Caden, how
are things bud? Has it been a good week and hopefully a positive one. Your
comps parents found your blog and contacted us, she sent us a couple of
pictures of the two of you and said some really nice stuff about you guys
working well together and working really hard. That sounds like the Caden I
know. So a run-down of our week, FHE Monday night which was storytelling and
some dinner, Tuesday not much just a quiet night at home. Wednesday and
Thursday pretty low key. Friday and Saturday was Syd and Sophies swim meet. We
both went to Friday and they did outstanding, Saturday I went, Sophie had a PR
on her race and syd killed it in every race. Syd made the medal platform three
times and set some PR's as well, proud of those girls, they rock! State is in
two weeks for swim, I'll go for sure! I Met Dans folks and they said to say hi
and wish you the best. Morrey's headed to Logan for the weekend and Jakes folks
are in town til Monday so they are spending time with them. Tomorrow is the
Super Bowl and we are going to Dotys after church, I don't care who wins I just
go to visit. I'm keeping up my running/walking to get in better shape and to
take better care of myself, hope you will be able to keep up with me when we go
running down the canyon. Mr. Springville is tonight not sure who is doing it
other than Cordon. How did the deep cleaning of the apartment go? So you did
get the package right, do you need deodorant, toothpaste, allergy med or
anything else? How have you been feeling health wise, and do your allergies
bother you at all there or does the humidity help that? How are the clothes and
shoes holding up? Did you ever get a coat and rain gear? I love your stories
and your experiences you are having? I have to say how much I loved seeing that
face, pictures help me stay focused on what you are doing and how you are
doing! We have some from the swim meet we are sending. Please be safe and take
excellent care of our Caden please! If you need anything please let us know.

Love you very
much son and appreciate you too, hugs and kisses. Have a wonderful week and
keep smilin, that's one of your many attributes I admire
Hi bro
How was your
week? It was cool to hear from Elder Willes folks, they emailed us some pics
and said how happy they were that you and their son were able to serve together.
It sure is awesome that you have had pretty good companions. Our week was
pretty average. Family night was story telling at the church followed by a trip
to chic fila. Tuesday we were able to chill at home, mom fixed a nice dinner
and we hung out. Wednesday we went out to joe bandidos for dinner,
Thursday we had take home brick oven Alfredo and Pasta. (I live for brick
oven food) Friday we went to The region Swim meet to watch Syd, then dinner at
la dolce vita (more pasta delight!) Saturday we went different directions mom
went to the swim meet, I'm sure she will tell you more about it.. I went
sledding with Brad Ross, Steve and E Lancaster. We went up to the cabin so I
could run irvin and jasper around.. We have not had any new snow since the
holidays so sledding has been pretty poor. But the old machines ran OK plus we
were able to go for a little ride.. There was quite a bit of fog-clouds so
vision was pretty bad.. Saturday night mom and I did a Costco run and chilled
at home. Super Bowl Sunday is this week, patriots vs Seahawks we will be
heading up to dotys after church..
You look
really good in the pictures we've seen I hope you are having a good time, we
are blessed because of your service. Mom and I were talking today about why I
take people fishing and snowmobiling and I said it was like religion and
sharing the gospel.. When the experience or message is so awesome you just
want-need to share it.. I know missions are hard but when you get to share what
makes you happy it makes it a little better right?
Thanks again
for serving!
Love ya bro
Dad
hey
guys! it was an incredible week here in banqiao! we saw plenty of
miracles and had fun in the process! I loved the training at Jin Hua this week
that was what we needed, trainings give me just a little boost to work even
harder than ever before! We also had the opportunity to see an
investigator quit from 15 cigarettes to none in one day! it was incredible and
he attended last nights fireside and is very excited for his baptism in two
weeks, the Lord can change people! that investigator about two months ago had
met with us and we thought that he had no interest and just had friends at
church and wanted to come, then we taught him the doctrines of the church and
he has applied them and he understands why it is so important! so cool! we also
got to visit two LA's this week who have never answered our phone calls before
and it was interesting to have lessons with them and answer their questions and
study for them, before these questions may have made me think, but now I
realize everything has an answer as we turn to the scriptures and to prayer! we
also had very spiritual moments in this week too! on sunday all of the
testimonies in our sacrament meeting were exactly what one of our LA's needed
to hear and you could almost feel him changing as he was sending us texts from
his scripture studies that made him want to improve! Me and Elder Gray had an
exchange lesson with a recent convert and she talked about how she felt that
she could trust in the Lords grace! we discussed the picture of Christ
descending from Heaven and she cried, I was really close and the whole lesson
was just so spiritual! Last of all our "Team Jesus" miracles! we had
two lessons on the street and gave out two copies of the Book of Mormon two an
aborigine and Filipino lady who will soon be meeting with the missionaries in
tucheng and linkou! I love this work and seeing the many ways it blesses
everyone!!!

but super worth it you know that!
but alright,
now I have some questions! first off! what was your favorite part of your
mission, you dave and jake! and also what people can we me and you, right now,
touch and get them to understand the importance of the gospel? I can think of
some but I want to hear your guys ideas, and last but not least, hard times in
life that you have felt the Lord or you have gotten over, you can ask anyone
these questions but I want your guys answers too, they help me, investigators,
and maybe you guys too. I love you all! have a great week PS crazy stuff, I got
railed by a car yesterday it was hilarious! I got thrown into a bush and
miraculously my bike the car and my body are all perfectly fine! it is funny
