mom,
well this week was crazy, i almost got hit by a semi truck,
i saw an apostle of the lord, i went to chipolte, i am like a real cowboy....
kinda, i can understand a little bit of spanish, i extended 3 baptismal
invites, and we got 2 baptismal dates. i know, sounds like a blast huh??? well
first the semi truck, we were going to get some gas out in the boondocks, and we
were in the turning lane, just waiting when from behind a bus in the other lane
a semi truck comes into the middle lane. we are just staring at it not knowing
what to do, it was going fast and not slowing down. about 10-5 feet before it
hit us it swerves back into the other lane. i saw my life flash before my eyes.
so scary.
saturday we had a tri mission conference for elder ballard.
he is really short, if you didnt know, but he is so spiritually huge. he read 3
nephi 11 and it was amazing. so cool, he talked about missionary work. i saw
some friends and the red headed guy... i walked in and i heard him over the
whole room of about 300 elders... yeahhhhhh but elder williams is great. he is a
good guy. i am adjusting pretty well. its sucks to wake up but its getting
easier.
i went to chipotle. its not as good when real mexicans
arent making it, and i lost my planner. that sucked.
i am a real cowboy!! for service we help this girl who
works on a ranch. this week we unloaded a hay truck, and cleaned some stalls.
last week we cut some trees and stuff! it is cool. i really need some boots!
like semi legit ones cause the real legit ones are pricey! my ward mission
leader in 2 ward, that i love, he and his wife served in Honduras so when we are
there they speak spanish, sometimes. so i go to the corner and read a
bilingual baby book for their new born! dont worry i am still loved!
i have extended 3 baptismal dates this week! all of them
said yes but my first one i was nervous and didnt ask for a date. dont worry, i
am still learning. i will get there. i dont think i will be doing the baptism
though. they all have a priesthood friend/husband who will baptize
them.
you guys sound like you are doing awesome. yeah it is
getting pretty cold here too! its supposed to rain all week and the high is mid
40s... yeah not too excited about that. lace, sorry you had to work on
sunday! i would punch them in the face but i am pretty far away. mom, glad to
hear you guys are doing good. sterling and Big A, way to be soccer all stars. i
am sure you guys are the two best looking out there, but i would still like to
hear about your lives. good luck in school.
grandma nymeyer, thanks for the calendar and book of mormon
sheet (mom, can i say that the calendar makes me laugh every time. some of the
pictures are just..... weird.... the nose surgery one gets me every
time, but it is nice to know the dates and stuff) man i cant believe i am
turning 20 this year... freak!
dad, i am glad you are doing all right! guys!! whats up
with the broncos??? how could we lose!!! this is crazy!!! how is my fantasy team
doing? did i make a comeback? i know all this cause no matter where you go there
will be football scores or something about they hate liberals ha dad would love
it.
hmm anything that i need.... i dont know, ties are cool,
sweet zebra pens are nice, gift cards are cool. there is a nike factory in my
area soooo i might need to go shopping there some time.

hey man, congrats on going on a mission. some tips for
the mtc... learn to love your district and zone. really, they will keep you
sane. know that gym will be your best friend. when you go to the temple, eat
there. its real food. when you are in the classroom try really hard to stay
focused but its hard so dont worry about it. learn to like role playing. you
will do it all the time, and try to be 100% obedient. it is hard, but you will
see so many blessings. also, dont be afraid to be you, its like having a clean
slate. no one knows you or your past so just start doing everything right at the
start. i love you man. you will do some great work up in colorado.
