Hey Pops,

Things are going all right. Our numbers are a little down but we are going to try harder this transfer. Colby was excited about the cloud cover. He told be it was about -3trillion degrees the other day haha. Holy cow that was a long marathon! Was it expensive? Thats good for Mom. That should take the strange hours down to a manageable level but unfortunately the stress will only grow. The weather is strange. Im either boiling to death or getting dumped on and still being hot. The teaching is all right. The problem with it is that nobody understands the message. They accept us but they dont understand that their salvation is on the line. Oh well we just keep going and praying thats all we can do. We have not yet gotten that influx but im way excited for it! its gonna be awesome to have more help. Maybe then we can reduce the number of branches and actually have wards. The second coming is close but we still have one heck of a ride ahead of us. Its only gonna get harder. The christmas package arrived on saturday. Im excited for Christmas :) Love you Dad

Ps my pday has been moved to monday

Dear Mom,

John in a good mood? Wow thats a miracle. How little was the dog? If you had to call the police it couldnt have been that little. Maybe it was Jacob in diguise ;) Glad to know that you are doing well in your position and hearing what he said its a done deal. You have the job :) Dad became his mechanic? Mechanic for what? So he is opening another theater huh? That should help. Did they finally close down the eagle river theater? That place was absoloute junk. 

Things are going here at the end of the world. Its really hot and raining a lot but im living through it. I dont have any digestive problems out of the norm. Meaning just being a gas bag. I have been drinking the water since day one and have not had a problem. They have a good water company here so dont worry about it. The package arrived on saturday im excited for Christmas :) I still am receiving very few letters. Can you inform everybody to put Brazil on the letters a lot of the letters end up in El Salvador. Any way time and money are short these days. Oh by the way my pday got moved to Monday just so you know. Love you mom :)

Dear Mom,

Thats good that you got new carpet. What color is it?

I dont think you have to worry about losing the spot. The theater never has attracted very responsible people to work there so you should be very safe. Kasi had her baby already? It seems like last week i found out she was pregnant. I will have to ask about the Christmas call. I expected President to say something about it in his email this week but he didnt. I will give somebody a call and then look for a way to do it. The transfer is coming up so we should get letters and supposedly packages but we will see. Everybody kind of forgets about us out here. Just be patient with Colby. He needs to pray about it and receive an answer. Thats the only thing that will get him ready. Tell him that i encourage him to pray. I would email him but he doesnt respond very often. So the chemo is working well with Jake? Thats good. How is Uncle Aaron and Aunt Lisa?

Another calling huh? Teaching the young kids is always...Fun. Oh good im glad that Nathan decided to go. Ive heard that there are a lot of rich members in Georgia so he should fit right in.

Im having some second thoughts about liking the heat. I forgot how hot it can get. I dont know if i want to deal with all that wind either. Good luck and i hope it snows some more. Any way gotta go this lan house is very expensive and i dont want to run the risk of paying to much.
Bye love you :)
