Happy Easter

hey MOM

we had another great week!! we now have a good group of people to
help and teach about the truth and were having lots of suc
cess in the
area. im really excited for the weekend!! General Conference!!!!!
this weekend is always a looked forward to weekend on the mish.
general conference is better than the super bowl to missionaries!!
its so good to here the talks from the 12 apostolos and our prophet.
i have really gained a love for the church magazines during my
time here. every house that ya pass thru has a huge stack of liahonas
and ensigns so i have been reading a lot and i especially like the
conference ensigns. we get to go to all four sessions of conference
and then also the pr
iesthood session so we really get our batteries
charged for the months to come. its gonna be really fun also cause
in the interval of the conference were gonna have a couple of baptisms.
in other words, this weekend is gonna be a GREAT one.
im so glad that everyone is doing good back home. i knew that ty

wouldn
't be able to stay off the motor cycle for too long. its smart to
ride a four wheeler like he is gonna do to get the feel of it again.
is he getting to be pretty good buddies with ol brody purser?
i had a fun time with that kid moving pipe at brians. tell him i said hi.
thats nice that it is already nice enough for jud to get his bike out and ride.
i know that it is one of the things that jud looks forward to all winter so i
know that he really enjoyed blowing the dust off his boots and hitting the ramp.
is arien and justins house all done now? from the pictures that she sent me it
looked like it was pretty much under way. that is gonna be a sweet deal
when they get it all done.
so does dad think that i could probably work with him for a while or
pick up a little portable toilet rout
e when i get home?? if not im gonna have
to get hunting for a job quick when i get home cause i got a few good months
before i head to college.... college?... its gonna be crazy!
i liked that singing card that you sent me mom. the "i love you, a bushel
and a peck" . i think im driving my companion a little insane with that one.
i decided to just listen to it when he is taking a shower to not cause problems...
its sure is a catchy little song. i reme
mber when granny used to sing
that song.. good times.
we had a really cool experi
ence this week. we were walking down the
street the other day and a younger guy called after us and asked us what
is was that we do? we were heading to another appointment so we ended
up marking for the next day to teach him and his family. we went back the
next day and he wasnt home but we talked his sister into letting us share a
message with her instead. we found out that she has been having a really
hard life and that she gave up drugs and is wanting to do the right things to
straighten her life out. we taught a really good spiritual lesson and she really
felt it and acce
pted a baptismal goal. we still need to teach the rest of the fam
but we
're excited with her and the desire she has to follow what is right.
we have come across a few really good people this last little while.
só bênça!!
i love you guys and i hope that you have a great week!"!!
