A day in the life of an Elder

Hey fam!

It was quite a funny week. I had my birthday... my camera died out on me... The rain soaked my scriptures... I got to see my neice in real life... I got to talk to Mom and Dad... I made myself a funfetti cake (which i put too much batter in too small a container which made the outside nice and crispy and the inside still liquid) *idiot* and that is about it. I had so much fun though. I thought the rain was going to kill our goal of handing out the rest of the 25 Book of Mormons we had planned but the Lord provided man. Although everyone stayed inside while it was raining the Lord placed certain people in our path that needed to have one. Lets see I don't know what to say. See ya next week... This will probably be the last email session so don't worry about writin' next week. Love you all so much. Thanks for everything that you've done for me. I can't say thanks enough. Can't wait to see ya. Peace!

Hey!

Sorry the library was closed yesterday so I have just a few minutes to write to you. To answer questions. on thursday I will be home all morning till 10 and at night around 9. Some of the other missionaries want to take me out to subway or somethin that day so I wont be home for lunch. So probably around 9:30 am would be best. if that time doesn't work out then just have her give me a call me. um yes to the rest of the questions. yeah I can't believe it's almost here. I don't think it will hit me till I'm on the plane. um that is about it... I can't wait to see you all! Loves

Hermanos y Hermanas de la familia de Dios

Whats happenin?! Man that conference was great. I loved how elder Holland testified about the Book of Mormon. The same testimony burns within me even now as I am talking about it to you. I was mentally exhausted after all the wonderful talks. I'm playing some tennis today with another missionary that played on Highlands Ranch high school team back home. His name is Elder Spear. He's pre sweet. I gotta practice up so i'll only be semi embarassed when I play Ky. This week was cruddy. My companion last monday sprained his ankle and so we rested it up the whole week. I planned on reading the old testament all the way through. Needless to say I made it through genesis haha. I kept getting distracted by the cool footnotes and wound up reading most of the Bible Dictionary. Some day I'll make it thru the Old Testament. Luckily though it looks like his ankle is mostly healed up so we are back on the streets baby. We had Zone Conference on Friday and I had to give my "Departing Testimony." It was weird. Tell alexis that I'm going to get ahold of her monday two weeks from today to give her some stuff to hold on to. I'll also leave my bike at the mission office the day I get shipped out so that they can pick it up. Tell her because she doesn't read these. That was super weird when I came back and the proactive was on the porch. Anywho I can't wait to see you all again. I keep having dreams about seeing everyone. I love you all! Especially Mom because of her faithful emailing haha. Peace!
