Bees

Kimmer :)   I loved the pictures of Livy. You tell her to be happy and no more growing until I get home than she can do whatever she wants after that. :p. That’s one rule that I have a hard time trying to follow...is not holding kids. Kids just love me and it’s so hard not just to play with them for a while after teaching a lesson. There is this little girl Errow that I picked up for a second and reminded me of Cletus. :( Sad.

Everything here is going good in Carrollton. Transfers are on Wednesday and most likely Elder Summers is going to be transferred. But who knows. Whatever the Lord wants to do for the area is what I’ll do, so who knows who could be leaving. I kind of hope I stay though. I like Carrollton. School is just coming back in so maybe the work will pick up a little bit and we will have more lessons and people to teach. Tell Chris congrats for me! I’m glad that’s going to be soon. We will actually have a baptism on the 1st and then again on the 15th. So that’s awesome!!!! I’m so glad and excited.

Well not much has been happening around here but here’s a funny story that I love telling people. So we went looking for a lady that lived in the area. So we came to her house and asked these 2 guys if she lived there. As we are asking this guy, he is rolling a fat joint right in front of us and was just being rude to us. Later as we keep talking he finds out that we are Christian and he stopped being rude because he thought we were j-dubs. Than he told us that quote "I’m Christian too, I just like to get high" oh boy that was so funny!!!!

Then a couple days before that a family in our ward has an original 2nd edition Doctrine and Covenants copy signed by Joseph F Smith from like 1900's!!! And guess who got to hold it! That’s right, this good looking guy over here. My hands really wouldn’t move. It was really hard to explain and they said that their neighbor might give them a Book of Mormon original too!!!

Garrett is still progressing very fast. He leaves for 2 weeks on Sunday and wants to get most of the lessons done by then and have only a few things to go when he comes back before the 15th. He took us out to Cracker Barrel to eat and then bought us a tie. He has really truly been prepared by the Lord and is so ready to enter into that covenant that Chris wants to. It’s crazy to see how things happen to help someone find the gospel. All it took is a baby to change both of your whole life around. Super crazy!!!

Sara Galbraith is still set to be baptized on the 1st. So not only will I go to Sara’s baptism but I’ll be able to be there for Chris' to. Maybe not in person but I’ll be there and spirit. I’m so excited for him and his willingness to come to the Savior. He’s such an awesome guy. I still look at the wedding announcement every day. I have it hanging on my desk :) but Miranda is another one that has been so prepared by the Lord from the stories I hear. Her husband Randy is still going great. He said he doesn’t have the "burning desire" yet and isn’t quite sure about baptism and I asked him if he prayed about both of them and he said no not really. I’m so glad that as a representative of Jesus Christ, I can promise him that he will. Not only can I say that to anyone but you and mom and dad and Chris can promise the same blessings too. It’s such a cool blessing we have as members of Christ’s church.

Well that’s about all I can think of right now.... If you have any questions you can reach me at my number I mean here. Ya write me here or of course letters :)

I love y'all so much. Chris Cindy and Olivia I love you!

Love the coolest brother in the whole world,

Elder william macoubrie :)

PS I held up a bee hive board that had 1000+ bees on it. I’ll send a picture when I get it :)
