Mom and Dad-
What's up players?  Well nothing really that new going on here, but just 20 hours of tracting.  We beat the mission in that we are working hard.  We are trying so hard to find people to teach so you could pray for that.  That would be way cool.  Nothing really new, but I did watch a softball tournament this weekend and talked to a lot of people.  We found out that it works a lot better than knocking doors.  At the park, we talked to 5 less actives and 160 people and we got more people than we did all week long.  How are things going back home and anything new going on that I should know about?  I hope that you had a good birthday and that you got what you wanted.  I have to go, so love you a lot and I miss you guys.  Have a good week.

Love,
Elder Rice

Well, today is P-day. I can’t believe it is already P-day. It is going so well; I love being out here. Today we went and played some basketball and my team won 9 straight games before losing. After basketball, we went home and did laundry and our letters home. Then we went out with Elder Jorgenson and went around town. That was a lot of fun, but we had to go email home and I always love talking to my parents about things that are going on. Then we had a dinner that was so good. I don’t know why, maybe because it was easy ant that’s the best kind of dinner. Dinner was with sister Lecy and she is less active. Her son just came back off his mission like 2 0r 3 weeks ago, I can’t remember. Then we just went home and planned for the next day and now that P-Day is over, time to go to WORK!

Well, today was a fun day. We started out the day by going to DDM and that was good. The training went really well. It was way good, but then after that we watched a movie for one of our lessons today. It was about the temple and important they are. I have never seen this movie. Then we went home for lunch and then went out tracting and then I had a return appointment with a lady that had questions, but she was not interested at all. Then we went over to Dave H.’s house to read with him and he has been way sick a lot of the times we try to come over. Then we went to the Sebolds and taught them which it is talking to a brick wall. Nothing really happens. They are less actives and don’t care about church. Then we took dinner and that was our day, nothing really happened, but it was a good day.

Well today was a good day. I really liked it. We started out going tracting and that was such a long street, but we talked to a lot of people. Then we went back home for lunch and ate really quick and then went and saw some less actives. Then we went to dinner and had a good dinner. After that, we went and read with Shawnie and that went really well. It was a lot of fun. Then we went home for the night and then went to bed.

Well today was not a good day at all. We did nothing good. No one was out, so in the morning we had weekly planning and that was way fin. It really worked out good. Today we worked really hard on it and got lessons for next week, so that is good. So, we are not tracting all that much, but then we went out to lunch with the other Elders, like we always do. This time we took a longer lunch than what we should have because no one was home or wanted to talk to us, which is never good. Then we went and saw less actives and got to hear about the finals. I guess the Lakers won again, but that was my day.

Today was a good day. We talked to a lot of people. We started out with our studies. I had such a good personal study. I read about David and Goliath. It was so good. I know that I love that story; it is always a good story. Then we went out and tracted for 4 hours and nothing really happened. That was not that fun, but then we went to go take lunch.  Then we went back out and saw less actives and we went and rode the bikes around. It was a lot of fun and then we went and took them back. Then we went and watched some softball games to talk to people. Then we stayed there and talked to 124 people, which is a lot. After that we went home and planned for tomorrow. Now it is bed time.

Well, today was a fun day. I got a lot of work done today and I had a really good study. Today we went over to the Arnolds and did the paper for the meeting, but we didn’t need it anyways. Then we went to the park and talked to people. There is a softball tournament going on, so we talked to like a whole bunch of people. After that we went home for lunch. Then we went back to the Arnolds to get our bikes, but then we got to talking. When we got done, we had to go meet out team up and we went and saw some less-actives. That went really well and then we went and invited some of our investigators out to church. I hope they come, but then we went home. I was pooped. I went to bed right after planning, but tomorrow is the best day of the week—Sunday.

Well, today is Sunday and Fathers Day. I totally forgot to say Happy Father’s Day, but I will in email tomorrow. Today we went to Church and it was good. We had a talk on Fathers. It was way good. Then we went to a park and talked to people that were watching softball. That was a lot of fun. Then we had dinner. It was a lot of fun and was a long dinner, but a good dinner. Then we went around to some less actives and gave them things for Father’s Day. That was our day and then we came home and go ready for P-Day.
