Hey dad.



Work is slow, one potential candidate. we'll find out on sunday.

Is the window film the same stuff that I put up in the bathrooms? Those turned out well didn't they? The arches are going to be tough! be careful G!



If you talk to a guy with the last name Baum, he is unprofessional with his language. he works where I sort of "interned" last year. I played football and soccer with his son lafe. Hopefully you will get a good amount for it.



i think you guys told me about cutting the tree down when we talked at christmas. the tree was so dang big! what did you do with all the wood? is is sitting at home waiting for the fire pit to be done? haha it was soo big!



Weather here is in the low 20's and last night it got into the negatives. it's freezing. so not cool!

I work out on P-day. that's really the only time that I can, I use the bands every now and then too. it's just really hard to get a good work out in every morning at 6:30. I do what I can. unfortunatly it's not that much.



Ha that was Elder O'Neill, he serves in my District. we keep each other sane. He asked if he could so I said why not!? haha things are good, My attitude has helped a lot.



Much Love.

Michael

Hello mother,

Actually, This week was better. mainly because we didn't have 7 appointments with investigators cancel. We were expecting a similar week, in that picture I was reporting numbers to the district leader. We'll just say his communication skill are lacking... dramatically. Elder O'Neill... We keep each other sane. we have fun on our p-days and we get along really well. He has a mommy, He just likes to write them. He also writes Elder Barlow's mom.

Did the Dr. say how long grandpa had these clogged arteries? I mean wow, that sounds really good to be honest. it will be good for him to be a lot more healthy and have more energy, He needs it! It will be a tough thing to go through, but he has gone through plenty of tough things before, this should be a cake walk right? Maybe I need that surgery too, I'm always drained of energy.
Matthew is a giant! he needs to keep up the basketball, build himself some confidence and Practice a lot, He can do really well there, he is just going to have to work at it. I'm glad he is on a good team, he has had so many crappy teams this will be good for him to be able to be on a team that can actually compete.he needs to be taught how to use his big body too, that will really help.
Delta duals? are they tough? I have never been there.... Obviously.. Can he beat Lorenzo yet? He is a spiteful kid, what's up with throwing a match to prove that he doesn't want to wrestle? haha what a punk! That's pretty funny really, Go figure delta gets upset for losing their own tournament. I'm surprised they didn't change the rules half way to help them win. Judkins is a really good coach, He knows when to sub in the JV's to get them practice so the program stays strong. that's really smart. you're right too, Time flies.
Jayme and Jordyn always have a good time! you should know that by now! ever since she was born she has always loved Jayme and hung all over her. Do you not remember when she would come home from school and Jord would always follow her and want to be around her? yeah, Cause I do.. haha

Coach webb, what a good guy. Does he still have his practices? Ammon should get Lorenzo and go down there. that would be really good for him too. I mean it's A lot of practice and it's really hard but I mean if he really wants to do as well as he says, that's something that he should go do. Unless the Ashworths go.. That is a practice worth missing.. haha whoops did I say that out loud? I have been writing JR and he is probably more excited than I was, I can't wait to see how he likes the MTC for 9 weeks though. He is so cynical it will be amusing to how he puts up with people. He doesn't do well with Stupid people either, and yes, there are missionaries like that. It will be entertaing to reaad his letters and see how he is handling it.

Yeah, Shea told me about Chets call, I just hope he does well. I can't see him going home for her. but there is always that though you know? haha It's so cool to finally say (within two weeks) that all of my friends are out on their missions. Also to think that I will have been out six months by the time they leave the MTC and JR enters. Time just disappears. sometimes it's great, but other times you wish it wasn't so fast. but oh well. That kind of surprises me that people are asking how I'm doing. I'm sure it's more for your sake than mine though, because I don't really iknow any of those people. honestly the only people that I sort of knew where Rance and Ryan. Who knows.. The camera will be great to have, mine is well, yeah... I can't think of anything else that I need, Maybe some tie hangers? those would be nice to have.
So, Lets see. last night it got down to 0 Degrees, plus the wind chill it was probably lingering around -5 or so. We hung up blankets and towels over our windows to help the heat stay in. they are only single pane so some of them actually have frost on the inside. But we stay fairly warm until we have to go outside.. agh. not fun haha

Yesterday we went over and taught a part-member family, the husband has been a member his whole life and his wife doesn't know much, he is in-active. the lesson went a little too long but really it was really good. we committed His wife Sheri, and her friend Natalie to be baptized once they find out that this is true! it was so cool. the spirit was there and confirmed truth, they will find their answers within this week as long as they truely do read and pray, that is key. the Book of Mormon will and can convince anyone and everyone if they are an honest seeker of truth. not too much going on this last week or this upcoming week either. I'm going on exchanges with Elder O'Neill tonight until wednesday morning. so that will be a nice fun break and it will definitley speed things up. So. we will see what happens here in this place of wadsworth, I really enjoy the ward they are great but the work can be hard. President Bensen Said in his talk titled the fourteen fundamentals of following the prophet that "the two groups of people that have the hardest time following the prophet are the proud and the rich and the proud who are learned" there is quite a bit here. (that's why it's normally a sister area. they do better in these places) but there are Elect here. they just don't know how important this is.

Love you.
Michael
