9/12 email

hey mom,
sounds like you guys are doing just fine at the lake without me. Leah is such a silly little girl. i often wish that i had her here with me so i could get my Leah dose. i am sure that you will do fine at the workout, i know that you are one thta pushes yourself to the max so that should be no problem for you. more than likely i will not see anything that low, unless i serve in big bear during the winter. they have snow there. the hard part would be not going skiing... i was able to buy 2 pairs of shoes, and when we finally find a store that is open i am going to buy a water bottle, and maybe some shirts. turns out white shirts do not react well to blood on them. so i have ruined 75% of the ones i came out with... sorry, guess i am just a bleeder. sounds like Leah must be one of your kids. totally full of imagination. i hope the rest of the week goes well for you guys. do not forget to talk to the people around you about the gospel ;) members is where the real missionary work happens. and it makes me sad to think that my own family might not be doing any missionary work. i know when i look back i wish that i had done more. today we are emailing from the victorville library because we where trying to find a target down here but they where all closed! now we are going to have to play what we do for the rest of the day off the hip. other than that nothing exiting this week. hopefully i have something fun to tell you about next week.
love you

9/8 email

i got an email from a girl that has been reading my blog. she said that she is coming out into my mission soon. she reported to the MTC on the 7th. she thanked me for being upbeat, and said that i helped to calm her nerves. guess great things come from small and simple means.

i love you mom. sorry i dont email as much as you wish i did.

hey mom,
so i was not able to email on monday because of a temple trip that we did today. today i am going to buy shoes. in the Book of Mormon i am going through for my second time and i am in Alma 20. for service, we help out every week at an art studio on wednesday, and we sort clothes for foster children on fridays. church starts at 10 but we are there at 8:30 for ward council.
