That is too bad about the missionary that went home. It most likely
was for things that happened before he went on his mission. That
happens a lot more than you think. Tyler thank goodness is getting
baptized for sure this Saturday. I can not tell you how happy and how
thrilled I am about that. Tyler has grown to be one of my closest
friends out here. He is definitely one that I will keep in touch with a
lot after my mission. He is such a cool guy and I am so happy that he is
getting baptized. His mom is still unhappy though but we finally got her
signature to do it.
I do remember that game. (Utah game when ESPN was there) That was a really fun
pre-game. I remember also helping you out with tracking down all the
bootleg merchandise and helping you run the store in the tailgating
parking lot. Those were really fun days. I can not wait to go to another
Utah game. Hopefully they will be really good by the time I get back
and be able to get a ton of good freshman because they are in a better
conference now. I hope A&M wins. I can not believe that Urban went to
the buckeyes though, traitor. Elder Jackson my good friend out here is
from Michigan and a huge Michigan fan so he hates Ohio State ha ha.
I heard that Mitt gave a really good speech to the
Republican convention. People here in Orange County are super super
Republican. They all are behind Mitt a lot. I am not so sure about the
rest of the state of California though ha ha.
Mom,
Sorry that I haven't been sharing much. I have just changed a lot.
Training has let me look at how I have changed. I have stopped counting the days I have left if that
makes sense. I don't like want to come home anymore but I do at the same
time. I have adapted to the mission life and found out what kind of
missionary I am. This is just how I live my life now. It doesn't bug me
anymore that I can't watch T.V. or do things like that. It is just kinda
how it is now. So like stuff that happens that would seem cool to you
guys is just normal to me now. This is how I live my life now. I will
try and write more though.
Jess and me are fine, she wrote me for my birthday
which was nice. You definitely can send her my e-mails I am sure that she
really appreciates it. We are still good to go though as far as I can
tell ha ha which is a really good thing because I still love her :)
Tell the girls that they are doing too much. I did like
one thing and that was band and I even felt like that took up too much
time. I don't know how they are doing like sixteen things at once.
I haven't lost any weight because I have gained it all
back on in muscle .My legs are big now and my g-s ride up all the time
because they won' t stay down because my legs are too big ha ha. My butt
is getting big also. First time in my life I have had a butt. Here is a
funny story for you. We were at the Harri's me Elder Jackson, Elder
Healey and Elder Hoch. We were doing service for him and we decided that
we wanted to do a four person push up. Well I sat down on the couch to
get ready for it and my cargo shorts ripped. Now I mean ripped. I will
send you a picture with the flashdrive. It was really funny. I felt
kinda proud actually because of my rippling muscles ha ha.
I did get the dear elder package thank you. I do need
new flip flops though... mine broke and I like to wear them on P-day
because it is the only day that I get to wear them. My Mission President
is a good man. He holds the keys over this mission and
holds them well.
Me and Elder Healey have been praying really hard for
someone to teach. Tyler is getting baptized this Saturday and so after
that we are going to need more investigators. We are committing the
members to help us with missionary work. To find us someone to teach in
two weeks. It is a really short time but Bishop and President promised
us that it could happen. Two men with Priesthood keys. It is working out
okay. Some families are really offended by us asking them that. We honestly can't do anything without the
members help. No one listens to us, we are treated like salesman and
can't connect with people because of the lifestyle that we have to live.
That is why members need to find us people to teach because they can do
all that and still be in the lessons with us and bear powerful
testimony which means so much more coming from a friend that you love
and respect. That is why you have to help out our missionaries there and
find them someone to teach.
I love you mom, thank you for everything that you do.
Time is flying really fast out here now and I am sure that I will
be home before I know it. I love you so much.
