Dear Momma,

Well, this week has been fun! The Bass' (The senior couple here in Oxford) are leaving tomorrow! D: But the good thing is that we get a lot of their stuff! We got a bbq, and a new microwave, and tons of food! It's great! But other than that nothing much has happened. We got in a huge (kinda) bible bash with some campus crusaders. I say 'kinda' because Elder Moore and I just kinda sat there. They did ALL the talking. We would say something every 5 or 10 minutes. There was 4 of them, and they just argued with themselves!!! It was hilarious! We did absolutely nothing. But it was still really annoying. It was just a giant waste of our time, and they wouldn't let us out. I tried leaving 4 or 5 times. Eventually I just stood up and walked out... Hopefully they weren't offended! (But a note for up and coming missionaries, don't get in bible bashes, nobody benefits from those, it just drives the spirit away and you just wasted the Lord's time!) So ya, that was everything exciting this last week! 

Love, 

-Elder Lemmon

P.S. Elder Moore is making me wear hair gel :P

Momma!!!!

I'm doing great! The work is chugging along, and that depends on what you mean by interesting!! Because you can't go one day in Oxford without something kinda strange happening! Dad got a new truck?????????????????????????????????????????????????????? So I leave and all of the sudden Dad goes off the deep end and buys snowmobiles, trucks, almost gets a dog, finishes his own small house, and who knows what else? Is he really saving that much money while I'm out here? Haha, just kidding, I know he just misses me so much that he has to buy stuff to compensate!

So ya, I can't believe Garrett is getting married! And yes I think Karli told me that Todd got married. So ya, I can't think of anything super interesting that has happened over the week.. Frogs are still evil! I love you!

Momma!

Well, I don't have much to say this week! We had General Conference, Elder Moore and I watched it at the branch building. That was super great, the Bass' watched it with us, that was fun too. We have had a lot of fun this week, Pat hasn't been doing the best. She actually went blind for about 3 days, and she still can't read anything... So we copied off a Book of Mormon onto CD so she can listen to it! Hopefully she has been doing that! Wallie is doing good too. He actually gave us two referrals yesterday! Hopefully we can start teaching them soon. He also wants us to meet with his dad... Which wouldn't be bad, besides the fact that his dad is a Pentecostal preacher!! So we will see how that goes. So ya, thats pretty much the last week! We learned a lot from General Conference! I loved every single talk! And I didn't fall asleep during any of them! (Besides one... But close enough right?) I took a whole bunch of notes, and hopefully I will be able to copy them off and send them next week!

So ya, I love it out here! Today is our first 'non-suit' season day! We aren't wearing suits! Its awesome! I love it! So ya, I love all of you!!!!!!

Momma!

Easter was great! We had a whole bunch of good lessons and a great dinner! The Jones family fed us last night. It was super fun! We used the lesson that you sent us and it went great!! :D I'm definately going to keep it for next year! Moab sounds fun, wish I could be there! And tell Warren that I didn't even get an easter basket! (Not including the package!) 

So our investigators are doing well. We haven't been able to meet with Pat for the last couple days because of spring break. And Wallie is quitting smoking today! We are going to visit him tonight and see how he is doing. Hopefully he has been reading the Book of Mormon too. Well, theres not much else to tell besides the fact that we went to  Jungle Jims last monday. It was AWESOME! I will send pictures today (Not all of them, I took a lot of pictures...). I LOVE ALL OF YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Remember, the Book of Mormon is the most powerful and correct book in the history of the earth! It contains the fullness of Christ's everlasting Gospel, and 'a man will draw nearer to God by living it's precepts, than by any other book'! It is a beautifully simple, plain book! Never underestimate the power of it!
