Hey mom I'm online. I gave the 600 check to Bro. Fomby on monday and he put it in his account he said that the 600 had been taken out of his account so I take that to mean that you have put the check into my account. Also I've been unable to sell my backpack to any missionaries so I'm having the first counselor of the branch put it on Ebay. He put it online yesterday. I took pictures of it and everything for him. I told him to post it for 2 weeks and to start the bidding at I think 10. We'll see what happens. As far as a time to call We are probably going to a members for breakfast then we have to help a lady move at 12, then we have our dinner at 4, so maybe before 4 or maybe after our dinner I don't know.
Yeah I hope it doesn't sell for that much either, but do I have any other choice, but to be stuck with it.
Yeah I don't know when I'm calling, it's all a jumble. I'm not too worried about it though.
Well Bro. Challis has probably already put it online. I gave him the pics yesterday. Plus that would mean I'd have to ship it home or pack it around with me, and try to find space to bring it home. We just hope for the best.
I'll be calling on Christmas Day. And we will probably be calling from a members home. They said that it doesn't cost them. Not for sure on the time though. Who knows I could end up calling from the cell phone, but then I'd have to do it before 7am or after 7pm.
Deffinately!! I thought about getting Zach something but I didn't know what and I didn't want it to go to waste if he wasn't writing me back. I still haven't got a letter back from him.
I'm just checking these emails from you and responding, I've already written pres. Today we are going bowling as a district then probably out to dinner, and then we are going caroling and trying to give out joy to the world dvds and then share a spiritual message. It's a great finding idea that we are going to try. We are all meeting in Dekalb. Just keep writing back I'm waiting for your emails to come through.
It's incredible to think about. 2 years ago today I received my patriarchal blessing. I read through it this morning. I plan to read through it tonight again. It's hard to believe it's been two years since then. Tell the Thomas' thank you so much, that I owe a great debt of gratitude to them for their sacrifice, so that I can continue to serve out here. The ward is so supportive. I love you too mom.
My companion is officially ridiculous with Christmas. He has received so many packages and cards. Two full size moving boxes came for him yesterday, another smaller one a day or so ago, and the table that our tree is on has a bunch of holiday cards on it. The whole table is packed with his stuff under the tree. There isn't even any room for my Christmas to sit under the tree. His stuff is even stacked, it almost covers the tree. He's also opened some of his stuff. We all got a plastic bag at zone conference, and I didn't open mine, but he opened his. We also got a holiday pillow case. I have mine on my pillow from last year. Anyway, he's gone crazy with Christmas or at least his family has, and he hasn't even got the things from his girlfriend. He spent a lot of money on gifts, well over three hundred.
I remember a lot of things. That was the same day that I finished reading the Book of Mormon for the first time, and I wrote my testimony in the cover of my copy of the Book of Mormon. It's a significant day for me. I finished reading the Book of Mormon just a little before we went over to brother Stones house for the blessing.
I remember I finished reading it upstairs in your room and that's where I wrote in the front cover of the Book of Mormon.
Tell michelle thanks for the card. Those kids have grown up, that's incredible!!! I hope that you got my Christmas cards that I sent, make sure to send one to the bullocks one for you and then you can give the others to whom ever you like. Or go to a photo place and scan it to make some more if you like.
I read of your concern mom. I had interviews with president yesterday. He won't let me extend my mission. The other thing that he is asking that is hard, is he doesn't want me to wake up early and exercise anymore. He doesn't want me to worry about time spent at members and different things like that. He basically doesn't want me to stress, I have to drop the typical missionary hat. He said that he talked to you about my papers and if I had ever had anorexia, and that my papers said no. So I know that you have been talking to my mission president mom. This is a really frustrating thing my pres trying to control me when my comp doesn't follow other rules and I'm supposed to stop doing something that I've done my whole mission. I don't think I can do it. Yesterday was frustrating interview with president. Obedience has been a thing I've preached before but I'm having a hard time with this one. There's a lot of frustration right now. I don't really want to explain it all, or know how to. I don't want to spend Christmas talking about it either. I deffinately don't want to talk about it then. Anyway I look forward to hearing from the family on Christmas.
Say merry Christmas to Josh and it sounds like he's doing great. Keep tearing it up!!!! The snow is fun, we've been getting a ton of it too.
I've sent a bunch of stuff, but we've got a big day ahead. I'm on exchanges right now with Elder Condhe, and he's been done emailing for a while and he's been waiting. I think he's ready to go, and we have other stuff to get done before we meet everyone in Dekalb. I should probably get going. I love you tons. I didn't hear from dad or spencer?
Love ya tons. I can't wait to hear what you think of what I got you. That's probably the only thing I'm really excited about for phone calls because I don't know what else to say, except hi, I'm a missionary. I just want to hear what you think of my gift. Love ya tons, talk to ya soon
