4th Letter: Father's Day, Crazy in Cleveland, and Krazy for Kirtland




 
 HAPPY FATHER'S DAY PADRE, my 2 Gramps and All the Great Dads out there!
 
Someone says dad, I say stud!
They say, "Your dad?" I say SUPER STUD!
When I think of you,
I think Superman!
 
I think of how you love us and protect us.
You've done it every day since we were born.
I think of my Heavenly Father. I think of Him, and I think of you. I think of how you want to give ALL that you have to each and every one of us and you have given us the opportunity to have it. You are my hero, my example, my role model, and my father. 
 
I love you dad.
I love you with all of my heart and I will do everything I can do to be just like you.

 
 
This photo was taken by a wonderful woman in our Cleveland Ward to send to Elder Houser's dad  and you DAD for Father's Day!  :) She's great.   
 
CCCCRRRAAAAZZZYYYY WEEEEK!!! Many amazing experiences and stories are told everyday in meeting the people here. One wants to  "share her story with everyone" and her story.... is a great story, I guarantee it's a sad, rough, hard story, but this story should stay private... Trust Me! :)

On a different note. things are going well! we caught up with a man named Chris who Elder Houser & I found while tracting... love it... When we were tracting we saw him in the garage while playing his guitar... he and I connected easily. I do not play well by any means but we both love music!! We 3 started talking and obviously he asked what we are doing out here. We talked about the church, our mission and brought in the Book of Mormon and he seemed interested so we gave him a copy after giving a brief background. When we saw him on Saturday he had HIGHLIGHTED and ANNOTATED everything that stood out to him all the way up to when Nephi had just finished building the ship. HE HAD THE BOOK FOR ONLY 3 DAYS!!! It was so cool!! We talked about it for a bit because he had to run off somewhere but he asked, "Do you have a service?"  Why Yes, we do Chris and you are welcome to come as you are! It was so cool!!! He didn't come this Sunday though, but we did have Paula and Rod there. Rod is a sponsored paintballer/mechanic and Paula is 20's with a child going through a divorce... They both know that the church is true and have dates to be baptized!
 
WE WENT TO KIRTLAND ON WEDNESDAY WITH PAULA!!! I love that place so much for one thing and one thing only, the "School of the Prophets." the sisters on the tour were awesome and hit the perfect points for Paula. The member that drove us all there, Sis Corgin, bore her testimony and cried. Then Paula cried and thanked us for being there for her at this time. Then I cried... then I bore my testimony with Elder Houser, and we all cried... it was amazing!! We have been called to serve in the place, where Christ our Savior has shown his face. We were in that room where the prophet Joseph once stood. We were in the place where our Savior stood. We too bore testimony, and felt his love in the very same room where concourses of angels have been seen. I love my mission. I love my Savior Jesus Christ. and I love my god!

Hey, Thank you SO MUCH for my package! I needed the white pants and tie, the mouth wash and lint roller and that stuff too, i was a little confused but very grateful for it! :) love the pictures too! Thank Sister Hansen for me!
fight the fight, stay the course, and keep the faith.
