Hey family!!!!!!


Well first off - thanks to you all for your emails!!!   I would love to write you all an individual emails back but I just don't have time, sorry!!!!  But it's fine because it won't be anything too different than what I write to mom because this is for the family!!!  Yes the area is really progressing  - we had some new people in church this week and I believe our 2 baptisms are ready now.   They will be baptized this Saturday - it got announced yesterday in Church so I'm excited about that.  It's been a little while since my last baptism so I'm ready! :)  Transfers are also in 1 week and it's crazy how fast time is going - especially this transfer - I swear I have been here for like 2 weeks tops, haha!  It's crazy!  Things are good with my comp as well.  We are working hard and the area is really progressing!  We had an intercambio with the assistants this week and they told me that a transfer ago or so they did an intercambio here and they said things were slow but this time they told us that this area has improved a ton and said keep working so that's always good to get a little compliment here and there, haha.   The ward this week was really helping us all out so there are no complaints on my part!!! The Elder that had bells palsy is doing great.  He is better for the most part!  His face is still  a little goofy but it's getting there.  He is one funny kid!  Yes I do know Elder Dotson and I knew he was going home - poor guy!  He has had a rough mission with sicknesses.  Luckily I have been pretty happy and healthy and things so I cant complain!  I've only been really sick once but that was nothing.  I had amoeba's as well - it isn't fun that's for sure but no big deal that was a long time ago and since then I haven't been healthier or fatter, haha! I have been trying to get some pictures to you guys but I forgot how to do it so I need you to tell me again please, haha.  And ya the cat thing was gross and made me super mad!  I almost killed it but I caught it the next day and gave it a nice kick and hopefully it stays away from now on!  I was able to see Cody, he is doing good - he is one goofy kid and he makes me laugh that's for sure!  He is cool!

It sounds like you all are staying busy and getting alot done -  that's awesome to hear!  It also sounds like you got a lot more to do with the business!  Do you guys have plans to grow the business up north at all now that you own the state?  And how is Clayton like being the operations manager?  And Nadia - I think that's how you spell her name?  She speaks really well - it was great to hear from her, sounds like she is at the house quite often with you guys? And where does she live?  Good old beck boy - sounds like he is growing tons!  Tell Celeste that I finally did get that valentines thing with the pictures and little hands - that's awesome!  Thanks so much - i still remember that time when i held Beck for the first time!  That was a cool pic, thanks sister!  I also got your little letter with our family Christmas picture - man we are one good-looking family!  Sure makes an elder glad to hear that his family is doing so great!

Thanks again for your emails and your support - it means alot!  I hope everything continues to go well!  I think that's about all I can think of for this week but do know I love you all dearly and miss you all!  So glad to see that all those prayers I am sending your way are getting answered!  I love this gospel and wonderful work! And it is work!  But know I love you all and keep being the family I know you guys are! Hope to hear from ya all soon! Have a great week and we will talk to y'all soon!
