Ya I saw Marshall K. Goodrich at transfers and got a pic with him. The cool thing is, is that I’m his district leader, which is weird, haha, and way cool. I got transferred to Asheboro with Elder Watt. He’s from Canada and he’s way cool; we get along good. Finally everything is moved to our new place in Pasco. Miles has been super busy since he’s graduated. I’m sure he’ll have fun in Utah, though, with the Hansens.
Wow that’s pretty sweet that we’re finally close to a temple. Too bad we don’t get to go out here. What does Aunt Lynda have? She was sick when I was there with Uncle Shane. Sounds like you guys are settling in the ward pretty well and that yall like it there. That’s good.
Well I miss Huntersville. It’s been my favorite. The ward was awesome and I made a bunch of friends there so I was bummed when I got the transfer call. But I’m glad to be here in Asheboro cuz its where I’m supposed to be. My week has been good so far in Asheboro - a lot more peeps to teach than Huntersville and a lot nicer, so I like it here. We talked to one guy for a bit; well kinda bashed with him and he condemned us to hell which was funny. Elder Watt and I were laughing afterward.
I’m glad to finally be in full car, so it’s way nice, especially in the summer time. The ward is nice here. We should be baptizing a few peeps here this transfer, so it’s sweet and I’m way pumped. Well I’ll be sending my camera card home today so it should get there soon :) Well have a good week. luv ya mom

haha Miles is just enjoying life these days it seems like. Yeah he still owes me like 400 or 500 bucks as well so well see what happens. He can just buy me a new iTouch or something sweet like that when I get home :) thats good that yall are getting adjusted to the new ward. Iis it bigger than Moses Lake ward? Oh mom, for the piano do you think you could send me some songs on paper so I can practice? I’ll send a different email for the list of them. It sounds like yall are getting adjusted pretty well to tri-cities and all that jazz. Well hopefully everything with dad’s boss and other stuff goes well. Well my favorite memory of last week was really nothing. We just talked to some interesting ppl and they told us we’re going to hell and we kinda threw down with them; it was pretty fun :) I’m still getting used to Asheboro, since I’ve been in the cities my whole mission, so it’s a little different; but I’ll get used to it in no time. So what’s new in your life these days? Are you gunna start working when school starts up again? Well I hope you have a good week luv ya marsh hey mom do u think u could find these songs for the piano with the notes so I can learn them:
what I’ve done by linkin park
the titanic one by celine deon
and some other sweet ones that you could think of; maybe like 10 other songs or so thanx luv ya

Well my week was alright. It’s going a little slow here right now but we’re working hard to find those who are ready and we’re working with some pretty good investigators right now. My best part of the week was exchanges with an ex-zl and he taught me a lot about how to be a good leader and all that. It’ll help me a lot. The district is pretty sweet right now. We get along great and have a lot of fun. Sounds like things will look pretty different when I get home. haha I’m sure there’s a lot of projects you are working on.
So do yall spend a lot of time with the Hansens these days? I bet yall are glad to be in Pasco and the Lord has surely blessed us. I’m very grateful for what has happened since I’ve been gone. Hey mom, thanx for the little package - that stuff for my arm is working good. So why can you only work 19 hrs a week? Have you tried to find a another job or something? I bet you’ll be glad to be back at work, cuz I know how much you luv helping kids even if they’re trouble sometimes. Haha So how’s the missionary work in Pasco? Is it a lot better than Moses Lake? I’m sure they (Elders Schroeder and Thompson in Pasco) are great missionaries and there is nothing wrong with the Dew, haha. But I have cut back a lot on it on the mission so its all good. Yeah Miles should go teaching with them since he’s really not doing anything and it will help him a lot on his mission and missionaries really do appreciate when members go with them on teams and he’ll become good friends with the elders and it’ll work out great. Does dad like his new job better than working at mlchc? Well it’s pretty crazy that summer is almost over and I bet the girls are not happy. Haha Well I’m enjoying my mission a lot and learning so much.
So mom, do you think you could make me a little binder of piano songs so on p-days or sometime I can practice? I wanna become really good at it cuz it’s so much fun. Um, a couple more songs: one called Boston, one called Hometown Glory, maybe some by Jon Schmidt, Fur Elise. That would be awesome, thanx.
Well hope you have a great week, mom. luv ya

Hey mom. My week was alright. We’re going through a rough time right now; it’s hard to find ppl but I know we’re being tested and I’m working hard. I’ve had a headache for like 6 days now but it’s not a bad one so I’m loading up on Advil haha jk. It seems that the Hansens are over all the time now and it sounds like yall are having a lot of fun.
Sounds like yall are settling in really well in the new ward. haha I’m so glad that I’m not in school anymore and those days were not fun; just a waste of time. haha jk Just boring stuff that had to be done I guess.
That’s crazy that your tooth is falling apart but hopefully you get it fixed soon before it starts causing problems for you. That’s good that Miles finally found himself a job to keep him busy but I’m sure he’s gunna miss Micaiah a lot but I’m sure he’s tough enough to get through it – hopefully. That’s good that he’s good friends with the elders and likes them. Does he go on teams with them a lot? haha I bet yall can’t wait till that day comes. (Shayanna and Steven having a baby.) It’s so weird that yall are already talking about being g-parents haha. Crazy :) So how’re Shay and Steven doing in Idaho? Are you glad that school’s gunna be starting up pretty soon? Aight. Thanx mom. You are awesome and hope you have a great week. I’m doing pretty good here in Asheboro.
luv ya mom

Ya I had a pretty good week; nothing happened even though we worked way hard.
that’s good that you are going to get your tooth fixed. I’m sure it’s been bugging you for a bit. Ya dad told me some of the stories from stake conference. They were pretty cool.
I think I remember them (dad’s cousin Elaine and her husband Elder Brad
Risenmay) but I’m not sure. I’ve forgotten a lot of things since I’ve been out. Sorry haha. That’s sweet that the new mission pres came. I bet he’s awesome. How’s the missionary work going for the elders in your ward? So Cameron finally got to see Josh Nielsen. That’s way sweet. Hope he’s doing good. Ya Miles seems to like his job a lot. Sounds fun and I bet he loves the food he gets from working there (Pita Pit). that’s one thing I do miss, your cooking :) that’s sweet that Steven and Shayanna are coming down for a bit. How arr they doing these days? That’s sweet that you finally are starting your job. I bet your’re excited to help those little kids :) Well a whole lot didn’t happen, but I just found out that the Murrow’s daughter Lindsay is taking the lessons and is doing really good. I’m so happy for the Murrows. They’re an awesome fam.
Looks like you guys had some fun at the zoo and spending time with the Hansens.
Well hope you have a great week mom. luv ya

I wish it was cloudy here in Asheboro. It’s so stinking hot and humid. I cant wait for the fall but I’ll enjoy it while it’s here. haha So the girls are way nervous about school. It’s always like that in new places, so hopefully they get settled in good. Sounds like yall had a good time with the Barclays. It’s so weird to say that, haha. I’m sure it helped Shayanna out a lot. That’s sweet that the elders have a great relationship with Miles. I really haven’t found a family to hang out with a whole lot; just in Huntersville. It was the best. I was pretty good friends with some of the youth going to college so we would chill with them sometimes. It was fun. I just need to get settled in a little bit more and I’ll be good here in Asheboro. So you’re already teaching in Relief Society… so much fun, haha. But I’m sure yall fit in the ward just fine, right? Sounds like the stake down there is getting a lot bigger, so I’m sure it’ll be good for the girls. Ya I’ve really enjoyed the mish and it’s a lot of fun and I’ve learned so much about the gospel. Well Elder Watt is getting transferred. it was a lot of fun with him and I enjoyed it. We had a way good week overall; it was awesome. I bet your mouth is sore but I bet you’re glad you finally have a better tooth and all that, haha. I bet Steven laughs all the time - Miles is one goofy kid, haha, but he’s awesome. Sounds like Cameron is doing way better than me, haha. He got 14 new gators in 3 days; I got 10 all transfer, haha. jk Sounds like he’s doing great as well. Are you glad you are working again? To keep you busy?
Well hopefully you have a great week.
luv ya mom
