Howdy Partners

Welp it's me again and I don't have a whole lot of very exciting news I'm afraid last week was pretty much the worst week of my mission......all of our appointments...yea check em ALL of em canceled on us so it made for a pretty crappy week...I'm just glad P-day's here and a new week as well! The temperature has been goin down here lately so instead of high 70's we now have low 70's....which makes the morning pretty chilly....like 65 or something like that ha I may just never go home....I've checked the weather back home on the phone and it's either scortchin hot or there's a storm....i'll pass....na I've actually been getting sick of it being so freakin sunny everyday! Weird I know but I kind of want a change of scenery or something.....sunshine go away today...I don't feel much like dancin. I guess I better soak it in as much as I can because then it's back to reality and real weather.
Today I think is gonna be just like any other P-day not a whole lot going on but we do have 3 appointments this night which I'm pretty stoked about, we've added new investigators which are looking to be more promising than the others that we've been working with so things are goin good it was just a debbie downer week last but nice part about what goes down is it goes back up so this week is already lookin pretty good! So pray for me..l need all the help I can get right now. hope you all take care and be safe...I'll talk to ya next week!!!
Love you all,

Pictures...Finally




Another short email, but it's better than nothing!
Thanks for your love and support!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

hey everyone!
how's it goin! Things are good here! Things are startin to smooth out with the bishop and everything...we had a coordination meeting this past sunday and it seems like the dudes taking a change of heart...I don't know what happened?? I don't know if word got to his mom and she wasn't too happy or what but things are goin really well! We are soooooo busy it seems! I'm the busiest I've been my whole mission....we have appointments from like 3 on to the rest of the night every night so I'm probably gonna sound scatter brained and everything but uhh....get used to it for another 10 months then we'll have all the time in the world to chat after I can take a breath but yea the work is amazing and it seems like the Spirit of the Lord is working overtime with us as well and miracles are just popping up....just a few minutes ago I just got done talking to a man in a wheelchair who wants to know more and come to church....the Lord is placing them everywhere in our paths, like this is an everyday occurance so yea is all good!!! And I'm loving it!!! but I better get steppin we've actually got an appointment with a less-active family here pretty soon but I'll talk with you all next week!! Take care and love you alll!!!!!!
Much love,

Hey everyone.....
Man it's seems like it's been awhile since I've got an email out....it's
been a little...hectic I guess you could say lately....lot on my plate...
not just talking bout food either....
Things are goin pretty good down here....it's been a weird starting few
weeks of the transfer...we've had some problems with the bishop and other
things like that but I think now that President Donaldson's involved things
are starting to smooth out...we've got a lot of people though that are solid
it's just all of em have little things that seem like mountains to them to
get over...it ain't easy (bein cheesy).... but all-in-all everything's good
I don't have anything really big or crazy to tell...it's all pretty chill
around here...everyone for the most part is generally nice maybe not
accepting but I'll definitely take nice over a lot of things.
I don't really know what all is gonna go down today I think we might go down
by the boarder and look at some shops or something nothing too
exciting....man as time goes on and on I realize how lame my life is haha
well not lame in a spiritual sense but when you can't go to the beach or do
anything really that San Diego has to offer it makes things kind of
difficult to come up with some stories or something but it's all good...I
love you all know that but I better head off got.....lots to do today haha
Love you all I'll talk to ya later!
Much luv,
Elder Ryan Lawter
