(Our family has been playing a game by text/email…here
are some of Elder Tilley’s answers…FYI… these are jokes if you didn’t already
knowJ).
You know you’re a Tilley when you think you are good because you can
score 20-30 points in a church ball game!
You know you’re a Tilley when you are not allowed to watch TV on
Sunday . . . unless you are with Grandpa!
You know you’re a Tilley if you are married and have a kid and still
live in Mom and Dads basement!
answers: Yes I am taking them, I forget sometimes but yes I am taking the
herbs and drinking the green drink every once and a while but I am going to
start drinking it more often!
Can you do me a favor?:) Can you take $350 out of my account and put
into yours for EFY and then take $370 out of my account and put into Dad´s for
the iphone and droid that I said I would pay for? Alright thanks!!! :) Love you
Just sent this to Preston
Preston!
That is way awesome man!! Did you guys get any pictures!! I
defiantly want to see you guys on the horses!! That would be awesome!
I will definitely be praying for you with Aims!
So Mom was telling me that you have a big hike coming up or
something! That sounds way cool and fun! I remember that I was not able to go
on a lot of hikes because of sports and things like that, but I wish I could
have gone on more activities then I did. I
know that it may seem kind of pointless for you, but there are other boys in
your quorum that need your help and support! There are many boys in your
quorum that do not have great parents like you do who care so much about you
who are willing to get up at 5 AM to make you juice and have scripture study so
that you are physically and spiritually healthy. There are many boys that need
your help, that are not near as cool as you that need a friend and think how they
would feel if Preston Tilley was their friend.
You are a strong leader and can help the other boys our in your
quorum even if you are not the called leader you can be an example to them and
help strengthen and build them up and be their friend and make them feel
welcome and like! I know if may seem hard sometimes to be friends with people
that are kind of “weird” I remember sometimes I fell into the trap of making
fun of other quorum members because they were kind of weird! But this is not ok
and not pleasing in the sight of Heavenly Father and a lot of times will push
those people that are being made fun of and do not have friends out of the
church.
This experience
will definitely prepare you for your mission! In your mission
you will probably be a trainer, district leader, Zone Leader, and maybe even an
Assistant to the President. And in those positions sometimes you do not have a
lot of friends, but you still have the responsibility to take care of those
missionaries. These experiences now will help you and prepare you for your
mission and life and so it is not pointless. I remember thinking before my
mission "oh I will just learn that
on my mission" which you will learn a lot on your mission but my thoughts
about oh I can just learn it on my mission were wrong! The things that we
do before our missions will greatly affect the type of missionary we are! So I would like to invite you to decide
to go on the campout and try to make at least one new friend (could be more
though) with one of the quorum members that may not have very many friends and
help them and support them through out the campout and then afterwards continue
to be his/their friend! What do you think?
Love you man I hope everything is going well!! Stay away from those
girls!!!! I remember I started liking girls in JR High be really careful!!! (If
you don’t like girls yet that is ok, probably better that way!!!!!!!!!)
Love you so much Bro and I hope you have a great week!!!!

Sounds like things are going well and the Lord is
definitely blessing our family, which I am so grateful for! So when we Skype in
a Month you are going to have to give a watered down version of what this new
company is actually doing! Missionaries
keep asking me what my plans are going to be after my mission and I tell them
that I will probably finish school and then I want to get into a business with
my Dad and then they ask what does your Dad and I say "UHHHHHH... I don’t
really know:)
So
could you teach me some about Repentance!
I have not done anything crazy bad in my life,
but there are things that I would definitely consider sins, but at the time I
did not really think about it, but now I think hmmm I definitely should have
done something about it or told someone sorry or something like that and at
this point I do not think I can really do anything about it. I am trying to not
worry about it because I feel like it is just Satan trying to distract me, but
if you could write something about that to me for next time that would be
great!
Anyways love you tons thanks for being such a
great father! Love you!!

Bec-
Things are going pretty well! Every area has its own ups and
downs. It is funny because I feel like during my trials I will have these
little breaks were the trial will pass for a little bit, and during the trial
part I think "wow this stinks and
this is so hard" but then during the break I think" wow I am so grateful I went through that
trial" Kind of interesting, but it is good!
How are you doing! Are you really embracing the Gospel and
really praying and studying the scriptures? I hope so; some of the most happiness I have felt on my mission is when I have
really dived into the scriptures and when I pray with all my heart!!
I love you bec!!
Sparly Buns Power!!
So our area and the branch is kind of suffering a little bit! It
seems like this branch is kind of suffocating a little bit! So we are going to
try and work with the branch and help them out!
Sorry I did not write a lot about the area, but I will try say more
next time.
In the package can you send envelopes, one more pare of those
insoles (not the hard ones you sent just the normal floppy ones? I think that
is all I need!
Thanks so much!!! love you!!!!!
Logging off
Love Elder Tilley
