Trying to Increase My Faith.....

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!!!

Hey dad!! its great to here about all of the stuff that is happening,> I like to here about the ward! 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 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!! 

love elder cache summers! 

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! 

Peace form Elder Summers 2

Be the One that is Giving Selflessly....

Hey there!! the trip sounded amazing!! but where is the picture of you
my sweet mother? I have been telling everybody i meat about you and
how amazing you are :) there are families that want to meet you and
dad because they say that i am so polite that my mom must be amazing!!
haha you are amazing mom!! But yes i have rode my bike, the seat
bruised me so ill have to
ride it more to get it in better shape but other than that the bike is
amazing! I rolled my ankle super bad playing the gay sport of soccer
but i am recovering well, I was taught very well how to deal with that
so im good, the icy hot was a life saver, it happened saturday and we
fasted sunday so i couldnt even take a pain pill! that was fun but ya
all is well here, joe is gonna be a great missionary, im glad you are
still letting him in, i wish i could see the dirty bugger, haha that wouldHey there old man! so i have been wondering what kinda funky fish you
got with the spear gun but by the sounds of it i must still be the
only one man enough to actually spear a fish? haha jk but how did that
go? I wanna spear fish agan so bad! that was some of the most fun i
have had. Man i am gonna miss fishing with you this year, your gonna
be prettty lonely without someone outfishing you every day. thanks for
taking me so much, some of my best memories happened standing there on
that little boat fishing with my dad. I cant wait to do that again in
2014, its gonna be the best! this week has beena hard week in a couple
different ways, we had a lot of lessons bail on us last minute so our
numbers are terible, i think we found the problem and it will be fixed
soon, there are political caucuses on tuesday and thursday and that is
why they all dropped out on us, I found a few new families to teach,
my main project right now is a man who has been in and out of prison
for the last 20 years, tatooed from head to toe but i will change this
mans life and get him baptized, that is my big goal for the next
month.
the new mission opens on july 1 so whatever area i am in at that tim
will be the mission i am in. we have a tranfer in 2 weeks and i think
i will stay here till i am trained, than ill probably be training a
new missionary? there will be a lot of changes soon, 86 of us
missonaries will be reasigned to the new misson and we will know if we
are or not on our transfer on june 27. so just a few days before the
mission opens. so all of us have no clue and i am super excited about
it, i sill think that i will be in the new mission. my dream ever
since i was little was to open a new mission. the lord works in funny
ways to give his rightouse children what they want so we will have to
see.here are some quotes that i heard and wrote down this week that i
wanted to share with you and the family.
-Dont be affraid to stand alone when it is time to stand alone.-
there are times that all of us stand alone in life, be the one that
stands. when i was in dillingham i stood alone and walked 3 miles on
sunday alone to go to church. i stood alone and was judged for it by
man, but i was blessed by my heavenly father. stand alone when its
time and stand alone with pride.
-There is no fear in love, but true love casteth out all fear-
this reminded me of our home, haha thats all i have to say about that
-when you realize that someone in your relationships are giving to you
selflessly, your relationship with them strengthens.-
be the one that is giving selflessly and you will be blessed and
change lives. i love you guys! keep one living in harmony with jesus
christ and be the example to others that you guys are to me, love you
be awesome!! the vidoe was the best!! haha
we wanted to do it, so we went to practice and got it the FIRST TRY!!
no joke, but than when the camera came out it took us like 8 tries to
get that one so perfect! haha arent we the best? ok well i love you guys!!
Ill talk to you later momma!!
i love you!!

Cook Me Like a Bird.....

i have cooked clam chouder and cup of noodles and mac and cheese :)
haha ya awesome huh? i am going to get fruit and meet today and eat
better, our land lords are the best and we get to use all of
there supplies for cooking. read dads email and do what i aske dhim
to. o and i told him to get a book of morman and read it highlighting
all the times it refers to jesus. how has he been doing, he should be
reading 7 pages a day and he will be done in 12 weeks, please do this
as a family and make fischer do it, it will bless your lives more than
you know!! i wanna here back how yuo are doing!! love you guys!! Have
a great vacation! ill talk to you next monday!!

Hey dad!! Wow you guys are out of alaska?? ! I am melting! its been 60 and sunny and
i am tan and sweating. the summer heat is gonna cook me like a bird
and im gonna be a mexican with the tan i will get. So we have a recent
convert named nate and his wife natalie. i love them!! they are 20 and
19 and have a little baby. they werent married and living together and
nate felt that he needed to join the church, but he couldnt unless he
was married. so they got married and he was baptized feb 18, so i
missed it but they are awesome! natalie was in the ER saturday with a
ruptured overian syst and another half the size of a golf ball. So the
fluids are threatening her life and she is in a lot of pain, so i went
over saturday night and i had the oppurtunity of giving her a
blessing. so we gave here the blessing and left their house. so
yesterday in church she walked up to me with tears in her eyes and
said, "thank you so much elder summers, after you left i went to bed
with no pain and today i feel better than i ever have. elder summers
your blessing worked." There is no better feeling in the world than to
use the priesthood power on sombody and see a miracle happen because
of faith!! I will keep you updated on the medical oppinions about
there but wow. I have grown so much this week. the video that i
sent is of me and elder hall in the mtc. were amazing, what did you
think of it? i hope your having fun in the ocean, send me pics. You
guys are great, keep doing the right thing and keep using your
priesthood dad, dont take it for granted cuz it is truly the power of
the lord that we have running through our bodies, its truly amazing.
Have a nice trip guys! love ya! Ill talk to you later!!

It's all for the Lord.....and it's Worth IT....

Thanks momma!! i got to tell the family that we ate with yesterday
that i have the best mom in the world!!! never forget that mom! i am
settled in good, and the people here are so amazing to us! its ball
firing hot though, it was like 58 yesterday!? i thought i was gonna
die!! hey go look at the church news! they are splitting our mission
into 2 missions!!! salt lake city south and salt lake central. I need
to know where mindy lives so i can make sure to find here and dunk her
in the water. but ya everything is fine, i slapped the brit in the
face with my amazingness and knowledge and now he respects me!i love
you guys and miss you a lot!!! peace!!
Hey dad and family!! please keep feeding and helping out the
missionaries and home. I am being taken care of so much because you
are so good to the missionsnaries whenever you see them. it makes a
huge differance in mine and haydens lives when you go out of your way
to feed the missionaries. i have paid for one meal the entire time i
have been here and i know that that is because of you. Thank you dad!!
the best thing that you can do for missionaries is give them people to
teach. the only reason that this mission is so successful is because
everybody in the ward always give us people to teach!! all the ward councils
and meetings here
are getting people active and giving us people to teach. the most
important part of missionary work is fellowshiping people!! and that
all comes from people in the ward. if they get out and make new
friends, the ward will have to split beacuse there wont be enough room
for people. how great will that day be? They have us doing a 12 week
challange and that is reading the BOM in 12 weeks, but we are supposed
to highlight every referance there is to jesus christ. and than write
it on the back cover of the book, so messiah, lord, lord god, just
everytime in mentions his name. i am in 2 nephi chapter 15 and there
is not one page that doesnt have atleast 15 highlights. the BOM is
truly another testimate of jesus christ. Ask the missionaries for a
BOM and try it either as a family or by yourself. all it is is 7 pages
a day. and i promise if you do this, your testimony will grow, and
after 2 weeks you wont wanna put the book down!! the BOM has such a
different meaning when you do it this way. you will get so much more
out of it! the temperature here is hot and i am going to melt in the
summer. but its all for the lord and its worth it. I love you
guys!! and i wanna here from fischer gosh dangit!! i am punching him
threw the computer. that kid needs to write me! i got the box and loved
it, my favorite was the anti monkey-butt
powder! i will use that someday! But ya all is well, we are being
successful. there is no greater joy than watching someone go through
the conversion proccess, seeing the blessings in their lives, and
watching their testimonty grow! fischer if you can get a friend to
take the missionary lessons, you can baptize them because you are a
priest. be smart and do everything as if the lord was watching you.
because he is. make us all proud in everything that you do bro, your a
leader and people look up to you. Be the great example that you were
born to be. love you guys!!! thanks! peace from the land of the
utard!!
