Slay The Fish....

Hey dad, thanks for the email. so every night i have been praying that you and fish will be able to find those slimy little buggers. i have asked that if you have faith and are living all the commandments that he will bless you and fish in where you go and that fish will find your nets. so read pray and go to church, and the fish will be there according to yours and his faith. expect the lord to bless you and have faith that he will, and if you do all that you can than he will bless you abundantly. I really miss you guys, but i use stories about you guys to help convert others. so the things that you have taken me to do is helping others come to christ. So we fasted the other day and we fasted for a new investigator and a member to tell us about a family that we can teach and that the non members will be willing to investigate the church. so that day this happened, we had a member text us and tell us he went and asked his neighbor to meet with us and him and his family agreed so we are gonna start teaching them, and than the 2 non members we saw both agreed to investigate the church, and we found a new investigator that day. fasting works so well so maybe fast and pray for the fish to come so that it can help our family. anyways thanks dad, your awesome!! you are the best example that i had and still have here today, i love you and thanks for saying you are proud of me. i worked my entire life to hear you say that you are proud of me and i got it a few times, it made me feel like all i have done has been worth it. i love you dad! jeremiah 16:16 that is you. have a great week and slay the fish!! PEACE!

Sorry That I Went All Missionary On Ya.......

there was a talk in the last general conference that is titled stop it. what happened in the past happened and is done and all we can do now is make the future and present better. I know what you mean that it is the biggest regret that you have but everything happens for a reason. all that can happen now is to press forward with faith. serving a mission in the best thing in the world, but as far as i am concerned you made the right choice to marry mom. i needed to be here in this area in draper utah at this time and none other, if you were to serve a mission then Hayden and I wouldnt have been here at this time to bless the people that we needed.  people that needed me have now come to christ because you decided to have me on january 28 1993 and no later. the missionary work that you have created is a title wave that you cannot comprehend. dad you will be able to serve a mission with mom in a few years and that way you can have it all, a mission, a family who loves you and the blessing of serving the lord :) dont regret the choices you make, because the lord understands. we have a letter our prez wrote us that is bloom where you are planted. you are beaming right now in the ward and you are doing the best work you can be right now as you serve the bishop and the ward. when you are in the service of others you are only in the service our your god, dad you are awesome and the best dad in the world. the greatest blessing in my life that i ever could have recieved was to be born in a family that was led by you and mom because of your example, i am here right now helping people, you made it possible for hayden and i to be servants of the lord :) discouragement is the greatest tool that satan has, and you can stomp your size 10 shoe right on his dirty little face and laugh at him when you feel discouraged. haha sorry that i went all missionary on you. thank you for all you have done and continue to do. I love you dad!! have a great week and remember that you have done all you could have so far for the lord, and all you can do now is press forward with unwavering faith. Love your son Elder Cache Bartley Summers

Hey momma!! i am bummed that i missed that encampment thingy but i like serving a mission better than they will like it there. tomorrow i find out if i am reassigned to the new mission or not. it is exciting stuff! I am willing to be anywhere that the lord puts me because i know i have to find people here in utah. there is nothing better than having been giving this mantle of being a missionary. So something cool to think about is this, everything that was created had to have some sort of intelligence inside of it, all the earth and trees and water was created in heaven and placed here. so this along the lines of patience. when christ created the earth under the direction of our heavenly father, he commanded the elements to form into the earth but he had to wait for them to use their agency and obey. because the elements knew christs voice they knew that they can trust him and they obeyed, but they had to obey and christ had to wait for them to. isnt that interesting to think about, all the miracles like the parting of the red sea, in the name of our god the water was commanded to part, because the water can trust gods will it parted till its task was fullfiled. isnt that pretty cool? anyway wow 80 degrees!! i wish i could feel 80 again!! its been like 95-100 for the past week and it really sucks. anyway all is well i love you guys!! love you mom!! have a great week and i will talk to you soon!! I LOVE YOU!!! :) 

I Have Become More Humble...

Hey momma!!!! umm so all 5 baptisms went sweet! i have a new friend that classifies as best friends, and i know that i told him i would find him before we came to this earth, he looks like he can be my brother and i already volunteered our house for him to come up and stay with us for a little while when we get back. he is so legit. the mission is going great so far. still is the best decision of my life. i pray for you guys all of the time and miss you guys a lot. but yes it is hot down here and it is not cool. i am melting but slowly getting used to it. i have lost some weight and am now down to about 213 so that is cool. i  might have grown to? but ya i love you guys you are awesome!! Have a great week!! I love you momma!!! :)

Hey pops! so that is sweet that you got to go to 2 baptisms. they are truly the best thing on earth, the spirit is always so strong there no matter what and they fill up your spiritual fuel tank. we had 5 people get baptized on saturday and it was amazing all day. the people that came to support were awesome and the wards really stretched out to accept them in with a warm welcome. that is how it should be. congrats on the king, i miss that a lot. if i was there you know that i would have had the biggest most and first. :) haha jk i have become more humble so i would have let you have one of those. Happy fathers day dad, i hope you liked the name tag. i knew that would make you guys happy, this week was full of the spirit and i hope this next week will be as good or better.  i always am praying for you and the family. you guys should be getting all kinds of blessings. so look for them. I love you guys but my time is up. the greeny has fallen a few times but I am always there to pick him back up. That is why we have companions so when one is down the other can pick them up. I love you dad! have a great week and catch a big king for me!!

Miracles Happen...

it is really hard to deal with the emotional aspect when you put in so much prayers and effort and people still chose to not listen, but that is where the
dilligents comes in. thank you so much for being so awesome to me!!
ha the tie has become my favorite tie! thank you for that. So it says
in my patriartical blessing that i am a valiant spirit and because of
that i was born in a good family that is strong in the church. I was
blessed with the best parents in the world because the lord loves me :)
It also says that my parents happiness will come form my rightous
living. it is my goal to make you guys happy :)
 I will see you in like 19 months :)Have a great week mom!! i love you so much! your the best!! :)

So these last couple weeks have been really hard because lessons have cancelled and we have felt like we were doing no good. so we fasted and prayed for a miracle to happen, it has taken 7 weeks but we have 5 baptisms coming up this weekend. one of them we met yesterday. He has been waiting till he turned 18 and we met him yesterday, and i asked him what do you think about baptism, he said i think it is cool, so I said wade, will you follow the example of jesus christ by being baptized? he said yes, and i said sunday is fathers day, will you be baptized on saturday the 16th, he said yes. miracles happen when you are diligent and faithful. I love you guys! keep your head up i love you dad! Ill talk to you next week! keep praying for miracles! have a great week!! love you! Peace from Elder Cache Summers!

Keep Your Head Up.....

hey dad this one is gonna have to be short, but the fish arent there because i am not, they are small cuz you have no competition and i hope you get a bigger one. thank you for always writing me, i am really jealous of you guys and fishing, i am really gonna need to fish with you a lot and do crazy outdoor things, i am melting here but i am gonna make it, maybe, the lord will help me. Keep being the good example that you are for me. i am here because of you and mom. you two are the best in the world!! i love you and always will dad. thank you! have a great week and keep your head up, the boat sounds amazing. ha ill write you next week! catch a big fish for me! peace from elder summers 2

Hey momma!! thanks for the letter! mom you are so amazing, look at the title wave that you and dad have sent out, from alaska clear to argentina, from the top of the world to the other. so i am putting the pictures on my planners that i carry and that is a way that i have to get people to talk with me. i have a few of fish but its time for a football picture and a snowmachine. :) thanks for the prayers, we need them more than ever! i always pray for you and dad and fischer . thank you for the fast sunday tie, everytime i wear it it brings me to tears because our family is together on that day. thank you so much! i love you momma!! you are amazing! have a great Week!! I love you!!!! :)

Go Forth and Be Awesome.....

Hey mom!!! how are you doing! thank you again for the emails! i really love them. life goes on. its good for fish to have to be forced to do his eagle project. he will never ever regret that. now he just needs to put his papers in asap. that way he doesnt do what i did and wait till the last minute. hey mom you are amazing and i love you so much!! have a reat week! the mission is going by fast and soon hayden will be home. I love you!! have a great week!! Ill write you than! go forth and be awesome :)

hey dad!! this week was good we had some success, the lord is really testing my patients to, we have a had a lot of our baptisms fall off this month and it hasnt been very fun but that happens. it has actually been like alaska this last weekend. it was awesome! everyone was complaning that it was cold and it still felt warm I was happy, people here are kinda pansy im not gonna lie. i dont think they could last in ak for a few days. but ya, so in one of or wards we have a 18 year old boy is has down syndrome, and he really wanted to bless the sacrament but nobody would let him. but yesterday one of the priests decided let him do it and so he did. the boy got to bless the water and the priest knelt down with him and said the words to him and made sure that he said every one of them. it took like 2 minutes but the spirit was so strong the entire time, not a kid cryed or moved there wasnt a noice as he blessed the sacrament. i think that the holy ghost calmed all of the children because a very special elite spirit was talking to the lord. It was one of the coolest experiences that i have had. I have a soft spot in my heart for those challenged like him but when others go out of their way to help them it is amazing. thanks for writing me and leting me know how life in alaska is going. i really miss it, i hope that you catch a fish but you have no competition or motivation anymore, you would still lose to me anyway though. ha i love you dad,keep on pushing along and the lord will bless you. have a great week.

Peace from Elder Summers 2
