So yeah...Not much to really tell ya since Christmas. I got my package on the 26th! All was well in it! THANK YOU!!!! I really enjoyed all of it, and am excited to draw some really neat pictures in my new fancy sketchbook!
Last I hear from Jared is that he is doing fine! He says they shovel tract to each door. They shovel out their walk-way and he says they are more receptive! So thats cool! I can't even imagine that!
Also Ben Hillman, Brianne's twin Brother got his mission call to Zimbabwe Herare Africa!! He leaves March 3rd! So thats cool!
Don't worry. The phone call didn't bring me down. Thats part of the reason I shared a scripture with everyone...so I wouldn't get home sick! I'm so smart huh?! Haha! Jk! It was super great to talk to everyone! I really enjoyed it! and look foward to mothers day! hope all is still well.
Here is the website with a vision of the spirit world.

Uh....forgot what I told you.....Sorry. Just give me a call whenever. Perferrably not in the early morning cause my comp said he will be calling his family......uh.....we'll work something out and I will let you know some how! :D
I only got one package...I opened it, and saw jerky, I'm guessing thats perishable. Right? It's in the fridge! Thanks for the new Era's and Ensigns! I loved it! and have enjoyed reading them! I will keep a look out for the second package. I also got a package from Grandma and Grandpa R. with some home made chocolates! Yum!
This week was a super great week....but not so much for missionary work...:( On Wednesday me and my comp were able to go to the temple for a recent convert endowment. Elder Nelson was asked to be his Escort...so consequensly I got to tag along too! I learned so many new things! It was a really great experience! Alot of the Lecanto/Inverness memebers work at the temple on wednesday, so we just got a ride! from them! Then went to a Zone Conferance on Thursday, and saw Elder Justin Merrill there! we went to school together! So that was neat! So it was a really spiritual week.....Just didn't have much time to tract and such.
Also, For Christmas President Darrington gave all of us a Book of Mormon and told us to mark in red everything refering to Jesus Christ and when he speaks and such......so me and my comp have started that....and wow! I knew it talked of Christ alot....but I'm really suprised of how red some of those pages are! so thats pretty cool! All is well with me! and am glad to hear all is well with all of you....minus some lack of speaking due to laringitis. :D
Have a Merry Christmas! and I'll TALK to you later! :D

I did get one package....I'm guessing it is the perishable one cause it's square, and I opened it and found honey! So thank you!! I didn't however open the wrapped items. My comp told me to wait. So wait I will. I have not recieved the other package as of today. But I also haven't checked the mail yet either. So thank you! And once I get to the post office to get boxes and send stuff, you will also get a package!
Sounds like the bathroom is going to be neat-o! I hope the toilets aren't to high.....I like have my feet on the ground! haha! This week I did missionary work, the usual stuff. But one night there was a mix up on exchanges and the bishop got upset and so we set up a meeting with him and worked things out and got it all taken care of.....but that was the most exciting thing of the week! except we did get one investigator to church! It was Frank Hyer! He said he enjoyed it and will think of some questions to ask us on Wednesday. That is also the day me and my comp get to go to the temple, and also Stop at boyd's bookstore.....So I plan on getting me some neat-o stuff there! for study! So thats sum it up.
As for calling...President told me to have you call me! So if you call at five there, then it will be seven here? if you call our cell phone at seven, we get free minutes, and thats also what my comp told me. So call when it's seven in florida.
If that doesn't work or something......I'll call you guys. or something....? I dno't know. Ok. bye.

Those pictures are just ones that Sister williams took and printed out. So I thought I would send them to you for thanksgiving! You should be THANKFUL you got pictures...as I see it! Lets not be too greedy mother! You will get your pictures soon enough!
As far as calling home I think I have 45 min. to an hour to talk, and I will prolly be able to call from a members home! Prolly pretty early.........we are four hours ahead of you guys....so if I call at noon it will be eight for you. So I will find out for sure when I'll be calling! mmmkay.
Not much has happened this week. I tracted alot and such. I got a calender for next year! It's an Office one so I can read the little quotes and laugh to myself.
Pretty neat that you get some remodled poop rooms! Will I even be able to tell that I am home in two years? Sounds like alot of fun is happening. Corgin sounds really smart. I hope you guys are telling him about me! He better know who I am when I return or Ill be pissed!
as far as the music goes...I have thought about it, and read the rules concerning music in the white hand book, and have come to the conclusion that it is ok. President gaves us other qualifications also and they fit in with that! So I'm pretty sure it's ok!
I will try to send the package either this week or next. depending on when I have time! I like New Eras! (hint) yep! so have a great week! I get to go to the Temple this next week on the 16th! ok. peace

Sounds cool! We ate at teh bishops house and got to know him better, which was good! Then me and my comp went to the Romney's and watched this really good video about teh book of mormon! it was so spiritual! But before all of that we played soccer with the Romney's and Ellis's and that was alot of fun! President Darrington also granted permission for all missionaries to watch the BYU vs Utah game on Saturday night! So we went to a memebers house to watch that and it was a really good game! BYU made alot of mistakes but totally redeemed themselve in Over-Time! so that was cool! This week was alot of fun! but also got some work done! so thatss cool!

hmmm. I'm glad you liked that last letter.
HAPPY THANKSGIVINGDAY!!! on thursday.
I have a feeling I am going to be very well fed. we already have two dinners and heard a possibility of a third! We are going to eat and hang out with this really cool family, and one of teh youngest in the ward. They are the Romney's. and I think they are realted to like marion G. but don't quote me on that! Then Bishop Sampson and his wife also invited us over for dinner! So we will visit them. So no worries about me! I'll be well fed. and The Romney's want to show us this movie about the reflections of Christ Another testament dealio....they say it's really good! and we're going to play soccer there too! So it shall be fun!
Corgin is a little "mini me?" Cool! "I shall call him mini me!" (with pinky elevated to mouth in a Dr. Evil fashion) :D So how did the deal work out with katie and the accident? Was the car totalled or fixable? did the insurance pay for it? Sounds like all is well and good. All is well and good with me! I could use more pants! But I did get a new three piece suit at a thrift store! it's pretty cool! and my tie collection is impressive. What I would like alot is the john bytheway collection I have, and I saw he has a second collection also that I would delight in! also my own personal ensign's would be neat starting with last conferance's report. (novembers) I did get myself a cd player, and some really nice speakers and have some burned cd's that are pretty good! So thats all set. I think thats basically all I really want or need. If I think of anything else I'll tell ya!
Picked up a sweet new "gator" this week! his name is Rex DeMerritt! He is really really smart and he really know's the Bible well, but is humble enough to listen to us! He loves Joseph Smiths story, and wants a copy of Joseph Smith's history...So we will work on that. He seems real positive so that is cool. Also did a real big service project. a giant food give-away for the needy. it was really neat! alot of good people were helped out! So that was cool. Other than that....same ol' same ol. Just tracting, eating, sleeping, and the spirit. I like honey.....some more would be nice! :D
Love Elder me.
