this week has been good, really busy! with work and school and i'm trying to finish my quilt for the fair..I'll probably get done like the day i have to take it in haha...yikes :/
we also had a shower for Lisa this week, she got a bunch of good stuff. we went to the preston rodeo last night and we were in the parade for my dads work before that! I saw Brielle and kolten, I tried to throw them candy but I couldn't throw that hard haha and we went to lagoon on the 24th! it was fun :) except my dad and Cole got sick and my mom doesn't like rides very much so me and Whit rode most of them. my mom is like super sore though.. at first we thought it was from riding the rides but now i think it is something different. she is really weak, and it hurts her to do a lot :( so i hope it's not anything bad...
so i have Question! in d&c 38:16 it says "i am no respector of persons" what does that mean? ha i think i learned it once upon a time but i can't remember, so you should tell me what you think it means :) please..

hola lou bugga girl!!!!!
haha lou everything is looking so beautiful, thank you so much for taking care of my mommy!! that blanket is so cool!!!! its for me or the fair or what?? haha and nala and simba!!! holy snap crackle pop!!! we had some success this sunday, our assistences tothe church doubled, we had twenty four at the church and seven were investigators. it was very nice :) i felt the spirit which was a beautiful thing. this is the work of the lord. I know that is true. I want you to know of my testimony and i also want to ask your forgiveness of anything that i have done wrong to you. I really want to be perfect. I am trying so hard right now. God is humbling me so much. i am at a low point and like the scriptures say, God breaks us down to humble us so that he can build us up into what we need to be. I know that is what He is doing with me and you. thank you for all you do. :) you are my hero.
Hey!!! where are you lou bug?
Lacey:
hey yo! i just freaked out cause my phone dinged! :) my mom is laughing at me...
Klay:
heheehe you are a champ!! did you recieve my first message??
Lacey:
yes i did :) the blanket is for the fair and for us when we get married :) hehe i am so so so happy that you had success! keep up the good work :)
Klay:
we have a hermana here that talks a lot. she is seventy years old. she can do more excercises than me. haha she took an hour to cut my companions hair. she talks a lot. but none the less she is pretty awesome. she has a pull up bar in her hall and she swings on itwhen she walks through the hall hahaha. she is like a 16 year old!! her name is Ada. i thought i would tell you a little bit about a random member. :)
Lacey:
she sounds awesome! haha i hope i have that much energy when i am seventy :)
Klay:
haha i think that you certainly will!!! haha. i told my mom to give you that money back, i think that your idea is fantastic Lou, that money really will help us out. You are always so smart. I am glad that you are humble and have confidence in me that when i make a mistake i am going to try harder to do better. If i do anything wrong Lou my companion doesnt talk to me for the rest of the day. Like even if i make a mistake talking in spanish. He gets so ticked off so fast. I dont know what the heck to do. haha. i make his bed, i wash his dishes, i do all the things he asks me to. I study the language in all of my free time to try to help the situation. i am going to be so dang humble after these short months ahead of me! I bought him a dang sandwich yesterday and he doesnt even try to like me. but i love him. and i always will. he is my brother. I am going to keep doing everything. and i will grow out of it.
Lacey:
i think we are going to put that money in your account because that cd thing turned out to be not so good. you aren't perfect Klay, no one is. but i am glad i got to see you through different eyes that love every flaw! :) your companion will get better, just keep trying, the Lord sees how hard you are working to get along with him. everything will all be okay :)
and the language will come :) i pray for it err day ;) just don't give up, think of how much better you are at it than you were before you left! all you knew how to say is elephant booger pants! hahaha you silly boy
Klay:
hehe you missed me? "pancakes"!!!
Lacey:
:) i miss you all the time but i only light it when i REALLY REALLY miss you ha or else i wouldn't have any candle left
Klay:
hehe thank you for being stubborn lou. Its nice to be able to focus myself during the week in the people here and not have to worry and be thinking constantly about fighting to keep you. these people really need someone here Lou. really. and when i focus my heart on you, which obviously i do sometimes, but i really am trying to focus on them so that they can have the same blessing that we have. i have to have the spirit and i have to listen very close to understand what they are saying and to listen to the promptings of the spirit. If i have to be away from you,i am going to be trying very hard to bless others. I hope you dont take that wrong. I want to very much. But in Job the first chapter it says the lord giveth and the lord taketh away.blessed be the name of the lord. i like to switch that around in my case. i like to say that the Lord taketh away and the Lord giveth, blessed be the name of the Lord. He has taken you for a short time. So that i can be prepared to take the best possible care of you, and He will give you back after I have served Him with my heart focused in His other children. Blessed be the name of the Lord. I love you bug. dont forget that.
Lacey:
dear klayton, i want you to not focus your heart on me. i couldn't have said that at the very beginning of your mission haha but all of yesterday i kept getting this feeling that i have to let go of you for a little while. That doesn't mean stop writing you or stop caring about you, but i have to let you give your heart to the people of Argentina right now or i will lose you. and i definitely don't want that. just know i will always love you and i will always be waiting :) and you just focus on what you are supposed to.
Klay:
hehe you are a special ray of sunshine you know that. This is just like our kissing rule. and our promises. Lou we will be helped as we put the Lord first. I know that you will be more anxious to wait if you put God first, and i know that i wont be condemned for thinking about you ;) ahahahhaaha! But i know that this is our trial. and if we endure it well for a short time. all will be well :) Hold tight to the gospel Lou, read and meditate why. I hope that you pray to know my thoughts and see the things i see. you will be changed. and while you grow closer to the Lord, I can say confidently that you will grow closer to me.
love you lou.
Lacey:
:) haha yup i guess it is like our kissing rule! that rule worked very well so i think this will work too :) we always have to be trying to be better Klay
Klay:
have a beautiful week Lou :) i will keep fighting if you do :) love you my louchadorcita!!
Lacey:
love you Klay, good luck this week :)
