mom and dad,
ya it's been a little rough lately but my whole mission has been rough and i've been able to get passed my trials so it all works out. ya i know all i can do is share the message and give ppl their agency. thanx for the advice. i needed that. we have a few good ppl we're working with and really wanting to change and come closer to the savior. it's great so the work is going alright. we all have to go through trials on our mission and i know that, so i'm not worried but i get frustrated sometimes but it's all good. ya the south is growing, there's a lot of good things happening here and its amazing to see all the miracles happening and ppl changing their lives. haha i never expected me to have this kinda success either but i knew if i worked hard and did the things i needed to that the lord would bless me and things would happen and they have and i'm very grateful. i will do my best to have a positive attitude cuz i know it's all up to me. haha the pic (on the front of the new era), she's like a missionary legend haha jk. that's wat we call her. just something silly:) thats sweet that ur gunna be in md, dad. that should be a lot of fun. how long u gunna be there? well it sounds like yall had a great spring break and had a lot of fun with the family and hanging out with other families. sounds like yall enjoyed the park and hiking and all that fun stuff. well if yall keep fasting and praying for opportunities, they will come and u will be blessed for ur hard work. i got to teach gospel principles again and i taught on the church of jesus christ today and it went really well and how the knowledge that we have from the restoration and all the blessings that come from the restoration r wonderful and im very grateful to be in this church. the savior is the best example for all of us and can help us through anything. i bet yall can't wait for shayanna and steven to come. that should be very fun and the shower should be good for u mom, not dad haha jk. this week was pretty crazy. we had 2 huge storms - the 1st, our power was out for about 10 hrs and then on saturday we had a tornado warning and then it was crazy. we were on our bikes and im a faster biker than elder smith, so i waited for him at the entrance of our aprt complex and like 10 seconds later lightning hit about 100 ft from us. it was so freakin loud and it looked cool but it scared the crap outta me and later i was talking to our dl and he said it was a blessing that i stopped cuz i usually dont stop and wait for elder smith in the aprt complex and im very glad i did, the lord was watching over me. then we had a huge hail storm. it was sweet. they were the size of golf balls and a little bigger. well it sounds like yall's week was good and got everything prepared for this upcoming week. how's work going for both of u? well it's good to hear miles & jordan r doing better. they're great kids and they're awesome. they'll figure it out.
thanx for the pics mom. i just found that healing pic in an ensign and stuck it in my pmg, my pmg is way legit. it's sweet and i'll be looking forward to the little package thing in the mail. thanx so much.
well hope yall have a great week. luv yall so much

hey mom and dad,
things r going pretty well for us here in catawba 2nd. i got some news, im training again for the 4th time and he's a visa waiter haha, so i have a pretty good feeling that austin is gunna come here and im gunna train him right before i go home haha jk. that would be way sweet though. ya that video was pretty crazy and they took everything to the extreme and i was laughing a lot cuz they were just saying a bunch of crap. my 2 comps r elder measom and elder smith, elder smiths bro got the video terminated cuz he thought it shouldnt be on there cuz it was way racist and he told us a little about the israelites and how they believe theyre leaders r reincarnated ppl from the bible like paul, the comforter and elijah haha. its some funny stuff but w/e. we have gone back once when i was at a mtg in charlotte and my comps and another missionary went back and they didnt really say much and they got in a little arguement. (ticked) off elder smith but w/e - glad its over. sounds like work is going pretty good for both of yall, keeping yall busy i guess. thats good right? haha jk thats a good point mom. ive never really thought about that but i'll do it from now on. haha thanx for talking about me in rs mom jk. i guess thats a good example of not backing down haha. so u both teach class every week? do yall enjoy it? ive had to teach classes at church a few times and its pretty sweet. ya some stuff happens and its frustrating but it happens and we have to deal with it. this last week was pretty good. we found this sweet girl, we knocked on the door and her sis answered and was a little rude and then we left and we were tracting down the street and they pulled up and said that her daughter wanted to talk to us and she asked if we would go talk to her. we found out that she has some problems and wants to change, we taught about the atonement and about christ and how he can heal us. it was a pretty sweet lesson and we went back and she read everything we left with her and she hadnt done anything since we left so shes changing and wants to change, its pretty sweet how the lord works and prepares ppl. after we left, talking to her sis, she asked who were those men and they told her that it was ppl from the church and she felt that she needed to talk to us. we tauhgt some other lessons and we teaching this fam thats crazy (not literally) but theyre way cool and we're way good friends with them and have been helping them for a while and they came to church it was pretty sweet. ya we talk to ppl a lot on how satan works and how he works - its sad wat he does but it happens but we have christ who can heal us. shayannas been tlaking a lot about going back to moses lake and where ever steven lives to visit yall. im sure she'll really enjoy that. well the work is going pretty well here and the ward is way sweet. i love this ward. well hope u have fun doing ur baby showers in these next few weeks. wow 22 mile trek. im sure the girls will enjoy that hopefully. haha im sure you'll learn soon enough to put music and stuff on the itouch - its pretty easy. thanx for the letter and i'll be sending home a big package today so yall should be getting it later this week or something like that.
well hope yall have a great week and thanx for all the quotes and advice. luv ya a bunch

wow that is pretty weird that shes (miranda) gunna be in hs - things r moving so fast. it seems since ive been out things have happened so much faster than i realized - its crazy. ya it just matters if all we do and we'll be successful and im so greatful for the chance ive gotten to serve the lord - its an experience i'll never forget - we were talking with a member yesterday that im good friends with and he told us that he still thinks about his mission all the time so i know the affect these 2 yrs have on us - its crazy
ya i dont get the jewelry thing but u probably dont get my shoe thing either haha
that will be good when yall get the new car - now yall will be able to drive more comfortably
haha wow mom u got a gun sweet and ur right ur gunna have to learn how do shoot it looks like dad will be able to get more practice to help u learn - i see how u work dad haha jk
ya its hard to teach ppl and u know theyre missing something and we have it and they dont want it but they will eventually find the gospel sooner or later
ya i luv pres thomas - he's great and he's taught me a lot
well things r going good for me here and the work is going aight - its getting a little hard right now but things r gunna pick up soo. elder oaks is coming this friday and that should be a sweet experince

well things r going pretty well for me here and i luv it here
and no i cant believe it - time is going way too fast it seems:(
things r going pretty good for me here - we had a crazy week on tuesday - we ran into black israelites, theyre crazy - theyre racist cuz god hates white ppl - that wat they said - they proved in the bible and all this stuff about how the bible is only for israelites. we were trying to say stuff but they wouldnt let us and we tried to kinda bash and bring up points to make them think but it was pretty lame and as we were walking off they cursed us in hebrew and they said a lot of crazy stuff to us and told us that were gunna get destroyed and related us to the jacob and esua story and all this crazy stuff - i was laughing at them most of the time cuz they wouldnt even give us a chance and telling us we're gunna be slaves and all this crap so our week started crazy and then it got better - we taught some sweet peeps and found a lot of cool ppl to go and teach so things r going pretty good for us here the work is going pretty good.
