CRAZY!!!!!!!!

AND CRAZIER!!

And Gene and I were among the throngs!!





Its standstill traffic.
Its people parking ANYWHERE.
Its thousands walking alongside the road cause its much faster than driving.
Its neighbors charging up to $50 for prime parking along the roadway.
Its hundred of pro photographers with telephoto lens.
Its the mist in the air - not from rain but from the waves.
Its people of all ages and all in a really good mood -
Appreciating the beauty, power and AWESOMENESS
Of the winter swell of 2009!

Lucky we live Hawaii!

Jacob's Continuing Randomness

So i told my last companion to write Sue because he said she was cute (got my family pic up you sent me.) ^-^ i think he did a while ago. and we joked about her writing him before me lol.

Dad is awesome. So are you Jenny. SO is aunty.

CHRISTMAS is exciting.

IT WAS -7 degrees today and i was outside without a jacket on in basketball shorts and a shirt because it was hot in the gym. acclimation is miraculous.

THe BRadys mailed me today. twas randomly awesome. aske them where in Oregon they live because our mission covers part of it.

Got another Baptism for team Awesome (thats us, as in all who want eternal life)

I was thinking about Michelle somewhere in between what salsa i should buy and World of Warcraft, so tell her i said HI. Kawai too, i guess =]

THats all for now, you Stay CLassy!

Love, me ( Jake )

Jacob - December Greetings

we got transfer calls and i was supposed to stay in Jerome, but on Saturday night President Yardley called me and said i was going to Boise, so i leave there tomorrow. you can mail stuff to me at 1111 south cole Road, Boise, Idaho. 83709.

im excited, mostly because it is 10 degrees warmer there on average. its a car share, so half-bike-half-car. but my last companion let me "borrow" his bike for as long as i need one. he will be in a car area for the rest of his mission, so it all worked out good. elder naylor is awesome like that.

i was thinking the other day about being left handed. altho im not really a lefty, because i do just as many things with my right hand, but im not abidextrous either because i cant do things with both hands. so weird.

so i get christmas stuff? AWESOME!

oh yeah, my next companion i THINK will be elder owen. this other elder in my district served with him and apparently has terrets syndrome. sounds like funnn!! =D

peace out, and smile at someone random today. we do it all the time and you will be surprised at their reaction.

love ya,

Jaob's Thanksgiving Greeting

HHHHHHAAAAAPPPPPYYYYYTTTTHHHHAAAANNNNKKKKKSSSGGGIIIVVVIIINNNNGGGGGG!!!!!!!! aka merry turkey day.

so the work here is going good. lots of baptisms coming up in December (because its Christmas maybe?)

we left a pamphlet on the restoration with a potential investigator. and when we came back he actually read it. Blew my mind.

a cool thing i have realized is (and its not steryotpyping, just based on my experience) that every person we have met who speaks spanish believes in Jesus. its fact. the hard part is getting them to come to our church because they all also belive in tradition, doing things just because their parents did it that way. on the other hand white people as a rule are more rebellious and find great joy in doing things differently from their parents! but white pepole also belive in being unique, and because there are so many mormons in Idaho they tend to shy away sometimes. that and we dont offer as many shiny trinkets to decorate our house with like zen gardens or bhuddists shrines. unless you are from sons of provo, in which case "Mormons can be bhuddusts too!"

I say 'Less-Activessss' with a serpent like hiss at the end. sometimes its just like "GO TO CHURCHHHHHHHHHHHH!!" and they are like "But i have watch TV"

and i love how when we give Book of mormon reading commitments we walk in on them watchin football and are like "Oh, we were working and i had to mow my lawn 3 days ago so i didnt have time to read 17 words which make up the 2 versus shich we said we would read so you would leave our house faster.

im just venting, everything is going great here tho =]

give everyone my love!

love yas, jake

p.p.s. Im not crazy, im just a LITTLE unwell -Matchbox 20, unwell

Jacob - Mid November

heya, so down to business:

My comps name is Elder Jordan Naylor. he is pretty cool/crazy. not sure what to say tho...

we have a lot of investigators at the moment tho. and a baptism planned every week for the next 3 weeks (another we need to set a date for somewhere in there)

everyone in jerome is nuts. nothing changes there.

everyone is getting sick here with the flu. its redonkyulous.

im not really sure what to say, im not that exciting a person.
Oh wait! i was a pirate for halloween and my comp was richard simmons. the other 2 elders we live with went as flavor flav and our zone leader. ill send pics laters =]

i think i am sick because i have a fever and feel dizzy.

love you guys, take care, and thanks for everything!

elder wright
