Hey!! How are things going? how is the family? and has steven and juston gotten themselves a job yet? i hope that they do soon. how is work? how is the sports world? it sounds like things arent looking so good for our teams, but oh well. i am thousands a miles away and i cant even watch the games, so i am not to bummed. i did receive you package and thanks for the Reeses and the Pictures and the pillow case. i am not going to lie, i was looking forward to getting a lot more pictures than just the few that you sent me. but the next time that you send some pictures, try and send a bunch of up to date ones too. because i havent seen your faces in forever. and i am also waiting for the pictures from the weddings, i was really looking forward to them. but no problem, just try and get them to me the next time. start thinking about christmas and my birthday....they are both coming up right around the corner. but things have been going really well for me and i dont really have any complaints....except for the heat here.....still. it is so blazing hot here and it never cools down. but other than that things have been going pretty well, my companion have been working quite a bit and things have been going pretty well. we still dont have any baptisms marked or anything like that. but the teaching is looking promising. we have still been teaching the lady that cried during the first lesson with her, Sonia, and she is just awesome. we taught her about the book of mormon and she was excited to get that and start reading. but she wasnt able to make it to church, and i cannot remember why. but i am not to worried, because she already believes that Joseph Smith is a Prphet. so we are just waiting to go back and hopefully be able to mark her baptism soon. but we will have to see what happens. but yesterday we starting teaching an old investigator again and he was telling us how he has the desire to be baptized, but he still needs to go to church a few times and get to know the doctrine a little bit more. but things are going well and things are starting to look a little more promising. and today i got a letter from Zech and that was a bit unexpected but it was good to hear from him and it sounds like he is doing pretty well, he talked to me a lot about juston has been struggling. but dont tell anybody that i told you this. and we also had Zone Conference on Monday and it was good to be able to some words from the President and the Assistants and to get some training from them and also the Zone leaders. and yesterday we met another great young man that we started teaching and we had another good lesson with him and i hope that we can just start getting things going on the baptisms part of the mission. but nothing much to complain about this time. but yeah i am trying to think of things to write about, but nothing is coming to my head. but the work is good and i am sorry that this letter isnt very long, but i dont have a lot of time left. i also have to go get my haircut today. oh, but i wanted to tell you that i know that it might be hard for yo because you are supporting the two boys. but i dont know if it would be the greatest idea to kick them out. especially with the way that Juston has been feeling lately. i dont think that he would be to happy about that. but just encourage him to get a job and try and give him some love. he is struggling and he is just having a hard time, because he doesnt understand life yet. but just give him some love. and i am going to try and write him today, because it has been a while since i have written him. but i love you and i hope that all is well and if it isnt, i hope that it gets better. but i love you guys and i miss you. but i well be sending you another letter next week. and you better start enjoying them, because you are only going to getting about 75 more. but i love you and ill talk to you next week. give loves to everyone for me and tell everyone that i love them. and well that is about it...
