Hello Mom and Dad,
I am just doing fantastic out here in the boonies of Ohio haha. I love
it out here, but sadly we haven't had any snow this whole year.
This has been the warmest winter I have ever seen in my life that is
for sure. So, yes, we are getting a new president his name is Micheal L. Villenga
from Clinton Utah, and I don't know too much else. I do know that they will
be sending their son out on a mission the day they come to Cleveland
and they will also have their daughter living with them but that is
about it. Dad, if you really want to take a picture of your truck, you can, but that
is probably why I am so far away from Cleveland right now haha.
So we are now teaching a lot of new people and we are very excited
about it. We have three families and a couple of individuals that we found
by our personal finding. The Spanish investigator was referred by
his sister and we taught them one lesson so far and we are trying to
get back over there this Thursday. So far we have had a very
successful week and it has been great.
So i hope Grandma's service goes well and I am sure it will.
I hope that you know you and dad have both been amazing examples to me.
So on p-days out in Bryan we do.... NOTHING!!! YAY.. we are so far
away from any missionaries that we just clean and sleep and that's
about it. There truly is not to much to see out in the plains.
Just some flat land and dead stuff because its winter haha. But I'll
try my best to get some good pictures out here. I'll try to send some
picture soon maybe today I'll find out.
So how is the family doing? I haven't heard too much other than Alyssa
moving. Anything new happening? Well, I love you all and it's great to
hear from you,
Love

Hey Mom and Dad,
I have been doing great and have been enjoying the new area a lot.
Well Bryan, Ohio has taken me to many different places. So far, since I
have been here, I have been to Toledo, Findlay and Bowling Green, but
those are not in our area, we just went there on p day. There are a
lot of small towns in this area, Bryan is usually where we are but we
have gone to Defience and Montpilliar as well. It’s a really
interesting area. There is a lot of farming that is for sure. There
are a lot of Menonites here but they are not too exciting; they are
just like normal people pretty much, no horse and buggy’s. So far we
have taught a few Spanish speaking people and we are going to teach one on
Thursday who seems very interested.
It’s good to hear that you are doing a lot for Grandmas funeral and I’m
glad you are doing well through this time. I am excited that you get
to do the work for her and I hope that she will accept it as well. I
know Grandpa has and I really hope that she will too.
Well you did tell me about Alyssa and Kent but I never really responded
but it’s great to hear about that from them. I hope she enjoys that
area of Utah. haha it’s pretty hot and dry... But she needs to stay out
there for those two years so when I get back I can go hiking over in
that area and have a reason to drive over there haha.
Well thank you all for what you have done for me. I don't know if I
have ever thanked you for not letting me fall away and always loving
me. I don't know how much I can thank you Mom and Dad but I do hope
that you know I love you and I always will. Your influences in my life
helped me through so much and I never noticed until I got out here. I
love you both and thank you so much.

I was reading about a week ago and I just wanted to share something that I was able to notice.
In Enos it talks about him not following the ways of his father, but
because of what his father had taught him, he remembered the ways of
his father and after he finally wanted to know for himself and humble
himself, he came back to the ways of the Lord. I hope you know that
what you have taught all of your kids; they will always remember and
in time and maybe when they notice that something is missing in their
lives, they will return. Love you all and I hope you have a great week.
Love,
