Hey Mom!
I hope you get feeling better soon. It sucks to know you aren't doing well. It also sucks to find out that Mrs. C. has cancer. Hopefully everything there will be alright.
Thank you for the update on Jessica. I am glad to hear she is still loving it over in London. I really hope everything work out like she wants it to. I would love for her to be happy! Looking back at it I feel like she was never really happy. Which sounds bad but is true. I hope this adventure will make her truly happy!
I am curious to see what you bought for my room. But if Dad says it is alright - I think I am safe haha. Really though don't go spending a ton of money on stuff for my room! Thank you though!
Well I love you and REALLY hope you get feeling better soon. I hate knowing you aren't feeling well! Hopfully the doctors can figure out what is going on.
Have a great week!

Hey Dad,
I loved reading your e-mail. I can't believe you were at church from 6:30A-8:30P! That is insane. I remember when I covered 2 wards and thought being at church for 6 hours was tuff. It must be hard but sacrifice brings forth blessings!
That is something I have learned about a ton on m mission! The Lord recognizes sacrifice no matter how small and blesses us for doing so. Being on a mission you have plenty of opportunity to sacrifice which can be difficult but man the blessings are worth it.
The work this week was unfortunately pretty slow. We were able to meet with Amanda again and we actually put her back on Baptism date. The only problem is the date is Feb. 15, 2015! She said she prayed multiple times and that was her answer so we are going with it. I hope so badly it works out and that she can be an example to her husband who is a inactive member. We were also able to meet with Kasey who is the 20 year old less active. We had a great lesson and you could feel the spirit. I hope he can start to recognize the spirit since that is one of his problems. I was bummed when he did not show up at church. Church was actually kind of lame unfortunately. We did have a sweet lesson in elders quorum though.
We also had a couple opportunities to do some fun service. The first one was for a lady named Vale. Her husband is out of town except for weekends and she has a bad back so we help here out here and there. Well this week she needed help with her horses. We went out with here and helped trim the horses manes because they had a ton of burrs in them. When we were out there I was petting one of the horses when all of the sudden another horse pinned its ears back and came at the horse I was petting. Long story short the horse I was petting jumped turned sideways and kicked me in the calf! It really wasn't to bad although it made me bleed! Haha. Just another battle scar from the mission.
We were also able to help our Elders quorum president hang some siding on his house. I never knew how heavy that stuff is. It was a good experience to learn how to hang siding. It was also a really good workout.
So that is pretty much it for our week. Here is something crazy that happened this week. Some people a block away from us got busted for growing a ton of weed! Pretty crazy since we drive by those people almost everyday.
Well I hope you have a fun week and aren't to busy with work and church stuff so you can get away from things.
Love you!
