The mission is still great. I had a bishop have me stand up in church and tell everybody about me and the family and they started asking me questions, than they started asking me what characteristics I want in a wife. Haha super awkward being a missionary in the young single adult ward. I felt like i was in a market and or being sold. haha it was great, and our companion elder Ashby got his visa and he is heading down to Brazil as we speak. It will be good for him and i am going to miss him. I went over to his house the other day and met his mom when he wasnt with me. that was nice. A friends son bo got baptized on saturday and he asked me to do the confirmation, so i got to go down to draper and confirm him a member of the church! That was great! I love that family! They will be friends forever. Anyways mom i love you! Thank you for being there for me!! I couldnt have been blessed with better parents! Have a great week and hang in there!

Love your son Elder Cache Summers :)

What the heck!? you got to see them kill it? Or did you just get to see them drag it up on the shore? Bret has been emailing me recently, it has been great. Is he on the high council of his stake? He knows the scriptures pretty well. We were talking about 1 nephi 8 with why the rod is made out of iron and a few other questions, one being why didnt lehi throw the fruit to laman and lemuel, and why did lehi not notice the great and spacious building untill verse 25 and 26? those are some good questions to ponder about for a little while. That is crazy seeing that whale, but it looked like a baby one? How big was it do you know? I sure hope that fischer gets to go to the playoffs this year. he really does deserve it. How come we have such great youth teams but we cant ever win it all up top? I still love the mission. we have transfer calls tonight so it will most likely be super busy for us having to call 25 elders and tell them where they are going. :) I love you dad! It looks like i need to come and show fishman how to catch a little bit bigger fish huh? Have a great week dad! I love you and i will continue to make you proud!
