We didn't do much yet everything happened... so this letter, fair warning, will be a little crazier then normal...
Started the week off with an exchange with elder Upshaw in springfield, we had such a great day, nut we dealt with aomw other elders personal problems so didnt get to do much... what time we did have it was awesome, we knocked on a former who had been ready for baptism but wasnt willing to comite yet... after talking him he chose his baptiamal date himself and toldmus it was his time...
Also got 4 refferals from the members there... they hadnt recidved a refferal all transfer long, it was crazy... one of them was a family of four and when we called them they expressesed how nice thenchurch they went tomwith there friend was and they they want to do what ever it takes to join it... they havent had one lesson or even know what missionaries are lol it was like god opened the heavens and said catch as muxh as you can...
It didnt stop there we looking for a less actice member, we learned he died but his nieghbor was outside and told us all this we contacted her and she is firm in her church but said we can do a weekly discussion then once she knows what is in the church if she still likes it she will nove over!!!
One last miracle we knocked a different person they were teachings house and they have been trying to get in contact for a month now... she was home but heading off to work:( and wasnt interested at all, but her husband was there and asked her who we were we talked to him and then had a very powerful restoestion lesson on the spot! It was great... elder upshaw deffinately needed that day and so did i...
Just to update you, jacob took his wallet and left... and hasnt been back, they have had no contact with him.... lol god gives and takes in a moments notcie you just need to focus on the food :)
I want to talk about my dad for a moment...
There was a time at home when my mom was on vacation, me and my sister were fighting, him being a good parent went inbetween us to stop it... what did we do we told him he was worthless that we dont want to be in the same household, and a lot more, what did he do he told us i still love you and did the dishes, did the laundry and went to work.
I hope someday i can achieve the amount of humility he has someday.... thanks dad...
I hope that helped someone, its just been on my mind a lot lateley i thought in would share
I got to go on an exchange ET with elder Bara a zone leader on thursday and saturday....
We saw so many miracles it was so much fun!
We went to do service for brother collins, a guy who i looked at and i have met him for ten weeks now and was giving up on helping him and was focusing on his neighbor, by the end of service, he walked up to us and said just to let you know me and my wife will be at church not thisnsunday bur next sunday! I was shocked... i could barely believe it... when ever i talked to him he reffered to us mormons as if he wasnt one, and now he is coming back to chuch! No one is beyond the reach of God!
But while we are cleaning the gutters i do something thats not that smart and i jump off a four foot latter and grab onto a 14 foot house... i pull myself up and we get to work (did i scare you?)
5 minuets later the neighbor comes out and yells i have a taller latter if you wanna borrow it, we say were alright, he will use the latter and i am already on the roof... he goes back inside and then 5 minuets later he yells how much do you charge? We then explained we cant take his money, no check to the church or cash... but we would be happy to clean his gutters...
He told us i can not let you do this for free...
We get working on his gutters and yells at us i am going to subway, you can not say no i am buying you lunch... what do you want LOL, i love thst man
An hour latter we are done and we he invites us in and we taught him and aparently his three daughters and wife the restoration and they are all new people we are teaching now! And he has texted us daily asking random questions or thanking ua again, i love him!
However that family is very anti big groups so getting them to come to church is gonna be a process...
On Saturday (also with elder bara)
Now this is the guide to how you get trunky
Step 1 have a companion that goes one in a week
Step 2 be asked to do service for a wedding
Step 3 the brides sister gets up with a gutar and sings a bunch of love songs you used to listen to...
Step four Then members walk up to us and ask which of you twos wedding am i going to next.
Then asks if we have options and if we say we dont think thwt far he lists off options from the ward for us to marry and move back...
Lol trunky town
Trunky definition, your mind is think about girls or home and not on the work.
We had a sweet experience on sunday when remy comes to church again, and president and sister welch is give a talk inviting the ward to do missionary work... the ward surounded remy and now we have a meal and a lesson with him like 4 times this week i am so excited... but this ward likes the food a little to much... it seems like all i do is eat and eat somedays
Last thing
Me and elder shefield patched up penny after she ran into a wall and got a 4 inch cut a centameter thick.... i have some clothes thst i throw away because they are beyond repare...
I just got to say thank you first aid merit badge... and my own history of being accident prone... elder bara and elder jeppesen had to leave they couldnt handle the blood... dont worry i didnt send any bloody pictures 
Love yall hope you ahve a great week
-Elder Jarvis
