Well this last week has been really really slow. I think that it has
been the trail of our faith and blessings come after that (Ether
12:6). Like i have said before, we share our branch of 40 with the
assitants. We teach Sunday School and pass and bless the
sacrament, and pretty much run the branch.
But this last saturday was a crazy day. The assistants called us about an hour
before the baptism and told us they just barely started the font, and
told us to get over to the church and figure something out. So we got
over ther about a half hour before it started and we filled up the
font with buckets. Elder Freestone and i were some working beasts.
i also had to give the talk on baptism in front of President Woodbury, and we had to be the witnesses. We are working hard and trying to be guided by the spirit to someone that is ready. The church is true!
Love,
Elder Dye

Whats Happenin??
This is your boy Elder Dye writin from the Ghetto of luhavull! This
week has been great! We have had nonstop appointments this past week!
we have hardly had anytime to pros. We have a date set for Nov. 12th
and we have a few other investigators right on his tail! We have got 6
member present lessons this week and the standard of excellence(can't
spell) is 5! so we have been doing pretty good. My companion had me
take control of the lessons this week so i played the role of senior
companion this last week... And i think i did a decent job. We still
have investigators so i think i haven't killed it. I will tell you
what I have been getting to know my bible! We get bashed on probably
about 2-4 times a day. It's fun! We don't bash until about the third
attempt or second if we are in a bad mood. And THE CHURCH IS TRUE! Our
doctrine is so sound that they can send 19 year old boys to go
proclaim it! I have learned so much. We have been working pretty close
with President Woodbury and he has been stoked about the things we
have done. This areas last baptism was a year ago, and the numbers
have never been so high. he told me and Elder Freestone that we are
two missionaries with some of the highest potential. So i am hoping to
live up to that potentail! I really appreciate all of the things
everyone has done to prep me for my mission and also the rest of my
life. No crazy experiences this week, but i will make sure to have
some next week ;) I love you all!

The Field is White! October 17th, 2011
Hey there!
I am so tired now its not even funny. All me and Elder Freestone do is
work, eat, and sleep. We now have 5 sweet investigators that are
pretty close to following the example of Jesus Christ and be baptized
by someone with the priesthood (Like Me!) and we have a list of about
25 potential Investigators. Hard work and diligence pay off! Thats
about all i have to say this week but here are some pictures! I love
you all and the church is true!
Love,
Elder Dye

This last week has been Crazy!!!
Not much has happened on the working side we have approached over 120
people this week with a short and powerful message on the Restored
Gospel of Jesus Christ, and we are just waiting for those elect to
come out of our hard work! But i have had the most crazy things happen
to me this past week it ranges from opussum attack to Kidnapper to
Suicide to Helping train a new missionary. I will go over each story one at a
time:
OPUSSUM ATTACK
I can't help but laugh, but it scared me to death, I walked outside to
take out the trash at 10 or so and our back fence is really close to
the building so close that you brush it every time you walk by. So i
walked by with the trash and all the sudden i started hearing this
hissing and growling noise so i turn around and there is a opussum on
the fence at shoulder level less then 2 feet away. So i freak out i
started screaming and swinging the trash bag at it and it just keeps
hissing or whatever they do. (Those things are nasty and got some
nasty lookin teeth) So to get it away from me i started barking at it
and it finally left. So now we sharpened the end of an umbrella that
we found and it is our opussum stick for every time we take out the
trash.
KIDNAPPER:
So we ride the bus and we kinda stand out. But on thursday night my companion and i
were headed to conduct a baptisimal interview at 8:30, and we never
ride the bus this late but this time we had to. So we get on and there
is this old guy on there with this stroller the stroller is nice and
high class and this guy is dressed like trash and he has a creepy
shirt on that said,"100% the Kids" I pull the phone out and type a
text on the phone to my companion and it said something like "that
is not that guys kid i am a little freaked out about it" and he types
back, "I was thinking the exactly same thing" and so we keep watching
and he keeps trying to cover this 2 year old boy with a blanket so no
one could see him. I was getting promptings from the spirit that i
needed to do something but i didn't know what and we got off of the
bus without doing anything, and i got sick to my stomach and i said we
need to do something so we called the cops and told them the bus
number and they tracked him down.
SUICIDE:
Yesterday we talked like our third guy out of suicide, i didn't think
that would be something that would happen that often.
TRAINING:
my compainion had a training to go to that lasted all day and so i got
a week old greenie shipped to me and we rocked UofL campus that day.
The church is true!

October 2nd
Howdy y'all!
I got my new companion and he is a boss! We work our guts out. In 3
days we contacted 75 people and taught them a short lesson on the
restoration. Our numbers are off the charts and we didn't even have a
full week of work with transfer meeting on tuesday and him unpacking
and then General Conference. We had an Investigator come to conference
with us and he really loved it. I am so excited for him! I thought
that i could come out here and never get tired because of the slave
driver father that i had but i am more sore then i have ever been in
my life. So suggestion for justin & dad work justin harder! hahaha My
companions name is Elder F, he is from Utah and is 6'
4" so i look pretty small next to him. He has been out a little under
a year and has been teaching me a ton. I could go the rest of my
mission with him as my companion! It was his birthday the other day
and so we baked your cookies you sent me. Thanks for that package, it
was a good one. Thats about all i gots for ya this
week I love you all! The church is true!
