hey fam.
i dont know why you guys havent got my emails for weeks!!!? it makes me mad!! if you dont get this one im gonna have to hurt someone!
we have been good here and were being blessed with baptisms! we found some good families this week and were working hard to teach as much as possible each day.
ty now in his senior year in high school. yes!! he is gonna be done with school before we know it. especially because he only goes until 1 oclock in the after noon. tell him to save all the moola that he is gonna earn this year and when i get home he can buy of us both street cruisers and will do a little traveling....ha. im glad that jud is stilll enjoying his new job and im sure that he is making a lot better than he was when he was at the plastic factory. did he get his toyota up and going again?
im excited to see ariens new house when it gets done. thats gonna be cool to have her and justin close.
so mom, you and gram did a little road trippin to black foot huh? i bet that was fun to hang out in stephs new house and relax a little.
dad decided not to buzz his head this year then. i guess its right, he usually cuts it every 2 years..jk.
i love you guys. im still in a little state of shock that mike and kolby are home from their missions now because i remember the day that they left like it was yesterday! there already getting a start on life. let me know how the home coming talk goes. if possible, tape it on that little recorder that arien had for college and send it to me later. i would like to hear it. then i could send you guys a tape letter later....?
i havent got the package yet but its just cause im clear out here in the boonies and letters dont get here until someone comes out here. i should be getting it this weekend. im hoping for some goods.

Letter for August 19th,2009
Dear Family,
Another transfer is now over and we are up and running already in the new transfer. i got a new companion today named elder s. rocha. seems like a cool guy, a little quiet but ill do my best to fix that. im staying in this area (Dal Col) in ponta grossa and my filho (jr.comp) got transfered back to curitiba.
so last week the email to you guys didnt go right so i ended up sending it a little late.
i couldnt hardly believe the picture of ol kolb!!! he is way skinny!! im sure that he will already hit the gym as soon as possible to get it all back to normal. mike is home now also. its is so cool to think that they are returned missionaries now and have completed two years of service to the lord. tell them that i love them ( in a friend sort of way....) did they go visit you mom?
ty and air will be back to school here in a couple days!! what joy!! i know that ty wont be too excited but it is his last year and he should enjoy every second of it. ill be home when he is fresh out of school. its gonna be great!!! arien, you let the little children know who is boss and dont be afraid to bring out the wooden spoon when needed.... i know that mom taught you well!
mom, how are the battle wounds from the surgery? are you getting all the strength back that you need? make sure to keep the barbeque grill up to standards this summer. dad still riding the ol white treker to work everyday? im sure the summer is keeping him really busy.
we had a baptism this last week that gave a little scare to everyone... lucia, the lady that was baptized didnt keep her nose plugged when she was coming out of the water... so she came out gasping for air. her son baptized her, which was really nice but he forgot to tell her plug her nose hard.. it went well in the end, she just had to let out a few screams to get her lungs working again.
i was called to be a district leader also. i forgot to tell ya. just a few more responsibilities to handle and a tiny bit more stress. its gonna be good though and im gonna continue to learn alot.
i was glad to hear that loyal is a little bit better this week. grandma is a great nurse and she cooks like she is cooking for a king. she is great! let loyal know that im thinking of him.
kameryn is gonna be a great little athlete, the rate that she is going. robbie also. tell her good luck with the tryout this week. kris and aunt steph still enjoying their new houses??
i love you guys so much and im so glad to get the good news from you each week. always be happy and remember that families are the most important thing for our heavenly father!!!
have a great week!!!!

Going...going...
Hey Fam!
we're at the end of another transfer that has gone by really fast and i'm continuing to learn more and more each day as i walk the streets and teach all those that accept our wonderful message.
we have a baptism set this saturday that should go really well and the lady getting baptized is really excited. she is the mom of a recent convert and has been going to church for a long time now. she has really gained a testimony of the truthfulness of the gospel and i know that it will have a huge impact on her life. one of her sons was shot and killed a few years ago because of drugs and she was really shaken up about it for a long time. we taught her about the plan of salvation and how her desire of having her son learning about the gospel and living a straight life will be fullfilled in the spirit world. she was so happy to know that her son would be able to learn even though he is no longer on this earth. it was a really great experience.
if you take any pictures of kolby at the bluebird, you got to send them to me. it has been such a long time since i've seen that ol kid. mike will be coming home next week and im sure that his family is way excited to see him again. let me know how their homecoming talks go. if possible record them and send it to me....
im so happy for kris and hope that things continue to go well for her.
thats cool that jud and ty did the arena cross again this year. did jud try any crazy stunt at the finish line this year?? ty is really getting good racing! i know that he has really enjoyed his summer. its crazy to think that he is heading into his last year of school now.
arien is gonna be busy busy again teaching and catching the sicknesses of all the little kids that are in her class. (jk) she is gonna be a great teacher and each year she will learn and grow alot.
hows pops doing? did he shave his head this summer or is he still holding strong with the skullet.
mom good luck with the talk this sunday and you can use any experience that ive had so far including the getting robbed my 3rd week in the field and knowing no portuguese and trying to teach the guy robbing us about the restored gospel because it wasn't his fault of understanding nothing that was going on until he showed me his gun. i know that it will go well and it will be cool to hear about the other elders serving from the linrose ward.
let loyal know that i am thinking of him and grandma. he has sure been a huge example to me and i sure enjoy listening to all of his great stories.
i love you guys!! Have an awesome week!!!
