The one year mark......Maybe we'll go to Five Guys!

Mondays.......how I look forward to that first line of every email! And this week he officially hits his ONE YEAR mark!  It doesn't surprise me that he might celebrate it going to Five Guys.


Hi Mom!

I'm here. I've got about an hour and 15 min left so I have plenty of time if you wanted to ask me anything......I'm on earlier because we decided not to do our laundry this morning. So that saved us some time :)

Yeah the weather is a little gloomy this week but it's supposed to clear up. We have a car, by the way. And our area is tiny! It's nice, but I prefer walking areas because you can talk to way more people. So even on a bad day for appointments you can still teach lessons to new people you meet. There's always something to do.

 

American Heritaaaaaaaage! Nice. I think the key to that class is to read that big fat book. I didn't read it as much as I should have, and I noticed that a lot of the test questions (especially the final) came from the book. So that's the key. I guess that's the key with any class.... and dad has been telling me that for years.

Haha, I envy you going to class. I don't remember if I've told you a hundred times, but the one thing I miss most (besides people) is school. I have lots of good memories of going to class and what not, even though at the time I didn't enjoy going that much. That's usually how school goes. Also, I have to thank you and dad for all the help you gave me in my classes, especially Book of Mormon.

 

As for the one year mark, I probably won't do anything to be honest. Maybe we'll go to Five Guys or something. Finally, there is one in our area. It's in a small corner of Vauxhall which happens to be in our area. :)

 

Wow, Shelby in college... I can't believe she is old enough but still, that is awesome for her!

 

Nice mission calls. Is Meg planning on coming back?

 

I'm good on toiletries but if you can find it (cause I can't anymore) would you send me a bottle of Old Spice KOMODO (it's purple) body wash. Or if they have Komodo soap bars that works too. I still have plenty of face wash, actually. I could also use a chocolate bar, but not 70% because I eat that slower and I still have like 3 bars. Maybe just a bag of dove dark chocolate square things, those are good. Other than that, I don't need anything! Thank you!

Ok I'm back. I really do love you, I just got caught up reading everyones emails :) I had 17 new messages this week! That was unexpected... I kinda got lost trying to track them all. Problems a missionary has to deal with... tracking emails...

Alright I have to close up, so sorry! I didn't even write to you about anything, so I will write a hand letter home. I promise :) Even if it is short, you should get it by Thursday at the latest. Have a great week!

 

I love you all!

Hi Dad!

 

I really like that parable you shared. I always interpreted it in a way that pertains to the laborers as those that accept the Gospel and live it, but I like the explanation Elder Holland gave. I love that the apostles can give such in depth analogies on such few verses. There are missionaries I know that are good at that, especially President Jeppson. I admire that.

 

One year already... you are right that it has been very fast. And yes, I have a lot to learn.

 

Indie calming down? I don't know if that is good news or bad news. I always loved seeing her fly down the hill at 20 mph and nearly collide with the dumpster or the car, and all that while spraying dirt everywhere.

I love you!
