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!
Love

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!

Hola Papa!
le amo bastante! como le fue ensu semana?? espero que disfruto el dia de la Pascua! Dad way to go loosing weight! You are doing awesome! Yes I saw conference and the general authorities who spoke in Spanish haha. It was really great and it flew by. I really love how they are incorporating the languages into general conference! That is great that you and Mom study together. I understand trying to stay awake in conference, I think there was one I accidentally fell asleep during. For Easter I watched conference and after proselyted the whole day about the message of the resurrection of Christ! It was really great! We contacted a lot of people. Well dinner no but lunch yes. Here the members feed us lunch instead of dinner. We have been eating sea food this whole week. So glad you all got together for Easter dinner and then played games. Our investigators are doing great! We have a lot of new ones that look promising and we are excited to see what happens with them! Thanks for your advise and great example. So glad Craig is doing better, tell him I love him and Kim and Aliya too. Tell Troy's kids as well, tell everyone haha. Tell Brother Koga not to give up and that all will be well in the end. The Lord will watch over him and I know that he will be alright. They really are one of the greatest families I have ever met! I love them so much. I hope to see him one last time. I miss and love him! Ok Dad thanks for your counsel. Thank you for being such a great example to me and for supporting me! I love you! Thank you for helping me to stay focused! Please have a great week Dad and just have fun! You are such a great Dad and you have done miracles in my life and so many more. This week really was great for me! We have a goal to contact 20 people each day and so far all is going well. I'm so excited for this week and to be working in the Lord's vineyard! Keep being awesome.

Happy happy Monday Mother!
I love you and miss you lots! You are a great Mom and the best! I'm glad Dad was able to get my school stuff sent to BYU. Thank you so much. You have a real gift in your sewing, keep it up. Your sewing is so cool. What you can do for an object lesson at Bryce's baptism is take a blind fold and tie it around his eyes. Tell him to try and get to a certain point in the room or find a certain object without helping him. Then what you can do is do it again but this time take him by the hand and guide him to the point he needs to get to. Then you can relate this to the Holy Ghost by explaining how He acts as a guide for us to help us get to Heavenly Father when we can't see the way. He can also help us avoid obstacles that we can't always see. You will give a great talk Mom.
My week was really good. We had some great experiences! On Sunday we had 2 spiritual experiences. First we went to teach a less active and we found she was passing through a really hard trial and she doesn't feel like she qualifies for forgiveness but we taught her about the atonement and repentance and the sacrament and it was very powerful. She thanked us afterwards for having come. Then later that night we went and taught a member family and during the lesson I felt impressed to teach them about an effective way to set goals and plans and a vision of what we want to become that President Jordan had showed us. At the end of the lesson the Grandma of the family was crying and she thanked us so much for having shared that with her because for the last few days she had been praying really hard to Heavenly Father to help her out of depression she was in and to find a way to get more active and doing things in general and she told us that this was the answer to her prayers. It really meant a lot to me because we had no idea and I wasn't even sure if the lesson would turn out good but it did. I realized even more just how well Heavenly Father knows his children and what they need. He does answer prayers. I know you want me to fly to Germany but let me fly home first. Being on a mission has done miracles for me but it hasn't taken away my fear of airplanes. Craig is in my prayers. I know all will be well. We need to share the gospel with everyone. Sister Jordan is great. I helped her pack her things in the mission home on Friday because they are also leaving in June. I'm their last generation to send home. No I haven't gotten any packages yet but I will no worries. Thanks so much Mom. I love you more than all the pass a long cards that I will give out this week! I love you lots!

Hey Dad!
I love you! Thank you so much for all you do for me. You are the best Dad ever! Were you able to get my SAT scores sent as well? It sounds like it's really hot there. It's started warming up a lot here too. That would be nice if we could just skip summer and go straight to fall. I would love that. I'm sure Mom is telling everyone in the whole world when I will be home. But that's just because I have an awesome Mom! Wow I'll get back 4 days after Jordan. That's crazy! I think I will do my talk in Spanish, there should be enough people in the ward by now that speak Spanish so it shouldn't be too bad! :D I'm sure everyone is going to get a laugh out of how bad my English is haha. Yes that's right it's time to send more castlegate missionaries out.
My companion is doing a lot better. He has been using orthopedic insoles to help realign his knees. His knees haven't been hurting nearly as much just his feet because of the insoles. I think if I had to spend more time inside I would go crazy! I'd much rather be outside working! Missionary work is a lot of fun. Yes he can move now and we have been working normally so all should be well. Thank you for your prayers! Well we do have AC but it's broken so we are in the process of fixing it right now. The good thing is that the mission covers that. Well it's pretty hot right now so there isn't much desire for hot water haha. Well this week we were able to have a lot of great experiences! One day we were in the limits of our area looking for a less active member from the ward directory and we stopped to ask for directions and when we did this guy came running towards us and asked us if we were looking for him. So my companion and I looked at each other a little weird but we said yes and started teaching him. So long story short he is a new investigator and he has a baptismal date! It's interesting how Heavenly Father puts people in our paths. We also had one of our investigators come to church this week and she stayed for all 3 hours and loved it. Thank you so much Dad! I think they are pleased as well. I'm going to do all I can. Don't worry I'm writing everything down. There's a reason I've asked for so many journals. I've got like 5 completed! Love you lots Dad. Thanks for everything.

Thanks for everything.

Happy birthday to you! Hey it's been a long time since you've done a garage sale. That's great you are going through everything. So glad you helped Kim, tell her good job. Wow look at you Mom! You are such a selfless person! I really love that about you! You could of gone away for the weekend but you decided to stay to help one of your kids! You are such a great example! I love you! That's a great surprise, Dad decorating the inside of the house and Troy, Kim and the kids decorating the outside for your birthday. Dad is becoming quite a chef. That was so nice of him to do that for you. He really loves you. He is a good Dad and husband. Lots of singing, I'm singing too just through an email haha. I'm so glad everyone called you Mom. You are so great. Know worries I will be there for the next birthday. Meghan and Jeremy are having a lot of adventures. I hope they are enjoying it. Thank you guys for helping me with school. I really appreciate your help. I will listen to conference the same day, just a few hours later for the time difference. I'm really excited as well! It will be great! Have fun in Utah! I gave a talk on Sunday and it was really good! Everyone was really interested and it stuck with them and they felt the spirit. That's what matters. We are really excited for this week because we have a lot of new plans so I can't wait to put them into action. I'm still working in the offices. It's going really great and we are working fast. Tell Craig he is awesome and he will be just fine! Tell Ray Hola y que le quiero mucho y que estoy ilusionado a verle! I've been talking with Bryce and Josh and Ty a lot. I haven't heard anything out of Tanner, how is he? I've been reading the Book of Mormon in Spanish and I just read the part you read this week. I really like that part. I learned a lot from it. They were very humble and long suffering as they passed through their afflictions and it shows me that that is how we should be in the midst of our afflictions! I'm very happy and very well! Thanks Mom! I love you Mom! Thanks so much for your prayers and support! I love you more than all the stack of paper I've had to fill out while in the offices.
Love you most

Hey Dad!
I love you and miss you! Thanks for doing all you did for Mom's birthday. Yes Mom never gets any older she just gets younger. I know she loved all you did. You are really creative and awesome! I love you! That's so great everyone called and was talking to her! I bet it really made her day! I will keep the Koga's in my prayers. Thank you so much for taking care of my school stuff. I've had my release date since I've started. I've also got my flight plans and everything that I will be sending you. I'm sure that when Mom sees them she will start to cry! I will be home on June 8th at approximately 12:30pm. Well my companion has had some knee problems and we haven't been able to leave the house much because he has had to rest. We have an appointment in the hospital today at 5. So we haven't been able to do much work but when we had the chance we were able to get a lot done! We had 2 investigators come to church on Sunday and they are able to get baptized in April! I'm way excited! We did a lot of contacting this week and were able to find various new investigators! We were talking with one who has a friend who is a member and as we were explaining the gospel to her it was super clear and she asked us when we would be coming by to teach her! I was really happy to be able to find the people we did! The Lord does put others in our path so we can help them! It is starting to get hot here. It's really humid in the house. Thank you so much Dad for you support and words. I love you and I'm grateful for you example in my life. Enjoy your week and have fun. Do something fun for yourself. You have done so much for others and now do something fun for yourself. I love you so much Dad. I had a really good experience with prayer this week. Most times when we pray we just get down and start talking and we finish without having accomplished much. But I went to pray one day and I remember taking the time to meditate and prepare myself and it made such a difference. I was truly able to pour my soul out to Heavenly Father and the spirit I felt was so strong! I know that Heavenly Father listens to and answers prayers but I also know that if we prepare ourselves for the prayer our experience will be much more edifying! Love you so much!

Hello Mum!
Love you bunches and bunches! I can imagine your reaction when Sister Jordan called. Yes everything is alright Mother. I just thought it would be better to pass my social security number that way than by email. Sister Jordan is super awesome and we get along very well. You cleaned my room! Just let me know if you are going to get rid of anything haha. You have a lot of great ideas. Don't see these things so much as tasks that have to be done but see it as a great chance to spend time with Dad. Even tedious house tasks like that can be fun when you work together! Enjoy every minute of it. Glad you and Dad are studying the sacrament. I've really seen a difference as I've prepared for the sacrament and as I focus on Christ's atonement! You can feel the spirit so much stronger! Just look at it like you two are eternally dating. Keep doing things together and have fun. I've really seen a difference in you and Dad as well. You two are such great examples to me! Thanks for all you teach me. Yes Mom I do know how you like happy endings. So glad you gave up soda and that you and Dad are walking together. Slow down Mom, your taking bets on when I will get married! What are they thinking? Oh wow Lauren will be dating. Hey maybe we can form a group date when I get back. That would be interesting.
We were able to find new people to teach and right now we are in the process of helping them progress. Yesterday I was with another Elder here in my area and we were looking for less active members from the list of members and when we contacted a house we weren't able to find the person we were looking for but we did find a new investigator! He seems interested and we have another appointment with him! That's a great idea to look for someone to share the gospel with. Pray about it. If you can't find someone right now the Lord will put someone in your path! Oh Mom there is SO much I need to do better! I've got a lot of work ahead of me. I'm just trying my best and I want to be better. We just had transfers and we stay the same! Craig is awesome! Tell him I love him! Thank you so much for being my super duper Mother! I love you more than all the paper work I have to fill out in the offices!

Hey Dad!
I love you and hope all is well! Sorry I couldn't respond yesterday! We had our P day suddenly changed from yesterday to today because we had to go pick up a trainer and a new missionary that just got here. Nothing happened in these transfers, my companion and I are the same! Yes I did get my social security number all right! Thanks so much for doing that. I would have asked by email but I didn't think that it was a good idea to pass it by email. I'm filling out my application to BYU today so lets see how that goes. Tell Brother Koga to get better! I am keeping them in my prayers. My week was interesting. Let me just say that contacting can be very interesting because you never know who you will meet! One thing I've learned is that the Lord does prepare his children to receive the gospel. We found one man this week who was in the U.S. military and he had had some friends that were members of the church and right now we are teaching him! He said that he is really interested in learning! We also had some investigators come to a baptism that the sisters in our ward had last week! They really liked it and felt the spirit! Things are still going a bit slow but they are picking up! More than anything I just keep on trying. President Jordan told me something really important. He said that it doesn't matter if you try and fail and try and fail and try and fail again. It matters much more if you try and fail and fail to try again. So that's what I do. I may fail a lot but I just keep on trying and doing my best. You and Mom are full of great ideas. Keep putting those ideas in practice. I'm sure that you two will learn a lot. I've had countless experiences like that when I read the scriptures and the problems just seem to go away and be so burdensome! Whenever you find yourself in a hard situation just read the scriptures! It always helps! It does get harder but I'm giving it my all to stay focused. What helped you to stay focused until the end??? Ask Troy too so I can know. Thanks so much Dad! I love you and miss you as well! Have a great week Dad. Congrats for the weight lost. You are doing so good and I'm proud of you! Love you lots and keep being such a great example to me!

My dear Mother!
My week was great! We were able to have a lot of great experiences! There was one day that was pretty hard this week and we weren't finding anything and I was a little down but as we went to ask a lady for directions Heavenly Father blessed us! We started talking to her and at first I thought she was going to reject us like others had but as we talked with her she showed interest and said she wants to come to church! She wants us to visit her as well! It was really uplifting to have Heavenly Father give us that experience! Mom glad your walking, I walk everyday too. We do it together haha. Dad works so hard, he needs to rest. So proud of Craig and the positive attitude he has! So glad Kim Cammack is teaching again. That doesn't surprise me one bit, all the kids love her. She is great with kids. Know worries Mom I'll be happy to do the lawn mowing when I get back! Happy early Birthday Mommy! Thanks for the quote Mom. That is really true and I'm going to apply it here in my life in the mission! My week was really good! We had several contacts like the one I just told you! Contacting people has gotten so easy here. I just need to find the people who are ready to listen! Mom I have a question for you. How do you think I could focus on the future and less on the past? What should I do to accomplish that? Well I'm still working in the offices like normal. I schedule all the English exams for the Latin American missionaries so that's all done. Tomorrow when I go in I'm going to be helping my companion send out all the references for the mission. The people we are teaching are doing good! They are just struggling in coming to church. Glad you made Ty a pillow case to match mine. I will give President a call and get the application to BYU filled out. The whipped cream in the picture was a gift from Sister Jordan and it was gone in a matter of minutes haha! Have a great week Mom! I love you and miss you so much! Take care of Dad and help him to keep losing weight. Keep being the most awesome Mom ever! I love you more than all the Mothers I have seen here in the mission!

Hola Papa!
le amo mucho! mi semana fue muy bien y tuvimos algunas experiencias muy geniales! Hey Dad love you! I'm so excited for Ty, he is going to do great in Argentina. The Lady we tried to teach last week with the stroller never answered the door each time we went to visit her. Oh well I guess that happens sometimes, maybe she's just not ready yet. We were able to find some people this last week. Well let me explain, we are finding people everyday. The only things is getting them to accept us to visit them. We are progressing though. One of our investigators that has been progressing gave us a really great reference this week! Apparently she had been sharing what she had been learning with her sister. Her sister and her husband got interested and wanted to talk to us! They have a lot of great questions and are really sincere! So we are able to see Heavenly Father help us! They accepted to be baptized as well. We just are trying to help them come to church now. One thing that I have seen is that it is better to be up front and direct with the people because that way we don't loose so much time and we can see who really has a desire. Contacting people can be really interesting, you never know who you are going to talk to! I would like to do a little more reaping than planting haha. But if all Heavenly Father wants me to do is plant then that is what I will do! I just hope I can feel that at the end of my mission. I'm going to work my hardest!
Craig is doing so good! Tell him he is awesome! Tell Brother Koga that he is awesome as well and that I love him and Craig! I have been keeping them both in my prayers. I know they will both be ok and all will be well! Thank you so much Dad! I love you and miss you! Hey Dad instead of complaining about things what can I do to find solutions? I love you a lot Dad! Have a great week and take care of Mom! Love you!
