Hey Dad

Well its good to hear from you today i thought that i wasn't going to get any mail for the 2nd week when i checked my other email and there wasn't any thing there. Well this week has been really good. we finished teaching David and he has his interview today at 4 30 I'm really really excited for him and the branch here in DB. They are getting so excited about missionary work now that they are seeing a white guy come into the Church. I really think that you are going to get so really good things come out of this baptism. I kinda nervous about the interview too though. Its my first real investigator that i taught all the way through and stuff like that but I'm sure that he will do just fine. I have really seen some answers to prayers lately its been so amazing to be here where i am at the time i am its just feels like its all coming together. Last week we had to meet with David in a Starbuck coffee shop and teach the 2nd and 3rd and after that i knew we had to get a new place to teach him but there wasn't any where that we could go. i prayed alot the next couple of days to find somewhere else to teach. that was Friday on Sunday the Sloan Family invited us for dinner. We went over and had some really nice Mexican food oh it was so goooood. well we were talking about David and Then Bro Sloan told us that we could use his conference room in his building in the middle of central. so on Tuesday and Wednesday we meet in a really nice conference room on the 37th floor of the landmark building. i know that the lord answered my pray and got us a room to meet David in. I am so grateful for the opportunity to pray and have our prayers answered. Sounds like Jake is doing really good in football i can't believe its already football season the so cool. i miss that alot.thats good that Jake got alot of time. Whats the schedule for the season? is Dan going to shoot something this year or is he going to be the only pro-archer that has shoot anything with his bow. Good to hear that Moms cheerleaders stuff is good. Dad make sure you video tape the football game not the cheerleaders. well i got to go ill talk to you later oh yeah could you send some pics that would be great thanks love you all

Hey Dad,

well its good to get some mail this week even though it weds. So katie getting a big head about what shes been doing. thats not so good. And you want to get her to read the BOM. Well maybe you talk to her about how she fells when she reads the Harry Potter books than talk to her about how she should feel when she reads the BOM talk about the spirit. then ask her what she learns form the HP books then what she can learn from the bom. There are also some BOMstory books and i'm sure Desert Book got something for kids to get them to read the BOM. Well i got some cool news this week Presdent Benson the branch presdent in Discovery Bay was asked if the DB insider The Discovery Bay magizen could interview me and my comp. to see what we are doing here and stuff like that. yesterday i got to talk with alot of people high on in the chruch to get this aprovered by the area athurity and that was fun. the interview will be on friday. im prettty excited about this and im hope that this articae will help our work and exceptace in DB with the white people. it should be good. Well ive got about ten pic left on my card so ill finish that than send it home just send it back when you are finished with it. can you push mom for her conversion stroy i could really use that i could have used it 6 weeks ago when i asked for it. i would just like a little help for home thats it. and what about that Joseph Smith stuff that could be good too. thanks. well the reat of the work is going just about normal nothing really big Just the same ol stuff.
