Getting another Visa Waiter...

2-14-11
hey mom and dad,
That's sweet that the stake is splitting. It's the biggest stake I've ever seen haha. Miracles are great. We ask for them all the time cuz we can't do anything with out them. The gospel is full of miracles and the Lord is just waiting for the right time and then he'll give them to us. I didn't worry about my ticket at all. It was about time I got caught - taught me a lesson haha. Thanks so much dad for taking care of it. You're the best. Ya Sis Hugentobler told me about your ticket but I bet you weren't going 30 mph over the speed limit haha, jk. So I can't drive the rest of my mission haha. I'm fine with that. That's sweet that yall went to the temple. I can't wait to go when I get home. Ya Crystal told me about raising $ for that fam. That's a great act of service they did for that fam. I'll keep her in my prayers. Sounds like they went tracting all day - what I do all the time haha. The members here help us out alot with the work. There's some great families here. How's the missionary work going there? How's Miles doing with everything and his papers? Elder Maughan got his visa so he's leaving today and I'm getting another visa waiter so idk what's up with me getting all the visa waiters haha. We had a pretty good week - found some sweet peeps and taught some good lessons. The Stocks are doing good and she's coming a long. They're a great fam. So when are yall getting that car? Looks good - nice choice. When I get home I wanna get a Scion tC - they're sick cars:) Helping people change and accept the gospel is great. Nobody will ever change if they're not invited to do so - something I've learned since I've been out here. A little desire is all it takes most of the time - "through small and simple things are great things brought to past" It's so weird that it's already valentines day. It's crazy man. Mom you're sick every week. That stinks but sounds like you got a schedule you're on to help you get rid of them quick haha. That's good to hear that work is going well for the both of yall. What were the talks with Miles and Jordan about? haha I've always been a speeder. Thanx dad jk How big is the Tri-Cities? That's good that yall are seeing longtime friends in the tri-cities - that's pretty sweet. It sounds like there's a lot of people going to Brasil lately. Brasil is growing so fast and the work is awesome down there. They're ready for the restored gospel and the south is growing faster and faster. Do yall remember when Spencer W Kimball said that there would be a day when the south would have over a million members? I think we're starting to get there - miracles are happening here. Ya I heard Shayanna is having a girl. It's sweet though, I'm fine with that haha. Ya it's weird that it's coming to a close. It feels weird cuz I still feel that I have forever left and I love the mission. I've learned so much. Like I've told you before, my knowledge has grown of the savior and it feels nice to take breaks from the world for a bit. I'll do my best to make these the best months for me. Well I'm glad to hear that all is going well with yall. Hope yall have a great week. Luv ya a bunch.
