Dad, that sounds like a lot of fun for you! i hope that the Lord will continue to do as you said and bless you with what you need. your desires sure are righteous and i know He knows that. your heart is so good, dad. i love it! and i loved that story about Br. Yates. it's so true that the witness comes after the trial of our faith. and then our faith can really be strengthened once we receive that witness. if we give up too soon, we give up the chance for it to be built upon. and sometimes it's a lot closer than we estimate it. it just feels so long and hard at the time, just like you said. i know He'll help us through it if we'll just trust Him. and we'll see the blessings come!
Lou, SMurdock told me all about your sweet victory! so proud (wiping away tears and sniffling)... my lil girl... all grown up! heheee you GO, CHAMP! I know you can do it! Way to have goals and work on them! You're a genius! not to mention super cool. :) and hey, you can look up the tagalog words on google translator! though the phrases may be confusing because they use the same words in reference to she/he/it most of the time lol. its super funny when some philippinos speak english and call girls boys and boys girls :) i love it. and the cultural and youth temple experience! did they please record that????? i NEED to see that! I still don't get how we got mice... but i hope annie gets em! she better, or she won't be around much longer when i get back. joke! i love her, even if she is a freak. and tell Jar he HAS to camp out there and shoot it if the trap " don't work" --because he's the only rootin' tootin' shootin' expert we know!!!
WOw the church really does make the world small! CONGRATULATIONS to Elder T and his family! what an incredibly wonderful way to finish a mission! and CONGRATULATIONS to Aunt Teresa and her success! She is so cool and deserves it! :) Love her. Mom, I know you answered those sisters' prayers, whether they knew they needed it or not. and that's so you! thank you for doing that for them! i feel the effects of it here and i want to thank you for doing it for me as well! it makes me feel so good! don't tell that sister, but i'm not sure i remember her by name. by face i probably would :) i bet she's awesome! because --of course-- our mtc batch was astig. (the word cool is cooler to say in tagalog .)
Rae, i know that you're sad you couldn't play, but i know in the long run it's best. i'm so glad someone's taking care of you, sweetheart! way to keep up the good spirits! Boo, I'm so excited to see all your neato tricks when i get home! you'll have to see if you can record some so i can watch you learn from the beginning! i'm not at all surprised that you're good at that! Joseph, i'm so proud of you! Your last email was so funny and i just love hearing about how much of a young man you're becoming. I hope you're doing all you can now to prepare for the wonderful opportunity of serving a mission in a few years. it's worth every effort! and i know that in fulfilling your priesthood responsibilities and keeping the Spirit close, you'll definitely be ready!
thank you so much ahead of time for the package! i'm BEYOND EXCITED! I can't even tell you! i'm so thrilled to know there's a little physical piece of your love and familiness on the way to me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! :) sorry, got a little carried away... :D

And thank you for the hymn! it makes me want to be so careful about each and every seed! you're so right, mom. and it goes right along with what dad said about service and seeing the growth sometime in the future when we look back...
my weeks been superb! we've got lots to do tomorrow because we've had a hard time working so far this week. we had interviews with president Stucki monday (SUPER WONDERFUL. LOVE THOSE), and sorry i didn't tell you because i wasn't told til District mtg last tuesday, so we couldn't prepare. and then we had DM yesterday and temple day today, which is also wonderful, but that means no work today bc it's pday as well. crazy stuff! but it's been SO GOOD! we found some great new ppl to teach, even though the ones we went to weren't there. this one lady is sooo humble. she's so quiet, but she will come to open up more to us. her husband is abroad adn i'm not sure how well educated she is, but she sure is sweet. i felt really good about her. and we have a new and golden investigator keeping ALL her commitments and she's SOOO super prepared! her husband may need some time, but we're so excited about it!
we have a fun district and one of my tatays (dads) in the mission (first DL and ZLs) is now my ZL again here in cavite. i love it here super!
