One Year In: August 5, 2013

Dear Everyone:

First off, holy cow!!! How tall is Jason now?? He looks huge!! The whole family is so different than when I left!! I loved the photos for you guys at the W’s home (how come there aren’t any photos of Bro. W. or Dad? (Bro. W. was at work in Vegas, and Dad was taking the photos—Marie.)

(The picture we sent to Elder Cummings. No, that is NOT Elder W. It is his twin brother, who leaves for his mission later in August.)

To celebrate one year I bought a pizza. It is somewhat of a tradition.

Dad, it´s good that you got to go to Capriotti’s twice during the trip because you need to be eating better now to lose some weight for when I get back home!

Jason, you broke a 5 minute in the mile run...?!! Wow that´s pretty good. I´ll write another letter to send to you in a photo this next week explaining why I’m not a huge UVU fan, I don´t have much time this week!

This week I don´t have time to write a personal email to them but send Amber, Grandpop, and Uncle Cliff a happy happy birthday from me.

Thanks for the great letter this week!! It was awesome to hear about your trip to Vegas. Sorry I don´t have much to say this week again, we still didn’t have a baptism here but we worked really hard this week and all of our weekly numbers were better than last week. This coming week someone is going in the water, I don’t know who but someone is!! (Pray for S., J., and a miracle!!!!)

What are your new callings in the ward??? What is the name and information about the new ward? I need to inform the mission secretaries of the ward change!

This week I ate some new things, for breakfast this week I always made a sausage, egg and chicken heart sandwich (chicken hearts are super yummy)! I also got to eat cow heart at a barbeque this past week and it was surprisingly good, I like the chicken hearts better though!! Elder W. and I just happened to find some cow heart and cow tongue in the supermarket, and decided to take a picture. Little did we know we were going to eat cow heart later on in the week!!

This week we had 2 baptisms in the district so I’m proud of them but I want to baptize so bad! But it is good that at least the district is doing well! I really like doing baptismal interviews and traveling to Palotina to help them out! I love sacrificing for the district!!

So, that’s it for this week,

Love you guys a lot!!
