01-17-11 To Mom:
Well that sounds pretty tiring haha. I've been tired forever soI can feel yall's pain. Well those elders are lucky to be serving in our ward. You're the best cook ever:) I love those garlic breadsticks too. So Scarlett is just selling your food at school. Looks like you found another job haha. Well that's good that he arrived safely back in Pasco. So he was on the flight w/ Leah's baby and its new parents? That's pretty cool. Well that's good that Shayanna and the baby are doing a lot better. It's close to finding out if it's a boy or girl. I'll be praying it's a boy. That would be sweet. So she's taking Steven's job calling ppl? I guess that's better for her than working at the UPS store and working harder. Well Elder Fox got his visa to Brazil last week and now I'm with another visa waiter, the missionary I trained Elder Maughan. It's weird but it's aight haha. Haha dad has like a million guns now. He should find a better hobby haha. jk. That's a good one to have since the times are getting worse and worse. They're good protection haha. What's Steven's book about? One he wrote? Well that's good that yall get a day to chill and be a family and no one is working. I bet that's nice. Well on Monday we didn't do anything so we were bored outta our minds so we just chilled. It stunk way bad. Dad is always getting a new phone it seems like. So his old phone is just an itouch now. That's cool. Does Miles still have the one I sold to him? Well this week was pretty good. We found some sweet ppl and had good lessons with them. We have this family we're teaching - the dad is less active and his wife and 2 kids aren't members and they've been coming, so we have high hopes for them. Things are going pretty well here for us cant complain working hard so well see wat happens
well thanx for everything mom. Luv ya- have a great week

To Dad:
Well it sounds like work is going crazy and that you're working crazy hrs. What were yall working on? Ya sacrament mtg is the most important mtg and I luv taking the sacrament - helps me a lot. That's a pretty good thing to talk about with members and others have been talking about missionary work as well. It's a really important thing and members are the best way for missionary work. Have yall had any experiences with non-members lately? What book is it called you are reading? I've wanted to read a Miracle of Forgiveness but i just haven't had time. maybe when I get home. Ya something that reminds me of what you said, about you being mushy, Joseph Smith said about teaching the ppl of the church. I just teach true doctrine and principles and I let them govern themselves but you taught us well. Thanx for everything dad. You're the best. I've been reading Jesus the Christ lately and I luv learing about Christ and his teachings and especially about the atonement - best thing that could've ever happened to man kind. Ya I hate wearing my coat cuz it's cold but at the same time it's humid so it doesn't help too much haha. Well Elder Fox got his visa and my new comp is the missionary I trained in Asheboro - Elder Maughan. It's kinda weird but I enjoy serving with him. He's a great missionary - teaches me a lot about relying on the spirit and being humble. He's a great guy. So does Miles still go out with the missionaries a lot? Has he started his papers yet? Sounds like Shay is doing a lot better now. Hopefully everything goes well with them. I hope it's a boy sooo bad - I'll teach him to be a sports superstar like me haha jk. Well I haven't seen pres for a while but we have interviews this week which is sweet. We haven't had them forever so I'm excited for that. Well things are going good here. Thanx for everything you've helped me out with, dad. luv ya
