01-10-11 To Mom:
Ya I heard about you going to Idaho. Sounds like you had a great time being with Shayanna and Steven. Sounds like they're doing good. That's good that they have a really good relationship.
Well sounds you're doing great in your new calling and having a good time - as long as you're not the prez haha. Sounds like Shay and Steve are doing great as a couple and are very happy together. I'm glad for them. That's sweet that you're having the elders over and that Jordan is coming back. Sounds like yall really enjoy him being there. Well I'll pray for Shayanna and her baby and that all will be ok. How along is it? Well it sounds like things are going pretty good back home and that work and church and all that is going good. So what's been new with yall? I was on lds.org and looking at some stuff. How big is our stake? Well this week was pretty good. We found a few peeps and we worked hard and are working with some less actives and they came to church. I love to see when the atonement works on ppls lives and helps them change and become followers of our savior. My new comp is Elder Fox from Utah and he's way cool. We get along great. He's waiting for his visa to go to Brazil - same as one of my other comps I trained. The ward and area here is sweet. I love serving here. Well thanx for everything you do for me and help me out. Thanx have a great week. luv ya

To Dad:
Wow that's crazy working 7 days in a row. Ya I hate missing the sacrament. I'm learning about it too and know what it means and how it can help us. Ya, that was one of the 1st things I really picked up is you can totally see his influence out here and I didn't really see it back home but w/e (what/ever). Ya and another thing I've realized is, he copies the savior's power and that's how he deceives. That's sweet that you're getting a new iphone 4. I bet you love your job haha jk. Well this week was pretty good- we found a few new ppl to teach. The work is going a little bit slow. We were tracting and we we were talking to this lady and as we were getting ready to leave and she told us that her husband's ex was a Mormon and that she's retarded. It was funny. We started laughing. My new comp is Elder Fox from Utah and he's way cool. We get along really well. He's waiting for his visa to Brazil. Meals, um, we had some way good enchiladas and chicken. There's some good cooks here:) but not like mom's haha. Something I learned from Elder Clayton is how to have the spirit more cuz when we bash or argue the spirit isn't there and how to have charity even if ppl are dumb. He was a really good missionary - fun to serve with. Well sounds like everything is going pretty good back home. Hope you have a great week. Thanx for everything, dad. luv ya
