Burning Up in Texas!

8-8-11 To Mom

first answer is yes - it is freaking hot down here. the last few days we have looked at the thermometer that says over 110 every time in the shade haha so yeah, we are burning, but it is all for a good cause :) well i am glad that the girls survived the "hot" trek, i knew they could. they are tough girls, well this last week was good. we had a few new people to start teaching as of lately so things are looking up, well that is to bad that shanlyn broke her nose. that must have hurt pretty bad but i do have a pretty good brother :) to help her out haha. well i am glad that you are doing good, yeah dont worry about the money thing i can wait till things get better for y'all. i think the lord will provide as long as we are faithful to him, well this week we have a meeting with the president and about 150 missionaries so it will be pretty good to be there, well i love you mom. i hope things go well for you. take care

To Dad

haha it is pretty cool how the lord answers prayers huh, that is one thing i have learned about a lot on the mission is that whenever i have needed help i first go to the lord and he has my back most of the time, sometimes he will want us to figure thing out but he is pretty loving, well i am glad all is working out for you at work. i bet it is pretty frustrating when things dont go the way they are supposed to, it happens a lot in the mission field. investigators arent doing the things they know are going to help them out in life even though they know the blessings they will recieve from just simply doing it, and i know there are still those elect people who are waiting still for us to find them and we are working hard to find our brothers and sisters that are lost, i heard a talk from troy dunn "life is a football game" and at the end of it he tells the youth that he doesnt want to just see a few of us in heaven but he wants us to go there and to bring everyone with us and it is our job to find them and bring them unto the true knowledge of the restored gospel, well i love you a ton dad. you are the greatest. thanks for everything
