Another snowing day here in Colorado, the time is getting closer and closer to the BIG day! lol i cant believe how fast time is going by. so i just found out on monday starting this next week our pdays will be on monday from now on, so email ethier sunday or monday morning. Our mission President said that the missionary department of the church encourages it and so that is what he is wanting to do, i was kind of bummed about the whole deal but whatever i only have to email 12 more times! ha
so with pday being on monday it is changing a couple things up at least i have heard we will learn more about it for sure this upcoming tuesday at a leadership training. but i was told that with pday being monday, transfers will be on tuesdays and we will go home on wednesdays not fridays, so if that's right i'll be home the 9th of Feb. not the 11th. which means it's exactly 12 weeks away from today. 84 days! haha so crazy.
anyways so yeah i also recieved a call monday night from President Maynes and he called me to train a new missionary, which should be a really exciting thing but i'm not too excited for it! ha i'm actually kind of nervous. i think it will be a real humbling experience, because how i train will be a foundation for the rest of his mission and i dont want to mess it up! that's why i never wanted to train. but come what may and love it. right!? ha
i believe i am staying as district leader but i wont find out for sure until tomorrow.
another rumor floating around is that the Parachute branch will open up on moms BIG BDAY! lol so i hope that goes through, at the same time i'm sure the missionaries will be doing lots of assignments or giving talks to start off if we dont have a ton of people!
my comp took off today and is on his way back to Denver and he flies out on friday. the work in the Parachute area continues to move forward and i hope that it wont slow down.
we had a brother come to church on sunday that hasn't been to church in over 3 years since his little girl was blessed, it was so awesome to see him come because we have been working with him for so long! i think re-activating members is so awesome! rekindling that spark that they once had. so this next 6 weeks i have a lot to look forward to! i also call home this transfer, isn't that weird? time just flies by too fast.
i hope all is well and y'all have a great week! :) miss you so much and love you!! you could call the mission office to confirm that whole leaving 2 days early thing if you want.
love Randy

One year older and WISER TOO! lol NOT!! i had a great birthday though, thank you so much for all the gifts and birthday wishes, it was a great day. i woke up and opened the gifts and then had a normal morning. then for lunch we all (the 6 of us) went to a place called rib city (really good bbq) then we went out to Parachute and worked until 5 then we headed back to Rifle because the Larsen family came down from Glenwood and took us out to dinner.
it was awesome being able to see them and we had a good dinner, then after that there was a FHE activity at the church for our investigators or families that we are working with to go to and so we did that from 7-8 or so then i went and bought some IBC ROOTbeer and went back to the place! ha i really loved all the things you sent me, and the cards were great! the only thing that could have made it better was if i was able to see all of you! karie sent me a cd with pictures and videos of Raegan and that got me really trunky, probably the best gift! ha not that i didn't like any of the others because i really love them!
sounds like the football team is rolling right along, so this past week was the first round of playoffs and this upcoming week is the quater finals, is that right? i hope i hear from kraymer and kade about the games. i heard from them a few weeks back and didn't write them back yet, sorry guys. ha but they seem to be doing good. so continue to kick butt guys! bring home the gold!!!
well the work is starting to pick up in Parachute and we have some good things going. we finished last week with 19 lessons taught to investigators and/or less active members. and we have a great start to this week so far. this past sunday we had 2 investigators come to church, it was awesome seeing them there. we also got 4 new investigators throughout the week, which is really exciting for being down there, but what i love is how humble most of the people are.
the Hurley family came to church this past sunday as well, we have been working with them trying to get them out and they made it! :) then they also came to the FHE activity on monday night, and then last night we had dinner at their house and we had navajo tacos but these weren't knock off's these were the real deal! ha because they are native americans! Sister Hurley is going to have her baby anytime this week, which will be the 9th one!
they found a place to rent to start the branch up, i heard that they are going to rent out part of the senior center which is kind of weird but hey they have so much space they're not using right now that they wanted to rent it out so my guess is before Chirstmas we will be going to church down there in Parachute with our own branch.
i gave up on looking for a place to live down there because i figured it's better to teach people then look for a place to live so i'm sure when the Lord is ready he'll find something that is available to us. transfers are next week, so next time i email i'll let you know if i'll still be in Parachute or not, my guess is that i will be!
but the Lord's work continues to move forward and i'm happy so all is well!
i need to write some thank you letters for the things i recieved for my birthday and i also need to write y'all back. i think it's like 93 days or something i cant remember but it continues to fly by. i love you all so much! thanks for all you do.

so this past week was a great week. Saturday we had our trunk-or-treat thing and we had so many non members and less actives show up! it is good to have those ward activities like that, we also had a few non members come out and play flag football with us. it was awesome! thank you for sending my cleats i forgot how amazing i was! lol NOT!!!
but at the trunk or treat thing we all dressed up in old school suit coats and then we decorated our trunk, it was really fun i liked this Halloween a lot better than last years. i took pictures so you can see when i send this sd card home.
yesterday we had an appt with an inactive couple and he is an RM, well we were there talking and i asked him where he served and he said that he served in Washington DC and i knew his age and figured it was about the same time that Reese served so i was like did you by chance know an Elder Edler and he was like ya i guess they didn't serve together but lived in the same apartment! at first i was like does this guy really know him or is he just saying this ya know? and then he was like yeah he would always talk about tractors and fields and i started laughing and said YOU DO KNOW HIM!!! so tell Reese that Elder Shaefermyer (sp) says hi! it's sad that a returned missionary has gone completely in-active, i hate seeing people do that.
right after that appt we had another one with the Hurley family and they are in-active as well. they are native american and have 8 almost 9 kids, she is due on the 8th! :) but anyways we had an awesome lesson the spirit was so strong and the dad totally took charge and was saying what they need to work on as a family and how they need to re-dedicate themselves. it was probably the most spiritual lesson i had in this area. they have a few kids that haven't been baptized so we are trying to work with the dad so that he will be able to baptize them. as soon as my comp and i got in the car we were yelling and saying that was so awesome! this is why i love the mission so much, because i can see the change that the Gospel can bring to people in their lives if they let it.
we have had a few appts that were just spanish speaking and i feel like i do nothing in those because i dont! haha i just sit there and try to stay awake, i was going to try and learn spanish but i gave up on that quick! ha i need to get going though cuz my time is up!
i cant wait to get my package and the letters from y'all! keep strong at studying and saying your prayers! i love you and miss you!

Well another week has gone by and it's been awhile since i emailed last, but it still feels like it was only a week. this past week was awesome with the different confrences & meetings we had.
Tuesday we were able to go up to Frisco for a leadership training and i really enjoyed the confrence he trainned on how it important or crucial it is to have the spirit with us as we teach. it went from 9 to 2 so it was pretty lengthy but it was well worth going, having the opportunity to be trained by a member of the seventy. it was funny on the way up there we left at about 6:30 that morning and we met up with some other Elders in Glenwood so our companions could go on team ups while we were gone and so there were 5 of us in some sort of leader ship in the car and Elder Christensen was driving (he's the one from Walla Walla) and we figured we were going to be late and he did not want to speed so we pulled over and i jumped in the drivers seat and we were making good time until we came up behind a cop and so i didn't want to pass him speeding so i just stayed behind him and he was going faster than the speed limit as much as 15 mph above it so i just stayed behind up until about 5 miles out from Frisco he turns his lights on pulls over to the side of the road and so i go around him and then he turns his lights off and gets in right behind me and followed us the rest of the way 'til we exited of at Frisco! haha it was so scary i thought for sure i was going to get pulled over or get my first ticket! then on the way home that night we stopped by and had dinner at the Larsens in Glenwood, it was so awesome to see them again! i miss going over to there place and visiting with them.
Anyways then the next day we went to Grand Junction for our Zone Confrence and we were trainned by him again, so i got to spend 2 days being instructed by a General Authority it was really neat! i was able to jot down lots of notes and things on how to help me become a better missionary.
we're still working with trying to figure out who everyone is in Parachute and it really suprises me how many members there are down there. there are 124 house holds in Parachute that are on the ward roster but i dont even think 1/4 of them are active! i've noticed that there are lots of part member famlies, so that is a big focus we are tyring to make right now. but just think if on average those 124 house holds had 2 people in them that would be 248 people, that is plenty to make a ward! not only a branch but a full ward! we have been able to meet with lots of them throughout the past week and we are hoping that our next appt's will go through. Parachute is where lots of the workers that work in the oil/gas fields live and within the past year or so more than half the town has moved out because the work slowed down with some new deal they did in the government is what i heard. it's crazy walking or driving through town and seeing so may empty trailers and homes it looks like it should be on a movie or something.
i think once the branch opens we will see lots more of these families become active because they wont have to drive 20 minutes to get to church. i was talking with the stake President the other day and he said it probably wont be open for the next couple months at least that's what they're hoping for. i really hope i'll be here to see it open!
i need to get going, the other Elders are ready to leave and we are going to grab some lunch. i hope to hear from everyone again soo! i'm trying to write y'all back as i get the time i'm writng little by little so i'll send those out when i finish. i hope you got the sd card or you should be getting it soon, it's nothing special. i miss you and love you!

It seems weird to be emailing on Monday, i'm just so used to Wednesday and it being the mid week kind of spliting the week in half but i guess it's nice since i just heard from you 5 days ago, what stinks is that this upcoming week will be a week and a half before i hear from you or am able to email back. so real quick before i forget i have been meaning to tell you for the past 4 weeks, but i chipped my tooth!ha it's nothing huge but chipped my front big tooth. when i was back in Glenwood we would go run on the track at the high school in the mornings and i was pumping up my football to carry as i ran and the needle broke off in the ball so i tried pulling it out and couldn't get it so i tried using my teeth and the dang thing chipped my tooth! i was so mad because i always remember you saying "dont use your teeth to open that, you'll chip them or break them" and sure enough it happened! once again i should of listened to my parents. ha
We still haven't found a place to live closer to Parachute, we're still trying to find something but i think the mission office kind of gave up and put it in our hands. so in my opinion we'll probably be staying here in Rifle 'til at least this next transfer, we are going to get some dressers from the members of the ward so we dont have to keep living out of the suit cases! we could stay in an apartment but the church is not wanting to make a 6 month lease they only want like a month or 2 month lease so not many people are wanting to do that, and the ones that are will charge way more than they want to pay for...
we're still not sure when they plan on opening the branch up, i guess the building that they were going to rent fell through so they are still looking for a place to meet. there is so many different stories going around saying it will open in mid November and others say not till early next year, so i guess we'll wait and see what happens. but it will be really cool knowing that at some point it will become a ward and like you said to know that i was one of the first missionaries to be there when it started. we have been able to contact a bunch of people this past week,
we weren't able to meet with Erik on Friday so we re-scheduled with an appt on tuesday. We talk 3 different lessons to our spanish investigators and i just sat there the whole time! lol my comp taught the whole time and i tried not to fall asleep! ha it is so weird being in a spanglish companionship, i could understand the gist of what they were saying but couldn't participate, so i think i'm giong to try and learn some spanish so i will be able to communicate or help at least some! i got 4 months so i might give it a shot.ha
we had 1 investigator to church this past sunday so that was nice. i'm really looking forward to this week, tomorrow we have that leadership trainining and then wednesday we have zone confrence so it will be good! and that's when i'll talk to President Maynes about the whole schooling thing.
the ward members here in the Rifle 1st ward are on top of missionary work it is so great! i think this ward has been the best one i've been in so far when it comes to member missionary work. not that the other wards i've been in weren't but they are great here! i have a good feeling that we will see lots of success here within the next few months! it still never ceases to amaze me how fast time goes by! i wish it would slow down some!
i cant wait to hear from you again even though it will be like 10 days, i hope all goes well with everyone between now and then. i look forward to getting a letter from EVERYONE soon! miss you so much! love you!!!

It's Offical!
We received a letter from the mission office informing us that Elder Anderson's release date is February 11, 2011. More details will come about a month before his release date.
So as for my week, it has been pretty crazy. to start off i really miss Glenwood Springs and wish that i would have been able to stay there at least one more, i've been able to stay in touch with the Larsens and we went down to Glenwood yesterday for district meeting and i stopped and talked with Brother Larsen for a little while, it was weird being in Glenwood but not serving there ya know? i hope we'll be able to go through there when we come back through next year, i've told everyone that i am so i gotta keep my word! ha as Sister Larsen told you i got transferred into an area called Parachute, which is just down I-70 about 45 miles from Glenwood so it's not too bad.
i have only been able to work in the area for 3 days so far this transfer but we were able to teach a 14 year old boy named Erik and we invited him to be baptized, he has to talk with his parents to figure out a date that we can do it but they have given him permission to do it so we are way excited! his fellowship family is doing a great job, he is bestfriends with their boy. there is so much work that is going to be going on down there i am really looking forward to serving there.
the church is really making a push to do work with less active, inactive, and part member families so that is what we are going to be focusing on. we dont keep track of hours tracted anymore and when we teach lessons to active members they dont count as our numbers we report.
i have so much to say and i'm so scatter brained right now i apologize if none of this makes since. so my new companion is Elder Alcocer, he is from Midland, Texas which is where Nate Eppich is serving right now! But he goes home this transfer so i'm "killing" my 4th missionary, he is a spanish speaking missionary so we are a spanglish companionship. i'm the district leader in the district and have driving privileges so i'm happy because i hate not driving.
so the church is planning on opening up a branch in Parachute within the next few months, which is really exciting. it kind of gives us the motivation we need to get the work going so they can do that. but that's why they brought missionaries into this area is to get it going before the branch opens. right now the members that live in Parachute go to the Rifle 1st ward which is 15 miles away and that is actually where we are living now with 4 other missionaries! so everday we have to drive 30 miles round trip to just work in our area. they haven't found a place for us to live down there yet and have kind of left us on our own to find a place then they will pay for. i cant even un-pack my stuff, i'm literally living out of my suitcases and then i'm sleeping on the couch and my comp is on the ground with a matress! so that address you got of mine is just temporarily hopefully but i'll let you know if it changes, i look forward to getting mail from everyone.
i'm looking forward to serving here and i would imagine that this will be my last area, overall the people out this way are lots more humble then those in Glenwood. this next week our pday will be on monday so make sure to email me sunday night or monday, it's this way because Elder Richards of the Seventy is coming into our mission and we are having zone confrence with him on wednesday. i'm looking forward to meeting him and being trainned by him. tuesday the district leaders and zone leaders get to drive to frisco to be trainned by him in a leadership meeting so it will be more of a personal type basis. then on the way back from that we are going to stop and have dinner at the Larsens in Glenwood springs so i'm excited for that as well. i miss you and love you all so much, please continue to pray for me and pray that we'll find somewhere to live! ha i hope to hear back from you soon. tell everyone hello! thanks for all you do! :)

i'm looking forward to serving here and i would imagine that this will be my last area, overall the people out this way are lots more humble then those in Glenwood. this next week our pday will be on monday so make sure to email me sunday night or monday, it's this way because Elder Richards of the Seventy is coming into our mission and we are having zone confrence with him on wednesday. i'm looking forward to meeting him and being trainned by him. tuesday the district leaders and zone leaders get to drive to frisco to be trainned by him in a leadership meeting so it will be more of a personal type basis. then on the way back from that we are going to stop and have dinner at the Larsens in Glenwood springs so i'm excited for that as well. i miss you and love you all so much, please continue to pray for me and pray that we'll find somewhere to live! ha i hope to hear back from you soon. tell everyone hello! thanks for all you do! :)
love Randy
