Hi Mom and Dad!
I am glad that you got the postcard. I sent one to Grandma and Grandpa so
hopefully they get it. I cannot believe that Halloween is on Friday we were suppose to have a Halloween party but we are being commanded to be in the house at 6 pm. So that means we cant go that is kind of sad because we were planning all of the activities, a little lame, oh well that means that I can just have a good nap and sleep! I don’t know if I told you but President asked us to read the book of Mormon for the month of October and I finished it last Sunday, it was so awesome its just great to be able to read it in such a short time because you seem to get so much out of it and I loved it,especially just all of the warning that is gives us, you know I was thinking a lot about one thing that it said I believe that Mormon said it or Moroni I am not really sure but he was talking about the church in the last days and that you are going to see a lot of people that will wear costly apparel and will set there things on the things of the world. It just said that his warning was like a warning from the dust of the earth because he is already dead so that was really cool. It really got me thinking about how vain I have been.
There have been so many things that I just figured that I had to have and
I just went out and got them it just makes me think about truly what is
important in life and why do we have to be so prideful? I have really tried
to change my life around a little and put those things first and well its
just since reading the book of Mormon so fast have seen a change in the
way that I look at life, its truly amazing. I am trying to pick up on French,
I am just working a lot on pronunciations so that I can start reading because
if you can read then you will be able to talk faster and learn faster so
that is what I am focusing on, its been great for sure. Virgin Gorda was
good its been fun I don’t like it that much because its just so small and if
I never go back there to work I would be perfectly fine its just weird when
it takes you fifteen minutes to walk the area that they can work. Rose and
Esther are coming along really well its been really fun seeing them grow, and actually start to have tat desire to be baptized well as you would know we actually had our zone conference yesterday so we got the chance to go over to St. Thomas and it was really great, President and I talked a lot, he is a great guy he said that I have a great attitude and so that was nice to hear!
Elder Dixon will more than likely be leaving he is ready to go its
just a matter of time two more weeks I guess hahaha. So did you decide if you were going to get a horse? I absolutely love the photos that you send to me! I put them in my scriptures so that I can always have them handy to show people. I love you guys so much. Actually people seem to say that you and your Dad are pretty different because they say that I am a little city boy and its funny to think that I have a Dad like that, its just not what they expected and then I tell them I have killed my fair share of animals and they laugh at me and think that I am not serious. It is so funny! I also have decided that I will just keep my car, so please get it nice and fixed up maybe even finish the interior for me that would be the greatest, I wanted a nice car but I decided there is just no point of getting a new one that would just be selfish, so maybe you could get me some nice big rims and just get it really fixed up before I get home that would be the best thing everrrrrrrererererererererrrrrrr. Things are great here I am loving it! We have started a English class and we are seeing lots of success I am teaching people Spanish and Elder Dixon is teaching English so that is cool, but other than that nothing much more. Love You!
