Howdy!
So the big question is....have you stopped and said to yourself...."craaaap...my parents were TOTALLY right about everything???!!!"
It's awesome to see how you grow and evolve each week. White Ranger all the way! Power up! ha ha ha
Make sure you send pics of the baptisms...those will rock!
We'll get some tunes your way....what does your companion like?? maybe he needs a little picker upper from home????
It's so funny how your contacts....are gettin' outta prison....have to check with their parole officer....dang "sketchy" is right!!!! Need some pepper spray???? Insense dude?
Hang in there....your service touches more people than you'll ever know.....forget yourself and get back to work!
We love you!!!!

i kind of do. but not about everything hahaha. i am still trying to get more scriptures memorized. i just passed 50. my goal is to have all mission 150 done by the end of the month and then i am going to memorize the chapter headings of each chapter as well as the hymn book before the mish is over. memorization has become a hobby of mine. haha.
so. by bike broke down and it is a 10 year old bike so everything had to be changed out. but the bike shop has assured me that i should not have a problem with the bike in the next 5 years. and all parts are warrantied. so i am all set for the mission. thax for all the support you guys give me. I really thought about it while listening to Elder Hollands Talk on gratitude and how much his family did for him to serve. i will never be able to repay you guys of all of the others who are doing so much for me to be out here. I will send you pics of the baptism as soon as i can!! My comp gets more packages than i do. (well that just won't do now will it??!!! ha ha ha) and he has 4 girls writing him. i only have 2....kind of......but not really. haha We are getting along better. but he still is on the lazy and "the rules are lame" rut. but we are working on that. we also worked out a little plan. he cooks and i clean. i would be cleaning anyways but this way i get some omelets out of it. i have balanced my weight out at 140 and am doing allot of sit ups. the vanilla protein from you and the blender ball grama sent was a life saver. i use it every day. i put in a yogurt, powder and milk and i have a delicious breakfast shake. YAAAAA Budy!!
The mission rocks and conference was awesome. there were some good reprimandations that i needed and some good helps for the family. sorry kylee but you will thank mom and dad later. haha. i had an awesome spiritual experience this week.
It all started with a spiritual thought given in PEC. the man talked about how someone on a plane gave him a band aid witch he considered to be a tender mercy from the lord. i thought that was a little weird... but just the other day i saw that i needed toothpaste a new toothbrush and had a brief thought that i could realy put some rubber bands to good use. Shortly after i received a package in the mail. it was from Grama. when i opened the box i found some breath freshening items along with a small heartfelt note. after reading the note i continued to look through the box and found a tube of toothpaste, a toothbrush and a small package of rubber bands. I did not think much of it at the time but this morning when i was studying it hit me. the package i received was not only a gift from a loving grandmother, but a tender mercy from loving heavenly father. The spirit filled me and I knew immidiatly what the young mens leader in PEC was talking about. The lord knows us individually, he loves us, he knows our needs and our wants, the desires of out hearts, our unspoken crys for help. He will take care of us. Those items, though easily attainable by other means were a reminder to me of gods love. I know that He works through others to preform small but equally as powerful miracles for his children.
I thought about this and was so thankful.
Love you Guys !!
