You guys need to pray for me, my companion is being transferred and my new companion is known to be very disobedient. This is probably going to be a really hard 6 weeks, but at least I"M DRIVING!!! I haven't driven a car for 6 MONTHS!!! I'll be back in the saddle this Wednesday! I can't wait, but I also can wait. I had a lot of fun with Elder Richards, but I'll live!
I wish I was an elder in NH, you guys feed them way better than anyone out here! I miss your cooking! That's good stuff! Are you guys doing prime rib for Easter? If you are, you should find a way to send some...
I think you guys did a really good job on the painting! I'm a little scared to ask, but how does my/Ellie's room look? Is it really girly? I know she got some girly stuff, but where am I going to live after my mission? At least you guys have a year and a half to think about it!
Questions of the Week:
1. Do your transfers happen this week?
2. What do you do when you feel overwhelmed? We are so proud of your for your awesome attitude.
3. Are you taking good care of your teeth and flossing regularly? Sorry, 'mom' question.
4. Would it be OK with you if we gave you a $50 'allowance' for the month? Once it's gone, it's gone? We want you to still enjoy Taco Bell, etc., but $50 a week is really killing the budget! Let us know what you think.
5. How are your clothes holding up? Shoes? Bike?
6. What do you think the biggest blessing serving a mission has been in your life so far?
7. Have you read your patriarchal blessing lately? I wonder if you see any of those promised blessings in your life?
OK, answers:
1) Yes, but I'm staying here in Brighton
2) I just think about bikes and kind of suck it up. It's hard sometimes, but it's the Lords work. It needs to get done.
3) Haha, yes
4) Could you do $100 for the month? I'll try to cut back and if I use less for the month, you can give less for the month. I'm sorry I'm such a spender, I'll try as hard as I can to cut back./
5) My clothes have seen better days, especially my ties! Those aren't the best but they work. My bike might need a new fork... Just kidding it's in tip top shape. My shoes are good, too.
6) I would say the biggest blessing is being able to focus 100% of the time on the gospel. It's really cool how much I've learned so far!
7) I have seen that I am serving a full time mission! That's it so far, I'm still working on getting the other blessings.
Thanks so much for all you guys do for me, I can't even explain how much it means to me. I love you guys so much!
Ellie: Hi Ellie! I got a cool story for you! The other day I found a dog that is so small, I could put him in my pocket! His name is Bob, and he is a Yorkie! He's even smaller than the one in PA, and he loves to be held! I wanted to steal him and bring him home with me, but that would have been wrong. Plus it costs too much to have a dog. That's the story, pretty lame right? So how is life outside of school? Do you hang out with your friends at all? Love ya!
Isabel: I heard that movie was weird, he kills the monster like a bunch of times right? It would probably go right over my head. That is so cool that you got all those harry potter books! You need to send a picture or else I won't believe you though ;) Have you read them lately? I miss reading about stuff that isn't about the gospel. It's still cool though. How's Captain Underpants look? I can't WAIT to see that one. Oh well, thanks for the email! Love you!
