Response To Family Letter to Derrick:

Jet skiing?? What the?!?! Tubing.....Boating.... LUCKY!! (Napolean—haha!)

Haha! Nancy having to read...she likes to do that!  That’s good. I do remember cram reading a lot.

MEG!!! SWEEEEEETTTTT!! Thats what I am talking about! You didn’t have the best record, but you still won! Heck yeah!!!!

AGI!!!!! (Agathe) Hahaha… Having to sleep on the chair? You are older, so you should have just kicked some serious butt to get a good sleeping place haha. Tubing is the best, and that tube is one of the best I have ever ridden! Loved it!!! I am not a fan on "plays."

DAD. There is a lot that happens in the next few months. I am super happy to hear that your back is not hurting!! Did you get in the water?? Haha!

MOM: Yeah, Conference is like the best thing ever for personal revelation. If you watch it with a question and listen, you will get an answer for sure!!!!! Happend to me and to everyone I talk to. Charity is like the toughest one though. I, for sure, have a lot of improvement there!!!. When you are having a question it is amazing how the Lord opens your eyes and shows you He is already prepared to teach you!! His hand is, for sure, in this work more than we can comprehend.

One thing, will you tell Brinne to study the patience part of PMG.

Goodness, I wrote her, and it might just take a few weeks. When I get a letter, the next P day I write back. Ha!

REGULAR LETTER:

So, I am in the library this time. That means pictures, but horrible writing and shorter letters.

Yesterday was the best. Now that I am covering 2 wards I go to 6 hours of church, plus meetings and all that. Was totally sweet though!!. We got an investigator to church and got a referral from a member. Went over to the referral and now have a lesson set up for Wednesday!!! I am in a rich area in our mission. I am in the slowest zone in the mission, and I am in the slowest area in the zone.... just my luck. So every teaching opportunity is the best!!!! And  I look forward to them every time!!!! We are starting to see great improvement in the ward, and I am getting excited to be here!!!! I know you want pics, so I will send a few. I carry my camera everywhere, but I always forget to take pics. But the sunsets here every night are the best ever! Like no joke… there are no mountains, so it is the entire sky different colors and stuff! Crazy Cool!!!

I type like a half-baked sissy, so this letter will be vague and short. Sorry. I will send the pics on different emails these computers are weird!

PICS:

1-Took that pic this morning starting to cool down!! Feels great. Ha! 

2- Now that the other Elder moved out I can modify my bed to how I want it .

               3 matteresses!! OHHH BABY!!!!

3- This is from the first package!!! Ties and jerky… that is all ya need!! Thank you!!!!!

4-Had to take a selfie with the best tie ever!! Love it! Definitely my favorite tie I have. Thank you!!!
