son capos

well i am glad to hear that your sunday was such a great day for you! it was a pretty good day for me as well. i gave a talk in church again because it was mission sunday. but i am positive it was not as good as the lindahls talks and stuff. they are so amazing and such capos it is so great! i am so glad you finallly got to meet them and get to know them a little more and feel the powerful spirit that they carry with them in the words that they share. i cant wait to see them when i get home. and dont forget to stay in contact with them and have them come to the homecoming because bishop rasmussen is planning on it. he emailed me again. and it will be really good for all the young men in the ward i think to hear his words and stuff and get excited to serve a mission. that is really cool you talked to hopkins parents i am living with him after the mish and from moncurs parents he is great! i had a reallygood time with both of them and learned alot and saw some reallygood miracles with them both.and the hermana deem you saw, i started the mish with her so that is cool im sure several people there i would have known im sure that was alot of fun for everyone. the miracles thathappen on the mission are so incredible it is so great! and has helped me to realize the miracles that happended to me before the mission as well.

this week was good. it went by super fast! it was crazy! but the highlight of the week was for sure celebrating roberts birthday which was on friday. i made him breakfast in bed. we had a killer lunch with one of our investigators and met up with elder davis and his comp and had a dinner with some members and ate cake and celebrated there. it was really good. and interesting because the daughter of this family served a msh in LA, Cal. so she speaks perfect english and is going to provo on aug. 14 to study at byu and so we told her a little about utah and the byu scene and what there is to do. that was fun. it is crazy there are several people going to byu this next year from down here. haha and even more looking into trying to go asap. but that day was super fun. i got roberts a big book on mendoza he has been meaning to buy but we never have had time so i bought it for him one day when i was on divisions. i pulled a dad... when he had it in his hands about to open it, clearly being a book, i told him it was a basketball.... haha just like dad always does with gifts like that.

the rest of the week was pretty good. a little tough to handle because like all of our investigators fell. and ruth did not make it back from chile because the pass is filled with snow anbd the bus cant make it through. and just everything bad with our investigators that possibly could have happened, happened. so we have to go back and work hard this week and try to get them back on the right track this week. thats just what we do as missionaried and what we have to do in life. when the going gets tough, just got to get going! when we fall just get back up again and try harder the next time.

im glad that things are going well for everyone. things look to be getting way fun. little malachi looks like a champ with his blonde hair... but then again who is not a totall boss with blonde hair... haha im glad to hear everyone is getting pretty excited for me to be coming home. i am getting really excited as well. i cant wait to hear what the plans are that the family has and what is waiting for me. i am way scared but as i have learned on the mission, change always is good. if you take it with the right mind set. i would love to hear some of the plans and things that the family has and stuff. put my two cents worth in. even though i will be totally happy with whatever!! haha

but i got to go. i love you all and miss you all and am so thankful to have such a great and awesome family that is so supportive and understanding of the gospel and a help to me to grow and be a better person.

con amor
