Hello everyone!
Its me again. Things are doing pretty well over here. The work is progressing forward. The beauty of seeing the mercies, wisdom and infinite love the Lord has for His children is simply wonderful. As I think on this I feel calm and happy inside. How blessed I am. To be in assocation with servants of the Lord who live in accordance with the laws set forth is wonderful for it has had its effect on me. I am thankful to be here. Its has been getting pretty cold over here and about a week ago there was snow in the place called "Hanford" above and the mountains below us. We experienced some frost but that was about it. I thought it was interesting that the snow strom went around us or at least that is what it appeard to be. Personally I think the Lord was very kind and cognsent of us. Well I might as well tell you all what happend:). No nothing bad I assure you. Remember me telling you that something really awesome and cool was about to happen up here? Well here it is. On November 14th Saturday 2009 Elder Jeffery R. Holland visited the entire Washington Kennewick Mission at 2:15pm! It was one of the most awesome experiences I have had on my mission, shish! in my life! I got to shake his hand and look straight into his eye. It was wonderfully teiorrfying! Sorry I stink at spelling. He TORE us down and built us right up! I will NEVER forget it! Well I got to go but I love you all so much! Tell me whats going on on your guys' end. I love you guys and tell me how Dad is doing And you to :) Love ya! Bye!

Hello Everybody
I appoligize for not writing you, I should say that the letter did not get sent to you. Appearently I sent it to an address that did not exsist due to my mispelling. I sent it off just today. I want you all to know that I am doing fine and I love you all. I just wanted to let you know that the reason you have been hearing little from is because I have been emptying my inbox on myldsmail.net. It has been a little longer then usual because I have to copy and paste alot. Every transfer changes alot of things in your area but this one has changed alot. Much of the people here have been swaped out. But I am greatful I have been kept here because there is much to do and I love the people here. This is the first place that I think I can call my first area. For several reasons but the most part it is because this is my first area that I have been left in. As such much of our succsess has been pending on how well I know the area and the people and so has proved to be a growing experience for me being like a catalyste or.... whatever :). I know the gospel is true and I love you. Tell me whats going everybody. I love to hear from you if you got a moment. Oh and Mom I want you to know you are not naging I appreciate you writing those sort of things very much it has helped me stay grounded many times. Thank you for all you do Mom. And thank you all for all you do. Well I'm stickin' around with my companion from last transfers which is awesome because we had a blast! Well I love you guys. Here is my basic day.
6:30 wake up and work out (Grrr I hate this part in the morning:) )
7:00 shower and eat
8:00 Personal study (My time to be spiritally Nurished)
9:00 Companionship study (share what we learn with each other)
10:00 get out and work (Sometimes we tract)
12:00 Lunch (sometimes we go out)
1:00 Out again(many times we stop by appiontments previously set and others we just drop by out of the blue)
5:00 Dinner (usually at a members house)
7:00 Exchanges( see people we've set appiontments with and others we just drop by and try to have a lesson)
9:00 get home and have "Sacred 30" and plan
10:30 in bed and lights out (Yay! ZZZZZzzzzzz)
I support you Mom and Dad. I know that what you both are doing is an extreamly important thing for our country but just know it means a heck of alot more to all of us. You go Mom and Dad!!!!! I love you both!

Hi everybody!
How is everyone doing? I am soo glad that everyone is starting to feel better and are getting better.
Hey Mom I will send a package to you soon. In it contains actual pictures and cds that have pictures on them. I feel really bad I haven't sent them yet because there are so many pictures on there and there is one picture that is of me with the Portland temple in the background. I took this 4 1/2 to 6 months ago. Sorry about that but they are comin now. I'll be sure to take more pictures of me and others. I'm sorry I was procrastinating and somewhere along the line I came under the impression that the plaque was already assembled. And I feel bad I didn't send them after the many times you said you wanted to have some pictures. Well they're a comin.
I love you guys. I'm pround of you Dad. I'm pround of all of you! You are ALL making outstanding strides in your lives and are setting a huge example for me! What a blessing to have such a family as mine! I want you all to know that I look up to you I really do. You give me such comfort to know you are all mine for all eternity and I am yours. I am sorry if I failed to reply back to you any of you but I'm gonna try to get back to you. Thank you for your example. Thank you for your love and support it really is appreacited. I am greatful for the gosple of Jesus Christ. It makes me free. Of this there is no doubt. May we all be free and not be ensnared by the traps set by satan. Remember we are all gonna be there. A promise is a promise Love you all!
Talk to you later!

Hi everybody!
Sorry I just sent you a message but the site "myldsmail.net" bumped me off and erased my message grrr oh well. thats okay. I'll just paraphrase.
I love you all sooo much. I'm sorry that the message I sent you didn't go through last time. How are you all? Hows Mom and Dad? Hows your health Dad? And Mom how are ya doin? Things are going well over here. Its raining and I love it. I love rain as you can all tell:). Well did anybody get hurt when the trees fell over? Is everything alright?
Would you send me some more pictures of the family and all. That would be wonderful if you could. I gonna start e-mailing you all again I feel bad that haven't for sometime. Just wanted to let you know.
Well something awesome is gonna happen over here but I can't tell you what until afterwards but beleive me I'll tell ya when it does. Well I got to get gettin.
The church IS true. The fullness of the gospel has been revealed. How greatflul I am for that. I testify that it is true. ANYONE can know for themselves. Isn't that awesome!!! I invite all of us to share the gospel with one person this week. I promise you that you will be even happier than you are right now. The spirit of this wonderful work will permeate through you as you testify of Jesus Christ and His divine Sonship. That His church has been restored upon the earth again. I invite you to share this and promise you that you will be glad you did no matter the out come. Its Ironic almost how that we find the greastest happiness and joy from serving others and not ourselves. I would have thought it was the other way around! Heh but you know what now that I've trod alittle of that path Im glad that it is this way. I know this is true and I invite us to do this and I know that our Heavenly Father will bless us for it.
Thank you all for being my family. I really am being serious. Thank you and lets love each other tell we're black and blue (figurtively). Don't want anybody passing out that wouldn't be good:).
I love you all and hope to hear from you again and I hope you have a GREAT day! Bye.
Love
