Lacey:

Baptism!!! yay! good job elders. I am happy that you have been using our relationship to get taxi drivers to go to church, it should convince them i'm sure ;) Thanks for your words Klay, they helped. I tried to have some deep belly laughter but ....i didn't really have anything to laugh that hard about so...i need a new solution haha listening to Billy joel helped ;) haha you make me laugh. Did you get transferred this week? I am guessing so because you have been in that area for quite some time...but who knows! 

This week I got 4 letters from you! ha I have been getting a downpour of letters the past few weeks, I love it :) My roommate megan walked in with one the other day and i said, "AHHHH! you just made my day!" haha then she was watching me reading it and she said, "oh my gosh you are so happy! That is so cute!"  haha so yeah...your letters make me happy :) The other 3 were at my house in benson. One was the 18 month letter! except i can't open it... ah! Just kidding! I opened it :) And it gave me an extreme sense of peace and happiness, thank you :) And I am glad that I was able to open it, have you gotten my letter about my answer yet? Your letters get here quick, and I love it! But i wish mine got to you faster!

School is still bad, but hopefully I can get my chemistry grade up in the next 1 and a half months... can't believe I am already halfway done with the semester! Time is flying! but at the same time it is going oh so slow. haha If I don't think about you then time goes fast, but lately that is just not possible, i need to think about you or i will go crazy haha I have had many nights of wearing ponchos and a "cats" sweatshirt :) Do you remember when you gave me that sweatshirt?? I remember... we were going to go to wendys after school and it was raining, so you gave it to me, then i tried to give it back before you left and you said that I had to keep it ha and you gave me ketchup and a bunch of other random stuff that you found in your jeep... hahahah i still have it all :) and i am so glad. i remember i was so twitter patted that day ;)

Apparently I have a new calling... the counselor said "it's a fun one!" whatever that means. haha I was in benson today though so I will have to wait until next week to find out, it will be good to have a calling. I need a visiting teaching assignment and visiting teachers too! and home teachers! our house is super creepy... and we want someone to bless it so that we feel more safe... that may sound really stupid but i really think it will help, we just don't really know anyone that we could ask.

Quote! "Often we do not know what we can endure until after a trial of our faith." -robert D. hales I heard this in institute this week and it really helped me out. Somehow in institute there is always something that is exactly what I need to hear... not a coincidence. I know that Heavenly Father doesn't give us more that we can bear, he knows our potential and how strong we can be. Sometimes he allows us to be stretched to our limits like a rubber band, but he never lets us break. My institute teacher's wife has stage 4 cancer...yikes. It makes all my problems seem like nothing. But each persons problems, no matter how big or small are important, to them and to Heavenly Father. He cares more than we will ever be able to comprehend. I love you klay :) keep on keepin on.

hehe how are you little one!!!! you opened the letter!!!!! you cheated!!! ;) haha i hope that you liked it. i trust you with everything lace, this is my new life hehe. just being one with ya. this week was pretty fantastic, i am sad though cuz i wont be with my hijo anymore. i have learned lace that truly the burdens of life become simple. i am virtually stress less. i have a pleasant calm about you. about the future, about my current and to an extent extremely difficult assignment. the spirit of God is purifying me. i love it. i have learned that as we came here to the earth we were as cooked noodles. . .hold on with me on this one. . .;) haha. God sent us here and our duty is to harden to be able to sustain ourselves. if you let go of a noodle it just curls up on the floor, and if you leave it like that, it will dry and be a noodle that just isn't hardened correctly. every time we sin, it is as if we spray some water on ourselves impeding ourselves from hardening or if we sin hard enough, we throw ourselves to the ground and we start to dry up un properly. but, as we live righteously, we the light and heat dry us up to the point that we are able to have the hand of god support us from the base instead of the top of the noodle cuz we are strong enough support ourselves, yet we still need the support of God to hold us from the bottom, to guide us. i hope that i created a beautiful picture in your pretty little head :) hehe. we will do it for a family home evening one week with our little family! we baptized a kid named miguel tula! he is a stud! and now i am in san pedro. it will be quite the adventure learning how to control a zone. if i am able to control a zone, why not a beautiful home with a precious wife? hehe. i am glad that you are getting letters afull!!! what do you think about sheep? we could make our own blankets and clothes and stuff!!!! haha. hey if you want to start looking for scholarships and stuff, and cheap land that we can buy and make a glorious kingdom! haha just take the money out and buy it haha. i also want a lot of trees did i tell ya? i have learned this lesson a lot in my mission. if a tree is pruned right, when it is older, it is formed in the way of the gardeners hands. i am so happy lou!!! all my dreams are coming true! if we having nothin but we are able to be together. i will be happy, but i know that it will be such a high quality life for our family with our early planning and preparation to be able to raise the little ones in that way. i want to be their best friends you know? can you imagine the spiritual growth with hands on learning of pruning the trees? what an impact that it will have in their lives!!! hehe. we have to make the vision bigger lou!!!! i want you to continue developing your talents okay? i know you are already one talented cookie! but keep working hard to learn and practice! i want to be able to say "between me and my wife, we can do all things" i don't want to be able to do all things alone, i just want to learn with ya. . .that will be the joy of my life :) but! i be baptizin this month okay? pray for me i pray for you! keep working hard in school and know that you are a cute noodle that is just hardening in its upright form and god sustains you from the top. not yourself. i love you little one. remember, receiving that answer from God means that the words said are also yours and my gifts are yours, for God made you for me and we are those words are meant for the union of two. for that, read and find which parts pertain to you, and follow the words of the God of Israel :) i love you little one. you are my sunshine, my hero, my example, my emulation, my girl! thank you for all that you do. i want to praise you for the good you do. you truly are so persevering, if i could have your perseverance i would be set. for that i need you. hehe. work hard lou. pray for guidance and do a fast so that you can concentrate, surely the Lord will fight this battle with you.
