Hey mom, dad and Gma!!!
I'm exited to have just ONE day left!! Though, i admit, it really hasn't hit me yet that i'm actually going home right now...lol! That'll probly happen sometime tomorow when i'm not being paired up with another elder to go somewhere else! But other than that, i've been getting along really well.
Yea, that was an interesting letter from Scott! Very different! But in a good way. It really helps to hear returned missionaries perspective on coming home and fitting in! i think i'll be able to shift pretty easily, though. I just hope thta i dont get jet-lag!
Yup! I've been able to focus on what I have to do and at Sacrament we had another missionary's farewell at church. he's heading to the las vegas, west mission.
yup! i got the recommend you sent me all right!
Cool, thanks for the phone codes, dad!! i just personalized it! It's wroking well so far for checking out church stuff!
Yay!! it's been raining/threatening to rain all week! it's trying to acclamate me back to home!!! lol!
Wow! Alrighty! Tell Auntie Rockie thanks for the $$!! I'll probly save it for emergencies, though i do need to send a couple of more packages home today!!
Cool, good that you asked Bro. Tolman what the theme was for the sacrament meeting next week, now i can start working on something for my talk on Sunday with the theme you gave me of "example"! I'll probly do something along the lines of Christ and how he was the perfect example, how i've been trying to be one, etc...
Cool! I'm excited to learn more about the Mormon Media Initiative and i'm looking forward to setting up my profile on mormon.org when i get home!
Thanks for sending me Sunny's phone number!! Hehe, yea, I remember when Sunny and I used to talk on the bus going to New market. I'm the most grateful for knowing he joined the church, probly more than most of my converts out here!
WOW! SWEET!!! Nice to hear all of the new Elders sustained in the Lacey Stake Conference that I know.
Hehehe, so pres. Moss doesn't want me to wait for pres. coppin to come home and release me off my mission? lame!
That's nice to hear you got surprised with a plack from the Oak Harbor Senior Center! It's great to be recognized, but better when you aren't doing service for that reason and it happens anyway! You do so much good! I'm glad for their recognition of my wonderful mother!!
Hmmm...that's too bad...Kyle had to be hospitalized--I hope that he can get feeling better soon!
Already done!!! I got a photo of the new Mission President at the "meet the pres" thing we had after he got here in July!
Hehe, you still can email me on Sunday nights even if I'm not on my mission! lol!Love Ya!!!!
See you on Thurs!1!!

Let the Count Down Begin!
Hey Mom, Dad and Gma!
things are great, albeit slow. But it's good. weather's been good. though, i swear that it's trying to acclimate me back to home! lol!
Yea I got the phone and was able to check out the gospel apps with my comp. The gospel library is SWEET!!! I love having it all at my finger tips! I think you'd have a lot of fun. it'd definitly be easyer on your eyes, seeing as how you can make the text as big or small as you want! Listen to dad and get yourself one mom! thank you dad!!!
Really? wow! That's great! That makes me happy to hear that Johan and Byron stopped by to see you and check on my return! I'm looking forward to getting back together with them!
What!!!??!?!!!?!?! That's so not the james i remember! i'm gonna love to talk with him! see how each of us has changed! Good for him!!!! (James is Billy's best friend and I saw him on a fb post giving a speech at a city council meeting in Olympia)
Cool! I'll be sure to give Sunny that encouragement when I see him! he'll love going on a mission! It's great how the church has ways of helping those that dont have the resources to go on missions.
Hehe, everyone's just super trunky for me! lol! (told Billy of excitement mounting for his return home)
Yea, that's the last thing we need! No sick mommy at my homecomming! She needs to be all well! hehehe! Yup, lots to do in the coming months!
I dont know him, sorry. But it's good to hear about Chris waiting for his mission call! (recently returned missionary we sat at Stake Conference)
That's really cool who you got to listen to at your stake conference! We went to the CES fireside last night, and were the only ones there! Elder Oaks talking about truth and tolerance and their interrelation. It was awesome!!
Yea, i cant believe it's been 10 years since 9/11! crazy how time flies!
Lots of stuff is going through my mind for the next week and a half! Where i'm going to apply for work/school, whats all new at home, When i'll be getting together with my friends to exchange stories, what my homecomming talk will be on, etc... Just excited to get to work. Elder Stuki and I are doing well, no fighting, so that's good!
Sweet! Cell phones ready for my homecoming and I'll be looking for you in the baggage claim area unless you can get closer!
I need you to send my temple reccomend back to me! i accidentally sent it home. it's in that card holder-thingy. i'll need it for my exit interview.
You asked how I'm feeling--Tired and exausted. but fired up!
Lol, that crazy cat making my room hers now!!
Alrighty,
Love Ya!!!!

Hey Mom, Dad and Gma!!
Things are going well so far! We've been doing lots of working and having some success, not nearly what we would want, but any success is good!

Nice to hear about you going to see my aunties and cousins in Oak Harbor and Mt. Vernon! Bet that was fun! OOoooo! Sounds tasty! we have a great thai restaurant here in lynchburg. (Oak Harbor has a new Thai restaurant but we weren't able to go there as it was closed on Tuesday)
Beth's back to legos! Sweet! i still love legos. someday, i'm gonna get that deathstar of star destroyer and build it! I know JUST how that feels to burn your fingers from chopping peppers (Auntie Schell). But mine flared up the next morning! (back when i was in martinsville). Nice Chivaun has a boyfriend and received the Book of Mormon!
That's good to hear that Lillie and the little ones are doing well in Mt. Vernon with the move--I'm glad Lillian enjoyed the glasses. SWEET! i love having a packed day--so anxious to see all the fam - fun to celebrate Marek's bd. it'll be wierd to have so much free time for a bit.
Hehe, sleep is good! You got tuckered after all your visits!
Good that dad was able to encourage Kyle to come back to church and see his Bishop! i know that church does so much good and helps to get through the week so MUCH!
Cool! you'll enjoy it for sure! Institute classes for mom to study the Book of Mormon.
Yea, i'm thankful to have such loving family who have supported me on my mission through $$, prayers, etc.! i nkow they will and have been blessed!
