Hello my people.
First of all this guy next to me emailing just started saying something in another language, and pretty loud....i wanted to say hush to him cuz we are in a library of learning! PLUS! We are in america.... Please speak it, gracias. Anyways..... This week was alright. Im sick of this gloomy crappy weather. I have had about enough of it all. Well first and foremost. The bigest thing that happened this week. I learned how to do a Rubiks cube....Thank you.. Thank you. Yes i got skillz. I had to speak in sacrament again....One of the speakers was sick so someoen told Wood they wanted him to introduce himself and share a testimony. Then when they got up to announce it they told me to do the same thing....So i got about a 2 second warning so that was cool, So i got up there and made a joke and bore my testimony, and talked about missionary work and encouraged the 18 and 19 yr olds in the ward to go. They are all so cool. If i lived here i would be good friends with a few of them. We just stopped by a lot of Less-actives and taught them. We do a lot of that here in Michigan. we have like 300 members in this area. But only like 100 are active. So we have quite a lot of work to do. Dang em all. We had interviews this week...And zone conference this coming week. Elder Wood is alright. Im kinda sick of him. He is such a robot. Its hard to even have a conversation with him sometimes. Hes alright though. We get along at night hah, he likes me and wants to serve another transfer with me....hah what am i going to do. Hah i say that to him a lot. What am i going to do with you? Ugh. Oh weel. Dont worry about me things are fine. We are seeing javonna and joe tonight so that should be good. We will be teaching them the restoration unless something comes up, my favorite lesson to teach. Well this computer is about to kick me off. so i better get off. I might be going to scotts to finish emailing ya'll im sick of emailing thats for sure. I might just start calling you every now and then. is that ok with you? hah Anyways peace out my family. Love you guys.,
Hey dad. So ya the weather here is pretty crappy its mostly off and on snow. The forecasters are worse at predicting the weather than utah tho thats for sure. I think we are supposed to be getting like 8 inches today or something. Its not even snowing. We got a little bit last night but nothing too serious. And about Grizz/ I dont know if you have seen those invisible fence things. You can set up a perimeter around the house and if grizz goes past that he will get shocked until he comes in. Knowing him he may never come in. But you may want to look into one of those. There is also one that shocks the dog if he goes a certain distance away from the device. That way you can have it set up in the backyard or something and he could still go to the barn and around a ways but he wouldnt be able to go on vacation like he has been doing. Food for thought. hah. I do hope he is alright though. I hate to say wait for me to go to the Henry mountains.....but i might just have to. hah! That would be a fun trip for sure! So wait for me!!!! My address
2612 Riverview Ave Apt #2
N Muskegon 49445
Ill be sending off an SD card with all of Hart and N muskegon pix on it. So be looking for that by the end of the week sometime. Well thats all i can write this week. Love you dad thanks for everything! Have a good week and dont forget to.... :)

HARRO!
Sorry i didnt email yesterday. We didnt have a car and we had some stuff scheduled so we werent able to get it took care of. But good news! Im here now and i only had to walk like 2 miles to get to the library here! Hah this is rediculous. So last week i got my new companion Elder Wood. He is alright. Hes kinda akward and doesnt like to have fun. So its been a really big change for me. Cuz im all about having fun namean? But at the same time its pretty cool because i get to lead everything because i dont trust im too. Hah. Ill just have to teach him a few very important life lessons. HAh! We actually went to the same school.....Josh Wood. He is a year younger than me, i think he said his mom ran into you at the store or something. He had seminary with Brianne.... But anyways last week we were able to see Javonna and Joe(Shirley Paynes kids) It was aweseome we taught them the Plan of salvation since their mother just passed away and they were both getting really into the lessons and asking good questions, so that was good. They didnt make it to church though like they said they would. Thats the story of my mission life. Joe might be coming to the church tonight to play some basketball with the ward. I havent played it forever! Its going to be funny. And we also saw some other people that im not going to talk about because nothing exciting happened.
We have interviews this week. Which should be interesting....Pres has got something against me and im going to bring it up and ask ha come? I got my package! Thank you so much! That cologne was perfect. Was that the expensive kind? And i ate almost all of the peanut butter bars! They were tasty! Hah They smelled good and tasted good so they must have been fine right? The money is muuuuch appreciated! I have the best family in the whole wide world!
questions questions. We went to Mama Myers house for the superbowl. Woot Saints won just like i said. The baptism didnt go through. We met with him again and we were just going to go over the questions and make sure he knew everything and before we even started. He said :"I dont even know what baptism is, i dont know what its for. I dont even know what alll of this is about!" Dang kid! I strangled him for a minute "Why you little...!!" He has been taught everything a few times. Hah so we are going to meet with him again. He keeps saying he wants to get baptized. Hes just a punk kid though. ha.so that was kind of a bummer. But hey theres the whole transfer to get him under. I am planning on two baptisms this transfer. So i guess i better start working harder. Didnt i guess brazil for Brandon? I seem to recall...And why does Eric need fingerprints taken? Is it for a visa or what? He didnt get caught doing something that im not aware of?
So its snowing like crazy today. Hopefully it keeps up so we can cancel church! woot woot! Hah i said that to Wood and he got all akward, not much of a joker he is. But we are doing some good around here. He wants to work so when we get the car im going to work him to death! Hah so things are good. Im still studying the BoM and stuff. So my testimony is constently growing for being in the service of the Lord. You learn a lot about yourself and your potential while on the mission. I think thats one of the major reasons we are sent out. There is so much to learn and we can grow to be such great people, but we need the help of the Lord in doing so or we will fail. And i know that to be true because i have felt both sides of that. And i am truly growing and the Lord is molding me into some kinda Warrior missionary i think.... Im going to start packing heat and bustin caps out here..ok haha i cant be serious for more than a minute i promise. But i just want you guys to know that i have a testimony of this gospel. the Lord is watching over us and he is blessing us more than we know, he doesnt ask much of us. But he promises things that should make us want to do nothing more than serve him. He is loving, he is merciful, and he is always there for us if we reach out with the faith to feel his loving influence and his guiding hand. I love being in his service and im grateful for the family that has been given me. I love you guys, thanks for your prayers. They are heard and answered and i can feel that. Until next time. Ive been Willy.
So Im supposed to be having you guys look up some names. Al Geisler in this ward might be a relative. He grew up in Smithfield for a while. His mother is a Larsen. you guys need to look for a John Christian Larsen, or a Christian John Larsen. One of those two.
And my other question. I need Grandma Larsens Email. I cant seem to find it. Tell the grandparents harro! for me. And im thinking about them and eventually ill write them a letter.

HAH Mom you are so dang funny. Our whole family is! Its rediculous if you ask me. Thanks for singing to me on my b-day! I had an alright day i guess. We had interviews at our apartment and pres brought me alittle cake that he bought. So that was nice of him. Interviews went really well actually. He told me he wants to get me to the point where i am with some younger missionaries. so thats good. I want to train really bad. so i guess we will see in a few transfers what will happen. There's a good chance that me and Tidrick will be staying together i think. T-calls are on friday, so ill be finding out this week. I didnt get your package yet. But brianne told me there are some peanut butter bars. So thats good! I got Jeron and Beckys package.Which was awesome.Im sorry you guys are losing it. I think its because you say you are losing it so much so it gets in your head and then you actually start losing it because you believe you are....chew on that for a while.hah. I cant believe you guys let Eric inside our house! hah thats waycool. Is he leaving for the mission? Isnt it in february sometime? Thats so cool that Brandon is getting his call! Hah im guessing he is going to Canada. Thats my guess. second guess is Australia. And third is China. Ive heard a lot of stuff about China opening up. I heard that when it does they are going to need like 50,000 missionaries to go there. Thats just about as much as is out right now! Elder Liermantold us that. He has some connections in SLC, but it might just be talk. I dont know.So this week we had Shirley Paynes wedding. Her family did it at apentecostal church. have never seen so many black people in my life.wow...The church was right in the middle of Muskegon Heights, which is a pretty intense ghetto. And wow. There were probably 300 people at the funeral. and only 6 of them were white. Hah! Everyone had these sweet fur coats on and all this bling and stuff. Soo many gangsters everyhwere, and then theres me. The whitest of the white. Hah it was pretty tight i loved it. But Shirleys Son Jakata wanted us to speak at her funeral. So I let Tidrick do it because he knew her better. So he got up there and spoke about her and shared a scripture from the bom and he got a ton of people clapping and stuff. Hah it was really cool.But it drug on for a while. And it was kinda rediculous. There was alot of shouting and "carrying-on" as mom would put it. People would get up and shout amen! and praise jesus and everyone was crying. It was crazy. so we ended up leaving early because it was taking so long.We are going to be meeting with Jakata and Javahna on wednesdays. So there is some really cool potential with them. That would be sweet to baptize both of them and get them into the church. Thats what Shirley wants im sure. I attached a picture of Jakatas son, Tugi. Hes pretty funny.So this next sunday we have a baptism! YAY! Hunter LaNore is the name. He is a way cool kid, so im excited about that. Ill send some pictures. We are going over there a bunch this week to reteach him everything so hes ready and stuff. We also helped a lady move this week. Her name is Joanie. She has two kids and i guess the missionaries taught her once and it went very well and she really enjoyed it. So she asked us if we would help. She is a way nice lady and she really likes us so when we get the car on wednesday we are going to go have a lesson with her. She is one of our top investigators so im excited about that. So things are going pretty well. to answer your question. i dont really do anything in the ward.OH i just remembered something. So saturday night we got a call frombro Lammi to give a talk the next day......so we almost called in sick...haha just kidding, We both prepared 10 minute talks that night when we got home and so in sacrament meeting the lady before us went waaayyy over her time. We sung the intermediate hymn when we should have been ending the meeting. so it was 5 after and i just decided to share a little quote and bear my testimony. so i stood up there for like 3 minutes and then i sat down and Tidrick decided to give his talk. So that was kinda stupid. He made me look dumb, but at the same time he looked dumb. I was kinda mad to be honest. so we ended sacrament 20 minutes late. hah! it was kinda funny. But yeah anyways all i do is go to classes and worry about investigators. We also have to go to PEC every morning and talk about everythign we did in the past week. Who we taught and what we taught and what happened. im about to go inactive because of all the dang meetings. HAH I hate meetings. people talk way too much and say way more than they need to say. And thats the truth. just say the facts and get on with it. I dont need your dang opinions. hah! people are funny/stupid. Thats another truth. booyah! Thats me venting again. I do that sometimes.hah but its all good. So thats basically my week. I dont know what else to say. so peace! And love!Your son
Dear Theresa—
Just wanted to tell you how honored I was to have your son for supper again this past Sunday evening. We’ve missed him since he was transferred to North Muskegon, which is 30 miles away. He and his companion drove to Shelby and spent Sunday night with Elders Brunson and Baros, and they all came here for supper. They are so wonderful to have around, and I so enjoy it when they are in my home! He has such a quiet sense of humor, but when it comes out, he has everyone laughing—and we spend a lot of time laughing. Thank you, again, for sharing him with us. I miss him, myself—and I can only imagine how much of a sacrifice it has been for your family. Just know that there are others who love him and care for him while he is away from you.
Love in Christ,
Ruth Myers
