hi family, mom dad, sisters brothers, dog, uncles aunts, cousins, grandparents, distant relatives that we dont know of that somehow have access to this letter i am about to send home,

how are you?

you know i am just dandy, sorry it is a little late to be emailing. We only have one computer that functions... so i said i will go last because i dont really have too many people to write.

I am doing great. weather is getting colder! i dont really need anything for the moment. though if you were to buy me a shirt could you get a size smaller? yeah thats right i have lost weight! i guess not having a car is a blessing...... haha

Dad you are one inspired man, i will tell you why. I read that very talk this last week and i was so touched by the spirit. I have been studying a lot about the Prophet Joseph Smith. I listened to one of my all-time favorite talks, "Profile of a Prophet" if you havent read it.... (as President Monson would say) READ IT!!!!!!!!!!! lets just say you cannot listen to this talk and not know that Joseph was indeed called of God to be the Prophet of the Restoration. My favorite part of the entire address is the end. Elder Brown says:(and i am paraphrasing here) but undergirding and overarching all the rest I know that Joseph Smith was a Prophet. By the wisperings of the Holy Ghost one can come to that same knowledge.

Dont you just love that? It is the same for me. I have learned so much about him on my mission. But all these things that i have learned can neither give nor take my testimony away. I know that he is a prophet because i have heard the Holy Ghost say to me that he is. I know it and i cannot deny it, and i shall never be able to do so. 

this week was great

remember when i told you about Sergio? well he has a date to be baptized!!!!!!!!! wooooohhoooooooo yeah i know how great is that! It was a great lesson. his son even sat in and so next week we are going to commit him too. I am so happy for him i cant wait to teach him next week. thank you for your prayers on his behalf. 

Mommy thanks so much for all you do for me. I am very grateful for you. I just felt like i needed to tell you that. i am sorry i dont write too much. I have never really been good and expressing what i feel inside but i want you to know that you are the best and have always been the mother that your children needed. i talk about you often so the lads must think that i am a wus or a mommas boy or somthing like that! 

You are all amazing. Happy thanksgiving. May you all remember that the greatest gift we have been given is He who was born in a manger, and He who died on a cross. It is Jesus the Christ, the Son of God. I will always be eternally grateful for Him. 

Godspeed my family

all is well in zion

My friends,

life is beautiful. especially when you find 3 new investigators in one week. that is what i like to call blessings from the Lord. Fantastic isn't it. 

I am doing well 

i just have to say thank you so so soso so sos o s much to my sister nat and my brother justin for sending me the best little gifts that i have received in a while. You know how much i love music. 

It was so great to read some mumford and sons lyrics. in fact i convinced my 4 man to sing timshel with me. it didn't sound like mumford haha but we tried our best. 

It is snowing pretty hard here. we have got a ton of snow everywhere. It is completely white. i love it. for now. haha

i am doing good on advair and other supplies. thank you for everything

I will now tell you about our new investigator. his name is Sergio. he is from mexico. He is so cool. i gave him a call because we got his information from a team in montreal. He said we could come on over. we had such a great lesson with him. i asked if he wanted to be baptized on the first lesson just like a good PMG missionary should and he said yes!! next lesson we are going to give him a date to be baptized. he could be a member by the end of the year! please pray for this guy

we had another great lesson with 2 other new amis. We gave them a book of mormon and they said they are going to read and pray about it. so we are excited for them as well.

we got to go to montreal for a new missionary training for my comp. it was great. i got to see a lot of missionaries i haven't seen in a while. and we even got to have an interview with president. it was so cool. we both wanted to talk to him because we had some concerns so we went into his office and talked for a while. it was great. 

he told us both that we are going to be bishops and i laughed and he said thats what i did when my mission pres said the same thing on my mission. haha

all is well i love you all  very very much

Everywhere you go, there's a tree in the grand hotel one in the park aswell, the sturdy kind that doesn't mind the snoWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

wow

so this week was good, i jammed with a black guy. It was really fun, he played the accordion, and i played my mandolin. We had a good jam session together. he is all about playing gospel music, so i said i would love to jam with him. He said ok then he actually came and we played some songs. Unfortunately he is not too too interested in the Church. But it was fun to play some music. 

it is 430 right now and completely dark. winter is upon us. it is official there is snow. it melted though. so maybe tomorrow it will stick.

we dont have too too much time left for emails today for we have to make some preparations for this next week. 

But let it be known that i am well my companion is great, i am having fun!. we are working hard. get to play some music tonight for family home evening! i love you all! so much. stay tuned for next week

Hey family!

so how are you all doing! i am just great. i am happy and healthy just like always. my advair is doing great thanks for asking. my christmas package is coming up that is exciting! i just have one request, a cardigan, a black one would be great! thanks mommy i think i will be great for this winter my coat is sweet. 

we had a great week, i did an exchange with the rimouski team, they are far far away, and guess what! justin got a marble there many moons ago and i visited the same family and i got the marble! only he knows what the marble is and i cant tell any of you what it means but just you know what i mean!

hey mom i ate like 3 vegetables last week! i know that is cool!

we had stake conference this week. it was really good we talked about how to use social media to do missionary work. we are going to try a little bit harder with our facebook account to invite others to come unto Christ. But what is more effective than the missionaries using facebook is the members using facebook! it is so cool seeing the different creative ways that we can share our testimonies on the web. i think i know what family home evening will be about this week, winky face dad!

we have a sister in our district that broke her toe. she was having a rough time so we gave her a blessing and we saw a miracle. before the blessing they said that it was obvious that her toe was broken but after the blessing the next day the doctor said it wasnt, that it never had been broken. It was so cool to see the priesthood of Jesus Christ working with her faith and ours to heal her foot. I have a testimony of God`s love for his children

I know that Jesus is the Christ.. I know it and no one can make me think any other way. I know why i am a missionary. Sometimes it is harder to remember, when rough times come or when you lose the desire, but something always comes back into my mind, It is a quote from Preach My Gospel, As your understanding of the Atonement grows your desire to share the Gospel will increase. I have seen that a lot on my mission

I love you all

I love Jesus Christ
