Hike to Picket Post 3-31-10

Hey everybody! Well things are good, this morning we just hiked up this huge mountain called Picket Post. It was really crazy-- really steep-- we had to climp up a few cliffs-- it was sweet! Here are some pictures. It's pretty funny they have a mail box on the top people say it takes 6 months for the letter to be sent. But anyways things have been good this week. We have a baptism on the 10th, so that will be good. I just hope I'm still be up here as transfers are next week.

Love Jason

MY NEW ADDRESS

Hey everybody,

Well, everything is good up here. I'm not as busy in Globe but it is alot different than Gillbert. In Gilbert my area had the highest conentration of members in the mission. The stake was about 3 or 4 square miles with like 10 wards in it. So missionary work is alot different than everywhere else. In Globe there are a lot of members, they are just all inactive so alot of the time we are doing reactivation and stuff, but it keeps us busy. I have also tracted some. My new address is: 125 Lane Apt. A, Globe, AZ 85501

Love Jason

Hey everybody,
Well thing have been good this week it rained and snowed this week. We got like 10in of rain in a couple of days then last Friday we woke up to about 6 in of snow. So that made it fun, But Globe is built on really steep hills so im glad our truck is 4x4. But anyways things are going good we hade a baptism last Sunday. It was a 9 year old girl and her 8 year old brother. Their parents were inactive and just started to come back to church as we were teaching their kids so it is really cool to see them become active.
Um... you, Mom, have to talk on Sunday, but i quess just talk about how much it has blessed my life and yours and how much it changes peoples lives. i guess you can figure it out, you know how to talk forever!

im still trying to figure out the area. It's kinda wierd going from a 1 square mile to a big area, but it's fun trying to figure out were i am at, but other than that things are good. Oh yeah i will have a new adress we are moving to a new appartment because the one we are in has a huge water leak. We caught like 10 gallons of water when it rained so that was fun but ill let you know when i know what it is.
Love ya Jason

Lots of rain and SNOW in Globe this week!

Jason's Happy New Year

"We had the privilege of feeding your sons tonight on New Years Eve. They have a special spirit about them, and are clearly enjoying their missions.
Thank you for sharing them with us. We are lucky in that their mission President allows them to eat with the members. I feel that helps in knowing that your sons are getting at least one good meal a day, and in their finances. Our son is in Jacksonville, Florida, and his President does not allow them to eat with members, unless there is an investigator there.

We took the pictures and thought we would share them with you. A mom cannot get too many pictures of their sons as they serve. They are well and happy!"

Karen Rogers,

We just received these pictures and a note from one of the members in his ward. They are so kind and thoughtful in sharing these with us!!

Jason's Letter 12-05-09

I got a new companion, Elder Walser. he is fro the Seattle area and he's been out for about 10 months. We moved to a different apartment that is closer to our area so its a little different but it's been good. Today we had a baptism. It was a kid named Elijah, we have been waiting for a few weeks for him to get baptized. Its really cool, his friend Luish is baptizing him and he is from Mosanbic, Africa. He is really cool, he always goes with us to lessons and bears a powerful testimony. Oh yeah, I can't admit it but it's starting to get cold. It is about 40 degrees outside at night, and 60 degrees during the day.
