Dear mom, April 6, 2015
I am happy to inform you
that I had a great week! We did a lot of biking though. It was fun
though. How was work this last week? And yes I did get the package. I loved it!
But it is going to take me a few weeks to eat all of that candy. We went to the
church to watch conference. It was great! I guess President Monson has alzhiemers
and isn't doing too well...... That made me sad when another missionary told me
that. But the Lord will prevail!!! There is a special spirit that comes from
watching conference in a dedicated building. I miss burning ditches. I
smelt a fire the other day when it was super hot and 0% humidity. And I was
like awe man someone is burning a ditch! That's cool that Brandy is taking the
pictures for prom. Are they going to pay her to do it? How was that movie? I
saw a poster for it at Walmart and was pretty bummed lol oh well! As for the
shirts I guess anytime would be nice. We have a mall out here by us so I could
just get them here.
So this week I was
reading in the Old Testament. I read all
of the gospels accounts of the Last Supper up to the Resurrection. Then
yesterday I read it again out of Matthew. I love that verse, He is not here;
for He is risen. It is and was the greatest miracle of all time. The single
greatest act of love that has ever happened and it was performed for me and you
and all of us. I feel really special that He died and rose for me. That I may
live again. It also
makes me think. If he gave his life for
me . What am I willing to give to him? That question has been on my mind all
week. I thought that it was interesting how a lot of general conference was on
marriage and families. Not going to lie.... It made me excited ha ha I hear
missionaries say that they don't want to get married, but to be honest I look
forward to finding someone I want to spend eternity with. Someone that is just
as great as my mom! I love you so much mom!! I hope that you have a great week!
Miss you!!! Love you!! Be safe!

Hey Yall,
Well this last week was a crazy one.
I had the opportunity to help with transfers due to one of the assistants being
sick. I also received the assignment to be a trainer and a district leader. I
am training an Elder Reed. He is from Orem, Utah and is well he is pretty
green. I love serving with him though. He is 6' 2" and I am short so just
imagine the tow of us walking towards you. We have seen a string miracles
involving one of our investigators. First of all he wasn't really progressing
and wasn't really listening at all. He has made a complete 180. He has been to
church two weeks in a row, has excepted a baptismal date for April 25, and
committed to quit drinking and smoking. I have been doing great here and love
this work. It truly is Gods work and he is leading it. Jesus is the Savior and
the Redeemer of the world and He lives. I love him and I love serving him. I
hope you all have a blessed week!
Love Elder Bullinger

I am doing great!! I really enjoyed
my first week. I was nervous to lead district meeting but I enjoyed it and
there was great spirit there. So as district leader I am responsible for
planning and carrying out district meetings for my district which is a total 8
missionaries. So we have a meeting once a week. I also am supposed to go on an
exchange with all of the elders in my district and one exchange with the zone
leaders. I also call my district a few times a week to see how they are doing
and to get numbers so I can report them. My companion is Elder Reed and he is
from Orem Utah. Its okay lol I like questions. Charly is crazy! She said its
never too soon to prepare to come home. I told her that I would write her.
Sounds like Bethany when she bit the dentist in Basins finger. So I don't know
if I told you or not but there is a less active out her that knows Summer
Olsons mom and he told her that I was serving here. I thought that was cool. I
wasn't sure who she was then he showed me a picture and she was holding the
youngest boy. I cant remember what his name is now. Yeah Bethy told me that
Stevie is getting married I think that is cool. I just found out that Kelsey is
going to BYUI in April. I think that will be really good for her! That's cool
about Stephanie and Brandon. They will have their hands full! Right now I have
been reading the Jesus the Christ and found out some really cool things about
the birth of Christ. I am also in Mosiah 15. Im behind but I will catch back
up. I didn't have much time to email this last week. So something exciting I
get to do next month! We were told that Salt Lake approved us to go to the
temple in Raleigh North Carolina. We get to go down and go through a session
then go to the stake center and do some trainings. I am so excited!! I just
need to get a member to loan me a temple packet. I literally jumped with joy
when President Baker said that. Did they send you a picture of me and my new
comp.? If not I will get one to you! So you said you ordered me scriptures
correct? When will they get here? And No need to worry about me getting cold
its all part of the experience. But it does get pretty chilly biking in the
snow. We tried to bike on it last week and it was pretty much ice. My greenie
slipped off his bike on his first day. I felt bad but it was good way to break
him in. Well that's about it for me. I am so great full that Heavenly Father
allowed me to be your son. Its been hard being away this long but I know that
it is all worth it. I love you so much mom! I am excited for you start working,
I really hope you enjoy it as well! Have a blessed week! Love you!!
Jake
