Elder Hinckley..4 zones....Mission Pres...3 Stake Pres....100 Missionaries plus

Oct 19th 2009
Hey people!
Glad to see that everything is going good in Az. Good to see that everything is doing well. I am doing good and it is really starting to cool off in Crestwood. One morning we woke up to go to church and the car was like covered with ice it was crazy. But i like the cold so it feels so good but its starting to be suit season.
teaching going good no one new yet just the same people. but i got a good story so Elder Richard G. Hinckley came to Kentucky and visited the mission and his son and his family. so he was at one of our zone conferences and so there was like 4 zones there. so we were asked to prepare a 15 min lesson on the plan of salvation. cuz people were going to be called to role play. so like always me and elder Egan got called to role play it and we did it in front of Elder Hinckley and Pres. and 3 stake pres and about 100 missionaries. man was i nervous! but we did it and we were first to go out of 3 companionship's. and we did it so good we were bomb! so that was way to to role play in front of a member of the 70.
good to see Tyler excited about the temple! he is going to be in awe the whole time!

First Baptism ..... Oct 10th 2009

Oct 12th 2009
Hey Ya'll!..How is it going? i am doing good as usual.
so yes the baptism went through of course. Eric got baptized on the 10th at 4:30. it was such a cool and amazing thing. the spirit was just so strong. his fiance gave a bomb talk on baptism and confirmation it was so sweet and really spiritual and from the heart. Elder Egan baptized Eric and i was a witness and said the closing prayer. the whole time i just couldn't stop smiling. i loved it and cant wait to have more of them and be able to experience that again. then Sunday he got confirmed and received the holy ghost and i got to be apart of the circle and that also was so sweet and amazing it is hard to describe how i felt so ya but just so amazing. umm other investigators... we are going to be teaching Brittney tonight for the with a family that she is real good friends with so that is what's going on there so ya. um we might be teaching this family again that had the discussions before so we will see were that goes. and we are still teaching this less active with his family and another family and that is going real well. other than that we got to do some finding.
.so lets see anything funny happen.... um we nailed a vulture a couple of days ago and it was so funny it nailed the windshield right in front of me. Me and Elder Egan have made a promise that we will hit them if they are in the road. and i see so many things dead on the road. its kind of nasty. i see road kill everywhere. well some other stuff has happened and ya you will see the videos on my memory card so ya you will have to wait for that.haha
well i love u all and miss you all tons!!
"may god be with you till we meet again"
Love Elder Jarvis

Conference Amazing B of M True

Oct 5th 2009
hey yall!! how is it goin in az? i am doin good in crestwood. still lovin it. the weather is starting to get real nice. cooling off alot.
conference was amazing. i love it. the best talk off all though is Elder Hollands talk! wow that was so powerful. that has been my favorite talk so far. there is no comparison to that one. the way he just testified of the B of M. after hearing that talk i don't know how people can deny that the B of M is true. they wouldn't of gone through all of that if it wasn't true! so ya that was my favorite by far.
i cant wait for Halloween it will be funny we are goin to be tractin and people will think we are trick or treating. i bet u guys cant guess what i am goin to be for Halloween this year. you will never guess!
i have not gone to the temple this week. we only get to go like 2 times a year. but on Tuesday i will get to. me and elder Egan are going to do baptism for the dead with the youth. because Susan and Jacob are going for the first time. so we wanted to go with them. they are the recent converts that got baptised before i got here. Eric baptism is still on for the 10th so that is way exciting. i am so stoked for that. its gonna be amazing. i cant wait so this week we are going to prep him for that with everything its gonna be sweet.
