Gotta Love Chicago! May 18, 2011


hi hi!
that sounds so fun to have devin be your buddy around the house! isn't he cool? haha he is such a hard worker! i've learned so much from his example. actually our whole family is full of hard workers that i have learned from. i am probably the laziest out of the family but i'm changing that! well i'm trying to haha. the mission definately helps out a ton. it's like ya'll sent me to a church boot camp! haha okay maybe not quite but i'm grateful for all that the mission has taught me and help me become.
anyways, that is cool that you got six flags passes! it'll be a good thing to do to relax from the stress of planning the wedding stuff. how is that going btw? i want to hear about the plans and what not. amber said the bridesmaides dresses are done yeah? thats cool. i guess i don't really know what to ask about the wedding being a guy, but i want to know about it cuz it stinks i'm not apart of it.
but it's okay because i'm on the mission sharing the gospel. it brings so much excitement and happiness. i'm not even sure how to explain the aweseome feelings you get when you teach the gospel or testify of truth. i guess the book or mormon prophets and missionaries said it best when they said their souls are filled with joy. that's what i get to feel. yeah sometimes it's hard because people don't want to hear or accept it, but when you find that one person who has been prepared, it makes it all worth it. we should have a baptism coming up and he;'s still doing well.
well one of the women that we baptized has moved back to mexico. she was here visiting family. the good thing is that her brother and his wife are members and they moved back with her. her brother was part of the elders quorum presidency from my first ward! it was so funny seeing him and knowing that i was now teaching his sister up here on the north side! it was cool. luckily she said she will be coming back to visit next year. around may!! that's when hopefully we'll be here visiting chicago! cool huh?? ya'll should get to meet her. the other woman we baptized has been on vacation but she just got back! and she is doing great. she is going to start working with her family to share the gospel with them. i gave each of them a picture frame with a photo of their baptism with all their family there. they seemed to really like it.
i love you all! can you believe that david barton should be home now or really soon from his mission?? and caleb has not even 5 months left on his! time flies.
