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!!!!
Elder Coats
