Hullo Mama!

espero que se encuentre bien y que todo esta en orden!  Me alegra mucho escuchare de usted!  le amo mucho y quiero que sepa que is la major mama de este lado de la galazia camino lechoso!  le amo!:D  No I didn't get transferred.  I'm still here in my area!  I'm excited!  My new companion is Elder Marsden!  Oh and just a hint he does NOT know how much time I have in the mission so when I call I need for you all to not mention ANYTHING about me finishing the mission!!!  Pretty please! :D  Oh and now I am the Secretary of references for the mission!  This is going to be interesting!  I have a lot of work to do!  I'm in charge of receiving references for missionaries and sending them out using a system that the church has.  It's really neat!  Glad you are getting the cleaning done you want and that it makes you feel good.  It's because it is so much easier for the spirit to dwell in clean places!  You and Dad make the best team ever!  It's so good to hear that Elder Web has done so well on his mission.  Tell him hi!  I'm glad that Dad cries with you but I have always know that Dad cries.  He is just better at hiding it than you.  So glad Jeremy has such a great new calling, it doesn't surprise me one bit.  They need a spiritual giant like Jeremy to help them out!  I'm glad they enjoyed their trip!  He sure is doing a lot.  Wait he has an AM radio show???  I never would have guessed that he would do something like that.  Way to go Troy on going back to school.  I'm sure he is super smart by now!  That was nice of Meg's to offer to take me to see Bryce if I come see her.  I wouldn't go see him anyways.  The church doesn't like friends and family to go visit missionaries during there service because it is REALLY distracting and can have a big effect.  Meg's doesn't have to bribe me:).  I do want to go just let me convince myself .  For the flight home I'm going to be using a medication the mission doctor prescribed for the anxiety.  So I want to see how I do with that first.  WHAT?  Bishop White cannot be released!!!  He is too good!  My week was really good!  The best part of my week was Sunday!  We had an investigator come to church and he has a baptismal date for May 30.  He is doing great and is really sincere!  Our other investigators are well!  President and Sister Jordan are from Fresno California.  I haven't heard from BYU yet but I applied for the winter semester in January so I have time.  Thank you for always reminding me to be happy Mom!  I love you so much!  My new companion is Elder Marsden from Ogden Utah!  He is really great and I am really happy to be with him!  We are going to have a great change!  I love you more than all the degrees of heat that have been over here.  Have the best week ever and do something different!

Buenas tardes papa

le amo mucho!  pues yo me quede aqui en mi area!  pero hay un cambio en responsabilidades.  ahora yo voy a ser el Nuevo seretario do referencias y mi Nuevo companero va a ser el secretario de salud!  My new companion is Elder Marsden!  He is from Ogden!!  He is super cool and awesome and we are getting along really well!  We are going to have a really great change together!  I am now in charge of all the missions references haha.  I've got a lot of work to do!  Ok so I need to know when I can call you guys on Mothers day.  The soonest I can would be at 3 because I have church in the morning until 2.  So I think that would be 2 your time but I'm not sure.  It's either 2 or 3 there.  But let me know if that's ok that I call at 3 my time!  I had to pull money out because I had to buy medication.  I just got a little sick with a throat infection but it is nothing bad.  I've been to the doctor and it's gotten a lot better and all is well!  Yes I am taking care of myself!  I am so glad that Elder Web had such a good experience on his mission.  So excited for the Phillips getting to go to Rome on a mission.  Tell them good luck and I wish them the best!  I'm also excited for Brother and Sister Glaus to be able to go on a mission.  Tell Ray to get his papers done as soon as he can.  Brother and Sister Koga are always in my prayers.  No I still haven't heard anything from BYU.  I'm really hoping that they accept me.  It will be a miracle if they do!  I really want to go there.  Well I do need some information from you and Mom but I don't want to ask for it by email.  I thought I would do it through President Jordan. Hey guess what?  I was on family search last week and I found the line that goes back to Adam!  I've got it marked and I can find it now.  It goes back through Moms side.  It's really cool.  I was showing the other Elders I work with and they were really excited!  I'm really excited to do family history work when I get back!  Well we are definitely having a lot of contacts and there are a lot of future prospects.  So this week we will see how it goes.  We do have one investigator named Roberto that has a baptismal date!  So keep him in your prayers and Rodrigo, Alicia, and Ancelma too!  They are the ones who can be baptized this change!   I do keep trying and I will never stop!  I really hope that Heavenly Father is pleased with my work!  I will definitely do all I can to beat Satan.  I'm just still trying to figure out what purposes Heavenly Father has for me and what He wants me to do.  I remember that in almost all my blessings that you gave me you kept mentioning a great work that Heavenly Father has for me to do.  I would really like to figure out what that work is.  Thanks so much Dad!  I love you and miss you!  We had a great experience yesterday as we contacted a man cleaning his motorcycle.  We started to talk about families and we really felt the spirit and he did too!  He accepted us to come back and we are going to see him today!  I love you a lot!  Have a great week!

Hey Dad

That is so cool that Elder Anderson went to visit the stake!  They traveled far to attend.  President Laws has been quite a long time.  Mom told me about what he said and it was really good and true.  The temples are so important!!!!  I can't wait to be able to go with you and Mom!  I'm so glad to hear that Brother Koga is feeling better.  I can't even imagine how Geri must feel.  Just tell her I love her and I know that she is strong and can do anything!  Woah!  Way to go Bryce, he is going to be a great soccer player.  I'm so glad that you and Mom went to the temple.  Go every week if you can.  Heather and Zac are huge examples of how to press forward in spite of what life throws at you.  It was a great experience going with President Jordan.  He is really interested in learning more and reading the Book of Mormon.  But as of right now he is not very interested in being baptized because we think he is a little afraid for what others will say but with time he will change.  I have been really blessed to have such testimony building experiences!  It's my plan to keep trying and I will do all I can for all my life.  You and Mom are such a great team!  Thanks so much for the advice Dad.  What is your favorite scripture and why???  Also why is prayer important for you?  I love you!

usted es mi favorita mama!
espero que esta semana le fue muy bien!  I bet it was really strange having the Koga's gone.  But keep in touch with them through facebook.  Tell Geri she is awesome and she is strong!  Tell her also I love her and that all will be well.  I will definitely keep them in my prayers!  They were awesome neighbors and huge examples!  Glad you and Dad went to the temple, you two are such examples to me.  Thanks so much.  Keep up the great work and enjoy every moment of it.  I'm so proud of Zac and that him and Heather went to the temple together.  They have done so good.  I love going to the temple..  Each time I go I can feel a huge difference.  It really helps us to keep an eternal perspective on things and it is mandatory!  There are so many people who don't see Christ as He truly is.  Many people don't even see the need for a church anymore.  We have to be stronger then ever before because we are getting very close to the second coming and satan is trying harder than ever before.  Whatever happens, we can not lose sight of the ultimate goal.  Just like when Peter was walking on top of the water and he started to fear and doubt when he focused on the water and wind and lost sight of Christ.  If we lose sight of our end goal and fear and doubt we will being to drown so we must stand firm and not be distracted!  Glad you went out with the Sister missionaries, you are an outstanding missionary.  You are going to be blessed for that.  Thanks for your example.  I love you!  My week was really good!  I had a pretty neat experience!  On Monday when we were heading home for the day we saw one sister with her little daughter and we decided to contact her and invite her.  What a great decision that was.  She commented to us a little how she has had a hard life and has been looking for help and change.  She wants to become closer to God and that's when we testified of the Gospel and it's marvelous power to cause change!  As we talked with her a light seemed to spark in her eyes and she had hope of a better life!  We visited her during the week and now she has a baptismal date and is progressing!  She came to a ward activity that we had on Saturday and loved it.  She also came on Sunday and loved it as well!  She is a chosen person.  We had a big activity on Saturday about the plan of salvation and it was really great and I think that it really changed the attitude of the ward.  In gospel principles on Sunday we had to use 2 rooms because there were so many people!  The bigger part were non members!  President Jordan is a great teacher.  I'm so glad and grateful to have him as a mission President!  I love him and Sister Jordan!  I have always admired how Dad NEVER complains about anything and is so humble.  I love my Dad!  Thanks so much Mom!  I did get a package but it was a small one from the youth in the ward.  I have no idea if I'll get transferred or not!  I think so but I will do the Lord's will.  Love you more than all the steps I have walked this week!

Love you best!

Hola Mama

que tal?  como esta???  le quiero mucho  Mom you are so skinny!  That's so aawesome to see you going down the slide with the kids haha.  I bet you can run faster than me.  Thank you for all the wonderful thoughts even though I can't read them:D  You are doing great at getting things done on time.  I don't know how you manage to do so much.  I'm praying that I will be able to see Brother Koga one last time!  I really want to see him as well!  Tell Geri that all will be well and that she is awesome.  Congrats to Bryce!  Heather and Zac are looking good.  Just like the good old times.  I'm glad you enjoyed yourself.  You are such a good teacher.  I bet that meant a lot to Bryce that you gave a talk.  You sure are the most super active grandma I've ever seen.  You are awesome.  My week was super great!  President Jordan asked me to accompany him to a lesson this week so I was his companion for a little while.  It was so cool!  I had a really great experience as well.  We were going to check the address of a contact we had and while we were going I saw a man selling things out of his house.  So I went and contacted him.  It was awesome because I found out that his wife has been inactive for almost 30 years and they were happy to receive us!  We had an activity with the ward where we made cupcakes and we went and passed them out to people to invite them to an activity on Saturday.  We took some to this man I contacted and they were thrilled.  When we taught him later I felt the spirit so strong as I testified to him about Joseph Smith and I felt like the spirit entered and filled me and gave me added support and strength!  It was a great experience!  Tell my Brothers and Sisters I love and support them 200 percent.  Things went great in the office.  Our giant printer ran out of toner so we had to run to a printing store and buy some so that was great.  I'm so proud of myself because I did a lot of contacting!  I'm really pushing myself to get out of my comfort zone and talk to people!  Thanks for the package.  My next transfer is April 27.  For the most part we reached our goal.  Thanks a bunch Mom.  I love you more than all the contacts I did this week!  Have a great week and take care of Dad.  I love you!

Buenas tardes papa!

le amo mucho!  que bien que su bautismo fue excelente!  me da mucho gusto que usted y mama pudieron asistir!  gracias por todo que ha hecho por mi papa!  I'm sure that the drive to Utah isn't very fun but that's great that you and Mom have time to talk.  All the men in our family are decent cooks, seems to run in the family.  I had forgotten about the bread.  It's so good, save me some!  I have been praying for Brother Koga and Craig, all will be well.  I'm really sad to see the Koga's go.  If  you can tell them I love them and I'll see them again.  The work is going really well here.  We had a whole lot of contacts this week!  I'm really proud to say that I pushed myself a lot to get out of my comfort zone and talk to more people!  That is something I will keep doing.  We had some really cool experiences this week!  It's really true that if you want to baptize more people you are going to talk with more people!  From talking to more people there were a lot who turned into future investigators!  There was one lady we contacted and honestly I thought she was going to straight out reject us but I felt I should invite her to meet with us and she readily agreed!  We had talked to her about family history work and it interested her!  So it's always important to listen to the spirit!  I also had a way awesome experience!  I was President Jordan's companion for a lesson!  He had to go to talk to the owner of some sister's house about some maintenance issues and he was also going to teach him because the owner had looked to him for help with some rough situations.  So President Jordan invited me to go with him and help him teach!  My companion stayed in the offices doing his work.  It was super great!  I really learned a lot from President Jordan!  He teaches very smoothly and fluid.  He is a great man!  Thank you so much for your prayers Dad!  I really do love missionary work and I have no plans to stop once I'm home!  Thanks so much.  I'm still waiting for a response from BYU.  I check every week so when I know something I will let you know.  I love you so much Dad!  Have a fantastic week!  Be sure to do scripture study and prayer with Mom!  Love you lots!

Hola mama

le amo mucho!  espero que su semana fue fantastic como la mia!  This week we had a zone conference with President Jordan and it was really inspiring!  I left that meeting really excited and happy!  We have a crazy goal this week to contact 20 people each day and so far we are doing really good.  I've seen a huge difference because from just the 20 that we had yesterday we now have about 5 future investigators and they all have set appointments!  I'm super excited!  Conference was really great.  I really loved how a lot of the talks were focused on the family!  It was a lot of great insight!  It was also fun to listen to the talks in Spanish.  I could understand more or less when the one general authority spoke in Portuguese .  Yes when Elder Bednar talked about fear I felt like he was talking directly to me!  It's really true that we can and should use the Atonement to overcome everything!  I also liked the talk about divine grace.  That's a really good idea going back to study them will allow you to catch things that you maybe missed!  I watched conference in my church building and it was in Spanish.  I understood it just like it was English.  For Easter we spent the day proselyting and sharing the special message of Christ's resurrection!  It was really great!  Please tell Brother Koga that I love him and that he is such a huge example to me!  Tell him to hang in there and all will be well.  I'm really sad they are moving.  It's amazing how Craig and Brother Koga never complain.  The truly are long suffering and patient!  Tell Craig I love him.  Have fun in Utah.  It's great they are going to build new temples.  I'm so excited!  My week was super great!  We have been getting better every week and it's so wonderful to see how the Lord is blessing us continually!  I'm definitely not perfect in it and I need to learn to listen to the spirit better or create an atmosphere where I can hear better.  Reflecting back on conference and on the Savior I'm so grateful he did what he did so now I can change and make it back to live with him and Heavenly Father!  Really what matters most in this life is Heavenly Father and doing what He wants and that is what I want to do!   I want to please Heavenly Father and be a good son.  We went to the temple today and it was peaceful!  I really felt like a burden was lifted!  I'm glad we are an eternal family!  You and Dad are just like to young hooligan love birds.  I'm glad to see you two so happy together!  You guys are such role models and I love you!  You have accomplished so much and you both have lost a ton of weight.  No worries Mom we will always be young.  My companion is doing great!  I think the best part of my week was the zone conference because it really helped to lift my spirits and I learned a lot!  No worries I always smile when I think of you two!  I will keep the Spanish language forever.  I'm so glad I can speak it!  I love you more than all the fish we have eaten these past 4 days!  That is a lot because during the holy week here all they eat is fish!

Love you best!
