Thanks for the letter man and the little up date! Sorry I never
wished you a happy birthday! How old are you now 26!? I was going to wish you a
happy birthday on Christmas, but I forgot! Sorry! Thank you for the
example that you are to me! One day I want a family just like
yours! Love you bro!

Yes they do (celebrate New Years)! They pretty much do what we
Americans do. But I forgot to tell you what we did! We actually went to the
beach again and hung out there for a few hours with President Thompson and all
the Missionaries so that was a lot of fun. (That was New Years Day) New Years
Eve we got permission to stay up until Midnight so we played "uno"
until midnight and then went to bed! :)
I do not think anyone here knows who (Martin Luther King) is.
Writing down the goal is what always has helped me the most! I
really like that quote that says something like goals not written down are only
dreams and dreams only come true in fairy tails. Or something
like... basically the point is that we need to write down our goals. That
is something that has helped me because as soon as I write it down then I just
feel a little bit more bound to it and I actually need to do it!
We are teaching several people. We have one man who’s name is tchimba (yes it is spelled right :)
You pronounce it like Chimba though). He actually passed our house one day and
wanted to know if he could cut our grass for some money, so we let him and when
he was done he was walking away and one of the Elders called him back and
started to talk with him about the gospel and he happed to live in our area. So
we started to teach him and he is progressing really fast he has a baptismal
date for 9th of February. Also with
the other guy who I told you about on Chirstmas (Adilson). He is doing really well now. He had a period of time
where he started to waiver a little bit, but he is back on track and hopeful
will be baptized here in a month or two. Also we are teaching another lady
named Stela. She is really awesome.
She has gone to several different churches her entire life and so she has
several doctrines that are planted in her mind that are not true. Almost every
principle that we teach she has some kind of question or doubt or something,
which is fantastic! because it shows us that she actually is understanding what
we are teaching her. We just have to teach her really slowly, but I feel
like she will be baptized in the end. So as of right now just one tchimba
for the 9th of February, but we should have several more here in the coming
week or two.
I am not sure who told Preston he was not a shooter, Preston is
probably one of the best shooters out of all of us. Also basketball is not
nearly as fun especially when you get older if you do not shoot and score! (I
know from experience :)
Do you know if his coach told him that? Or who told him that? Who
ever it was (maybe it was just himself) tell
Preston not to believe it and got out shoot! Even if he wasn’t a shooter
the only way you are going to learn is if you try and if you shoot during the
games! Even if you miss a lot in the beginning you will only get better and
better little by little and by the time he is in High school he will be a
fantastic shooter!
Pres!
Hey man mom told me that you said that you were not a shooter! Who told you that!!!? Do not believe them!
You can probably shooter better then anyone in the family! If you start
shooting now in games you are only going to get better and better even if you
miss a lot at the first, but by the time you are in High School then you will
be a really good shooter! So in you next game go out there
and shoot!! :) I wish I would have shot more when I was younger so that
when I got to High School I was a better shooter then I was! So go out there
and shoot lights out! Even if you do not make them all or even if you do not
make any! Go out there and Shoot! Love you man!!! Keep up all the great work that
you are doing and work your rear end off!!! I love you so much man!!!!!

Dad and Mom,
That is fantastic Dad! All of these business opportunities that you
are having! The Lord really is blessing us as a Family. If you guys could pray
for me that would be great! This past week has been really hard for me
especially the past few days! I feel like Satan is just really tempting me very
hard and it really has been a struggle. I started to do better last night and
little bit better this morning, but it really has just been a struggle with
strong doubts being thrown at me and I am doing everything I can to avoid them,
but it has just been a really hard mentally and spiritually. I feel like I have been doing a really good
job and I have felt the Spirit alot and now I feel like the Lord is allowing
Satan to have his turn with me for a time and I am still trying to overcome it!
If you and the family could keep me in your prayers that would be great! Please
do not worry about me, but I just wanted you to know and ask you for yours and
the families prayers! Thanks!
I love you guys so much!!! I could not have asked for Better
Parents! Thank You Thank You Thank You! Love you My MOM and DAD
forever!!!!!!!!!!!
