January 31, 2012

Tonight we might be hearing from the Prophet!! How cool is that!  I'm way stoked!!  It sounds like Carl and Luke are staying busy. I'm glad to hear the fitness center is going good.  I want to thank you and the family.  I'm so grateful for you and for raising me in this gospel I couldn't have chosen better parents to help me through this life! I want to share with you my testimony. I know this church is true and I know that Joseph Smith was called of God to restore His gospel on the earth and I know the work I am doing is not the work of man but the work of the Lord! I know that Jesus is the Christ and he suffered for ME and YOU and he knows what you are going through and he is with you every step of the way. Even if we sometimes sit on the side. I know the scriptures are the words of God, and that they are meant for us in this time in this dispensation and we are to bring the world to that understanding!   I would not know all this if you did not teach me and if you did not lead by your example! You are my heroes.  I will be forever grateful for that! This is my testimony and these are the a few of the things that I know and am totally grateful for! I will always thank my God for that knowledge and for my family!  I think you'll be happy to know I finished the Book of Mormon last week!!! Just thought I'd throw that in there.  I love you!! Give dad and the boys a hug for me!

hey mom!! how ya doing sorry i didn't write a ton last week we messed up on our time managment and didn't have a lot of time to write letters so my bad. I'm sorry. Things here are going good but they are tough I wont lie! I'm glad the boys are doing well and having a good time. Spanish is coming slowly but surely I guess haha. We had 2 guys from our district go to Guatamala today. That was sad cuz we have gotten so close. They are going to the Guatamala MTC so that shoud be way cool! I can't believe how fast time flys here I only have 3 weeks left in the MTC!!!! I'm so pumped but i'm going to be way sad to leave beacause that means the trio will be broken up! That will be a sad sad day, but we weren't called to serve in the MTC so I better get with it! I just wish I had a better handle on this language before I leave but oh well I must need to learn something from all of this, right? I better get going, I HATE the time limit on these computers!! I always feel rushed with it, but I love you all and tell the boys I say hi and I love them tons and let dad know I love him.  I know all will work out as long as we try our best and keep God in our lives!

I haven't gotten nana and papa's package yet but i hope to soon and i will write them for sure! man the time flys huh! can you believe i've been here for a month! i miss you a ton dad! I hope Carl is driving safe!haha!!  Man I'm going to miss this place so much when I leave I can't believe I only have another month here with my awesome comps. They are so cool they both play ball and they have helped my shot so much that now I'm pretty leathal on the arc as well as at post! It's been a great experience and they are such good examples to me and  I am going to miss them so much when I leave! I wrote Danny a letter last week so if you could call him and just see if he go it cuz I haven't recived anything back so  I wonder if he got it.

Hey mom!! Love ya tons! Well this week has been going good I'm so glad to hear that the fitness center is going so well!! Thank you so much for the box of my stuff I am so excited!!ha!  Can you congratulate Carl for me and also Luke on his talk and Carl on his wrestling!  Let them both know including Ronnie that the tie they picked out for me is now my favorite, I love it!!  My P-Day is on Tuesdays. If you can pass the word along and I should be leaving here on the 13 or 14 of Febuary which is crazy to think about because a month has gone by so fast and I still have tons of Spanish and things to learn so we'll see what happens! I miss you guys so much, I pray for you every night! the time here flys!  There is a saying that the days feel like weeks and the weeks feel like days and I testify that is so true it is crazy to think it was a month ago that you dropped me off and how hard that was. My time here I think has helped me grow in ways that are unseen to me at this time.... so how's everything going with sports, how is the basketball team doing? I really hope that having Christine work for you will help you out cuz I knew you would be having a hard time with that! How has getting the kids everywhere they need to be going for you?  It must be nice having Carl be able to drive a little. That still blows my mind!! how was his trip back from Salt Lake did he have any problems on the road or anything? Has it even snowed up there yet!! We haven't gotten JACK!! I'm so bummbed!!HAHA!!  Oh, can you tell Carl thanks and I will send him my ipod as soon as i can and if he could get those songs for me I would really appreciate it. Well I've got to go I love you sooooooo much mom!!
