I "luff" you!

Thanks for looking for the wrestling gear. I'm very excited to be able to get back on the mat. I wrestled Elder Chavez last Monday on the stage, and I whooped his butt! It was great! i was actually surprised because he was a state placer in Utah. All well, I am just excited to get back to the sport I love. We are going to try and preach the first lesson while in a match, that means a 9 minute lesson! It's going to be grand! My record for speed teaching the Plan of Salvation is 57.5 seconds! We timed it! That's what we did when we were dying from unknown illnesses. We had the ward primary program this Sunday and it was great! We have roughly 25 kids all together. youth; we probably have 5 or 6. But we are teaching some families, and working with some less active families so we should be able to pump that number up. Hey dad, coming from a bishop, what do you think would be the most effective way about approaching the bishop for any assignments we could help with? I know just asking if there is anything we can do for the bishop isn't very productive, so what would you like to hear from the missionaries seeking service, focus families, etc. We have a very solid bishop but he claims he doesn't really have too many things for us to do, Which is a LIE! :) we have like 250 less actives! He really doesn't have a focus list and so he tells us to go out and get 'em all. Anyway, we got to do some service this past Saturday. We cleared trees from a members home and them caught a calf! It was smelly, dirty, and scary work. I almost got run over by a cow! But I am a big bad missionary and I scared it off........ with a big stick :) Oh while clearing trees, one of the elders had a tree fall on him! It was probably 15 feet tall and not very thick. It was dead and dried up but it was pretty funny to watch. He didn't have any fatal injuries so we all had a good laugh and he said "Now I've got something to write in my journal" I chastised him, he hasn't written in his journal since his first transfer. NO BUENO. I write in mine everyday :) So mother, I have been hounded pretty bad out here about not having a picture of my family. If there is an older photo with the whole family, would you be willing to send it out with my wrestling gear? Thanks I luff you! Everything is going well here, we are working with some amazing people and we are having young couples move in left and right so we have a lot of energetic RM's willing to go out with us......... and feed us :) Last week on Saturday we had all 3 of our meals provided, it was awesome!!! I love you all and I pray for you always!
