It's Monday...you know what that means????

k - we were able to chat for a bit over several e-mails...so I'll post his one big one then summarize the others.....remember, he answers questions from other e-mails so his replies are all mixed up...I'll try to make sense of them if I can....SO random!

Here we go.....

We said:

Dad is asking: have you learned to fold those oragami shirts? He thinks you should have each companion that you have on your mission sign or write something on the
back of each one...and of course he bawls through it.....

then he replied:

haha. i will do that. with every companion we get matching ties at tjmacs and you sign them. those are what we call missionary thank you cards. you write the note on the back and leave it under you napkin at dinner appts. we have on eevery night so i make alot of them... ya i think that pamaroys jaket will be great so long as it has a hood. it has started to cool off finaly!!

In his main e-mail he writes:

yes!!! have you done the FHE yet. and i am dead serious about the reading!! and you and dad need to be going to the temple at least quarterly!! its just stupid to think its not nessisary. it absolutly is. i will keep sending home leason plans you just have to do it!! tis so important!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.....um....i can look at it but cannot coment on it. i could but that would be disobidiant! funny to hear that from me i know, right! haha well i have changed! obidiance is the 1st law of heaven. i dont know how i could have wanted my life any other way! the sporot is so sweet. i have had so many worries this week about a job and house and all that stuff. but through prayer and study i revived personal rev. that i just need to worry about an eternal family and the lord will provide the rest. thats why we missionaries get married so soon! it the next step to exaltation.
Me and my Iss'enatha(russian for companion) (i think i spelt it right) have been getting along great. living with a companion has propared me to become a good husband and father. we have alot of gospel discores sessions. lots of deep stuff. like this: When egypians are buried, the ones who were considerd worthy of reciving heaven and had been through special cerimonies were burried dressed in white robes with whte sashes and a golden apron. WEIRD Right. well we looked in the scriptures and there is evidence in the old tes. about the gospel existing all civilizations to some degree.MIND BOGGLEINGGG!!!
Anyways, its really hard to get a pix of myself. but as thou wilt, the same shall be done. haha. umm..... Shantel got smacked hardcore with "anti" crap. so dissapointing. i will try more in november. gift cards:SONIC, BURGER KING<> hey you should tell kylee that i am sending her a letter. and hat i think she should serve a mission!! she would love it!! especially tell her that rms have a 40% higher acceptance chance at BYU's.. Just Sayn! well, love you guys. hope to here from you soon.

In a seperate e-mail I asked him when he thought he would be ready for his jacket....

ya Fred Myer is the place out here. (The same as Fry's here) but i get plenty of money for groceries. i will need the jacket witin the month. umm. if they send it to the office i get charged for it to be sent to me. unless it comes by usps. (Regular snail mail ya'll) that goes for all packages. we dont go to tjmaccs really. just for ties. but ya that would be cool. (I asked him if he wanted TJMaxx cards since they seem to buying lost of ties)
