Letters and Pictures - June 17, 2013

 

 

Hi Mommy!

That's cool that you gave a talk. I bet you did an awesome job. You are basically me but cooler so I can't imagine you did a bad job at all. Kels told me about Z growing into his head as well haha that's good to hear. I haven't checked the mail yet so I don't know about the package. I did get the letter from Grandpa and Grandma, though. It was really nice. He had some amazing things to tell me and it meant a lot. I think I'll write him a letter back tonight. I'm really grateful I have such a good relationship with my grandparents because I don't think that is that common of a thing. Of course he sent me $20.  ha ha

 

This week has been ok. One really cool investigator named Morgan dropped us which was kinda a surprise because she said she believed the Book of Mormon to be true. But we found a part-member family named the Bugalas a little while ago and they are the absolute coolest people ever. Justin is the husband and he is a less active member and his wife's name is Mary Lou and she isn't a member. They are 21 and 20 and haven't even been married a year but they're an awesome couple. We have been teaching them all week and Mary is on date for baptism on July 6th, the same day that our other investigators Ashley and Vadim are getting married. 

 

The Bugalas seriously are the coolest!  In fact today we spent the day with them. Justin works on base at Fort Lewis and took us there to see the helicopters that he works on and we hung out on base for a while.

Warriors in pros and we're going to battle.

We know we're legit or we'd be in Seattle.

 

 

 

 Every time we come over to their house they are so excited to see us. Justin is so excited about getting back into church. He just bought two new suits and church clothes and has been working with us to help his wife get an answer that the Book of Mormon is true. Being a missionary is the absolute coolest because of people like them.

 

Have a great week. I love and miss you!

Hey Pa!

So I hear you're copying my style? Don't blame you. Mom told me that you got the same suit as me. My week has been pretty good. The weather was great which is good because Thursday was park day so I was on bike. I was also on bike most of Friday because the zone leaders were in Tacoma so they needed the car.

 

I do work out a tiny bit. We have some weights in our apartment and I sometimes try to work out in the morning in an effort to be obedient but its hard. I haven't seen Tom either since mothers day but I gave him your number and told him to call you.

 

I also got Grandpas letter. It was really cool. Grandpa has always made a big impact on my life and he's definitely one of my heroes so it meant a lot to me to get that letter. Grandma sent me a letter too which was really cute. I have the best grandparents and I am so grateful for them.

 

 

Thanks for being such a cool dad and for being such a good example. I liked being able to reflect yesterday at church about what a good dad you are and how blessed I have been to have good parents like you and mom. Have a good week and keep me updated as always.
