hey fam
hope you guys had a great easter week!! i love that easter ham
that mom always makes and the 7up salad. this year i was able
to understand the true meaning of easter a little better and the
love that the savior has for us. it was a great week!! the general
conference was fantastic! imagine if all the inhabitants of the earth
would watch the general conference what a difference it would make.
the talks were all really good and of course Jefferey R. Holland laid
down a powerful talk as always. the baptismal meeting went great
and the people that were baptized will for sure remember their baptisms
forever. i got the easter package this week and we have been
enjoying it. especially the seeds. the sweets have been set aside
cause i just cant eat chocolate anymore... the ward here has been
really good to us and just about everyday there was someone offering
us more goodies to take home with us. there is also a good cheap pizza
place in our area that we have been enjoying. im hoping to put on a little
weight again before i get sent home.... speaking of that, the office called
me yesterday asking where i would like to land. we call this telephone
call the `ligação do mau` "call of the bad"... i told them that the salt lake
airport would be the best so its all set up. i think that it is the best place
to come home from a mission. its gonna be great seeing you guys
at the bottom of the escalator...
tell uncle brent and aunt steph that i send them the best. its good to
know that at least she didnt suffer.i think i remember talking with her a
few times when we would go up there for thanksgiving some years. she
was a really nice lady. i still remember grandpa bill and what a good guy
he was also. it has been a good while since he passed away. it is gonna
be really great to get to talk to him again some day and get to know him
even better. im really excited to see arien and justins new house. i might
just have to live with them for a while to help them break it in a little.... im
gonna leave a lot of my stuff here for the trip home. i dont plan on carrying
home a bunch of dirty mission shirts and sun-faded mission pants. my time
is getting pretty short here and i know that it is gonna just keep on flying by
like it has. i got to throw it in to overdrive and finish out strong.
i love you guys and i hope that you all have a great week!!
