hey mom,

wow! jaren is in the royalty! how did that happen? thats awesome though. i guess our family is full of good looking young boys and girls. :)

yeah yesterday we had a meeting with our bishop before church and he got the the text from our stake pres saying that they had changed the age for missions. that is sooooo cool. me and saili were freaking out. so is jaren going to prepare to go right after high school? that would be awesome. i was thinking about it last night it seems like everything that has happened to me so far in the past few years has been perfect timing. getting held back helped me a lot and i left i feel right when im supposed to and now they are allowing the 18 year olds to go. if they would have done it before i left it wouldnt have helped me at all but it will help jaren. i just thought it was cool. wow and another temple in az. arizona is really growing huh? we wont be able to see conference until the 4th of november but im hoping the the liahona will get here quick.

so for me there isnt to much new right now. the dr for our mission is really worried about us eating so they raised our allowance. that is really nice. it should have been done a while ago but we'll be good now. we were barely making it of what we got but now we will be able to eat a lot better. im happy=) ummm right now we have 2 people that are close to being baptized but they have some few issues that we need to get sorted out. but were hoping for the end of this month. one of them is this really smart lady named mary. we taught her the whole restoration in one lesson. haha that does not happen very often. usually it takes like 5 lessons to teach it and for them to understand it but shes pregnant and not married right now so we are just trying to help her. but she really wants to be baptized. the weeks are still going by really fast this past six weeks has moved. im about to start my 11th transfer out of 17. Crazy huh? i dont remember anything exciting really happening this week though.

THANK YOU!!! for the package i loved it. the pictures were amazing! everyone has gotten so much bigger its crazy. you and dad still look the same but the kids holy cow! jaren is getting bigger but i think that we are about the same hight right now. i have a pick of me and dad standing together and me and jaren are close. but jaren is gettin a little more thick. he will probably be a bit bigger then me when i get back but you have to take into account that im in AFRICA! and im just doing push-ups and sit-ups.;) you guys looked like you were having fun. and i think i know the real reason for you wanting to move to texas. your tired of the diamondbacks and are now a rangers fan and want to go and support them. right? so you will spend four days huh? that will be cool. tell me when you make a desision. and im still planning on doing firefighting so if you could look for a school that has the credits that i need for that and that the marines will sponsor me going to that would be great. just take that into consideration when you go and dont tell me if you find anything i dont want to think to much about it right now.

well alright i guees that i will talk to you later. i love you!!!

love,
