beloved family.

life is great out here in california. the weeks are pouring by it seems every time i blink ther is less time out here but thats the way it goes.

so this last district meeting we trained on chapter 11 of preach my gospel. "How can i help people make and keep commitments". I was reading through it and thought man we should probably be commited as missionaries. so the training was ch 11 but aimed at us "How can i make and keep commitments" namely our commitment to be converted to the gospel of jesus christ. it was good the spirit was so strong it was probably the best training ive been to i loved it. the cool part was the missionaries were taking notes so i knew that they were feeling it to. If you guys get a chance read chapter 11 but but switch things like "the people you teach" "them"they" to I me and we it makes it really powerful especially with the end talking about testimonies it turns it on us that we have the opportunity to bear what we know!

so it was fun to hear about payts talk and stuff. its so cool that we are going to be out at the same time.

well i wish i was gonna be there with nicole and fam. it will be fun.

YOU got two kitties????

what did you name them??
Im sure cati will love them she is a good dog.

man i miss that dog so much i cant lie she has always been my best girl for sure.

so im in need of a couple things down here. could you send some more stamps and some hair glue i havent been able to get it because we are stuck here in this little valley with little to no access to the outside world. if you can that would be awesome.

i miss you guys I hope all is well. tomorrow is zone conference. Im excited great things are coming to pass here in this zone it has been so cool to be a part of it i love it.

well tell becole i say i love her and hi and brydon and kamdin and logan and presly and the new one on the way.

well off to the many p day possibilities. hope all is well.

love \

Flip sounds like life at home is pretty dang fun... that sounds fun going down to seaside and astoria and stuff is cati going? tell her i miss her..

well im still getting used to this transfer the new group of elders i live and make up my district w are different than what im used to but its all good.

So sushi... Some members in our ward took us out to sushi the other night and it was my first time for me but i have to say that i absolutly loved it. I really want to go with you and dad i think it would be funny to see how dads eat anything and everything attitude would change. they say that raw fish is the best meat for you. dont judge a book by its cover you will have to try it with an open mind.

the canyon country 1st ward feels just like home i have been really lucky on my mission thus far to be in really home like wards i love it.

well this week the work has been good it feels slow but we are teaching alot of lessons. its summer so its harder to find people in a ready to learn about church state. But the work goes forward regardless of poopy people.

welll i hope all is well and that home is a happy place it was weird the other day i was talking with another elder and he asked how much time i have left can you beleive that i only have 5 transfers left. ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. well i have to loose alot of weight before i can come home and go to the meat market over there in idaho. I have been thinking about joining the air-force and becoming a fire fighter therein.... lots of ideas flotin around in the trusty nogin.

well i love you guys and will talk to you later

love your son
