Haha thanks Hannah, you know I am really glad to have you as a sister, cause you are really spiritually strong and you have awesome faith and trust in God and in Jesus Christ in which you are a great example to everyone around you. As for myself I try to contually remember that I am nothing without God. Only through him have a recieved all of the gifts and blessings that I have and can I do mighty things. And I am Eternally Grateful for everything God blesses me with. And this oppurtunity I have to serve him, and be an instrument in his hands in this great and marvelous work. But thank you Hannah, I appreciate it. And I really appreciate your prayers for me. You're awesome. (high five)...(airmail)....... haha but I'm trying to follow the example of Ammon in Alma 26, its a good one.
Im sorry you're having trouble with your pets in the new home. Hopefully you guys can train them right in the new house pretty easily and soon.

When is your bday? tell me so i can write it down for next year and remember better. But Happy Late Birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will try and send you a card! \m/, (rock on)
Well that is good about the radiation. I was just wondering about that. So is it a lot more to the job than you thought or is it more simple or what?
So we had a baptism last saturday it was awesome. Did I tell you about it already? Well his name was Dustin Christenson, and his younger brother got baptized too. And then last sunday My companion Elder Galenzoski confirmed Dustin, and I got to confirm Cody his brother which was awesome! I had never confirmed anyone b4. And I've only given two priesthood blessings so far. So i was pretty nervous, but the spirit took over just as everytime and I was given exactly what i needed to say evertime which is awesome. But the family was so happy and so was Cody and Dustin. It was just so wonderful. I really want to stay in fruita for atleast another transfer so i can help Elder Galenzoski get trained even further, in being an awesome servant of the Lord. And also because there is so much potential in Fruita 1st ward and 4th ward. We got three new investigators last week. Two of which are younger boys but they have both expressed an interest to be baptized before shcool starts. And also there is this lady named Raqelle who we tracted into and have been teaching for a while. And she is probably pretty much one the awesomest people and investigators I have met. She reads the Book of Mormon a lot! and she really notices the peace and comfort that comes from God when she reads it, and she has been sleeping better and dealing with Stress better because of it. And also the other new investigator is an older guy in 1st ward, but he is absolutely awesome! he is pentecaostal, has a really strong faith in God and has been through a lot in his life that has led him to have faith. He really likes talking to us and he really likes me, he says I remind him of himself when he was young. He did concrete work and construction work also. And he had a best friend who was a member and gave him a Book of Mormon right before he lsft on his mission so he would know what he was going to be sharing with ppl for two years. But he unfortunately didnt get the chance to read it before he lost it. He got divorced a while after he got it and hasnt found it since. So I gave him a book of Mormon and I really think he was really glad to get another copy, and I really think he will read it. But Since sunday night I came over to Denver with the Zone leaders for a special trainging by President Maynes and the Assistants. so past couple days ive been in Denver with a all of the ZL's and trainors. And what the training ws about was helping us become better teachers. It was 8 lessons sent from the first presidency and apostles putting a greater emphasis on things out of preach my gospel that if we follow exactly and do all the time, we will have much greater success, and we will be able to help even more children of God come to Christ through the resotred gospel. So i am pretty excited about following these things and seeing the changes that will follow! but You may want to fwd this to mom so she can here all this too. But thanx Hannah! Love you! Take Care!

Your Brother
