Subject: I now think 60's is Warm From: Jennifer Booth Date: May 24, 2010 Hi Friends and Family! This week has been such a great week, the sun has been shining all week and it has been so warm. Of course it has not been above 60 but it feels way warmer than that. I think that 60's feel like 70's here as we have not been warming our jackets or anything all week. One thing is for sure when it warms it people get happy and are out and about a whole lot more. And of course FISHING season has begun so people disappear as well. Fishing here is Alaska is the thing to do as the fish are huge and they are great to catch. Dad you will be in heaven when you come up here and fish i can tell you that much, i am already scoping out places for you to go. So we have district meeting every Wednesday morning at the church. Well this Wednesday our district leader Elder Smout calls us and tells us we are doing something different for out district meeting and to...

A letter from Sister Booth: Subject: Adjusting Date: May 17, 2010 Hi Family! So this week was quite the adjustment having 3 of us instead of 2. We went and picked up Sister Yang on Tuesday as I told you last week and headed back to town. When we got back here, we went straight to Sister Coyles house for her greenie dinner. Every time a new missionary comes into the area, Sister Coyle makes them a greenie dinner, which is pretty funny. I remember mine and how she thought I was ridiculous because I did not eat very much. We of course laugh about it now that she knows me better. On the first day you are so overwhelmed that you hardly remember or appreciate it until later - that is for sure. I think your trainers are more entertained by it than anything. Here are some pictures of the Greenie Dinner: Sister Yang: Yummy! (Back to the letter): The next couple of days were good to see Sister Yang at appointment and what not. I have to tell you it is intere...

Here's a look at a few of the Elders in Sister Booth's District: Here they are relaxing: Here's a letter from Sister Booth: Subject: Transfers and Training Date: May 11, 2010 Hi Family and Friends! So I must say it was nice talking to the family this past Sunday! I am glad to hear you are all doing well and to hear your voices is always nice, for sure. So this letter is not going to be very long, as I do need to go soon. I just wanted to write and tell you how everything is going. Every District Meeting before we have transfers we do "Transfer Thomas." That is mission slang, which I am not a big fan of. Anyhow, it is basically guessing where we think everyone is going to be transferred. It was pretty funny, as they all thought Sister Dalton would leave and I would stay and train. Of course I thought they were all crazy on the training part, as I just was trained myself. But that was the whole district's prediction. Not sure I am a ...

This time we're going to start out with Sister Booth's email: Subject: Sick From: Jennifer Booth Date: May 3, 2010 Hi Family! So this week was a really long week, but good. It started out Monday with us having two appointments that night. The first called and cancelled, which we where able to reschedule. The last was with Trevor who we have been visiting for 3 or 4 weeks now. He has a major problem with drinking and has gotten a lot better, but has not shown that he wants to quit completely. Also, every time we visit with him he is always asking us for reasons why he should do this as he thinks he is going to hell anyway. It is pretty hard when an investigator keeps telling you this. We have tried to teach him and talk to him about Heavenly Father's plan and to show him that he is a Child of God. But over time I could see that he was not progressing. Well, on Monday night he told us he was going to meet us and the Elders at the church. He did not sh...
