Hey!!

I bet Jeremy and Ali are having such a good time in Hawaii! You better tell them they are taking me back there! I guess Brother Barrand talks about me all the time at church. haha! I just talked to a member up there and they said he brings up stories about me all the time! haha! I love that guy!

I have decided that this area is not so bad anymore! The older people we work with are actually really cool!I figured out how we can relate to them! it was kinda hard. History works like a champ! I did get the package from the Grandparents and I love the socks! Lets just say the candy they sent me and you sent me is gone.... and it's not because of me! We are working with the Gseringer family a couple time a week. I love that family so much.They are so funny! For FHE we went and played botchy ball with Bishop, the Sargents and the Geringers. That was awesome! We are going to start doing that with less-actives each week with Bishop!

I think I just finally got my feet planted here! It was so nice. We had pretty much half our ward come up to us and say we have been the best missionaries they have had in 3 years.... no pressure!

Wel, I love you all so much. Thank you for all you do! Have a fantastic week!

Jello!!!

Well, this week is awesome! It was so fun getting to visit with Grandma and Grandpa Green!... They are so awesome! I was sitting there quoting scriptures and Grandpa totally knew them! Agh haha! Just when I felt smart for one second!! haha! they are such an amazing couple, grandparents and role models to us...

That's so retarded 4 dogs!(Our family is taking care of 4 dogs for 10 days, while Jeremy and Ali go to Hawaii) I would have a blast! I love dogs!... The ones that I don't have to knock out! I bet Brielle is having a hay day with that!

The people we are teaching... Lacy,Tad, Sunnie,Tayla, the Minor family, the Geringer family,the Black family, Trisha, the Barney family..... there are more. I just can't think of their names...

We went and had a family home evening with Bishop and the Geringer family and played games and stuff. The Bishop put me on the spot and asked how the game we played (botchy ball) related to the gospel... yeahhhh! So I just started going off on stuff and next thing I know...Sister Geringer and Bishop's wife start crying!... hahaha it was funny!

Anyways, things are going great. Thank you so much for the package! Give gg and gg a bug hug for me! I love you so much!

Hey!!

This week we actually reactivated 3 people! It was awesome! We are going to teach them every week now! woohoo! Its actually been raining!I'm so glad Brielle is in school now huh? I still remember the good old days! haha. Tell her to give Brother Chatwin a hard time for me! So, John Black told me to call him. I will be talking to him about some referrals I have for him! It should be pretty exciting to talk to him again! We have the coolest spot in our area. It's just full of orchards and fruit for miles! i love it! Sorry this letter is so short! I love you all so much!

Hola!!
Now we can all be in the company together (Jeremy is working the family business full time now)! I'm there in spirit, Dad. I was just waiting for Jer to get his butt in gear!...

A door huh? Wow, I hope that's what she (Brielle) really wanted for her birthday?... I don't even know what to say to that one! Congrats on the door Brielle! I can't wait to see it! hahaha

Anyways, this week was pretty slow. We talked to Lacy(an investigator moving towards baptism soon) and we were just talking to her at the door and a drunk guy came up and tried to sell us a chainsaw..... shows what kinda area I'm in.... anyways! He started asking us questions about what we thought about different things in the Bible and he started to kinda drill us sooooo.... my hard head came out and started lighting him up... with doctrine from the Bible. Then he brought up the Book of Mormon and started bashing on it....The whole time Lacy was sitting there listening! By this time my comp was stunned that I had doctrine to answer his questions with... and frankly so was I. I bore testimony about the Book of Mormon and he told me he would never read it. So I told him.... okay answer me this... If Moses came up to you and told you the Book or Mormon was true, would you read it? He said of course he would because he was a prophet!.... yeahhhh he set himself up big time! Long story short... in the end he took a Book of Mormon, a Restoration dvd and we have an appoinmentt with him on Friday! hahaha that was pretty sweet! Lacy even got to share a little testimony and she told us she knew the church was true! yeahhhh!!!

Thank you for the quotes. I needed them! I love you all so much.

Holaaa!

Well..... there are 5 people on date now.... haha

3 are on Aug 6th and the other two are starting to get a little complicated! So, we moved them around but they are still planning on getting baptized! I ripped my pants.... again so that could just be my b-day present. I can just go get a pair at Wal-mart :) Whatever you prefer. I love section 84... section 108 is a good one too. I love the verses that talk about how we should pray for and all our actions need to be accountable... Our new mission president is awesome! We had a meeting with him and he came up to me after and told me to call him for some weird reason. I was like crap. He's going to be mad at me... But when I called him, he was like... I love how you teach and how you are changing your whole Ward around. I want you to report to me every week on the phone and help me change things in the mission.... I was like whaaaat? haha! So I talk to him once a week now! Pretty cool! He's a stud. Anyways, we have been working with a lot of new people. It's just a pain to get them to church. People around here stink at coming to church!! Anyways, things are going great. I love you all so much! Have a great week!

hola!

Well this week was a good week. We have been super busy moving a lot of people and also teaching a lot of people! We ran into this lady a while ago and she is actually a less-active and has not let the missionaries talk to her since like the 1980's. She said for some reason she should shut the door on us but she let us in to teach her a little.. She is super busy and we have not been able to get a hold of her till two nights ago... She called us at like 11pm and I talked to her till around one! We talked all about the gospel and she had so many questions that I was like oh crap idk how to answer that! But somehow I did.. The Spirit works in amazing ways. It flowed and came out perfect! My comp fell asleep while I was on the phone with her so it was all up to me haha. So anyways that was the story of the week! I haven't put a lot of thought into after my mission, military or try to get into football again. idk well anyways I love all of you so much. Hope your week is amazing!

Love ELder Naylor

Well this week was awesome!

We have set 2 people.... from other Wards with a baptism date! agh! We went and taught them for the first lesson, set another time for the missionaries in their area to teach them and we set them with a date! sheesh this blows! Because it doesn't count for us! haha the pres probably thinks we are slacking hardcore! Well anyways, both of us are staying in the same area... this will be the first comp that I have had for.... a transfer and a half. haha! Wow the pres must think people hate me or something. That's so cool that JME, LLC is picking upp! I can't wait to see the outcome. I hope and pray everything stays moving and keeps progressing!.... Sooo, yeah my talk was good. We had a lot more people show up for our meeting and we are getting a ton of referrals from the ward! It's about time! Wel,l I love you all. Sorry this is so short. I didn't have a lot of time! love you all so much!
