Dear klayton :) I would like to inform you that you are one dang smart cookie! And now I officially have proof of that! I got 11th :) and what did Klay get? Oh yeah 5th :) YOU ARE SMARTER!! Haha those dang kids from India ;) just kidding, but just so you know, the word I got wrong was operculum... But in my defense the  pronouncer said "opraculum" but oh well I should have read the dictionary more so it's my fault :) I am pretty happy with 11th though! Anyways we are having fun here in good ole Nashville, yee haw cowboy! Jarin has been taking care of me for you... except he thinks I have bells palsy cause I keep making wierd faces at him ha he's a turd :) I have mostly been hanging out with him and Shelby and Kurtis and Megan.. I'm just the 5th wheel :) jarin and Shelby got past the first round for forensics! They were so surprised ha I hope they did good in the second round..they don't find out how they did until Saturday. Our Hosa bowl team didn't make it past the test :( Our hotel is nuts! It's pretty much a jungle surrounded by hotel rooms... Times 4 ha it is so big we always get lost! The plane ride was so fun! Ha when we were first taking off I was squealing of excitement :) haha I wish I went to Florida last year though!!! this would be so much more fun with you :) I just keep thinking that... I love you :) I will write you again when I get home on Sunday :)

This is jarin wearing your shirt and it made me happy :)

Hey hey hey! It's me again :) i'm home! I didn't want to come home haha I love Nashville. Everyone is so nice there! That southern hospitality is just great, I could definitely live in the south haha But it it's also good to be back home in good ole Benson, except when I got back my tire was flat (imagine that) and my puppy grew to much :(. I took our blanket with me! And I slept with it on the plane ride, it was comfy :) we stayed up all last night cause we had to leave the hotel at 4 anyway, so now I am super duper tired.. Um jarin and Shelby didn't make it in the top 10, I think jarin was upset..but we all had fun so that's what matters!

I got the money from your room :) I felt like a robber...haha cause no one was home so I just walked in and got it. But it is safe now no worries :) that is a lot of money boy! I'm glad you saved up, I have saved up some but not that much! Haha oh I found out what whipped means...it means you are controlled by me. :( I hope i'm not controlling....

Have you started teaching anyone new? Who are the people that said they would be baptized? I think that is so awesome! That really shows the power of fasting and prayers! :) I want to go to church... I feel deprived of it ha last week Kendra wanted me to go to a farewell with her and this week we didn't get home in time so I haven't really gone to the full 3 hours in 2 weeks and I don't like it. I used to try to fake sick when I was little so I wouldn't have to go but now I want to go! I want to learn :) how many people go to church there? I was disappointed in Nashville I didn't see one Lds church... I was surprised about how many different churches there were though! It's amazing that out of all those churches we are part of the one true church! :) we are so blessed. I know it's true :) I love you! I hope you are doing great and loving your mission and the people there, can't wait to hear from you!

The month has been going by well, we are so happy with the beautiful souls we find and have in our ward. we are in the richest area in the mission, so it is hard to get past their hearts, but we know the universal solvent of hard hearts :) we are trying every trick in the book to get things going here. we are hoping to have people on track for baptism in a couple weeks.

Lacey:

:) well it's true! It really would have been much more fun... But we can go on trips when we're married :) this was probably my second favorite vacation, after lake powell :) Nothin can beat that!!

:)Mmmm  i'm glad you are working hard! And i'm glad the Lord is blessing you, just keep doing everything you can and he will do the rest! :)

Klay:

i am so happy that you had a ton of fun :) it makes me happier that you think it would be even better with me :) and i refuse to not take you on vacations!!! :)

you need to minimize our conversations and save them and print them off or something, because after my mission, my account is deleted!!! AHHH!!! haha

Lacey:

Good! Haha I decided I really like traveling :) we need to find a way to travel for cheap! Haha

Haha don't you worry :) I am putting them all in order on word and then we will have all of them in one place! :) and I can put them in a mission book or something.

Klay:

Haha so you're just gonna carry me across the world huh? :) that sounds good to me :)

Klay:
