Hey there!

Things are slowly improving. Lesson wise, but, we have seriously done everything possible there is to do. so it seems like we are going to do a lot of tracting. that' is a terrible Idea. we gained two new investigators this week and hopefully we can continue to teach them and see them get baptized, they both accepted the invitation to be baptized when they know that this is true.

Hahaha, that's so funny about Kaleb. what happened to this gung-ho family that lives off of wrestling. ha that's pretty funny, but i don't blame him. hopefully he doesn't turn out like his father. I don't think I knew that hernandez was having another kid. that's cool. he is a good guy.

Do you remember the drocktons? ammon should, he played with Henry. They moved back to spanish fork this week. they are living in those condo's across from the diamond fork appartments. So maybe You guys will run into them around town or something.

I remember when I had impetigo! that sucked! but I didn't have to wear a mask haha. that is not fun. also, did I not say that they were going to have ammon cut his hair? I swear I did. besides. Short hair is much better. but i mean seriously, he qualified and he was sick. that's really good. He just needs to stop being so Emo and really do work. I mean if it's something that he really wants than he is going to have to wrestle like there is nothing to lose. Because there really isn't a thing to lose at all. The most dangerous person in the tournament is the one who isn't scared to lose because he will do whatever it takes to win (legally). He Needs to stop putting himself down. if you doubt, it will never happen. If he wants to win he knows what it takes.

Jordyn, who it the world is that?! ... haha Just kidding sister! I still remember you. Happy birthday! I guess it is a bit late, but oh well. I will send you something when I can okay? I'm working on it. Don't worry, I actually remembered this time! That is a first! How old did you turn again? 2? I can't remember right... ;P Sounds like there is going to be a fun party though. especially for mom. Jumping Jacks... is that the place right off the 15 in springville? Kind of by walmart?

Matthew, Hit the weights boy! Then you can play like Keven Garnett or Kobe. someone huge! then next time when you play against someone big you can throw your body around more and dominate! Do you get to play church ball this year or do you have to wait until you are a teacher?

You didn't tell me about dad losing his wallet. That's way funny, he probably requested a new lisence and all of that other info stuff that he had in there. haha man. he would do something like that! haha :P That made me laugh! haha ...If it makes you feel better I always lose my chapstick in my dress pants too... ha

Speaking about money and stuff... My CD is ending in february. I just remembered that. so if you could do whatever needs to be done, that would be great. Thanks!

Theresa is coming down for grandpa's surgery? wow. that will be good for him. how long does the Recovery usually take? about a month or so? does he have to do PT at all? hmm interesting. sounds like another adventure for you guys to have. haha well that's good that you will be having extra hands to help out.
That's so strange that scott lost his job already. How can they not see that within three weeks things are not going to miraculously pick up. good research mates.. hopefully he will be able to find a sturdy job and have a constant income.

Remember how I said that stetson argyle didn't come out? well he did, he is just going by his biological dads last name so when I asked about an Elder Argyle no one had a clue, but I got a letter from JR and he let me know. He also said that you guys were welcome to go to his farewell, but that was yesterday... haha so I had no clue on how I was going to be able to tell you guys.. Oh well, I'm sure he did a good job. He goes into the MTC in two days. Chet and Matt went this last wednesday I believe and so By wednesday all of us will be gone. strange.

You are dang right about energy. I never have enough. I have come to the conclusion that I have African Sleeping Disease. No matter how much I sleep I can fall asleep whenever I want. I mean I wake up tired! I really have no idea what the heck is going on. Maybe That's just misisonary work. ha I don't know. I have never done either before.

Not too much went on this week either. we were able to gain two new investigators but we only taught one more lesson than last week. so I mean things are really slowly increasing. but they are! ha. but I was looking at all the potential that we have access to and if we can tap that and start to teach them we can get back to where we need to be. One person is from a part member family who was found through a perspective Elders thing put on by the High Priests her name is Shere and the other is an old referral from the county fair Her name is Jenny. Both seem sincere and one actually was the first one I have had read after a first visit since Justasia, that's a long time, and Justasia was baptized, both of these two will be also. hopefully we will be able to start teaching Jenny's family, we taugh her boys yesterday with her. she also has a daughter who we hope to teach, and a husband, but he is pretty ignorant. he tried to bash with us and proved us right. so ha that was funny, that doesn't usually happen. That was really all that happened here though. The transfer ends in two weeks so. we'll see if things can pick back up before then~!

Love ya.
Michael

Hey dad.

This week was better, only a little though. I'm learning to align my will with the Fathers' so I am also learning to endure with faith and know that whatever I do I cannont control the Agency of others. even if they don't know how to use it!

That's a bummer that you guys get sick. I never get sick, ( knock on wood) I have been actaully really quite heathly.

I cant really do anything to get rid of my belly except jump rope and wait until it warms up and so I can go run in the mornings. We'll see if that really does happen. haha

That's cool that you finally got those printed out. has Matthew been able to go do baptisms yet? that will be really fun for him. I think that he will like it. but not doing a million and a half names all at once though. I remember when I was baptizing for over an hour in a row. that made me really sore! Who knew you could get a work out in the temple? haha that's not sacralige is it? I hope not. ha.



Well not much else.



Love you.

Michael
