I love you :) another week has come and gone. this week was rough but that's ok...i wore your poncho and sprayed some cologne on it so that i could sleep good :) we are gonna have a problem when you get back...i'm not gonna want to give all your clothes back to you...i hope you're ok with that ;) i have been lighting the candles a lot lately if that tells you anything, i just miss you! School is not getting any better. I literally think i have ADD now, because trying to sit down and do homework is the hardest thing in the world, i get distracted after 3 minutes. I don't know what to do...and i will probably have to retake O chem.... :( sad day. I have never been so worried about my grades...remember when i was smart? haha you are going to come home and say, "lou what happened?!?" ha 
Anyways enough about that. I would like you to know that i have read my scriptures for a whole month now! I try to read them in the morning but sometimes i don't have time so i read them when i get home. It has been good though :) 
quote! "Do not mock a pain that you haven't endured" -unknown. I really love this. I think sometimes we look at what other people are going through lightly, like we think , oh that's not bad, they should get over it. But we never truly know how they are feeling until we experience the same thing. A trial that we may think looks easy might be devastating to the person living with it. So just remember that with the people you are teaching, life is hard, just give them something to enjoy about it :)
I'll be honest klay...life isn't fun right now. :( And i don't want you to worry, i'll be ok. But just pray for me k? please. I need your prayers more than anything. I love you! work hard this week
love lou

i'm sorry that things aren't going so hot little one, but trust me that the things will turn out for your good. remember that the lord must test and try us. try your best and i know that the lord will help you through. work your guts out to pass and eat healthily so that your body can be calm. remember that your knowledge has progressed either way. the most important part isn't the fact that you pass or fail but that you take the benefit out of it to bless our little children. i don't care if you have a fancy job or if you make us a lot of money, i worry about our creation and standpoint with God. search in your classes for ways to bless our family and you will find that you will be able to concentrate much more. it will be a pleasant study as i do with the scriptures. i study yes for the investigators, but so that i can really dig in deep to the scriptures, i apply it first to my own family. i write down all the little things on the sides of my scriptures. if you don't find anything to bless the little ones, then just remember that your education in this field will at least bless them temporally haha. but lace, don't stress, 

5 If thou art called to pass through tribulation; if thou art in perils among false brethren; if thou art in perils among robbers;if thou art in perils by land or by sea;

 6 If thou art accused with all manner of false accusations; ifthine enemies fall upon thee; if they tear thee from the society ofthy father and mother and brethren and sisters; and if with adrawn sword thine enemies tear thee from the bosom of thywife, and of thine offspring, and thine elder son, although but sixyears of age, shall cling to thy garments, and shall say, My father,my father, why can’t you stay with us? O, my father, what arethe men going to do with you? and if then he shall be thrust fromthee by the sword, and thou be dragged to prison, and thineenemies prowl around thee like wolves for the blood of the lamb;

 7 And if thou shouldst be cast into the pit, or into the hands ofmurderers, and the sentence of death passed upon thee; if thoube cast into the deep; if the billowing surge conspire against thee;if fierce winds become thine enemy; if the heavens gatherblackness, and all the elements combine to hedge up the way;and above all, if the very jaws of hell shall gape open the mouthwide after thee, know thou, my son, that all these things shallgive thee experience, and shall be for thy good.

 8 The Son of Man hath descended below them all. Art thougreater than he?

i love you bugga. i will keep writing you in a minute, but know that all will be for thy good. the Lord truly knows how you feel seeming that he also had to learn all things as stated in hebrews five

 So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest;but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have Ibegotten thee.

 6 As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for everafter the order of Melchisedec.

 7 Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayersand supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that wasable to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared;

 8 Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the thingswhich he suffered;

 9 And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;

he had to learn line upon line precept upon precept and received not perfection at first as stated by john the beloved in doctrine and covenants. How could HE be a perfect example if HE didnt have to learn everything as well? HE started off with nothing as any other child but remained in the presence of HIS Father because HE submitted HIMself continually and never offended the spirit. i testify of Christ, i have come to know HIM. HE has shown me HIS ways and i strive to follow them. HE is my perfect example because not even HE was perfect, but perfected in GOD. LINE UPON LINE PRECEPT UPON PRECEPT UNTIL THE PERFECT DAY. HERE A LITTLE AND THERE A LITTLE. GRACE UPON GRACE UNTIL WE MAY SEE HIS EVER POWERFUL HANDS REST UPON OUR CHEEKS TO BRUSH OFF THE TEARS. i love you lou. work hard. follow the example of Christ. Grace upon GRACE. i love you like mad man :) hehe. be happy baby girl! look for the song that says. . .in the middle of the night, i go walking in my sleep . . .and learn the lyrics and scream it haha. it always made me laugh and calm down. lace, what i see is that you need to sit down in a room alone, and have a three minute spree of deep belly laughter :) try it and see if it doesnt work . . .it releases happy hormones. . . :) love you but. push hard for them okay? tell me what you think of the invention aight? i need comments, we will make it together okay? okay. . .then we wont need studies cuz we will be FILTHY able to pay tithing :) hehe. love ya BUGGA! you are my hero. here is my CHEER! have it i tied it in a bow! MWAH!

Lacey:
I love these. :)

One year and 15 months! 18 months coming soon... :)

Lacey:

I hope you enjoy those house plans! haha but! make sure you email too! don't spend all your time lookin at em! ;) um..Klay! Do you realize something!?!? YOU HAVE 6 MONTHS LEFT!!!! That is the last downhill wall of the house! hehe I am so excited. watching conference just made me think of how close it really is that you will be here. conference was amazing don't you think?? i wrote down some good mommy stuff. :) But mostly stuff that I need to work on right now. What was your favorite talk? I don't know if i had a favorite.... they were all good. I really liked elder Christofferson's talk about agency :) everything is a choice! I am using him for the quote this week, "God will not make us someone we do not wish to become" I don't know if that is the exact quote but that is what i had in my notes. It is interesting to me that God won't help us if we don't want his help, we have to have a want and a desire to become better, and once we agree to change he is both able and more than willing to help us! Do you listen to the talks in english or spanish?

This week was normal. haha nothing happened. i went to school...did homework...cleaned the house...ate food. that's pretty much it! ha OH MY GOODNESS! EXCEPT! I got 3 letters from you this week! That was definitely amazing. haha One of them is at my parent's house...but i am not going home until thanksgiving so I am having someone bring it to me... I am just impatient though, I want it now! ha have you gotten your letter with like 5 letters in it yet? it should be coming soon if it's not already there! um.. i made pumpkin chocolate chip cookies this week and they were BOMB! haha seriously... i don't want to brag, but my baking skills lately are like off the charts. ;) haha I am not so good at making real meals...because i am too cheap to buy ingredients. But cakes and cookies and stuff...MMMMM! I wish I could send you some so that your desire to marry me would just be crazy. ;) And I am excited that you are good at making pancakes and banana breads and stuff :) we will just get real fat when we are married. hahaha

Want to hear some sad news? I lost my jacket.... :( my lou and klay jacket :( :( :( When i went to wyoming I put it in my bosses truck...and then it disappeared. I don't even know where in the heck it could be. I was so mad when they said it wasn't in the dang truck! I am still hoping that he will find it somehow...but it makes me sad :(

Anyways I am excited to hear how your week was! Did you have any baptisms? Did you teach lots of people? Did you help one person come closer to Christ? :) If you did that last one then I consider it a successful week :) I love you Klay, I miss you like CRAZY. But I know you are where you are supposed to be and the Lord is well pleased :) LOVE YOU!

Love lou

My brother just told me they are going to have a baby!!!! i am so excited!! But don't say anything...it is supposed to be a secret :)

You'll never guess what my new job is....haha bathing my old neighbor! ha i was nervous...but it wasn't bad. She is a sweet woman. what are some of your tips? since i know all the old ladies loved you taking care of them :)

dear lacey lou! i love ya! i have an idea!!! when you get stressed for losing things and you dont want to turn into hulk and not sink the dang house boat, you can always swim across the lake to burn some steam i do. . .:) hehe. dont worry lou, if it isnt found, i will make you a new one just like it in the man shed :) hahaha. i have already made the design for the t shirt press! did you ever receive that letter that had the new white sweaters on it that i drew for you and told you to make and take the money out of my account? just ask my mommy :) lace, dont stress it okay? you can always wear mine for the rest of your life, and we will ask special permission to take it to the other side too :) hehe. general conference was fantastic!!!! i hope you arent perfect either cuz i would come back royally sad if you didnt have any thing to work on but i did. . .:) i am so happy that you are trying to progress, it is such fantastic thing to me. i am ever so grateful for ya! happy six month left day! i love our little whit! she is like my undercover agent friend that helps me achieve the greatest of my ambitions! :) give her a hug for me for her devote service on my behalf. i thought that i would send you a whole ton of pictures today because we didnt have service in our credit cards so we couldnt buy anything this week so i had some extra time! so i took all the pictures of my first journal on the 24 :) i thought you might take interest. i am glad that you are working so hard in listening to the prophets and for taking down your most important thoughts, it shows a desire for revelation and direction in life. . .thats just what we need! i am happy with you :) i wear my seatbelt every time that there is a seat belt you know? the conference was great here, i saw part in english and part in spanish. i can talk two languages thouroughly baby! hehe. i think that it is going to be so useful! im excited to teach you and our family. and whit if she desires because she helps me so much ;) haha. she has won herself a delicious  candy! :) here are a few letters. JUS KEEP SWIMMIN!!!! kick all of the others, they may be pretty on the outside but on the inside they are like those suckers that have a cricket or a scorpion inside? you know? sept the havent taken the stinger off either. . . haha. just throw em away . . .hehe. pray for matias, marcos, luz, and miguel. . .so that they can overcome themselves and be baptized. . .there is really nothing impeding them. . . i love you lou, you are my hero. keep working hard as you always do, continue writing and being diligent in your studies, if you struggle, its okay, take a breath and read some letters, i will help you in a little season. love you, your Elder KLC.-

Lacey:
ohh my gosh. You aren't going to believe this. So in your email today you said, "it is not good for woman to be alone either." And i thought...hmm.. that sounds familiar. I WROTE IT IN THE JOURNAL BOOK FOR YOU ON SATURDAY! haha i think we have the same mind.

Hey there my sweetheart :) i thought it was sweet that you remembered that it was our anniversary so i just wanted to say happy anniversary to you!! 2 1/2 years woww. I miss ya like crazy! see you in 6 months :) mwah!
hey there! I wrote you this big email... and it disappeared... haha so i will try to recreate it. Hey Klay! what's that you say? another week done??! yayy!! how was your week? who are the people you are teaching that are progressing towards baptism? I am happy to hear about yanina! I hope that she follows her dream of going on a mission! That would be totally sweet! Hey! you need to be writing down all of your converts addresses! and just everyone that you would like to keep talking to or send a wedding invitation to... ;) what? haha but yeah, that is important, so i hope you have been writing them down. This week was good, I went home, to benson! I probably won't be going home until thanksgiving so it was good to spend some time with the fam. both the fams! miss ava got baptized!! i am so proud of her. I got her two donuts and stacked them on top of each other so it made an 8, and then had a note that said, "8 is great! congratulations on your big day!" she thought it was pretty great and it was cheap so we were both happy :) haha it was a good day, I hope she always remembers it! haha she was saying all sorts of things. the bishop asked her if she was ready to be baptized and she says, "um...no!" bahaha it was hilarious. he was like, oh! well.. we're gonna go ahead and do it anyway! hahaha geez ava. then one of her grandpa's was giving a talk and he had little papers as steps, that represented different things in her life, like baptism, receiving the holy ghost, getting married... and he had her step onto the first step and said, ok what do you need to get to the next step? and she says, "faith, trust and pixie dust?" hahaha. and then! she got to the holy ghost and he asked what the next step was and she says, "um.... dying?" ha it was marriage. and then when she got to the end she says, "i'm dead!" haha she is quite the character klay i was laughing. I am glad that she made the decision to be baptized though, it is important! Mr. Ty ty is next! I had to teach Kendra's primary class today.. they were little hellians. haha i was so frustrated. but as long as they got the point of what i was trying to teach them it is all good. ha also today I got my 17 month envelope! Did you know you made two of the same 2 lines for 17 months? ha  i thought i was getting double but it was the same thing!! haha i love the poem so far, it is very sweet :) After I got that i went to your parents house to give your dad his birthday present. he wasn't there but me and your mom had a good talk. I love her :) she just makes me laugh :) ha you better give her a big squeeze for making me feel loved :) There are a lot of girls on the missionary girlfriend pages that don't get along with their missionary's mom...so i consider myself very lucky. :) The general women's meeting was this week! it was fantastic, i was crying in the first 5 minutes. haha the first speaker talked about a woman sitting in the bridal room in the temple being ready to get married. why they gotta do that to me? haha idk. i just really want that...soon. so you better be ready ;) no pressure or anything haha no but it was really good. I feel like all the speakers just took a look at my life and then just talked to me personally. so it was very beneficial. Personal revelation! It is ok that your letters got sent back, don't worry klay ;) I am sad, don't get me wrong, cause i love hearing from you. but! it is all ok. your letters usually come pretty soon after you send them! and we still have a month until 18 months so it could still get here in time! if not, i will just be happy to get it :) Thank you for spending time to write me letters :) i know you don't have a lot of time to, so it means a lot, and i am very grateful for them :) um... i hope that this thing your brother is doing makes you lots of money. hahaha cause let me tell ya, i am broke. not yet... but in april... i will be broke. ha don't worry though, i am paying my tithing, so some miracle will happen and everything will be ok :) I loved all of your reminising about our past in the last voice recording haha it made me so happy.  I did fall over duke one time! he definitely tripped me while we were on a run and i was so mad at him. I don't know how i was mad...duke is an angel, his eyes melt your heart. ha you did break down in my driveway once.. it was pretty sad. That was one of the only things I wrote about in my journal before you left! so if you forgot...you can read about it when you get home. hey! conference! i am excited to listen and then write you about all of the great things :) i hope you enjoy it also. :) AND DO NOT SAY THAT YOUR PLANE WONT MAKE IT HOME! haha you are going to give me a panic attack. um... have a good week :) don't be trunky :) haha i love you :) you are doing great!!!!

Quote! from the women's meeting, "Every mighty change of heart matters to the Lord" -Jean A. Stephens. I needed this quote. He cares every time we change! Every time we even attempt to change he cares, because it means we are trying to be better. trying to change our natural selves to become more like him. I love ya Klay! I would say sorry that this email was so long but i don't think you mind ;) 

Love lou

Lacey:

I miss them too, but I'm afraid my car will explode if I try to drive it that far. It's a piece of junk. ha  Anyways did Yanina get baptized this week? :) I hope so! If not, keep working with her :) 

This week was alright, not the best but not the worst. I am still trying to keep up in school... Once I feel like I am all caught up I suddenly remember all the things I have to do for another class...it's neverending. but it's alright, I'm surviving. haha I got 80% on my chemistry test! you prayed didn't you? haha usually I would be upset with an 80...but with this class i'm feeling pretty good ha thanks for praying for me klay :) OH! Tiff moved in this week! I like her, we talked for hours the other night! haha we will have fun I think. She says to tell you hi :) She said, "one day I was sad about something and he kept bugging me until I was happy! and he said, one day you're gonna miss me tiff. He's right, I miss him" haha oh klay, you are great. :) and don't worry I do brag about you to everyone...all the time :) I did talk to elder seiber's girly friend! We can hang out with them when you guys are back, she seems sweet! :)

Quote! This one is from Elder Holland, "When we speak of those who are instruments in the hand of God, we are reminded that not all angels are from the other side of the veil. Some of them we walk with and talk with-here, now, every day. Some of them reside in our own neighborhoods. Some of them gave birth to us, and in my case, one of them consented to marry me. Indeed heaven never seems closer than when we see the love of God manifested in the kindness and devotion of people so good and so pure that angelic is the only word that comes to mind." This reminded me of you, you have shown me the love of God through your words and your actions, you are an angel sent from heaven. :) Thanks for all that you do Klay, I love you! have a great week! :)

i dont want to sound ungrateful. . .but, can you send me more of your pictures, even some we took together when we were younger? i kinda like em a lot. . . :) hehe
