Chello!
Greetings from SHERIDAN, WYOMING!!! I'M BACK!!!!!!!!!
I am so excited to be in sheridan. We drove through Buffalo wyoming. Picked up two elders and kept going to sheridan. About a two hour drive towards montana.But as we were approaching, I started getting so excited!!! I am so happy to be here. There has been alot of drama recently between the Elders and Sisters up here. So we are going to put a cabosh on that right now. HOLY BUCKETS we are servants of the lord for heavens sake! It is just ridiculous! But wow, I really do love it here. It is so awesome. I started singing when I got into town. Elder Dahl is in the 2nd ward. So I get to see my MTC comp and all.
So amazing experiences this week. ZLC was amazing. I was receiving so much revelation I could not even write fast enough. Me and Elder Barker got a new car 2011 Ford Fushion. I think I wrote about that last email but oh well. I have been converted by Elder Barker to chewing Sun FLower Seeds!! BBQ and Salsa flavor holy moly so good. I told him I played baseball for ever and I never spit seeds. But since we travel so much, spitting seeds. But I am down to my last bag and I am quitting.
So awesome news on September 17th & 18th is the Gillette, Wyoming Stake Conference and we have a visitor.... ELDER RUSSEL M. NELSON!!!! And! He wants to meet with me and Elder Barker! ahh!!!! Crazy!!!! I think he is going to do heart surgery on me!! :) But we are so pumped. We met with President Tew the stake pres on saturday (every saturday we meet at his house for breakfast and talking about the zone) But yeah holy buckets!!!!
Adrian Munoz & Amber Tollentino. They have been living together for a while. Amber is a member, she has two girls Acacia (10) and JAden (9) He called us on Wednesday and was like ummm.. can you marry us tomorrow?? We said uhh.. sure. So we called our bishop and he was leaving town so there is only one more person who could marry them. President Tew!!! So the stake president married our two investigators on thursday!! It was such a cool ceremony. I will send pics next week! It was awesome! They came to church on sunday and loved it. They are going to be good for July 30th!! We are so pumped. The whole reason that they wanted to get married to is because Adrian heard that he couldnt get baptized with them living together so he was like shoot lets do it. He is such an awesome guy though! The most solid I have ever taught! :)
I am glad that Kymber liked her present though. That is a really cool Idea! I hope that she had a good bday!
Yeah we go non stop we dont ever stop. We usually wake up at 530 on pdays and get going doin stuff. We dont ever sleep. The only time that I slept on PDay was when I was in wright, when there was nothing to do AT ALL!
That would be awesome if I could have chelseys desk. The white one? That would be way cool. I have so much crap. Its funny. I will bring home and send home alot from the mission. I have decided that wherever we go as a family. I am going to wear my jeans, boots, belt & belt buckle and my cowboy hat and always have a toothpick. I cant wait to embarass all of you :) I might bring a rope and rope everyone :)
Larry Taylor- Less active guy who we have been working with is from SLC. Loves the church is just really down right now. But I really like this guy. Is just looking for his purpose in life! But he came to church on sunday and we invited him to dinner with us and Bishop Heatons house and he just loved it. We all talked football and construction and all the good stuff! But holy moly. So many good things are happening in our area and throughout our zone!
It seems like all we can find is families!! WHICH IS SO AWESOME! It is going to be way cool! We are teaching probably like 10 families right now that are progressing pretty well. It has been real real humid but real real awesome. Gillette is really growing on me.
Our ward mission leader is a 350 pound Man from Hawaii. Brother Naumu (NAH OOO MOO) He has like 5 kids and him and his wife live in a trailer park and run the trailer park and it is kinda all by its lonesome so we call it NAUMUVILLE. So, we are going to make a sign and put it in their front yard! :)
I really enjoy the ward and of course Wright. We will be going on a tour of Black Thunder Mine next PDay. it will be way fun!
We just got a bunch of furniture! Brand new couches from a family in 2nd ward. Kinda like the living room couches. Kitchen table and wow. Our place is way legit! I love it.
So I cant believe that whole dust storm thing. Its crazy! But woah! Holy Buckets that was weird looking. Dad was right something straight out of the mummy!!!
I love you all so much!
Remember to Be strong, and most of all Believe!
Love,

uenos Noches!!! Mi amigos in the dessert! How are you?!
Happy Fourth of July. Happy Birthday Kymber. Happy everything everyone!!!! What a party!
Just got back from Rapid City at about 8 last night. We ended up not going to Mount Rushmore. We got done to late. But the Mission Home is on top of Canyon Mountain which overlooks Canyon Lake. So we started a fire and sat outside and watched the fireworks all over Rapid City. Pretty Cool HUh?!! Lots of fun. But Rapid was lots of fun as usual. So much is happening throughout the entire world. The church just bought all of us. I mean all 53,000 missionaries portable DVD players. Well one for every companionship. So about 26,000 portable DVD players. So that we can study in the morning by watching the Preach my Gospel DVD's and learn and grow. The church is definitly not shying away from technology. They are embracing and going for it!! :) President Layton said it is a matter of time before we all have laptops! Crazy!!
But so much is in store for us these days. We are doing so awesome. Our mission is on fire. We now have a goal from July-December to have 180 baptisms in the missions. Some missions do that WEEKLY!!!! We are shooting for a six month period!!! :) Gotta love the Plains. But if we were going to do that we would of had 330 total for 2011!!!! :)
I liked my shirt. I wore it on monday! :) President just started laughing. But it is good stuff.
Great news. So Brother Zabel (2nd Counselor in the bishopbric) gave us a referral for this family the tolentino family. I cant remember if I told you about them last week or not. Amber is the mom. (member) Adrian is the dad. Acacia is 10, Jaden is 9. Adrian, JAden, Acacia are not members. We went over there and taught them and the spirit was so strong. There was a pause after I had shared the first vision with them and adrian started to cry. I told him. How do you feel? He said that story has never touched me before like that. I told him that the the holy ghost is speaking to him right now and for him not to fight it and accept it. About two minutes later we invited Him, Acacia and Jaden to be baptized!!! They are on date for July 30th!!! :) Oh yeah!!! Such a powerhouse lesson!
Gillette is growing on me. We are having such a good time. The lord will bless us so much. We are doing awesome.
We have alot of meetings today. All of the west side of the mission is coming to gillette to Leadership meeting. All of the trainers, DL's, ZL's and the AP's of the west side come to it. Its really a good meeting. I love it!! :)
Remember my love for you. I love you all!

Good Morning!
Greetings from Gillette, Wyoming! "The nations energy capital" Half of the worlds coal comes from Cambell County (i.e. Wright & Gillette) It is the richest county in the nation. It is so crazy! All of the community buildings are just HUGE! They have the nicest stuff ever. But oh well! Only in Cambell County! I really am enjoying Gillette. Definitly not the Promise Land of Capser. But it is still a great town. We cover the Gillette 3rd Ward, Wright Ward & YSA Branch. On sunday we spoke in the YSA Branch there was 7 people there. It was hilarious. But I kinda had a vision!! I looked out at the audience and saw it full. It was the coolest thing ever. So, We got the work cut out for us!! We are going to take off!!
Last night was AWESOME! We drove to wright (about a 45 minute drive to the south towards casper) We visited a couple families and drove out to the bertanogles house half way to newcastle and had an awesome lesson with Tommy Mills. I taught tommy when I was in wright. He is doing awesome!! He is ready for baptism! All he needs to do is quit chew. So he is doing pretty good! He is on fire! He is having a hard time on how he is going to break it to his family that he is going to be baptized but he will do good! He has so much faith! He will do awesome!!! We are way way excited for that! So we have another appointment this thursday with him. I miss wright!
Next week is ZLC on July 4th and I have pretty much convinced president to go to Mount Rushmore for Fireworks! How cool would that be!!!! So we should be going to that. :) So we will have casper drive up sunday night and on monday hop on the I-90 and head to Rapid City, SD!!! :) I am really looking forward to Zone Leader Council. I love being with all the Zone Leaders. The Elders in Minot, ND Elder Hardwick and Elder Hilbun are there right now and they had to be evacuated I believe they are in Bismark, ND where the temple is. That is so cool that Candice and her family are there. Minot is such a cool town. I have been there once! Its way way cool. I really hope I get to go there. It would be such a party. Tell them they should totally come visit me!!! :) That would be awesome!! But If I am heading in that direction I will for sure try and see them! Minot has so so so so so much work. Guys are making about 25 to 40 dollars an hour. They make about 20,000 dollars a month. Its all oil field work. Tough Work but let me tell ya its great money. A ton of guys in casper would go to minot and all.
In two weeks guess where we are going. SHERIDAN!!! oH YEAH! I am so excited to head back to the promised land!!! :) We are going to drive up on sunday night and spend P-day with them and go on splits and Catch a District Meeting. I cant believe that I get to go back!! Yes!!!
I totally did get the package! The mr. big bar was melted but I threw it in the fridge and it wasnt too bad. When it was good. I have everyone try it. They fell in love like me! :) But I enjoy the socks. They work okay. if you get a chance. pomeroys sell some awesome brown socks that are gold toes. But if you get a chance. They are just a little bit thicker so the sweat doesnt go through so much.
No more Sisters. Yeah, that was real real quick. Any particular reason for the switch? Sister Blackburn was Boise, Idaho (from aunt betty's ward) is sitting right next to me. Her greenie area is Gillette, Wyoming. Her trainer is Sister Marinda Hunt (Mesa) So it was pretty cool. She has no idea who aunt betty is by the way. :) SHe asked me what her last name is. I said i have no idea. I just know her as Aunt Betty. :)
Well good news from Casper. Cherie Brantley got baptized!!! I was not able to go to the baptism. President would not let us drive our car so we tried to get a ride but couldnt. So Elder Horrocks baptized her. I was bummed but I am just glad that she got baptized! They are bringing me pics and a program! So that is good.
Yeah I am starting to think I have Legal Problems in Wyoming that I dont know about and they wont let me get transferred outside of the state! Crazy Crazy Crazy! I hope next time I get transferred I get to go somewhere else. But we will see! ( Next time I get transferred will be my last!!!! Yikes!!!!)
I seriously can not wait to show you all of the places I have been. It will be so much fun. it will be an easy trip really. We will be in WYOMING THE WHOLE TIME!!! :)
Story... We were tracting and knock on this trailer door and the lady comes to the door and stumbles out (as wasted as I have seen anyone) she starts yelling "I AM A LAMANITE, I AM A LAMANITE!! EVERYONE HEAR ME ROAR!!" she said that about three times and passed out on her porch so we just walked away and wrote her a note.
Story... Knocking doors again and this guy comes out in nothing but whitey tities and steel towed boots. He says "Elders, I am a drunk, I have been baptized! Come Pray with me!! We pray with him and during the prayer he falls asleep. So again we leave him a note. (drunk native)
Good times. I have alot of stories that I need to start sharing. :)
Well things are going so so good. I love being an Missionary. I love doing what I do. Simply I know this church is true. And no one or nothing can ever take that from me.
I love you all very much!!

Well Hello
Sorry I didnt get my email off yesterday. It was a busy PDay. For some reason I had to get on a transfer train and GET TRANSFERRED DARNIT!!!! Yes the rumors and all the hype is true elder rudd has finally left Casper, Wyoming. President Layton called on Saturday and told me he needed to get me out of Casper before I apply for residency in casper or run for mayor. Me and Elder Horrocks were so bummed to leave each other we had such a fun time together. I really enjoying being companions with him. I am really going to miss it. But it will be alright.
Now the question.... Where Did Elder Rudd get transferred too? Is he still a ZL? Did he leave wyoming? What happened to Elder Rudd?

Yes it is true.... Elder Rudd is still in Wyoming. I have now served in Every major city in Wyoming in our mission. Sheridan, Capser and Gillette. Woohoo! I will admit I really do want to get out and see more things and go to other parts of the mission but I do enjoy the work here in Wyoming. I really hope I get to go somewhere on the East side. But for the time being. Elder Rudd is now in Gillette, Wyoming. Cool stuff though.... We cover Wright!!!! I am going back to wright! YEs!!! It will be so much fun. Also! I get to go back to sheridan!! Oh yeah!!! :) I am so pumped! By the way my Comps name is Elder Barker from Payson, Utah. So yes Elder Hammond and Elder Barker are my only two utards. He was Elder Horrocks MTC Comp. He has been out about 18 months. He has been a zone leader for a month. I have so many great plans for the Gillette Zone. It has really struggled for quite some time. I remember being in Wright and just watch the zone really hurt. I cant wait to help change that. The work will be awesome. I can not wait to get out and do the work!!!!

So cherie was supposed to be baptized on saturday in Casper. But we got a call from Cherie at about 1:30 in the morning telling us that she was in the hosptial and had gotten a yeast infection!!! So she could not be baptized. So it was a major bummer. But as soon as that is cleared up she will be baptized. Bad news was that Elder Pugmire and his parents had driven from Salt Lake to come up for the baptism and he was going to be baptizing her! So we had to call him and tell him the bad news! It was such a bummer. They were okay with it. They took us out to breakfast and all. But it was still a major bummer. But it was good. Cherie will get baptized and wants me to come baptize her in casper when it all clears up. Also Ashley Kahtala wants me to come baptize her in casper too. So I might be taking a couple trips to casper!
But yes mom we are always on the move. We are never stopping. In two weeks we have Zone Leader Council again. So, we are taking off to Rapid. Then next week we will be heading to sheridan. Just alot of crazy things. Lots of fun though.
Elder Gardner who is serving in Sheridan had to go home for knee surgery too. He went home from Sioux Falls too. He came out the transfer I went home and went home two transfers after I came back. Right now we are in a threesome until he gets a new comp so we have talked alot alot alot about our surgeries and all the good stuff. :)
I am really really really going to miss casper. But I already know the Gillette Area and Zone very well. I am excited to just go right too work.
But holy canoly so much fun!! I took like everything I had in casper to gillette. I filled the whole back of the trailer. :) I will start to send things home. But Man I dont travel light thats for sure!
I am so happy to do what I do and to serve the lord. The gospel is awesome. In the words of mi papa. "The church is true, what else matters?" So good! I love everything.
I love you all so much.
Happy Papas Day Dad.
I love you. You are my hero and you will never know how much I admire you. I love you you are the best.
