how is she doing? well im a 4th through my mission already! its weird to think about.. the new comp is fine! im trying to just look at the good things in life because when i start thinking about the not so nice things i get pretty depressed, when i go to sleep i have to think of 10 things that were good about the day! you should do the same! I had a pretty crazy day/night of my mission yesterday. It involves 3 arrests, a man with no legs, a broken bumper, a camper parked on the parking lot of a walmart, a corgi and a 2000 foot high staircase. how is the family? love you

tell nathan to get a email on his phone so i can talk to him please

Do tell the story....i have a story it's about a drunk person who Peed on himself and hasn't had a shower in weeks it would seem,  a sick person coughing and sputtering all over next to me and me with gas on the plain trip it was very funny love you dad 

Jeremy wrote,
well it all started out with the incline (which is a stair case to the top of a mountain) which i didnt actually do, i waited at the bottom while my comp did it.. and i went to the springs on monday to meet up with a lass active to have dinner and what not, we ended up in cicis pizza in a not so good part of town and one guy wassnt acting very good so he was asked to leave!! so i went to the car and gave him a book of mormon and then the guy with no legs was trying to back his car out and his bumper got stuck on the thingy that is supposed to stop the car, the concrete block.. and ripped it off. so i was putting in back on, which i told myself i wasnt going to do but i just couldnt help myself, and while i was doing that the scary guy came back and made a fuss, the cops were called and he took off and then him and two other people got arrested! then we walked over to a walmart and talked to some people living out of there camper, the corgi was the lass actives dog, love you tell mom i dont have time to type it again

OK so here's my story I went to Arizona to visit Lisa and see Ashley come home from her mission in the airport as I was leaving Fort Worth there was an individual talking and blabbing all about his trip that he was going on to Arizona to see his girlfriend that he met online six months ago and was going to visit her for the first time. So as it would have it on the trip home I showed up next to him in the plane now I was just listening to the conversation earlier and never had talked with him. I started the conversation by saying so how was your girlfriend? Then I said I understand you met her about six months ago? And this was your first time meeting? He looked at me kind of puzzled and didn't know how I knew this information I then replied I know it's weird I just know things. Well he had been drinking and smelled terrible like he had Peed on himself at any rate he didn't he was weirded out because I knew about him and what he was doing over the weekend and then spilled the beans and told him that I heard him in the airport before we went to Phoenix and we both had a laugh. So he was at the window The guy on the other side of me Was sick and kept coughing and trying to clear his throat it was gross. So there I was between the two one drunk and one sick and guess what I had gas. I figured hey what the heck I just let it rip noise vibration smell the works I figured why not and then when I got home I told mom about it and we had a laugh anyway I love you dad

Hi son, how are you? If you reply to all on this email then Rebecca, Kayla, dad, and I will get what you write. We are here visiting Kayla and Forrest. We have been sitting around telling funny stories. It has been fun. We leave for home in the morning.

How is your new companion? What area are you in? Are you happy?

I started school again, not overly excited about it but am grateful I get to go.

I love and miss you.

  Hey guys! I'm great I got transferred twice this week.. Its not to fun if I say so myself.. I happen to be one of my pres go to missionaries to fix a area.. although I get get to be in a trio for a few days which has been by far the best time I have had so far, so I'm really sad I left. I'm now in the middle of nowhere in a town called Limon.which happens to be on the map cuz it is a gas stop. it is a lot different then what I'm used to cuz it only has a branch with 30 people that show up.. which most of them are kids we have 6 families! I cant send any pics right now cuz the computers that are out here don't have a SD card reader but I love all of you

So missionaries have a problem with getting any idea about a area.. (me included) limon is thought to have no missionary work but in the two days i have been here we already have someone with a date to get baptized..? whats this tell me? that people are ready for the gospel at different points and that if you go in with a preconceived idea you are not going to do the work. that and tracting is thought to be a useless waste of time.. my question is how else are you going to find them? any way keep living the gospel. it is how we find happiness and peace love yall


Caroline wrote,

I'm sorry you are sad....maybe this will turn out to be you best area ever!  I'm sure the Lord sent you there for a reason and that you have something special to offer the people there. Have fun and tear it up there!!!

I think you forgot to 'reply to all' so not everyone will get the message.  I put there emails in again. 

We are on the road right now, just left Joplin Missouri headed to Tulsa then to Oklahoma City and straight on to home. The visit with Kayla and Forrest was great. I miss them already.

Love you tons, be happy, work hard, and be good!

Love mom

Still haven't heard from Jeremy this week. Kayla seems to be doing well and said she and forest are coming down for Christmas.

What is story behind the wig photo? And mom missed your email so slip one in. We talked about you and your really long talk at dinner table with the missionaries we all laughed.  Miss you. Dad

Well, it's just a pic with my district.. I was just being dumb! What did ya'll talk about? I'm getting a new comp tomorrow! I'm super happy cuz i"m about ready to murder the one I got.. He is just very difficult to get a long with.. How has your week been? 

This isn't my comp, but my ZL

David wrote,

Your going to have comps you don't like but it will be for your good just be patient and don't punch him that would be bad.  We went out on lake for a while last weekend and missed you.  Grandpa is super glad you are a missionary as am I and mom and Nathan, there is not a day that goes by that we do not pray for you.  The mop photo was cool I thought you might be interested in the sister missionary in the photo?  You probably thought she was cute anyway.  Be patient and all things will come your way and you will be blessed more then you could imagine trust me on that one.  SOoooooo proud of you 

Love Dad but got to go back to work. 

Jeremy wrote,

i know that and I'm trying my best not to punch him.. you know how it is.. being by someone who makes you angry 24/7 ain't easy! I'm sure Grandpa is tickled pink that I'm out here, as are you! I'm about to past the point that Chandler went home as well. and no I'm not really interested in her.. haha she is nice tho here is another pic, and i ain't interested in her either

But I do my best work when I'm half asleep and delirious in the middle of the night I love you

Nice handsome man there, couldn't be prouder!

 Nice missionary tag silly 

Oh yeah, you're a hypochondriac!

And FYI Chandler was out one year. But you will complete you mission or i will punch you and kick you...and it will hurt because you know what I am saying.

This morning we did brakes on Jeremy's car then ran off to the lake for fun, The boat did a great job with top speed of 43 on the 4 blade, 19 pitch prop.  This is a little slower then the 21 pitch 3 blade that came with it of top speed of 46 but it gets out of the hole better and faster.  We cruised around mostly at 23-25 mph and it did a great job at that.  As for grandpa and the tractor with a little dirt in the scoop and the scoop probably a little too high and then on a slant and he was over quicker than lighting.  He was shaken and next day a little sore.  You know renters they are all the same, (it was a rented tractor) trash the thing it's not mine right?!$@??  So you have been doing loops with to Heli have you? Hope it is just what you wanted, have you broken it yet???  Need parts???  How are you doing with the new meds??  I miss you and at the same time am so proud of you for what you are doing keep up the great work and oh congratulations on graduating from High school!!!!! Mom is displaying your diploma on her wall, not sure why but she is very proud of it too...

Can you take some time to send me some info this week ok. 

Keep happy, good boy!

That ain't my brother. I haven't even been gone 9 months, and that little boy is clearly older then a newborn, it's Richard's newest kiddo, isn't it! and I don't have stories to tell! Then I'm going fishing today, and probably getting transferred in two weeks what have you been up to? How is work? Start saving money for the company that we are gonna start! And think about what kind you want!

Hi Jeremy,

   How are you doing?  Keep up the great work and do what you should.  Not much is happening around here, life just keeps going on.  Still sewing and making quilts. 

Love 

Grandma

Howdy, this is Aunt Barbara.  Just wanted to say Hi and hope that your mission is doing well.  We're enjoying our summer vacation and the kids are almost ready to go to back to school.  Next week we're driving up to Utah to visit family for one last vacation.  Then when we get back school will start and we'll be back to our normal schedule.  This evening we're eating dinner at my house and I think the weather is good enough that the kids can play in the backyard too.  That is, if we can get them off their tablets.  They are all hooked on Tearria or Mindcraft.  LOL  Jeremy is driving the Mustang this week and I think he is secretly enjoying it... or at least he won't admit to it.  His car needs the breaks fixed so that will be done next week.  Okie, dokie.  Have a great week and we all love you.

Hi Jeremy

well i returned the Mahindra tractor back to the dealer..i won't buy one of those again...i am going to SLC this coming Wednesday...be gone about two weeks...when I get home I will address a new tractor...HOw is gospel teaching going...love Grandpa...

Elder Jeremy!!!

This week mom and I have been sewing up a storm.  We have been working on a humanitarian project.  Tomorrow, Caroline, Rebecca, and Barbara are going to come join us and then we will get a ton of sewing done.  :)  It has also been crazy hot around here.  Temperatures from 95 to 100.  It's bound to be cooler up there.  At least I hope it is.  How many investigators do you have?  Are they progressing well?  Have an awesome time spreading the gospel!  -Carol
