What a wonderful life!

[Waiting to get his wisdom teeth out 2009]

So here I am again family!

I was shafted the first go around, so I got another chance to do this again. This week has been crazy, we still have no word on where we will live but that hopefully will be decided soon. There is so much work to do in this area that we just need to go to work and we're doing that! I have been reading in The Book of Mormon in Alma, man I could read that book all day if they would let me. It is the only book that I could read over and over again with out ever getting tired of it! There is no greater work in this world than this work and like Ammon in the Book of Mormon, as he said, "Let us glory in the Lord for who can glory too much in the Lord in this great work"! And like the prophet said, "If you have not read the book of Mormon READ IT!" It truly is the word of the Lord. This is just a small time in our lives. The life here on this earth is just speck in the eye of eternal life. There is more to this life than just death, that's just the beginning. I just love this gospel. It's true and I know it's true. And like Elder Holland said, One way or another God will have his voice heard." And we are the mortal angels that have to do that. What a great calling, I love it! Well I got to go, but I will write to you all very soon. Till then God be with you till we talk again.

We got lots going on

[beach 2007]

Well this week has been real hectic. From changing apartments to having an Elder go home early because he did not want to be out here. Wow that's all I can say. We go to 2 sacrament meetings and so that's 8 hours of church for us. That's crazy! Well were trying to change it and were trying to find an apartment that's close for us all. There is 4 elders that need a place to stay and our lease is up at the end of the month and nothing has been done to locate a place to stay. They're still "looking." So the 30Th is going to come around and we're all just going to be with out a home. Anyway it's crazy over here. We got lots going on and it soon will settle down soon I hope. I am sending you a package. I just put it in the mail today and a letter will be on its way explaining in more detail just whats going on in my crazy life. For now I just go with the flow and do what I am told. I have lived a long time by doing that and I think its one of my best qualities. Anyway, I got to go but I will talk to you later.

I love you all and I will talk to you soon

Dear family,

It's the start of a new transfer, "well soon to start" and in a soon to be "new area." But I know where I am going. I am going to be in... well I forgot, but somewhere around Hancock. It's going to be fun, but I just got my feet wet here and now I have to move again. That's the hard part. I liked it here, but oh well. The Lord needs me another way and I am glad to be doing the Lord's work. It's a great time to be out here. Lots that is going on. Lots that we missionary's can use, like Mormon.org and other sites and movies. We have so much to be thankful for. I LOVE THIS GOSPEL, I WANT TO SHOUT IT FROM THE ROOF TOPS! THIS IS THE TRUE AND LIVING GOSPEL! CHRIST LIVES AND HE HAS NOT ABANDONED NOR FORSAKEN US! This gospel is so true and it needs to get down in to the marrow of are bones as Elder Holland put it. This week was great, we had lots of fun. We went to the bounce gym and then we went to play v-ball that was fun. I talked to Elder Garfield for a long time. He will be going home soon and I will not be too far behind him. Well I will talk to you in my next area. When is mother's day? Does anyone know?

I love you all and I hope you have a great week.
