You knooooooooooooow...

"Keep moving. Only the Lord can compare crosses, but all crosses are easier to carry when we keep moving. Men finally climbed Mount Everest, not by standing at its base in consuming awe, but by shouldering their packs and by placing one foot in front of another. Feet are made to move forward—not backward!" -Neal A. Maxwell

MMMMMMMHEY people! How has your week been? Mine was great! Elder Buck and I have truly raised our vision.

Life has been tough the past transfer and a half. The Buck has really taught me how to be patient in all things. Why complain about your situation when you can change it by being humble, meek, submissive, and kind ?? I really hope I can get him motivated to do some work. He needs help with some things but he has some great potential. His memory is outstanding. He could really us that to his advantage. What a guy! I love em but sometimes I just want to Spartan kick him. Come what may.

We have been seeing a lot of solid less actives and are witnessing great success. They have born their testimony's to us and almost all of their hold backs are the branch presidency. They just don't really do anything. BUT we heard some shocking and great news this Sunday from our stake president. NEXT WEEK THEY ARE CALLING A NEW BRANCH PRESIDENCEY!! WOO HOO! It is a change that will help this branch truly grow and become a ward someday. We are so pumped!!

I hit my 13 month mark yesterday and I can't even describe how fast my mission is flying by. SOOOO CRAZY!

Well people God is good and so is life. Don't let the things that are going horribly in the world slow you down. Keep moving forward and build your strong foundation on Christ. Helaman 5:12.   You need to start somewhere:) I cant wait to see all of you when I get back. I'm not trunky but I cant wait for dry weather.

Oh yeah the leaves are starting to change and it is so pretty. I would attach pictures but my camera broke and is kinda unfixable:( eh

So I  love you all and please don't hesitate to write back I love all of your emails and letters:)

Love,

Elder Hunter Neus

Bring it on G-VILLE!

“God does not begin by asking us about our ability, but only about our availability, and if we then prove our dependability, he will increase our capability.”
― Neal A. Maxwell

Love that quote!

HELLO HELLOOOOO PEOPLE!!!

Things are still prime here in the Greenville area. We got transfer calls on Saturday and it turns out I'm staying here and I'm still gonna be with Elder Buck!........I was pretty shocked. President Wirthlin must have some good trust in me being with him for another transfer....I dunno. Come what may and LOVE IT! 

We got a call last Tuesday morning from some drunk guy saying he wants to meet with us and it turns out he has been an investigator in the past. So we go all the way out where he lives and we share with him the first experience and it turns out he is super solid. He is going through some really tough trials and he knows that this gospel will bless him. His dad is a member in Puerto Rico and told him to meet with the missionaries. The atonement of Jesus Christ has got him through a lot.

I have seen so many tender mercies here and I know that people here are really prepared for the Gospel. Hopefully by the next few weeks we will find more people and can help them. I'm so stoked.

OH YEAH Elder Jepsen is our district leader which makes me even more excited because that means exchanges with him and sweet sweet Elder Richins. I love that guy. He have a pretty dope district not gonna lie.

Well that's pretty much all I can write about....sorry for the short letter. Next week will be better.....maybe...idk just...yeah idk...

Keep it real and make sure to pray for spiritual experiences this week so you can share them with others:)

Love you all and see ya soon

Love,

Elder Hunter Buck oops I mean Neus

Hey mom! I KNOW dad greeted Uncle Terry at the veil....him and Grandpa Wilson. The Church is true. 

Johhny Lingo is so funny! I always say that line " Mohanna you UGLY!" If Lauryn finds me a wife tell her to find me a twenty cow wife...that's hot haha;) Transfers are coming up quick....pray for me please haha.. So here is a funny story from this week..

So Elder Buck always waits for the last minute to turn on his alarm so he can forget and he would have an excuse for sleeping in haha. So on Sunday night I couldn't sleep and I noticed his alarm off and at that moment a great idea popped in my head. So 15 minutes before we are supposed to wake up I grabbed his alarm and put it right next his his head then when back to bed. So 6:29 hits and his super loud alarm goes off. And he wakes up in a girlish scream and says "HELP ME!!!" and he looks at me with this most panicked look on his face hahahahahaha. SUCKER

That's pretty much my only funny story this week:( But oh well it makes my day thinking about it:) Well I love ya and know that I pray for you and the girls:) The church is true, the book is blue and Elder Buck screams like a girl:)

Love your son,

Elder Hunter Neus

"Is it thanksgiving dinner yet?" - Elder Buck after I woke him up from him studying Lehi's dream.

Sooooo HEYYYYYYYYYYY!......

I am going to start out this email with a scripture:

2nd Corinthians 1:6

"And whether we be afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer: or whether we be comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation."

So this week was good and bad. We currently have no progressing investigators, Elder Buck is slowly killing me, and we have no miles. The good thing about this week was I hit my year mark. IT WAS SWEET! I feel nothing different.....but hey who knows maybe it will hit me in the coming week:)

My hump day consisted of going to district meeting, eating with some blessed Elders at the cult food gathering (otherwise known as the Yellow Deli), and Elder Buck keeping me up all night with his snoring. I think its karma...I have kept up all of my companions with my hibernating snore and now its my turn to be smitten with this trial. Shoot me in the face haha
But don't get me wrong.  I am still loving life out here. The leaves are starting to change (which probably shouldn't happen right now) and Elder Buck just makes me laugh 24/7. He is just so innocent it's awesome. He loves everyone and can just show so much compassion:) IF you don't mind I will relate with you a story from this week.

It was Friday the 22nd and we were at the church weekly planning. For some reason we were both pretty irritated by something. IDK why but we were. So Elder Buck looks at me and says "I am so tired. Can I go get a drink?" So he goes and gets a drink and I just sit in the room annoyed at us not having any success this week and my mind just gets to me. Time goes by and I am wondering where he is and I leave the room. And the first thing I see is Elder Buck sleeping on the floor.....hahahahahaha I laugh so hard! It was just such a pitiful tender mercy from the Lord telling me I need a laugh:)

Well I don't really know what else to talk about. Nothing else really happened but I will leave you with my testimony:) I know this church is true. I know without a shadow of a doubt that Jesus is the Christ and that he lives. I love you all and hope you are all living the Gospel and are reading the scriptures and praying! It will help you sooooo much. "by small and simple things great things are brought to pass"

KEEP IT REAL AND HAVE A SWAGTASTIC WEEK
Love,
Elder Hunter Neus

MMMMMMMMM BYE NOW

FACEBOOK Y'ALL

Soooo yeah pretty self explanatory.... Our mission has Facebook! It is such an awesome tool. This weeks email will have to be a little short due to the Nazi librarians. But I am so happy I am here in New York. The work is truly hastening. It is so cool to see the Lord's hand in everything we do. It's a great blessing:) 

Make sure to add me on FB if you already haven't. :))))

Once again I apologize for the short email :(

Love,

Baptism + 50 people at church= Happy me!

YO YO YO WHADDUP PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD THAT ARE NOT IN GREENVILLE:)

So this week was so legit! We had a blast:) So on Tuesday we went to our investigator Henrietta's house up in the mountains with the senior couple the Jensens. We get there and talk about how she is progressing so much and she was just like, ''I'm ready to be baptized".  And so we ask her when because her date was all the way in October and she was like as soon as you can! Soooooo she came to the conclusion that she wants to be baptized in her personal lake on Saturday. We had to get permission  because we can't go into lakes and stuff and so we call Presidnet Wirthlin right then and there and all he said to Sister Jensen was "no way" haha.  So Henny proceeded to then take the phone and say " President Wirthlin why the heck am I not aloud to get baptized in my lake? I don't want to get baptized in some hole! Didn't John the baptist baptize Jesus outside? Tell me why I can't!" hahaha He started laughing and told us that WE couldn't do it but Elder Jensen can:) So it took a lot of planning and stuff but it happened and it was so special. It has been great to see her come this far:)))) Life is good...

Oh at church we had a record number of 50 people! I couldn't hold in my excitement! Pretty much all of the less actives we teach came to church and it was such great timing because they got to see Henny confirmed a member and they got to  RE-feel what it was like when the were confirmed:)

People this church is true! If you have any doubts just ask Heavenly Father and he will tell you it is true:) 2+2= 4

I love you all and hope you will have a safe and fun week! Coose the right and don't look back once you start plowin:)

Oh and if I have forgotten your birthdays...I AM SORRY! I'M ONLY HUMAN. I CAN'T REMEMBER EVERYTHING:(....;)

So these pictures are of HENNY and I and Brother Kruppenbacher and I:) He is he bee's knees and is 90 years old with a thick south Bronx accent! I LOVE EM.

oh and the view from the church

"Sorry it took me so long but I had something in my pants and it hurt......"- Elder Buck the missionary after he was in the bathroom for twenty minutes.

So yeah I'm back in sweet sweet Greenville...and the mission wide famous Elder Buck is my companion. He just got back from Utah from having to go home six months ago. I guess President Wirthlin trusts me quite a bit....who knew????? haha jk

HE IS SO ODD IT MAKES MY LIFE COMPLETE! Not in a gay way but you know what I mean. There is never a dull moment. He is obsessed with our air conditioner. He messes with it 24/7. He sleeps every five minutes. EVEN IF HE IS TALKING TO ME! OR SINGING! It's so weird. But I love it. I'm gonna love em no matter what. I'm glad I have learned that on my mission. It doesn't matter if someone is rude, weird, creepy. We should love them because they are our brothers and sisters. Bless em, praise em, love em for days em

This week was pretty uneventful besides him coming. I was sick all weekend and took about a billion naps. Sleeping cures all sicknesses.

Sorry this email is really short but the socialist librarians are kicking me off in about ten minutes so I love you all and hope you have a good week full of adventures.

Love,

Elder Neus

mmmmmm bye now
