"Thou art called to labor in my vineyard, and to build up my church, and to bring forth Zion, that it may rejoice upon the hills and flourish. Behold, verily, verily, I say unto thee, thou art not called to go into the eastern countries, but thou art called to go to the Ohio. And inasmuch as my people shall assemble themselves at the Ohio, I have kept in store a blessing such as is not known among the children of men, and it shall be poured forth upon their heads. And from thence men shall go forth into all nations. Wherefore, go forth, crying with a loud voice saying: The kingdom of heavn is at hand: crying: Hosanna! Blessed be the name of the Most High God. Go forth baptizing with water, preparing the way before my face for the time of my coming." --Doctrine and Covenants 39: 13-15, 19-20

Hi Mom and Dad,
It was great talking to yinz.  I enjoyed it so much.  It was great but now I am back to work. It's raining again here so that's pretty disappointing but hey that's all it does here. Well, love you all and say Hi to everyone that wasn't there on Christmas for me. Well, I'll talk to yinz next week  Love you.

It was so great to skype with you yesterday.  I can't believe we talked for 3 hours - it was awesome.  So I looked up the meaning of the word "yinz" for you. 

Yinz-(Irish)(Second person plural) from the greater Pittsburgh dialect, plural of 'you', or 'you ones'. It is equivalent to y'all' of the southern US. Its origin is Irish, and came into common use with the immigration of the Scotch/Irish people to western Pennsylvania.  

Hope that helps.  We are so proud of you and so grateful for your missionary service.  Keep up the good work -- I know it will pay off.  It already has because you have grown so much in the gospel for which I am personally so thankful for.  Hugs & kisses!!!  Mom
