Bode is a handsome young lad. He takes after his uncle. And no i'm not talking about derek. haha.</div><div>Park city looks way pretty right now. Here the leaves haven't even started to change at all yet. Colorado is just ugly during the fall. It is just</div><div>super flat and brown. Nothing special, it actually kind of depressing. The one thing that i do like about here more than i like about utah is in</div><div>the winter here it will snow one day and then the next day it will be like 70 degrees and the snow will be melted. But in Utah when it snows,</div><div>it is there for like the rest of the winter until april. Haha i can't believe that you are already asking me where i want to go when i get home for</div><div>a vacation. that is still 9 months away. But i have been thinking about it haha, my companion is going home in three weeks so give me a break</div><div>if i think about a vacation every once in a while. But yeah I think that hawaii or some kind of cruise would be way fun. Something that involves</div><div>swimming, would be cool. Its been a while since i have swimmed...</div><div> </div><div> So Conference was dope! way good! We watched the saturday sessions at the Hawkins home and then we watched the Sunday session</div><div>at the Berezays home. But there were some dang good talks. The one from the 70, i think his name was Callister or something, but he</div><div>gave a way good talk about how the book of mormon compliments the bible. It was like a perfect talk for missionaries, i can't wait to get a hold</div><div>of that ensign with that talk. But my favorite talk was in Priesthood Session. Elder Holland got up and laid the smack down. It was probably the</div><div>most bold sauce i have ever seen a general authority talk. He talked about missionary work, and he said himself that "We are speaking to you</div><div>boldy because you do not listen to us when we speak politely" haha it was amazing. That one will be a classic talk for sure. But overall</div><div>conference was good and now i'm sad that i have to wait another 6 months to hear it. </div><div> </div><div> So this week we had a pretty good week. My comp is still kinda bugging me because of how trunky he is. So we had this lesson, with a</div><div>girl in the singles ward who is less active..like super less active. She doesn't even know who Jesus Christ is, or who we pray too..yeah that less</div><div>active. But Before we started teaching they were talking and they found out that they actually know a couple of the same people from back east so it was kinda cool ya know, to know similar people so i was alright with that but then I was teaching. i saw I because he didn't say a word really. But the spirit was super strong she understood what she needed to do to find out who jesus Christ is, and then he opens his mouth and says...so do you know "this person", oh and do you know "this person". So yeah he totally got her off topic, which bugged me and the member that we brought. But then we brought it back, and then he did it again, and started talking about how we almost got kicked out of byu idaho and he said his conversion story out of nowhere which was weird. SO i dunno,</div><div>it is kind of bugging me, all the missionaries that are zone leaders feel for me, and are super sorry for me, but whatever, it is just 3 more weeks.</div><div> </div><div> We have interviews with President Toombs this week, i am probably going to ask him if he is thinking about moving me or not. Cause 6 months in any</div><div>area is way long, and i just don't know if i'll be able to do one more transfer in this area. I will be able to do it but, i dont want to haha. I know it sounds selfish but i guess i will just have to deal with whatever happens. </div><div> </div><div> On a brighter note, i am super stoked for this Friday. remember cameron Burris, he was the guy that i taught in arvada a year ago, and was baptized. I called him on the phone the other day and he said the he was getting sealed in the temple this friday. So he invited me to come with him, and i've been saving a temple trip just to go to see this. SO i'm way excited to see this family get sealed. He is by far the most legit guy that i have baptized and has stayed the strongest since he has been baptized. IM PUMPED!</div><div> </div><div>Hey so what ever happened to my package. Did you send it or no. because i ahven't gotten anything. Please let me know, so i don't call the office and ask for a package that isn't there. </div><div> </div><div>Anyways, thats about all i got for the week, It has been super hot here lately, i dont know what your talking about. I'm dying of heat. I'm kind of excited for the fall but yeah not to excited for winter eaither. Anyways, i gotta run, so i love ya and hope you have a good week!

Hopefully on the Drive up, tyler and them don't get in a wreck, I was actually telling</div><div>someone that story about me and derek crashing, the other day. weird. Tell them to wear seatbelts and obey all safety precausions.</div><div> Oh yeah by the way I started to say Ya'll, so if i come home and i sound like i served my mission in the south, its because of a</div><div>missionary that lives in the south but he kept saying and i kind of caught on...wee i am ashamed. </div><div> </div><div> Young womens president getting the best of you know? already.. dang, who is even in the young womens right now?</div><div>I don't remember. Thats cool that you spoke in sacrament. I bet it was good, i bet there were also many tears that were</div><div>flowing. haha.. just kidding. But seriously... I have been talking to this family in my ward about my problems of not ever</div><div>being able to cry. haha and They have a daughter named allie, she is like 15. And she never can cry either, so I am glad</div><div>that i'm not the only heartless person. and get this, she EXTREMELY hates feet. haha.. I knew there were people that were</div><div>like me somewhere. haha. ANyways, that was pretty random sorry.</div><div> </div><div> This week we had a lot better week. We were able to get a hold of a lot of people that we were never able to get ahold of</div><div>before. We finally set up this lesson with this less active that we have been trying to work with forever, so hopefully we can get</div><div>her to start coming to church. I had a pretty cool experience too. We went over to a less active in our singles ward, and his dad</div><div>was there too and he is less active in his ward. So we were just talking to them for a while, and we gave the lesson, and i just</div><div>thought about this scripture in doctrine and covenants section 10 verse 5 to read about prayer and coming off the conqueror,</div><div>and they both said, that was exactly what they needed to hear. So that was kinda cool, and then i continued talking, and</div><div>it popped into my head to invite them to pray together. And the dad was like, yeah you know i have been thinking about</div><div>that a lot lately, how we should do that. So it was kinda cool, that a couple times within one lesson, i told them things that</div><div>they needed to hear by the spirit. IT was a cool spiritual experience.</div><div> </div><div> Gracelan? seriously.. haha i don't want to make fun of that name too much, if that is what they are actually going to name it</div><div>but that sounds like something off of chronicles of narnia or lord of the rings..but i guess tyler named his kids hunter and bode</div><div>so where are we to talk..haha just kidding. How are those kids doing anyways, We had dinner with a family in our ward and</div><div>they have a 4 year old son, and he is absolutely huge, he weighs probably 80 pounds, and it is just weird to think that he is</div><div>only like a year or so older than hunter. I might need to get some pictures of them too, cause i haven't seen them in a little bit.</div><div> </div><div> Anyways, so to talk about what i would like in my package....hmmm... definately some good jerky. definately the cd of nashville</div><div>triuble to the missionaries and maybe also jenny oaks baker ( elder oaks daughter) she has a cd that is all disney music on the</div><div>violin, that would be pretty cool. maybe some gatorade powder. other random snacks.. just whatever you can think of.</div><div>but yeah since i haven't had a package in a while this one might have to be super big, to make up for the other ones. right?</div><div> </div><div> Welp, i gotta run, i hope that you guys are excited for general conference this weekend.. I am stoked.. i can't wait to hear from</div><div>the prophet and apostles.. hope that you guys have a good week, enjoy park city! love ya</div><div><br />LOVE ELDER GNEHM!</div></span>Suzanne Gnehmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05560173279008407112noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-288688157878792958.post-61692244062576861442011-09-19T22:45:00.000-06:002011-10-08T22:46:46.471-06:00NOT SURE ABOUT NEW COMPANION<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); "><div>SuuuuPUH!?</div><div> </div><div> Hey der, yeah this last week did go by pretty fast i'm not gonna lie. Yeah there were some</div><div>interesting things that happened last week.. Lets just say that i'm pretty glad that its only 5</div><div>more weeks with my companion... So yeah, remember the house that i have told you about,</div><div>yeah i complained about it and stuff, but i have tolerated it for the last 3 months, and there</div><div>havent been really any huge problems. But my companion, has lived there for a week and he</div><div>says that he cant handle it anymore. So he has complained to the stake president, the bishop</div><div>and the ward mission leader. yeah he's a baby. He says its too unsanitary and that its not</div><div>good for us to live there... Oh yeah and to be quite honest the zone completely cant stand him,</div><div>because... In district meeting he got up and completely yelled and chastised the entire district,</div><div>(even with sisters there) because they were making phone calls to people outside of their</div><div>district without calling us for permission..now that is a mission rule, but that is probably one</div><div>of the smallest mission rule that people tend to break, and so yeah they should have been</div><div>told not to do it anymore, but he completely yelled at them, and told them that they were like</div><div>the pharisees, and that they teach to be obedient and aren't...yeah thats my comp. He is kind</div><div>of a tool..but yeah i'm just trying to get through these next 5 weeks. I'll be fine though.</div><div> </div><div> Anyways, on that cheery note... Did dad and tyler go back out hunting? I want them to shoot</div><div>something! I need jerky or something. Yeah i'd be interested in seeing the rental house that</div><div>you guys are fixing up, are you fixing it for me to live there after the mission? Is that where you</div><div>want me to live so i don't move out here to denver? There are so many missionaries that come</div><div>back after the mission and marry girls in their wards, holy cow. Its like seriously, were you even</div><div>doing missionary work or were you just flirting with the laurels?</div><div> </div><div> That is so crazy..Chloe Miller is getting married, i remember her looking like a 15 year old</div><div>does she still look like that? Thats pretty nuts, i'm not ready for that.. maybe in 10 more months</div><div>though i dunno. haha. just kiddin. But yeah i am kinda on the opposite side of the mission from</div><div>Elder aamodt right now but i know that he is doing alright. He still isn't a dl or zl or anything,</div><div>he is with a samoan missionary that beats everyone up. And president Ely when he was here</div><div>asked him who he wanted to be with so that he didn't beat any more of his comps up, he said</div><div>Elder aamodt. I guess they get along pretty well, so thats good. But yeah he is doing alright.</div><div> </div><div> Well anyways, yeah not too much is different here, we got a referral of some investigator that</div><div>lives in longmont, she said that she would be interested in meeting with us but she wasn't there</div><div>at the time we set up an appointment. But we will keep trying, so hopefully we can get someone</div><div>new to teach. But yeah, i'm kinda just ready to leave this area, but i still got a while so i'm gonna</div><div>have to get over it. Welp, gotta run, love you hope the fam is doing good, take care yall.</div><div>LOVE ELDER GNEHM</div><div> </div></span>Suzanne Gnehmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05560173279008407112noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-288688157878792958.post-86249793283726719492011-09-12T22:43:00.000-06:002011-10-08T22:45:35.776-06:00NEW COMPANION<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGcmfQ1wNlp0KUspyET0Jd33HYZroLE8rXXqTHPnGh2DQoakP5GpsCqcBBuxh5ln27RODflE_C3PFjpo9bW28unkNGwZJXy6RnQ1o2ta6TKJ3W1VTQ0XwAl3h9blnfjql8VZEnEWFlU9A/s1600/DSC02114.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGcmfQ1wNlp0KUspyET0Jd33HYZroLE8rXXqTHPnGh2DQoakP5GpsCqcBBuxh5ln27RODflE_C3PFjpo9bW28unkNGwZJXy6RnQ1o2ta6TKJ3W1VTQ0XwAl3h9blnfjql8VZEnEWFlU9A/s320/DSC02114.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5661348605481285202" /></a>Suzanne Gnehmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05560173279008407112noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-288688157878792958.post-78754226352851509472011-09-12T22:36:00.000-06:002011-10-08T22:41:18.564-06:00AWESOME PICTURES<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhr8Kmn8eRuDFhW9PoGCBpG09NcS2g_u4VvD4g403Gfr_8-vEq8SojnX8FNSl_8kpgIxGWmMvtIpBE35AOOfMa4Ym4grD00Vn7UQDNxh_6mf_yWoj5EZQkUfiqPVfCdlUT28fBHGL2We1k/s1600/DSC02080.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhr8Kmn8eRuDFhW9PoGCBpG09NcS2g_u4VvD4g403Gfr_8-vEq8SojnX8FNSl_8kpgIxGWmMvtIpBE35AOOfMa4Ym4grD00Vn7UQDNxh_6mf_yWoj5EZQkUfiqPVfCdlUT28fBHGL2We1k/s320/DSC02080.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5661347552480602466" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdPHwg2HvMscLn8jw-hS2F1HJQs1TVZtREzxkVf2xeHWHt7pRl3Lwwxaz_2_2mnk5Dn7y_ZSnY83kiM6gUg-aDmTfZ49F7Azc7uwFNa0aQaECRKtMq-NOPrkgdZ-I7MSXXy7-gng5ji1U/s1600/DSC02111.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdPHwg2HvMscLn8jw-hS2F1HJQs1TVZtREzxkVf2xeHWHt7pRl3Lwwxaz_2_2mnk5Dn7y_ZSnY83kiM6gUg-aDmTfZ49F7Azc7uwFNa0aQaECRKtMq-NOPrkgdZ-I7MSXXy7-gng5ji1U/s320/DSC02111.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5661347542384123858" /></a>Suzanne Gnehmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05560173279008407112noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-288688157878792958.post-73172254891059190622011-09-12T22:33:00.000-06:002011-10-08T22:36:48.475-06:00SENIOR ZONE LEADER<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); "><div>Hola Como esta</div><div> </div><div>Welcome back to Utah, your pictures that you sent are pretty sweet. I can't believe you saw a couple of bears. Some guy here in the ward</div><div>tells me that he goes bear hunting, and tells me some pretty crazy stories. For example, if you shoot a bear right in the heart, its adrenaline</div><div>is going so much, that it wont even know that it is dead for a couple of minutes and it will come and find you and rip you to shreds, so yeah</div><div>bear hunting is probably the manliest sport i've ever heard of and i probably want to try it at least once. The pictures of you guys riding</div><div>horses is pretty funny, you definately dont have the proper outfit for it, where is your boots, your cowboy hat and your gun?</div><div>haven't you seen the movies?</div><div> </div><div> I gotta admit, i'm pretty bummed that tyler and dad haven't gotten an elk yet. I could definately go for some of that jerky.</div><div>We got into a door of a less active on monday and the whole time we were just talking about hunting, and then he gave me and my</div><div>companion elk steak, and elk burgers. There is a ton of it too. SO I just need to complete it off with some elk jerky, and i would</div><div>be set. Tell them not to give up and have faith. Read them the story of nephi breaking his bow if you have too.</div><div> </div></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); "><div>So yeah me and my companion are doing pretty good. We still don't have any new investigators that we are teaching, but we were planning</div><div>the other day and we started to come up with some ideas that we could use in the singles ward to get new people to start coming to activities and</div><div>things. We are going to set up a basketball tournament and get out flyers and have people in the ward invite their friends, and we are going</div><div>to try to do it once a week. I've heard that there are a lot of convert baptisms just from people coming to play basketball with members of</div><div>the wards, so hopefully we can see the same success here in the singles ward. Its getting a little bit annoying that we haven't really</div><div>taught a single investigator in over 2 months. I really hope that we can get some more! </div><div> </div><div> My companions name is Elder Yarmo, yes he goes home in 6 weeks now. He's not too trunky. He is from New hampshire, right on the border</div><div>of that and Massachussets. about 45 minutes from boston. I'm senior ZL now, and thank goodness i'm not a district leader anymore!! haha</div><div>5 transfers of that was too much. I'm glad that i don't have to do all those trainings anymore, but another dl asked me if i would give a training</div><div>last week so i had to do it anyways. Also we both spoke in church yesterday. My talk was on how members can use PMG to get ready to</div><div>answer questions when people that aren't members of the church ask them questions they can know what to say. It went pretty good i thought,</div><div>especially since i only prepared for 30 minutes cause we had no time, and i gave a talk for about 20 minutes. </div><div> </div><div> Not much else has been going on, kinda the same old thing. so that is about all i got for this week, hopefully all goes well this next week,</div><div>tell tyler or someone to keep me updated on how byu football is doing, i heard they one their first game but i don't know if they won yesterday.</div><div>Yea that would be sweet if i got a package..just saying.. ok gotta run, love ya have a good one.</div><div>LOVE ELDER GNEHM!</div><div> </div></span>Suzanne Gnehmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05560173279008407112noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-288688157878792958.post-68678912589345872312011-09-06T22:31:00.000-06:002011-10-08T22:33:49.200-06:00BERTHOUD FOR AT LEAST 7 MORE WEEKS<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); "><div>LA Familia.</div><div> </div><div>Hey! That is so cool that you are in Montana right now doing some sweet action hiking and stuff. Yeah i definately wants some cool</div><div>pictures next week! Haha horses, i have basically become a little farmer here in this area. Last week i was shoveling up their poopski</div><div>and feeding them hay, mowing their grass and stuff. I could never have grown up on a farm.. I hope that Montana is cool though.</div><div> </div><div>Sooo, let me just fill you in, give you the low down on what happened for transfers. So I am destined to be in berthoud for at least</div><div>13 more weeks. Yes that is until December 5th. So here is what happened. Elder Smith is now in Fort Collins on Campus..lucky</div><div>jerk... I am staying here in berthoud for the next transfer (7 weeks) but my new companion, his name is Elder Yarmo. This is his</div><div>last transfer, and then he goes home, so i will be killing him off. So that means that I will be here for the next transfer also because</div><div>they aren't going to sweep us out...7 and a half months in berthoud colorado...please pray for me. haha. Its not sooo bad, the people</div><div>here are alright. There are a bunch of crazies here though, that is for sure, especially the people that we baptized, haha which is</div><div>the ones that we spend the most time with. Yes i'm still a zone leader, i'm actually the senior zone leader right now too, i have been</div><div>junior for the last like 5 months that it seems kind of weird that i'm the one that is in charge of everything. I got so used to being the secondary</div><div>one..haha just kidding. yeah i'm hoping that these next couple of weeks go by fast though..Elder Yarmo is interesting, i'll tell you more about</div><div>it later. But we will se how it goes.</div><div> </div><div>So not too much happened this week. We had a zone leader council down at the mission home which is in westiminster which is really close</div><div>to thornton, so we got permission from the mission president to go there and have dinner with the olsons. It was way cool, i really do miss</div><div>that family a ton, it was good to see them all again. They want me to get transfered back there so bad. And i wouldn't mind it either.</div><div> </div><div>Let me know how the whole young womens president thing goes.. That is going to be awesome. I don't even think i remember any of the</div><div>young women in the ward. WHo are some of them..Libby is probably a laurel now huh..that is weird. what about camille, how old is she now?</div><div>Its weird to think about people back at home, i hardly remember anything about home until i try. Which i dont do often. Keep me focused</div><div>on the work.</div><div> </div><div>Well anyways, I gotta run, hope MOntana is everything you imagined and more. It would be cool to get a package sometime... just saying.</div><div>especially if ty or dad get an elk. well gotta go, love ya have a good week.</div><div>LOVE ELDER GNEHM</div></span>Suzanne Gnehmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05560173279008407112noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-288688157878792958.post-71158885035667220182011-08-29T22:30:00.000-06:002011-10-08T22:31:39.275-06:00TRANSFERS NEXT WEEK<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); "><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-left-width: 1px; border-left-style: solid; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex; "><div>HEY THURR!</div></blockquote><div>haha bummer. I'm sorry, honestly i thought that it was your birthday the week earlier, but i got it</div><div>mixed up with charlie. I knew that yours was on one of the days but i couldnt quite remember. But</div><div>don't hold it against me, i can't remember most anything. Hope you did have a good one. NExt B day</div><div>of yours i will be home.ahhhh. crazy. Haha your story was really funny about the guy that fell off the</div><div>mountain, its sad and everything but i just liked how your last sentence was how it was really funny</div><div>to see. Your terrible haha just kidding. </div><div> Tell dad and Tyler that they better catch an elk or something because i have been craving some</div><div>elk jerky. By the way are you gonnna send me a package, with that stuff that i asked for last</div><div>week, its been forever since i have received a package, my companion gets one like every two weeks.</div><div>I have gotten one in the last 5 months. </div><div> SO transfers is next week, i'm a little bummed about it because its like almost a guarantee that elder</div><div>smith will be leaving and i will be staying here. It will be a bummer to see Elder Smith going, cause he</div><div>is a good guy, and for me to stay in crazy berthoud for 7 weeks, could be a bit of a struggle, but maybe with the transition of a new companion, time will go by pretty fast, hopefully. We have been together for</div><div>like 4 and a half months, i can't even remember what its like to be with another companion or in another area. But we will see.</div><div> This week, we had a really cool meeting on thursday. So starting in october the denver area is going</div><div>to be doing a media blitz for the <a href="http://mormon.org/" target="_blank" avglsprocessed="1" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); ">mormon.org</a> campaign. Its gonna be awesome. What they are doing is</div><div>putting up 14 billboards, running commercials, running advertisments on facebook, youtube and twitter,</div><div>and also putting things on the radio. We got a training from a 70 named Elder Rhodes and another guy</div><div>named steven b allen. And they have tested it in 9 other cities and said that baptisms go way up because people see the billboards and stuff and ask there friends about being mormon, so they come to</div><div>us instead of us going to them. Its gonna be legit. Members will do missionary work! hopefully.</div><div>But i'm excited for a big change that will happen for the last 10 months of my mission. Yep i hit that today. pretty nuts. </div><div> Haha that is hilarious that you were not dressed great for when madeline came over. Its all good. </div><div>Yeah she was pretty nervous, because she thought that it would maybe be weird for a girl to bring</div><div>a missionaries stuff tothe house, but i told her that you would be nice, and she text me and said</div><div>"momma gnehm is soo nice" haha so you did good. Yeah she is going to provo so that would be</div><div>a pretty far way for her to go to dinner, but that was nice of you to offer.</div><div> So i gotta close with a hilarous thing that happened, i dont know if you will find it funny, it might be one of those you have to be there moments. But we meet with the stake pres and his councilor eery week.</div><div>and the coucilor is brother pippen, and he is crazy, and his prayers make me laugh. SO last week he was going off about how great we are in the prayer and saying that we are "mighty warriors and strong servants and we should be yielded properly" so i thought it was kinda funny, so yesterday we met with him again and he prayed again so i was anticipating another funny thing, and he goes off about how great we are again and says that we truly are the "fruit of the tree".. haha the second he said fruit, i lost it, i busted up during his prayer, and i felt so bad because it was irreverant, but it was so funny, it was one of those smiles that would well up inside of me and i would just think about it and start laughing again. </div><div>SO yeah, hes nuts and i thought it was prtty funny, i dont know if you did though.</div><div>anyways, thats it for the week,i'll let you know next week, who my new comp is and everything,</div><div>so i hope you have fun in montana, hopefully everyone is safe when you go, and no passes away.</div><div>Welp, take care love ya.</div><div>LOVE ELDER GNEHM!~</div><div> </div></span>Suzanne Gnehmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05560173279008407112noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-288688157878792958.post-51265140573679648162011-08-23T22:24:00.000-06:002011-10-08T22:24:47.294-06:00HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); "><div>Momma!

We went up there to do</div><div>vehicle inspections because we had zone conference this week. Cheyenne seems like a cool place, i guess? haha it was funny when we were up there, we were sitting at a gas</div><div>station, and there was this couple that got locked out of their car because they left their dog in the car with the keys and the dog was jumping around all excited in the car and pressed</div><div>the lock button, so it locked em out. haha we thought it was funny. cause i could see roxy doing that if she weighed enough to even press a button. But zone</div><div>conference was really good, it was president toombs first conference, and it seemed to go really well. We had to role play a bunch though which was the downside</div><div>it is good sometimes to practice teaching your investigators but when you do if for really long, it just gets a little boring. WE gave a little training on unity in the zone</div><div>and i think that it went really well, because some of the companionships in the zone dont get along all that well.</div><div> </div><div> Before i forget i gotta let you know that the new nashville tribute to the missionaries cd came out. and i was just thinking that you havent sent me a package in a really</div><div>long time, and i could use that cd. Oh and also some beef jerky, and other random goodies. But that is just a suggestion, and i would have you strongly consider it.</div><div>thanks. haha. Also there is a girl named madeline in the singles ward here and she is going to school at byu, and she has to drive right through kaysville to pick up</div><div>some kind of certificate for her cna business. and so i gave her a duffel bag of stuff to take home so she will probably drop it off tomorrow sometime, is that ok? and</div><div>if no one will be home i will just have her put it on the porch or something. </div><div> </div></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); "> There are a bunch of people that are going to school here in the singles ward, so that will be pretty lame. But its all good some will stay though.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); "><div> </div><div>Hopefully we will have a couple of new people to teach in the nextcouple of weeks, because one girl said that her friend will be coming to church this sunday, and we also</div><div>got a referral from the greeley zone leaders of someone that is moving into our area that was being taught. So yeah i'm just praying that things can turn around here.</div><div> </div><div> SO steve emailed me and said that kadyn sanders got in a huge motorcyling accident last week and has been in a coma for a while. So if you could pray for him and maybe</div><div>try to find out a little more information for me that would be awesome. That is super sad tohear.</div><div> </div><div> That is awesome that you are going to be the young womens president. haha yeah that just seems like neither of you are going to be home very often.</div><div>So maybe they will release dad here pretty soon, who knows. but yeah i'm excited for you, is there a lot of young women in the ward right now? i cant even</div><div>remember very many people from the ward honestly haha, you know how my memory is. I think that it is only getting worse since my mission. When i am</div><div>old i will have alzheimers? for sure.</div><div> </div><div> On thursday we are going down to the malley stake center (my old stake center in thornton) because our mission is diong what they call a media blitz.</div><div>It is what they have been doing in new york city, and it is pretty much with <a href="http://mormon.org/" target="_blank" avglsprocessed="1" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); ">mormon.org</a> making profiles, and having lots of billboards, and commercials and</div><div>things on the radio, so i am way excited to hear what all will be going on for it, hopefully it helps get much more referrals. so yeah there is a guy from the MTC</div><div>coming to teach all the leaders of the mission about it and so yeah it will be cool to go there, and be back in thornton for a day.</div><div> </div><div> You never told me anything about buying a rental home. Are you gonna fix it up all nice, for a place for me to live in when i get home. You might want to</div><div>consider it so i dont move away to colorado again after the mission, it might be the bribery that i need to stay in utah. SO just htink about it. haha</div><div> </div><div> Anyways, yeah if you could get me a package with that stuff that would be sweeet. but i gotta run, hope all the family is doing good, i love you all peace love and joy.</div><div> ELDER GNEHM</div><div> </div></span>Suzanne Gnehmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05560173279008407112noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-288688157878792958.post-5452595246713723642011-08-15T21:57:00.000-06:002011-10-08T22:01:43.034-06:00BETTER WEEK<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); "><div>ITS a ME ELder Gnehm</div><div> </div><div>Yeah sorry about last week, it was kinda boring and not the greatest. but yeah i'm over it now, and everythings good. Still this week not too much has happened. We picked up a golden investigator who has been taught all the</div><div>lessons in a previous ward and has been to church over 4 times, and comes to all the activities and has been reading the book of mormon and is already in alma chapter 5. Butttt... he is moving to west virginia tomorrow.</div><div>haha so that is about the story of my life but whatever, its a bummer, but we will find someone that wants to learn about the gospel and is going to stay here. </div><div>We did talk to that guy who went to jail. So we have been taking care of his horse lately, yeah i'm basically a farmer, because he is out of jail now and is in colorado springs.. living on the streets basically.</div><div>classy right? but yeah that is Tyrone, he is absoultely crazy, but he said that he is still going to church down there in colorado springs, so that is good, he really does have a testimony of the gospel, he is</div><div>just out of his mind. Um, yeah other than that we have just been working with some less actives, we had a corn roast actvitiy in the berthoud ward so we just went around this week, inviting people to</div><div>it basically. A lot of people did show up which was good, so we are helping the ward a little bit with reactivation, now if we could just find a baptism that would be legit.</div><div> </div><div> Yeah i was thinking the other day, that tyler lunt had to be home by now. That is sweet, he is an awesome kid, there is a kid that goes to our singles ward that reminds me of him. Tell him that i say hi to him.</div><div> And callie knight got married already, haha that is kinda weird, i dont know why. I see tons of people in the singles ward that are younger than me get married but thinking of her getting married is a little funky.</div><div>don't expect me to get married for a while. haha. </div><div>So the Denver temple is closed until the end of october, yeah its a long time. and so Cameron wont be getting sealed until then probably, but yeah i'm going to talk to them and everything, i'm saving up my</div><div>temple trip so i can go down there. </div><div> </div><div> last week elder horner (my second companion) and elder jones, another return missionary of this mission, came out and took us out to lunch, it was cool to see them, haha they came to the singles ward and they</div><div>absolutely hated it though, i'll be honest some of the activities are a little meh..lame. but yeah it is pretty cool to see em back. </div><div> </div><div> SO this week elder blomdal who was one of my companions, who i was way excited to have him come here in my zone...got emergency transfered because of another elders mistake, so now he is down in aurora as</div><div>a zone leader. haha so i was a little upset about that, but now maybe we could be companions again in the future, that would be really cool. Yeah i'm getting a little tired of the berthoud ward and the singles ward.</div><div>not to much to do right now, and especially since everyone is leaving the singles ward it will be a little worse. So, oh well i just gotta suck it up and keep working hard.</div><div> </div><div> Anyways, not to much did happen this week, so i think we are gonna take off and play a little bit of basketball, i hope that you guys are doing well. If you wanna get on my facebook and tell people to write me, that</div><div>would be really awesome of you thanks!!! make sure you give my address 1250 main street broomfield colorado. thanks. haha, anyways i am gonna take off, love ya bye!</div><div>LOVE ELDER GNEHM</div><div><br /></div><div></div></span>Suzanne Gnehmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05560173279008407112noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-288688157878792958.post-66096671391718167142011-08-08T21:54:00.000-06:002011-10-08T21:57:18.041-06:00BAD WEEK<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); "><div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex; border-left-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-left-width: 1px; border-left-style: solid; "><div>HELLO!</div><div> </div></blockquote><div> So this week has been a slow week, and in all honesty, its been kind of a terrible week at times. So we don't</div><div>have like any investigators right now because we baptized all three of the investigators that we had. SO right now</div><div>we are kind of just starting from scratch, the hard thing is we can't do much finding in the singles ward. The worst</div><div>thing about it is everytime we get a new investigator, or someone that sounds promising and wants to hear more about</div><div>the gospel..they are moving away to go to school or something. Seriously, in the last two transfers we have had 5 people</div><div>that wanted to know more and to talk to us, but they all moved away. So that kinda stinks. So right now, we are kinda just</div><div>visitng less actives and stuff in both wards that we haven't met, and hoping that we can get them to come back and then</div><div>get them to do missionary work, so yeah its goin a tad slower than i would like right now! </div><div> That is sad about Mary Preece, yeah I remember her i think, that is the one that you would play tennis with right? or no?</div><div>i dunno. but yeah just keep praying for her, hopefully all goes well there.</div><div> That kinda stinks about the house getting flooded. Yeah there was a house that we helped with that got flooded and</div><div>the carpet was moldy, and we had to pull all of it out and stuff, so it just smelled terrible, and i got tons of it on my pants, but</div><div>whatever. </div><div> Yeah i'm gonna be honest, the worst part about the week, was when i got on here for the email.. so let me go back, so last monday</div><div>i was talking to the missionaries that are serving in the arvada 6th ward, the one that i served in. And they told me that Rene Alvarez,</div><div>remember her? she is the lady that i baptized, yeah she told the missionaries that she doesn't want to talk to them anymore, so yeah</div><div>i was completely bummed about that. OK, so then today when i got on email, i got an email from kenny strong, guy also in the 6th ward,</div><div>and his email was a reply to one of mine, and he said hi elder this is a long time coming, i left the church and i think it would be a good</div><div>idea if you didn't contact me anymore. ..yeah...this is the guy that i spent a buttload of time working with and he came to visit me in</div><div>thornton a couple times and took me out to dinner. stinks right?</div><div> Oh one more story so Tyrone, the guy that we just barely baptized about 2 weeks ago. yeah he went to jail for something he did 7 years ago</div><div>and he was in there for a couple days, now he is out and nobody can find him, or get a hold of him. </div><div>haha so yeah how does my week sound? not the greatest.<br /> oh well, you know me i let things slide pretty easy, i'm disappointed in all this but i'm not gonna let it bother me really bad.</div><div> But anyways, that is pretty crazy that tyler took bode and hunter to trek, a lot of the people that i went who were teenagers, couldn't</div><div>even do the whole thing, they are definately gonna be nba players. </div><div> Not too much, is gonna be happening this next week i dont think, our investigator from columbia, is going back to columbia tomorrow, so that</div><div>is a bummer, i'm pretty sure she will get baptized down there though, so that will be good. </div><div>Anyways, thats about all for the week, so i gotta run, i hope you guys have a good rest of the week, love ya take luck, bye.</div><div><br /></div></div><div></div></span>Suzanne Gnehmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05560173279008407112noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-288688157878792958.post-47289402314599273382011-08-01T21:44:00.000-06:002011-10-08T21:53:54.923-06:00STAYING IN BERTHOUD<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); "><div class="gmail_quote">Hola Madre</div><div class="gmail_quote"><br /></div></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); "><div class="gmail_quote">The Denver temple closed a couple weeks ago and it is closed until october. It is closed for about</div><div class="gmail_quote">3 months, so that is a very long time. I will be getting a temple trip this month but i am hoping that i can save it and go</div><div class="gmail_quote">to the temple sealing when cameron burris gets sealed to his wife. I baptized him in my first area. and since i've been out a</div><div class="gmail_quote">year so it is coming up pretty soon.</div><div class="gmail_quote"> This last week was nothing special. We are starting from ground zero again pretty much because we baptized all </div><div class="gmail_quote">the people that were in the berthoud ward. and we have no investigators there anymore. In the singles ward we still have </div><div class="gmail_quote">Bobby but we haven't even heard from him in the last two weeks, so he is slowly dropping off the map which is not cool.</div><div class="gmail_quote">He had a date for this month, and when i was on exchanges i wasn't here, but elder smith talked to him and he said that</div><div class="gmail_quote">he still wants to get baptized but right now is just too early. SO hopefully we can get in contact with him again, and we will</div><div class="gmail_quote">be able to teach him, because right now we have not much going on.</div><div class="gmail_quote"> Yeah so this week is transfers. Elder Smith and I are both staying here. Know what that means? I will be here in this ward</div><div class="gmail_quote">for at least 12 more weeks. haha thats gonna be a quarter of my mission here in berthoud. haha that kinda stinks, the work is</div><div class="gmail_quote">good here but the people are kinda insane. Especially the guy that we baptized. But oh well, I will just have to keep working</div><div class="gmail_quote">hard, and find new people to teach. I am kind of excited though, Elder Blomdal, remember him? he was my third companion</div><div class="gmail_quote">back in arvada. He is coming here and he is going to be a district leader so i will see him at least one or twice a week, so i</div><div class="gmail_quote">am pretty excited for that. He is a cool kid. good elder. Yeaah i'm still zone leader/ district leader, i am kind of getting</div><div class="gmail_quote">sick of being a district leader honestly, our district didn't change at all, and we have the same trainings that we have to do</div><div class="gmail_quote">every transfer, so i think the district is just getting sick of me giving the trainings. I know i am.<br /> SO yesterday in church, the air conditioner was broken. It was probably 90 degrees, and it gets warmer because the chapel was</div><div class="gmail_quote">packed with people which is a good thing but yeah not when we are there for two sacrament meetings, 3 other meetings, and priesthood.</div><div class="gmail_quote">that makes for a total of 7 and a half hours. I was a sweaty mess at the end of the day. But someone did bring up a good point,</div><div class="gmail_quote">the early saints didn't have air conditioner and they wore more clothing then we did too so they were probably a lot warmer, so it made me not complain as much.</div><div class="gmail_quote"><br /></div></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); "> I'm kinda bummed that the summer is ending though because a ton of the singles in the ward will be leaving to go to school</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); "></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); "> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); "><div class="gmail_quote">there wont be half as many people as there is now, and a ton of cool kids are leaving to so it will be pretty lame. but oh well.</div><div class="gmail_quote"> Hopefully dad had a good birthday, i told him last week happy birthday but then i forgot until 830 last night, i was sitting in an appointment</div><div class="gmail_quote">then i had revelation that it was dads birthday. it was pretty wild.</div><div class="gmail_quote"> anyways, thats about all that i got for this week, keep me updated on the latest and the greatest!

The one on Wednesday was with Alisha Golsan </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; ">she is 15, so the whole young womens sang the sisters in Zion song, for her and then </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; ">they all went and had a movie night. SO that was pretty sweet.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Then the baptism on Saturday happened, haha that was funny. So this guy that got baptized is literally crazy, he wanted to buy some refreshments for the baptism, so we were like, yeah cool man. he goes to the store and buys 5 types of ice creams, 5 different cases of soda, toppings for the ice cream. it all ended up to be 75 dollars worth of stuff. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; ">haha then the baptism was interesting, if you notice in the picture of him, he is wearing a shirt </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; ">type thing under his baptism clothes yeah, he didn't want to take that off, at first he had a black shirt </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; ">under and we told him he had to take it off.

Its good though because he recognizes that it is a big commitment in his life, and so we will just try to help him over the next couple weeks, he should hopefully get baptized next transfer. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; ">So yeah our transfers are in a week, i don't really know what is gonna happen. I think that i will probably stay and get a different companion cause he has been here for 3 transfers, but who knows with the new mission president. he doesn't really even know how long we've been here or where we have already served, so it would be sweet if he sent me back to Thornton as a zone leader.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; ">Brother Olson called me today, he is going to Cheyenne and on the way back he is going to come visit me, so that will be pretty cool. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; ">That is nuts that Bode is already 1 year old, tell him happy birthday for me, if he can even understand it. that will be cool.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; ">So i sent you another picture and its of us and some of the singles ward in a food fight. It was pretty crazy.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>i borrowed some old guys clothes when i got to the house, and it smelled definately like old person. and he wears size 40 pants so that was cool. But the food fight was epic. There was soy sauce, peaches, salsa, hershey sauce, and the worst was pancake mix. That got in my ear and it crusted up and i was picking at it all night and some of the next morning. i wrecked the old guys clothes, but he didn't care, he is rich and he didn't really like those clothes anyways, so that was way fun. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; ">How is the weather in Utah, its ridiculously warm outside. We went and did a mountain bike trail at a place called Devils backbone today,the place is super cool, you should check out some pictures of it. But it was ridiculously hot, the trail was difficult too, it almost wasn't even any fun, because it was 98 degrees when we were doing it..at 1200, right now its 100. I'm sick of the hot, living in the attic isn't the most spectacular thing ever either, its not that hot, but its definately never cool, and you know how i like it to be cool. oh well.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";color:#333333">Anyways, that’s about all that i got for this week, so i hope that you guys had fun on your fishing trip, the pictures were cool, dad is looking super old cause he is 50 now, haha just kidding.

Their 15 year old daughter went on girls camp, and we invited her to be</div><div>baptized, so she is getting baptized this wednesday. (tomorrow) Its awesome, because</div><div>its a lot like what happened in thornton, we activated the less active guy Aaron and then we</div><div>baptized Brandi. and its the same deal here, so i think that working with the less active part</div><div>member families is the best way to go. The young women are going to be singing at Alisha's</div><div>baptism tomorrow, and she is solid, its gonna be awesome.</div><div> The crazy guy that i told you about last week. . We went over there almost every day and taught</div><div>all the lessons super fast, and he has been to church every week since we have seen him.</div><div>He is getting baptized this Saturday. He is pretty solid, he still is absolutely crazy, but he really</div><div>does have a strong testimony of the gopsel, and he definately is ready. There has been a lot of blessings</div><div>lately, with these baptism, that have just come out so fast. The ward is super excited right now too, because</div><div>this ward hasn't had a baptism for over a year. And just in this last month we are going to have 3 baptisms. Muy bien.</div><div> In the singles ward we still have Bobby set with a baptism date, he came to church this sunday and he seems a little</div><div>bit solid. We are going to have to work on this one a little bit but hopefully all goes well with it, so please pray for him,</div><div>his name is bobby billanueva. He comes to a ton of activities though, he went to another baptism and he came to the</div><div>singles wards date night, which is 3 dates in a day. haha he was so weirded out by that though, he's like and...their parents</div><div>know about this right? haha dating is completely different when its outside LDS. but he enjoyed it and so hopefully all will go</div><div>well with him. With Laura, we invited her to be baptized, but the langauge barrier is kinda hard, she didn't really understand</div><div>that getting baptized in the church here will be the same if she gets baptized in columbia. She has a strong testimony but</div><div>she doesn't completely undeerstand and its hard to teach, but we are going over there on friday for dinner, so hopefully we can</div><div>get her brother to teach it to her.</div><div> So yeah that is how the work is going right now. Its crazy good, its awesome right now. It definately keeps me excited,</div><div>and helps me to enjoy missionary work a lot. </div><div> As far as fun things going on. We went golfing yesterday with some old guy who is a non member. He's like 80 years old, but he</div><div>is a boss. He paid for all our stuff. I did suprisingly good for how long its been since i have played. I actually didn't do bad at all.</div><div>we did 18 holes and i ended with a 92. My drives were incredible sometimes, and i had like 4 or 5 putts that tiger himself would</div><div>be impressed with. It was way fun, i miss golfing a lot. It was good to do that.</div><div> Then right after, we went up with a couple people from the singles ward to Estes Park. I sent pictures of it. It was way cool up there.</div><div>we saw a moose and a ton of deer. It was so hard to breathe up their though. We walked up a hill and i was struggling. The whole reason that</div><div>we wanted to go up there was to get a picture with the sign that says how high it is. But the trail to get up to the very top was closed. So we</div><div>only made it to 11750 ft. But it was still cool, the trail ridge road up to there is super pretty, and i got some good pictures. Estes is a cool</div><div>city too, we didn't spend much time there but i want to go back and check out the shopping stuff. </div><div> So yeah it was a really good week, so this week we just have to get those baptisms underway, and make sure that they happen,</div><div>and it will be even better.</div><div> Thankyou for putting my pictures on facebook, if you want to put these new ones that would be awesome thanks. :)</div><div> Well i gotta run, love you have a good week, by the way i haven't gotten a package in a while :) haha</div><div>love ya bye</div><div>ELDER GNEHM</div></span>Suzanne Gnehmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05560173279008407112noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-288688157878792958.post-70593158681806323612011-07-11T21:27:00.002-06:002011-07-11T21:33:56.331-06:00CRAZY INVESTIGATOR<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; "><div>FAMILY</div><div> </div><div>haha that stinks that dad got poison ivy. that sounds miserable. how is dads work and stuff going? i sent him a letter last week</div><div>with pictures of the testosterzone but he never wrote me back, jerk. just kidding but seriously. <br />Lucky, i want to go golfing so bad. But i can tell you a story that happened this week.</div><div> So remember how i told you about the inactive family that has been coming back and they brought the non member to church</div><div>last sunday. yeah so we went over to his house this week, his name is tyrone. haha he is absolutely nutsss.</div><div>We spent 3 hours at his house, yeah we didn't mean to but a lot of crazy stuff happened. so he just got a horse, and he doesn't know</div><div>how to take care of a horse at all. he was like elbowing it trying to get it to go a certain direction. so he was like alright lets take my</div><div>horse for a walk. so we did. he was just talking crazy the entire time. then we got to some mountain side, and he';s like check out</div><div>the fossils in these rocks...there were no fossils, it was like dirt. The whole time he was talking about his dad that lives next to him</div><div>and about how his dad is out to "get him" He said that his dad has threatened him, and he also said that like 5 other people have</div><div>threatened to kill him also. haha yea we don't know if its true or if he's off his rocker. But the reason that i told you this was because</div><div>we were trying to leave and get home, because we were already there forever. Then he's like hey i just got a new taylor made golf club,</div><div>do you like golf? haha yes. so he lives off in the mountains all by himself secluded from the real world obviously. ANd he gets a sack</div><div>of golf balls, and we just start hitting golfballs down into the valley from his back yard. haha. It was awesome, and it made me want to go</div><div>golfing really bad. anyways yeah that was my crazy experience for the week. But we met with the guy again, he came to church again</div><div>and he really wants to be baptized, and so we are just working on the lessons right now and if nothing goes wrong he should be getting</div><div>baptized within the next two weeks.</div><div> We got another new investigator in the singles ward. Her name is laura. she is from columbia, she speaks very little english but she refuses</div><div>to take the discussions from spanish missionaries because she wants to learn her english. She is awesome though, we taught lesson 2 and 3</div><div>about the plan of salvation and the gospel of jesus christ, and she seems pretty solid. Her fellowshipper was telling us that the concern that</div><div>is going to be the biggest problem is coffee. because she is from columbia where the grade a coffee is from. So hopefully she can get over that</div><div>but she moves back to columbia next month so we will have to be swift. haha she is funny though and she has a little 14 year old brother named</div><div>niko, and we went to a ward barbaque in lyons. Both of them were playing frisby and volleyball for the first time and it was hilarious.</div><div>but Lyons, it an awesome place. It is really close to estes park which by the way we are going to next week. but in lyons we were at meadow park</div><div>and the mountains that were surrounding it were awesome. I want to go back there for another p day and try to find some sweet hiking trails. </div><div> WOw that seems weird that callie knight is getting married, didn't the knighton girl get married too? who else is getting married and getting</div><div>there mission calls? is brayden christensen planning on going on a mission. pierce wrote me about 2 months ago and said that he was at church</div><div>with an emo girl and they were all over each other the whole time. sounds pretty filthy. how is gavin and kyle and taylor doing, are they still</div><div>trying to be cool, and not going to church?</div></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; "><div> haha to answer your question if it would be weird if things worked out with them. yes. but it would also be pretty cool because i dont need to learn who she is that much, because I already know her, and so that was good. It took me a little while to warm up to jess..haha just kidding.</div></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; "><div>you can tell her i told you that. </div><div> Can you do me a favor though, either you or derek or jess, if you could put the pictures that i have emailed to you, on my facebook, that would be awesome.</div><div>i always have members that tell me that they have looked at my facebook, and if i could have a ton of pictures from my mission on there that would be</div><div>pretty sweet. so please. Do i have to commit you and promise blessings? cause i wont.</div><div> Welp, i should probably get running, love ya, have good week, be safe, play lots of golf and tennis without me, see what i care.</div><div>haha chao.</div><div>love elder gnehm.</div><div> </div></span>Suzanne Gnehmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05560173279008407112noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-288688157878792958.post-15618655363329701752011-07-05T23:10:00.000-06:002011-07-05T23:20:02.507-06:00FOURTH OF JULY PICTURES<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFgk6QjwWOgZX4p-1NINPVwm-7uRAMfnmbZ1zVwyjJE7o1gY7rp3HqOaU6q0GuW1bGBZqahUjhScCA3dwEkUSsVEljMi5aWaXsdUEUSR2jm9ozkBWxqrRk2E4Cb61mcZ3-rH84xtMJD-c/s1600/DSC01599.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFgk6QjwWOgZX4p-1NINPVwm-7uRAMfnmbZ1zVwyjJE7o1gY7rp3HqOaU6q0GuW1bGBZqahUjhScCA3dwEkUSsVEljMi5aWaXsdUEUSR2jm9ozkBWxqrRk2E4Cb61mcZ3-rH84xtMJD-c/s320/DSC01599.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5626104694992334898" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkf_2KHmq7ssfKq0EKlXRuecUSRYrKkJBeu3t7LK2iK4T0QcGnMkSWEV81bHwBg6VDll2cdCLF1EslRC5KmwQYoCUEKhXtvnnSaAEBFRRHRsX9IClV-5VGK03-EmLMZj0Zv9kXtr3ZLsM/s1600/DSC01598.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkf_2KHmq7ssfKq0EKlXRuecUSRYrKkJBeu3t7LK2iK4T0QcGnMkSWEV81bHwBg6VDll2cdCLF1EslRC5KmwQYoCUEKhXtvnnSaAEBFRRHRsX9IClV-5VGK03-EmLMZj0Zv9kXtr3ZLsM/s320/DSC01598.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5626104682188563970" /></a>Suzanne Gnehmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05560173279008407112noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-288688157878792958.post-22046809391354900632011-07-05T23:09:00.000-06:002011-07-05T23:10:25.961-06:00FOURTH OF JULY<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; "><div>What up familia</div><div> </div><div>Hey whats crackin? so this week was a pretty dang busy week for us, there was a lot of stuff that happened.</div><div>So yeah Friday was definately interesting, we got a call from some missionaries to help this guy move in our area, </div><div>so we went and met the people at some storage unit. and there were about 6 of them. Come to find out that every</div><div>single one of them was deaf. I don't know if you know, but its hard to know where to move boxes to when you cant</div><div>understand sign language. But it didn't stop them from trying to talk to us in sign language anyways. So yeah that was</div><div>crazy, i was definately singing count your many blessing that whole day.</div><div> Saturday we did meet President Toombs. He is from Logan utah. He is super cool guy. He just comes over to me the </div><div>first time i meet him and he's like hey man hows it going, and gives me some sort of bro hug that young guys do...you</div><div>wouldn't understand.. haha. but yeah he seems like a really good guy, he's down to earth and he's not as straight down </div><div>to business as president ely was. He was eating lunch with us too, and he was crackin jokes it was cool. In Zone Leader</div><div>Conference not too much changes were made, the only thing thats crazy is that next transfer every companionship</div><div>in the mission is getting a portable DVD player to watch the district dvds and the proselyting dvds like the restoration and such.</div><div>So yeah that will be interesting to see how that goes, and see how long it will be before our first problem happens with that</div><div>with some dumb missionaries. (probably soon) </div><div> Sunday we had the confirmation of our baptism that we had a couple weeks ago. It was good, haha but then she was like</div><div>Elders come here i have somethning thats been weighing on my mind all day. We were like oh great i hope she didn't drink </div><div>coffee or something. But she tells us how she woke up at 330 in the morning the day before by the sound of a trumpet</div><div>and she woke up looked out the windows at the stars and heard a voice say the marines have saved you. haha . so </div><div>i don't know exactly what that means, but it was cool..i guess? I dont know if i already told you this but there is a less active</div><div>that was offended in utah and we went there one day not knowing anything about them and they let us in. (apparently for the last couple</div><div>of years they have been super anti and yelled at everyone that comes over from the church) but we went in not knowing anything and</div><div>we talked and they came to church and have been there the last 3 weeks and are super excited about it now. haha they even brought a</div><div>non member to church on Sunday who wants to know more. haha so yeah less actives are doing more work then the active members</div><div>there is something wrong with that. but cool nevertheless.</div><div> And yesterday was a way fun 4th of July. We went to a breakfast with the ward in the morning, and got to know some people.</div><div>Then we spent the day with the berezay family.remember that family i told you that was stalking me. yeah them. haha they are probably</div><div>reading this so it will just make them mad, which makes me happy for some sick reason.. ALso i'll mention the Hawkins family because they are probably stalking me too, so i'll talk about them to make them happy. They are a cool fam, that made us funnel cakes, i don't know what it is either, and it was weird but it was actually pretty good. but anyways, yeah we went to their cousins house</div><div>and played some tennis with people, played corn hole. I don't know if you know what that is but you throw a bean bag into a hole. haha it sounds</div><div>pretty lame, but its actually kind of fun. its like horseshoes, with a bean bag. But it was super hot yesterday, i was dying.</div><div> But we stayed with them the whole day, and yeah we got to watch them light off some fireworks, and there were tons of people around us doing</div><div>some illegal ones so it was actually exciting. But a guy with us threw an m-80 (small dynamite) into a sewer, haha it was the loudest thing</div><div>I have ever heard in my life, it like shook the ground from across the street. It was cool.

SO saturday we had our baptism, it was way cool, i gave the talk about the baptism, and i used pictures from an 8 year old baptism. I thought it was spiritual but a family in the back was laughing their heads off.. I found out this family has been facebook stalking me, and they want either you or derek to add them as friends so they can look at my pictures. their last name is the berezays. The baptism was really good though, she was definately prepared for it, and it was definately awesome to see a baptism again. </div><div> We also had stake conference this saturday and sunday. WIth elder Payne coming from the 6th quorum of the 70. It was way good. There were some really good talks here, our stake president is from kaysville too and he is old but super down to earth guy. Elder Payne talked a lot about forgiveness and how we have to forgive ourselves and how people like alma the younger were forgiven and became a prophet after destroying the church, so we should be able to be forgiven as well.</div><div> Also something else that is actually happening today is going to be very interesting. So we are moving out of our house and living in a place that is gonna be awful. So outside the house is a huge giant cotton tree and it looks like is snowed outside his house because there is so much of it, also he has 3 cats which will be awesome for my allergies. We are also living in the attic, where its going to be at least 100 degrees every night, because he doesn't have an air condition or anything. We are sleeping on beds that will just be on the floor. oh and my favorite part is our toilet is about 5 feet from my bed, with no door or anything so we will not have privacy at all. Yeah we talked to our bishop and he's like yeah this guy is a really good guy and i think it would just be awesome if you guys could live there. haha so yeah it will definately be a fun time, and i will try to be at home as little as possible. fun eh?</div><div> SO yeah i'm coming up to a year on my mission this week, our mission president is going home. He spoke in our conference and was trying to leave right after it ended, but me and my companion ran to go say goodbye, and he hugged me and just told me to keep doing good. ANd the presidents wife was just crying haha shes like come visit after your mission so i can hug you haha it was funny. The 4th of july is next week, we have a breakfast and we are going to try to watch some fireworks with some members, but we will see how that goes. We are allowed to go and since we can be in all of longmont and loveland i'm sure we can find something. </div><div> We are meeting with the new mission president on saturday during ZLC's i'm excited, i think i already told you but</div><div>he is from logan. Oh guess what else, i was looking at the missionaries that are coming from the mtc next transfer. and there is a missionary from kaysville utah with the last name of farnes. haha i think i actually might now who this is, i went to school with a logan farnes, so that will definately be interesting, i might even have to train him, who knows. </div><div> That is cool that you are going back to work so you can stop being lazy..just kidding. but yeah let me know how that goes. and it sounds like you guys have a ton of stuff going on in the next couple weeks with camps and stuff, that sounds pretty fun. This week we don't have to much going on, we are meeting with two new potential investigators so here is to hoping that we can teach them a lot and baptize them. </div><div>anyways, i gotta run so i love you and will talk to you later have a good week. and i do have pictures this week so be thankful.</div><div>LOVE ELDER GNEHM</div></span>Suzanne Gnehmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05560173279008407112noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-288688157878792958.post-43119163629487421102011-06-20T11:32:00.000-06:002011-06-22T11:34:15.419-06:00BAPTISM ON SATURDAY<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; "><div class="gmail_quote">Yo yo yo yippy yie yippie yay</div><div class="gmail_quote"> </div><div class="gmail_quote">K i just wanted to start by copying and pasting a couple of things that you have said in the past two weeks and i will write a couple comments with them..</div><div class="gmail_quote"> </div><div class="gmail_quote"><u>How's my favorite missionary doing this week?</u> : ok who else would be your favorite missionary.. if i wasn't your favorite missionary by now then i would be a little bit worried. </div><div class="gmail_quote"> </div><div class="gmail_quote"> <u>Tyler and Jess came over on your birthday and when they walked in Jess said Happy Birthday Carson. I thought about you alot that day. Could you feel me thinking about you? : </u>Could I feel you? haha i just think that is a little bit of a silly question. but thankyou for thinking about me on my birthday.</div><div class="gmail_quote"> </div><div class="gmail_quote"><u><br /></u></div><div class="gmail_quote">Ok. sorry i just thought that some of these comments were hilarious, so i had to point them out to you.</div><div class="gmail_quote"> ANYWAYS....</div><div class="gmail_quote">what has been going on lately?

That or the Lord just blesses me because</div><div class="gmail_quote">I am a missionary.. Probably that one. </div><div class="gmail_quote"> SO haha don't be mad at me but once again i totally forgot the camera.

So we go over there and we start teaching the 1st lesson. Talking about the restoration and stuff and its weird because she is acting like she knows it all.. apparently she took all the lessons 20 years ago. She has read the book of mormon, doctrine and covenants, and pearl of great price..twice..</div><div class="gmail_quote">so we were like ok, and i invited her to be baptized. She said when and where. haha..</div><div class="gmail_quote">so that one kind of just fell into our lap, it was awesome. She has a baptismal date for this saturday.</div><div class="gmail_quote"> awesome yeah i know.</div><div class="gmail_quote"> also the other thing is we had another person in the singles ward, that we set for baptism and he is super legit and has been to many activities and answers questions in insitute. So we are excited. That is happening at the end of July.</div><div class="gmail_quote"> SO yeah the work here is going really well, and i'm pretty stoked to stay.</div><div class="gmail_quote">anyways thats what happened this week. Sorry the letter is so short but i got to go do</div><div class="gmail_quote">a ton of stuff for transfers, so i gotta go. love ya have a good week bye.</div></span>Suzanne Gnehmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05560173279008407112noreply@blogger.com0
