Earthquakes and Hurricanes in the East!

Hey, Mom/Dad/Gma!!!

Things are great over here. No trouble from the hurricane or earthquake. Things are really slow right now, though we have a few good potentials and a solid refferal.

Not too much rain even. just a little windy and drizzly.

Sweet!! Thanks for getting me a phone! I saw that. I think it looks like an iphone! seeing as i now have an apple account. lolz, i get my mail forwarded to my ldsmail, so i saw the verification notice from verizon just now! I sure will do that (pay monthly charges when I get a job)!! how about sending the phone off on the 7th? so it can have at least a week to get here(if it's slow). Thanks again!!!!!!!!!

I love you!!!! and not just because you got me a phone! i love you regardless!!!!!!

Yea - I got Auntie Moo's "click" tie!! It was crazy! Another missionary liked it so much and wanted it, so i traded him it. he LOVES it!! thanks for the $ too!! That'll be good for a couple lunches!

Cool! I remember doing a report on Uncle Austin being shot down as a paratrooper in the Battle of the Bulge, WWII in school so long ago!

Sweet!! That'll do me good to have something to do during layover with the new phone.

LOL! That's hilarious about you announcing my homecoming in RS!!

that's good Ruby has a computer now! LoL, It'll just take a little time for her to get used to it.

Hehe, warm below the 80's??? lol Gma is getting climatized to WA!

I have a great new recipie for salsa that i'll show you when i get back!

Lol. no, I haven't been to oak harbor for a while! (regarding mom not being in Oak Harbor for awhile)

Yup!, hopefully Elder Young will still be serving in Lacey when I return! yea, that would be great if you could let my friends know about the open house!

Good to hear Gma is getting her strength back! Hopefully Gma will keep getting better.

I'm feeling alright. Yea, we'll be in the mission home the 21st and fly out the 22nd.

No idea, i'll find out when i find out! lol (I asked Billy what kind of counseling for coming home he might get)

I think i'm good for now! I'll be sure to let you know though!!!

Love Ya!!!!!

Last Click!

Hey mom, dad and Gma!!!

Things are going well! We're working hard and trying to make the most of this last transffer. So far it's been pretty slow, though.

HEhe!!! That's great Auntie Moo got a last click tie for you to send me! Tell her thanks for me!!

The weather has been tolerable these past few weeks.

Lol! OK, I won't tell anyone dad is growing grass! You'd be surprised what people do out here to grow grass!

I bet your dinner at the Ram was pricey but good!

Mmmm..Gma took you to dinner at Olive Garden!

Wow! Cool! Sorry to miss Cameron's farewell and open house to Sao Paulo Brazil mission. Tell him good luck for me!!

Dad re-painted the deck?? Again?? That sounds good about your plans to have an open house so I can see family and friends.

Sweet! That'll be cool! I'm happy with any homecoming plans you make for me.

Heh, yea, james e-mailed me and was all,'I have some questions about WV and stuff for when you get back!' Lol!

Yea, i got the itinerary. I don't know what i'm gonna do for that 3 hr layover in Detroit! goodness!

Hmmm...yea, hopefully we can get ben feeling ok. It will be nice to catch up with him.

Cool! Service is always good! And i know they appriciate you bringing dinner to them!

Wow, that's sad to hear. I hope Ruby can get through the sorrow she feels! I'll be praying for her!

You know it! Listening to the spirit of the Holy Ghost and being obedient is totally important to a missionary.

Everything is going well. That's about it!

Love YA!!!

All is Well

Hey Mom, Dad and Gma!!

Things are going well. We have been working hard these past few days and have gotten lots of copies of the BoM out there. The weather has been okay, a little warm and rainy but okay.

hehe! Yea, the p-day before transffers was crazy busy. Glad I was able to get a message out to you last Wednesday though!

elder h. had been here for 18 weeks. E. S. is ok. he's from st george, UT. Don't know if he's related to any S's in the Lacey Stake.

Yea, Elder H. got some of the sour raisons - really liked them. Cool that you got my two boxes! i might send out another package or 2 before i get back, so THANK YOU for putting $$ on my account!!!!

That's good to hear that Gma is better and able to go out to dinner with you and dad! where'd ya go for dinner? somewhere in town?

Let dad know that I've been sleeping well. always tired when i get up, but i'm doing well. Sent home the magboys because they were not helping too much anymore.

Yea, i know you don't want to distract me, but it's good to know of some of the homecoming plans. it's just one of those things that you don't want to leave, but you know you have to. And at the same time you are ready to be done, but you know that you still have a few months left.

Sweet that dad got conference tickets! The plans you told me about sounds good so far. Hill AFB sound good to me - that was a cool place to stay! Almost 2 years when we head home from Utah after conference. It was the 6th of October when I entered the mission field from the MTC.

That's fine. i'll wait for Pres. Coppin to be home to release me from my mission.

Wow! That's cool! It's a small world. Nana's best friend lived in the same city, Townsend, MT, where a friend of mine is serving her mission.

All is well for now!!

That's about all thats been going on!

Love YA!!!

Summertime!

Hey mom!!

Sorry I'm late! Yesterday wsa crazy what with P-day and all before transfers. Elder H. is leaving and i'm getting an elder stuki.

*yea, wow! amost halfway through august already!!!

*Thanks! We need the prayers for our investigators!

*So far we've been doing pretty good with the weather. not too bad.

*Sickness SUCKS!! Tell Gma to get better and that she is always in my prayers!

*Wow!!! Thats crazy about the accident the Knoxville, TN missionaries were in!!! hehe, pres McKee! Thats pretty cool too. I don't know if he is related to my former companion-- mabey!

*Hehe, i found that out about the Lacey 3 Ward not having current missionaries listed while exploreing lds.org and just wanted to let you know! we have mormon.org and lds.org study during the week.

*Yea, i got your goodie package on monday! Yum Yum!!! thank you!!!! Hô-tun.

*Sweet! I love having correct theories! Thanks for sharing your info on the Holy Ghost from the Prophet Joseph Smith that you were studying.

*Wow, that's pretty cool how the Spirit affects all our senses. So the more that the spirit is in out lives, the more enjoyment we get out of the things around us. Cool!

*hehe, if all members were as exited to learn and read what we have been given as you are, we'd get more people interested to learn! How cool would that be?!

*Just some head cold type of thing I had, it's all but passed now.

*Hahahaha! Just a little bit. lol (mentioned we need to get Billy's room cleaned up so he has a path to the bed)

*Cool! I look forward to meeting them! (at least one of them) (our current ward missionaries)

*Cool, i hope Ben enjoys getting to teach the Japanese Xchange students!

*Yea, Zone Conference is in a couple of weeks. so i'll give Sister Pitt one of the gifts you sent then!

I'm exited to be gettign near the end of my mission but also more than a bit distraught as well...stupid bitter-sweet time!! :P

Love ya,

Elder Mulks

August 1, 2011 - 52 Days left! (Who's counting?)!!!

Hey Mom, Dad and Gma!!!!

Things are going great! We've been leading our district in book of mormon loans! SO we can't complain about that! We have also gotten a good number of solid follow-ups too!! So we're staying busy!

Got a couple of new investigators out of those Book of Mormon loans!

The weather has been a lot better, comparitively. IT's only been in the high 80's Plus we had a solid rainstorm yesterday.

Wow! long time! Well, that sounds like it's at least getting better. Keeping Gma in my prayers! (Billy's Grandma was in the hospital with diverticulitis last week)

That's good, too! That's easyer to fix than depression! (we thought a friend had stayed home from church because she was depressed - was low blood sugar)

Lol! me and another one of my companions had speculated about that earlyer in my mission! we came to the conclusion that, since every one of god's children have to have bodies, the Holy Ghost someday will, too. That's just doctrine according to elder Mulks and elder B.

Cool! Hope he gets back safe! (a missionary from Lacey going home to Missouri this week)

Eeeewww, zucchini...lol (growing in our garden - Billy doesn't like it!)

Yea, that place was cool! - The water park in downtown Olympia

I've been feeling semi-icky. was down for about a day and a half, but nothing serious. but i've been having massive headaches lately. i really thing it's time for new glasses when i get home. I've also been noticing a difficulty focusing on printed words at a distance, like if i'm reading the menu at subway.

Yea! I would love your home made thank you cards to give out before I come home. That'd be great! Your next package you send - More of those crazy rasins! Mabey some clear packaging tape?

Thank you!!!

Love YA!!!
