Pictures!

Yea! We received some pictures from Sean this week. He is doing great - and is having some good experiences. My favorite was his email home requesting that I send his work boots to him - he had done a service project a few days earlier and cleaned out a black widow infested shed, and wanted boots for the next time he had such a project.... can you say EWWW.... needless to say, when I sent the boots, I did put some of the halloween spiders that I found at the dollar store inside the boots. He said it was "really funny Mom, NOT".... hee hee....This week has been a bit of a frustrating week, his comp has been having some health issues and when I last heard from him, they were waiting for his comp to go to a doc appointment to find out if he will need surgery - and if so, his comp will need to go home. Hopefully all will work out the best for Jones. And.... Sean said, he would love some mail..... so, be sure to check out his address on the right side and drop him a note sometime. I know he would really appreciate it!

Sean & part of the MTC Crew pointing out that they're going to Roseville!

Sean putting stuff in the ceiling at the MTC for future Elders.

In the ceiling.... 

Part of the crew arriving at Sacramento Airport. Mission Pres there to greet them.

New group of missionaries who all arrived in Roseville the same day. Sean said there were 17 missionaries on the plane that day. WOW.  Some are English speaking, some Hmong speaking and some Spanish speaking.

And now, some of his apartment.... I think he should really appreciate this apartment, looks way nicer than some mission apartments I've seen pictures of or heard about.

Amazed at the clean kitchen!

And an organized closet.... hmm, should I wear a white shirt today, or um, a white shirt?

so the desk, not as clean as the kitchen.

Living room...

i love that there appears to be a bowl of cereal or oatmeal... and a  Resolve bottle on the table...
.....uh....don't mix your  food and chemicals, please....

There is Sean in the mirror in his room! Hi Sean!

Sean and his comp and some other Elders. When he said that his Comp was really tall - he was not joking.  

Sean and a few Elders on transfer day... Sean stayed  in Citrus Heights. These two went to other locations.

 

Some P-Day fun with the elders in his district. 

Really not sure whats going on here. Playing with monopoly money & houses....
maybe learning good budgeting skills??? LOLOLO

10.10.2011 News From Sean....

Received my weekly email yesterday.... Elder Simmons is doing well - he did not get transferred this time around. Here are some tidbits from his week (and again, ignore the run-on sentences, lack of capital letters, sentence/thought transition):

Its been pretty great. we got a coupe of lessons planned but were gonna try to get 20 total this week. thats our goal. Our transfers finally came in today and i didnt get transfered, neither did jones. since this is my first area i will probably be here quite some time if all goes as it usually does. but every other companionship in our zone is getting transfered. so each person will get a new companion. Our apartment is pretty good i guess, actually its really nice i'd say. 2 bedroom 2 baths which is nice so we each get our own bathroom. the neighborhood is nice i guess, nice neighbors when you do see them. we live on the second floor. were also in a car right now but that always can change if jones gets transferred. i do use my bike when we go on exchanges which is quite often. it is a great bike, very relaxing. the weather has cooled down which is so nice i love it. its sooooo rainy today though, getting some good use out of my raincoat. it got here just in time. today were gonna go to walmart and get some stuff and then head to the church for the pday activity. it is transfers week however so we will probably be taking pictures and junk like that. maybe a little bit of soccer. Elder menacho wants to play that today. we havnt met with deloris yet, but we will friday. jamal still is pretty strong we just have to wait and see. i forgot my cable but next time im at the owens ill get you some pictures. 


So.... hopefully he will remember his camera cable next Monday so that he can download some pictures and send them to us!
