The Fam,

So what's up? I am just chillin in my mansion of a house (see video and pictures below.) Getting ready to go to bed. So I'm sending home a disc with all my pictures on it so far. There are a bunch of pictures from the MTC and my first change her with Elder Morales. I took a couple videos too. One of our house and a couple others of of some sweet waterfalls we got to go to one P-day. There are some pretty sweet pictures, I hope you enjoy them.

So yeah, the mission is pretty sweet. It has its ups and downs, but right now I am doing great. So yeah, I'm loving it. I just thought I would write a little letter to go along with my pictures. So today was pretty sweet, I got to go on divisions with a gringo. That was awesome, we worked out butts off and had a good time doing it. His name is Elder Powers. We taught thin one little family about the importance of the scriptures and Prophets. Then we got to the subject of Joseph Smith. While we were teaching and testifying of Joseph Smith the spirit wasso strong. It was awesome. Also this morning while I was studying I read my farewell talk and it just reminded me again how awesome my famaily is. You are all so awesome and I am so grateful for all of you.

Things are going good here in the great land of the Lamanites. The mission has been such a sweet experience. I have had some experiences that I will always remember -- good and bad, but the good out weigh the bad, that's for sure.

My testimony has grown a ton and I have come to realize how much of a blessing the gospel is and have come to receive a sure testimony that the Book of Mormon is true.

Tell Talia thanks for the package. A few more things that would be cool if you sent them are church music (All the EFY music is in his Christmas package,)Disney music. Can you send another moleskin journal? Mine is filling up quick. Pictures are always good to get. But if you send picures, you should send a littel picture album thing too, for me to put the pictures in. Also, the book Our Search for Happiness, I think I left mine at the MTC, and pretty much anything else you feel like sending, I would love to have it. For now this is all I can think of that I want. Oh, I still need a picture of Trisha! She is the only person I don't have a picture of.

So yeah everyone take care. I love you allso much, it is unreal. I am so grateful for this gospel and for the plan of salvation, for our opportunity to a be a forever family. I know that Jesus Christ lives and that he suffered for our sins. And he also knows how we feel. No matter what we go through, whe we feel we can't take it anymore, just stop and think about Jesus Christ, He's been there before.

I know the church is true and I am so grateful for it. Thank you everyone for always being good examples and for helping me get on a mission. It really is the best thing I could be doing right now. It hasn't been easy, but I have recieved so many blessings and answers to my prayers. Thanks for everything, especially your love and support, and for your prayers.

Keep in touch, I always love hearing from the fam. I have the best family in the whole world, hands down, no one else even comes close.

I love you all and thanks for everything.

Your Bro, Bro-in-law, and son, uncle, whatever....
