Dear Family,

How are you guys doing? I\'m doing pretty good. Sorry its taken so long for me to get Don\'s letter to you guys to send off to hem. I kept forgetting to send it, but I guess its better late then never. I am doing pretty good. I have been pretty busy the last couple of weeks since I last wrote you. I\'m still trying to contact all the less active members in the area, which is easier said than done. Mostly cause there are so many dirt roads that people live all of up here it almost impossible to find anyone up here that I haven\'t been to before. It would be nice if I had a GPS, but they are pretty expensive and I don\'t have the money to get one. I got a hair cut today cause my hair was getting really hot and it was bugging me alot. So I had Tracy cut it with a #2 on the clippers she had. Which is about 1/4 of an inch. It feels and looks good and by the time Summer is done up here I\'ll be about ready for another haircut. A couple of sad things happened this week. First is on Monday we went over to see our investigator that had a baptismal date but when we got there his girlfriend, how is a less active member that is coming back to church, told us that they got in an argument which ended up with him hitting her and her kicking him out of her house. Which is sad because our only investigator that was progressing is now living back in Bloomington with his parents. But it is good cause we had just taught the two about the Law of Chastity and how living together and not being married was breaking the Law of Chastity. To bad it had to happen the way it did. Second sad thing is I sliced my right hand open yesterday while doing service at a members house. At first we thought it was deep enough for me to have to get stitches but instead I just bandaged it up and it has since scabbed over and started to heal. I will send a picture on Monday so that you can see it. Other than those things nothing really exciting has happened. There is a guy that got called to the West Virginia Charleston Mission the other day which I though was pretty cool seeing how Karrie went to that mission. I hope everything is going good for you guys. Love you and think about you alot.

Love Ya,

Elder Taylor T Gull

PS Thanks for sending those meds. Its really helping with my allergies.

Dear Family

Sorry its been a couple weeks since I last wrote you guys. I have been really busy and it seems like I am even busier on P-Day then any other day. It’s been really busy the last couple weeks. Me and Elder Stokes have been working real hard to get to know all the Less Active Members or Part Members in our Area, which isn’t as easy as it sounds because there is a lot of them. Plus most people have work down the hill in Los Angeles or other places near LA. So a lot of people are gone during the day. We have however found some new investigators recently. There is this guy named Christopher Jordan, he is the boyfriend of a member who is trying to get back into coming to church. The first time we met them, she called and asked us to give him a Priesthood Blessing cause he had been jumped while he was paying for gas. They broke his jaw in two places and did some other things to him. I can’t really remember what though. But when we talked to them the day after the blessing. He said how he felt something, since then they have both quit smoking and we have set a baptismal date with him. This guy is really sold. It is pretty cool to talk to this guy and see his excitement to learn more about the Church. There is another person that we have somewhat started teaching that used to be one of the “Top Dogs” in a gang down in Los Angeles. But moved up here because he wants to turn his life around and learn about God. This area is starting to pick up and show some results for all the hard work I’ve been doing since I got here. I am getting better, but my allergies are still really bad. Before I forget, Happy Birthday to Mom and Kaytie. I’ll try to get something for you guys on Monday but for right now I’m broke. How is everyone doing. Its crazy that school is out again. It seems just like yesterday Del and Don graduated and now in August Kaytie is going to be a Senior in High School. That’s crazy. I’m gonna try to do a better job of keeping you informed in whats going on. I have really been slacking with that lately. Actually I have not been doing a good job with that my whole mission. I’m doing good though. I am really enjoying my mission and really like helping everyone out that will let me. I’m glad that I came on a mission instead of missing out on this awesome blessing. I know this is where I need to be there is no doubt in my mind anymore. A mission really has helped me to become a better person. I don’t get angry as much with people and I can actually stop and talk to people that I don’t know. Probably not to the extent Don does, never was as talkative as him. But most important my mission has taught me how much family really does matter. I miss you guys more than anything but I know I am making you guys proud being out here. I hope everyone is okay. Write me a letter. I like emails but I like letters better. Love you guys.

Love

Hi Jaymie,
I just met your son on Tuesday at transfers. I took a couple of pictures of him & his new companion Elder Stocker. I knew Elder Stocker from our stake, he was working with a friend of ours that was baptized in our ward but actually was in Elder Stocker's boundaries. I'll enclose the pictures I took of them.

Tomorrow is transfer day and i am staying put for 6 more weeks but elder Potts is getting transferred. its crazy how fast this transfer has gone by. i only have 5 more 6 weeks periods and then i am done. it seems like time is not on my side right now. at the same time i am happy for all the things that i have experiences that i have had. sorry i didnt write a long email. i am going to send a letter hopefully this week just need to get it wrote. well ill talk to you on Sunday.

April 18, 2012

hey how are you all doing? im doing really good in the mission field, there are not a lot of people for me and my companion to teach but we have been working really hard to find people to teach. the other day it rained and alot of the dirt roads had puddles of water on the and my the time we got to our apartment at the end of the day. the truck that we have was covered in mud. we havent been able to clean it yet but we need to get it clean before pres sees it. we got to go to the temple as a zone. it was really cool. the only problem is that i was like 30 minutes late so i wasnt able to do a session but i was able to do inititories while we were there. its really fun and its interesting all the different people that i meet everyday. i cant believe that in 9 months i will be done with me mission. its crazy to think how fast time has flown. its crazy to think that don is going to be on a mission on tuesday, again its crazy how fast time has flown. so whats new with all y'all? i really like it here in adelanto, a lot of people say that it is really ghetto but its no worse than san bernardino, and the people here are really open. we found a new investigator the other day, we had tracted into her last thursday but yesterday we went over and had a lesson with her, we taught the plan of salvation with her and she said that mormons make the most sense out of all the religions she has investigatied, currently she says she is agnostic, but she is really accepting so hopefully we can get her baptized, but its gonna be a while before we get to that point. i got the package that mom and dad sent to me today. thanks for all the things that were in it. the only problem is that me companion isnt eating sweets, so i am going to have to eat all the stuff myself, but ill just keep working out and i should be fine. its crazy i have gained i think 25 pounds while i have been out so instead of being 185 i am now 210 its crazy. but the members in the wards i have been in have fed me well just so you wont have to worry mom :). well i cant think of anything else to write hope y'all like it. i love you guys and think of you a lot
Love Ya,
Elder Taylor T Gull

April 2, 2012

hey how is everyone?
i am doing good. if you didnt know i was transferred last tuesday and now i am in adelanto instead of rancho. i really like here we have a truck that we drive cause there are a lot of dirt roads here. me and my companion live in a 3 bed 2 bath house, and we have no roomates it is just us there. my comps name is elder potts and he is from fort worth texas. he is a really cool guy. there isnt a lot of work here but we are working hard to get the work going. its nice being back in the desert i like the valley but it just seems too crowded for me. i am still a district leader and i have the samoan elders and a couple sisters and some senior missionaries too. so i have a big district. i alo have a HUGE area. it goes from palmdale road all the way to the county above san bernardino county. and from hwy 395 and aldelanto road to the la county. its the biggest area that i have been. how has everyone been? i hope everything is going good. talk to you later

hey how are you? i am doing good. sorry i havent wrote a letter in a couple weeks i have been very busy on p day (so much for p-day being a day off). well this is my last monday in the hillside ward, i got the call on saturday that i was getting transferred so i get to pack all of my stuff, which is always fun. this last 6 weeks went by really fast and its crazy that a new transfer is starting tomorrow. i wonder where i am going, its always cool to see where i will go and who my new companion will be. hope fully i get a companion who like to work hard too. the past few weeks me and my companion have been tracting a lot cause we are trying to get the work going in this area and so we have been meeting a lot of interesting people lately. the other day we had set a return appointment with a potential investigator, and when we went to go have a lesson with her. her husband came out with 3 Anti-Mormon videos and he tried to "educate" us on how this church is just a cult and how we believe in a different christ... stuff that doesnt really make sence if they would just think about what they are saying. when stuff like this happens its just adds to my terstimony that this is really christs church, because if it wasnt there wouldnt as many people trying to prove its wrong. it was really hard saying bye to people. unlike in my last areas, i guess i am getting more attached to people. i have had a couple people that they are going to miss me, cause i am such a nice and funny person. the thing that i think is crazy is in june my trainer and follow up trainer go home, when i came out they had been kout for 7 1/2 months and now they are going home in 3 months its crazy time is going by really fast.how is everyone back home? when does don go on his mission again? i have talked to a couple of people in this area that are from southern brazil around where don will be for his mission and they said he will fit in there cause most of the people have the same skin as me, so him too, the only thing is that he will be taller than most of them. how is del doing? when does he start training is it next week or the week after that? ill have to go look up kayties pictures sometime. i went on last week and got a couple of the pictures of me with long hair cause no one believes me when i tell the i used to have long hair so i got the pictures to prove it. :) well i hope everything is going good with you guys. i love you and you are in my prayers. crazy general confrence is this week, before we know it mothers day will be here.
Love ya,

hey how are you guys doing this week? i am doing really good, its week
5 of this transfer so next saturday is transfer calls and i will find
out if i am going to stay in this area for 6 more weeks or if i will
get the boot and go to a new area. yesterday at church a guy gave his
farewell talk at church, it was really good. he is going to
Chihuahua,mexico and reports to the mtc next wenesday. after church
his family invited us to have lunch with them at their house on top of
archibald. we went to it, and the only problem was we took our car to
pep boys to get the brakes worked on so we had to bike up to the
house. it was a really long ride and we were tired by the time that we
got to their house. it was a really fun time at their house but the
ride back to the apartment was really fun when we rode down archibald.
the work is going good in this ward is coming along. we had to stop
going over to a couple investigators because they werent progressing
or doing any of the things that we asked them to do. i hate doing it
but its for their good and dont want to waste their time as well as
ours. we have been trying to get splits going again, hope fully we
can do it. the elders quarom president and high priest group leader
are wanting to do it, hope fully we can get the rest of the ward
excited for it also. im sorry i have been slacking on writing back
letters i have been super busy and i havent had the time. for a couple
weeks i have been wanting to send a letter with a bunch of advice in
it for both del and don. but i havent got around to it and i feel bad.
i just need to make time on mondays and it should work out. this
monday isnt going to be like the rest since our car is in the shop,
but we are going to be doing service for a lady in our ward so i will
not have a whole lot of free time during the day. how is everyone?
well i got to go so one of my roomates can get on the computer to
check their emails. have a good week ill talk to you later.
Love,
Elder Taylor Thompson Gull :)

March 5, 2012

hey,

i am doing good. this week has gone by really fast, time is going by super fast its really nice but at the same time its not. its crazy to think that i have a little more than 10 months left. its crazy. when i first came out here it seemed like it was going to take forever, but now the end of my mission is going to be here before i know it. i really like the ward that i am in, i have a feeling like i am going to be in the ward for 6 months just like i was in san bernardino. but well have to see what happens on the saturday before the 27 to see if i am going to stay for another 6 weeks or if i will be leaving. me and my new companion are getting a long really well, he is from arizona and he used to ride bulls before he cam out. the work in the ward is going good, its slow right now cause we have had to drop a couple of our investigators cause they were not progressing or keeping any of the commitments that we asked them to do. so because of that we have been tracting like a couple hours a day looking for new people to teach. havent had much success yet but i know that well be able to find someone and we have been also been going over to a lot of the members houses and teaching them the lessons, mostly the restoration, and after the lesson we ask them if they know any one that we can go over and teach, they are getting more excited about missionary work which is really good. thanks again for the food that you dropped off it helped me out a bunch because i had barley any food and there was still a couple weeks until the first of the month. but i survived the only had thing is that the rolls that you gave me before i was able to eat them. my roomates really enjoyed the cinnamon rolls that you gave me. the are good but they are not as good as moms cinnamon rolls. but i guess beggars cant be choosers. how is the family doing? hows del? i wish i could have been there when uncle george and aunt sherry went through but i will be able to go with them after my mission. i wish i could find someone like uncle george out here to teach. i hope that someday they will send me to bloomington. hope you guys have a good week.

Love,

Elder Taylor T. Gull

p.s. are you going to send a cd and dvd for grampie like you did for grannie?

February 27, 2012

hey,
thanks for the groceries that you guys dropped off. when you sent the text message saying that you wanted to drop some stuff off for me my companion had the phone and since it was a number that the phine didnt know he thought that it was for a drug deal. im glad that you guys were able to see del and drop off a bunch of stuff for me. i greatly apprecitate it, earlier that day i had no food, all i had was a loaf of bread some peanut butter and jelly and a little bit of milk. my new companion is named elder schultz. he is from Surprise, Arizona.(its a real place) he has been out for almost 4 months i am his 2nd companion. his first area was the colton ward which i am jeouls of. last p day since we couldnt go to the libraries to email we went and hicked Mt. Cucamonga. it was really fun except for the north side of the mountain(the part we couldnt see) was covered in snow but we still went all the way to the top. another bad thing is i forgot my camera at the apartment so i wasnt able to take any pictures while i was up there. but my companion and roommates did so i will take some of there pictures. some thing crazy happened the other day, so i was riding home on my bike cause we decided to take a bike day and we were going home for lunch. so i was going really fast down the sidewalk and tried to make the turn into the drive way put i was about to crash into the sign in the middle of the two driveways. so i pulled on my back then front breaks and used too much front brake so i flew off my bike and hit my shoulder and hand into the sign. i am ok other than i bruised my shoulder and cut the palm of my right hand. such is the life of a missionary i guess. i am doing really good though, its crazy how fast time is flying. alot of the people that i met when i first cam out on my mission are going home in 9 to 15 weeks its crazy. my trainer goes home in june and when he goes home i only have 7 1/2 months left its crazy. also keith is going to be home before to long. its really fun out here. how is everyone doing? hope to get to talk to you for a little bit.

February 13, 2012

hey, 

A lot has happened this week. for starters i am not getting transfered but i am getting a new companion tomorrow. i am feeling a lot better than i have in a couple weeks and i am doing really good apart from my right shoulder hurting for what seems no reason. i talked to the medical lady and she told me to talk some ibeporfen and see if it helps so well have to see. the other day a family that me and elder crozer are teaching took us to ferrels and while we were there i ate the pig trough and after i finished eating it they made me stand on the booth and shout that i was a piggy. it was really fun plus the ice crweam there is really good. it always seems like there is always a party in there. it would be so much fun to work there but at the same time proably not. i have been talking to a guy in my current ward, who retired from the air force in 2002 and i told him how i might go in the military after my mission and he told me if i do to get into the air force cause that would be the best for me. i dont know what i waant to do after my mission and i know i shouldnt worry about it, but my mission is going to be done before i know it so i have just been talking to a lot of people about what theyt do. how is everyone doing? hope everything is going good. i love you guys.

Love,
Elder Taylor T. Gull :)

hey, im good and everything is going good for me. My Thaksgiving was really good we went to the relief society president inthe wards house for thanksgiving and got fed a lot i was surprised they didnt have to roll me out, with how much i ate.  :). i like my new area it is pretty small, and we have a car which is good cause the area goes up the side of the mountain which wouldnt be real fun to bike up.  the boundaries of the area are from foothill to the side of the mountain and amethyst to haven. its a really skinny area. my companion is elder crozer he is from bountiful/woods cross. he was been out for about 3 months and i am his second companion. so i am follow up traning him, which isnt anything special.  he was already in this area which i good couse i would have been really lost if we both would have come into the area together. it is weird to be the senior companion now, cause i am the one making all the desicions but at the same time i like it cause it shows that president has some trust im me.  i was sad that i was having to move right before thanksgiving but i really like this ward. the people are really friendly, even though i felt like they were judging me yesterday to see if i would be a good missionary. they have had some really not so good missionaries in the ward and so i am having to work extra hard to build their trust, which is fine by me cause i really like to work hard. the building that i go to for church is the hillside building. it is the biggest churchi have been to on my mission but our church back home is still bigger.  i actually spaced that it was my birthday until a few days ago cause i have been working so hard that i really havent been thinking about it. and the weather here is so different than it is back home that it doesnt even feel like christmas. its kinda weird to see christmas lights on palm trees. i miss the snow and the cold. i kinda wanted to go to the mountains this transfer, but heavenly father had different plans for me. i dont know what those plans are but i hope i can find out.  so to answer your question of what i want ffor christmas and my birthday. i really dont know i will be fine with anything that you give me. i guess i could use some more socks caue the one s that i have are almost a dark blure instead of black. other than that i dont know. sorry :(.  well sorry this wasnt very long i dont know what else to write. hopefully i will get to talk to you also. its weird to think that in a couple more weeks i will get to call home and a couple more after that i will have been out for a year its crazy how fast time is going by. hope everything is going good back home. im sorry to hear about grannie that ghas to be really hard, ill keep praying for her, and maybe that will help.

Love You,
Elder Taylor T. Gull

November 21, 2011

hey
this week was pretty good i found out on saturday that i am going to be gettign transferred tomorrow. i didnt really want to leave but i know that i am needed wherever i am going next. on saturday me and my companion went up to lake arrowhead to help the elders and the sisters in running springs with a devotional that they were putting on up there. right before the meeting started the arrowhead elders got a call from president godwin saying that he was on his way up but because of the fog being so thick they couldnt find their way on the 18. so they went and guided them to the church building, but while they were gone it was our turn to sing the song that we had practiced to sing. so it was just me my companion and the sister missionaries singing instead of the 6 of us, but i think it still sounded fine. after the meeting got finished president godwin pulled me aside and asked me if i was ready to become a senior companion cause there was a missionary that needed some help and he thought that i was the one that could do it. so this next transfer i am going to be a senior companion i am kinda nervous. it good to hear that everyone is doing good. i dont think i am going to get on facebook anymore cause i get distracted for the rest of the week when i get on. i have only seen connie a couple time but i am going over to say bye to her and her husband. i still ahave a little cough and i am still coughing up phlem but i am doing better. i got my whole apartment sick so i kinda feel bad for that. but i have given elder slaughter a blessing so hell be ok. i hope i get to talk to you today.
Love,
Elder Taylor T. Gull

DearJessie, 

          It's crazy all the things that have happened since last year. Hard to believe that one year ago I didn't really have a testimony and you were trying to help me come back to church. I will never forget the night that we sat on your back porch talking and looking through your EFY book. And then I pushed you into the little kiddie pool later in the week. :) I am also glad for making the final decision to go on a mission. It's crazy to think of all the blessings that will come from this. Even now I can feel some changes happening. I talk to more people than I used to when I was home. I am learning so much and I am helping people come to Christ, and make HUGE changes in their lives. Speaking of which, crazy as it sounds but the next 5 weeks me and my companion have 4 baptismal dates set and it looks like they will all get baptized. The hike last week was really fun. We hiked over a bunch of rocks in a dry wash to a waterfall and a "pond" underneath it. I got sunburned during the hike. It's better now, even though it hurt for a couple days. I remembered to take my camera so I took some pictures of it. Tomorrow is transfer day. I am not getting transferred again, which is good cause I really like it where I am, even though it gets pretty hot and kinda humid. How is summer going? How is your family doing? When does senior year start up? Thanks for having confidence in me. Sorry if you can't read this, this was the only pen that I could find today.

Your Best Friend,

Elder Taylor T Gull

Dear Family,

How is everyone doing?  How is the summer going so far for everyone?  I hope you all are safe and having fun with whatever you are doing.  Sorry it took so long for me to write you guys back.  As for my mission, in 6 days I will have been out here for 6 months.  It is crazy how fast time is going by.  It seems like it wasn't that long ago that I said goodbye to all of you before going to the MTC.  I can't believe that I almost past up this experience by not going.  It has helped me grow more than anything else could have.  It also has helped me appreciate you guys more.  There is a member in my ward right now that is moving up to Cedar City in a couple days and last week when my companion and I had dinner with him he wanted me to tell you guys that he and his wife are grateful for the sacrifice that you guys are making while I am out here on a mission.  I am going to have another baptism tomorrow.  The lady that is getting baptized walked into church the Sunday before I came to this ward and told the missionaries who were here that her uncle told her if she ever needed a church that she should go to the Mormon church on Pacific.  We have been teaching her since I got here and have set 3 dates with her but because of things that keep coming up we had to keep pushing it back.  So it will be good to have her get baptized tomorrow cause Satan has been working really hard to prevent her from getting baptized.  I am really enjoying this area and my mission even though the heat is not fun.  I know that I am still the same Taylor, but at the same time I feel like a different person than I was before the MTC, it's really strange.  Thanks for all of the things that you have done for me in my life.  I know that I wouldn't be the person I am today if it wasn't for the example that you all set for me in my life.  That includes you too Del, Don, and Kaytie, even though you are younger than me.  I love you all.  I hope all is well.

Love ya,

Elder Taylor T. Gull

Dear Family,

How is everyone doing.  Like you all probably know I got transferred this week so I am no longer in Apple Valley anymore.  My new area is in San Bernardino serving in the 1st ward.  I am also in a car area so I am not riding my bike, at least for this transfer.  Elder Teichert my old companion stayed up in Apple Valley and is training a greenie in my old area.  My new companion is Elder Brewer.  He was a pitcher for BYU last year and he has been out on his mission for 9 months today.  I like it down here in the valley so far mostly because it is not really windy down here.  It also reminds me of home because of the mountains.  It is also really busy down here so I don't have anytime to be bored.  Yesterday I visited a couple of members, they are pretty cool people in this ward.  Do you guys know anyone from San Bernardino that you want me to visit, cause I am now in a car so I might be able to visit them.  Well I don't know what else to write.  I love you guys and miss you too.  But I stay busy so I don't really get home sick anymore.  I can't believe that in 4 days I will be out on my mission for 5 months.  It's crazy how fast time flies.  Write back soon.  

Love you guys, 

Elder Taylor T. Gull

May 24, 2011

Dear Family,

How is everyone doing first of all?  I am doing pretty good.  The only real news that I have is that the baptismal date that me and Elder Teichert had set wasn't able to go through.  Mainly because she needs her dad's permission since she is under 16.  The good news is she might get her dad's permission either after June 2nd or after July 8th.  So we still might get to baptize her.  Other news that I have is that next week I might be having a P-day either on Monday or Wednesday.  It might be Wednesday because President Goodwin will probably let us because of memorial day.  If not we might be able to use members computers so watch for on Monday.  If I don't get on Monday than watch for me to get on Wednesday.  By the way Happy Birthday Kaytie on Monday and then Happy Birthday Mom on Wednesday.  Well what is new for you guys?  Sorry Kaytie, Del, Don, and everyone else I haven't wrote a letter to recently.  I have been really busy and even right now I am writing this letter on Tuesday night cause I had no time at all to write letters yesterday.  I bought stamps yesterday because I was at the post office and figures I should buy some while I was there.  Well talk to you guys later.  Write back soon.

Love Ya Guys,
Elder Taylor T. Gull

Dear Grannie and Grampie,

How are you guys doing?  I hope that you are doing good.  Thanks for the cards and the money that you have sent me.  Sorry it has taken me so long to write you a letter back.  I don't know if you already know this, but I am not in Apple Valley anymore.  Right now I am in San Bernardino serving in the 1st ward.  I really like it here, mostly because I talk to a lot more people than I did in Apple Valley.  I got to go to Apple Valley a couple days ago to see one of the people that I taught up there get baptized.  I also got to stand in her circle as she was confirmed a member and received the hold ghost.

I really miss you guys, and wish that I could talk to you more often, but I know that I am where I am suppose to be right now.  It was really good to talk to you on Mothers Day, even though it wasn't for very long.  Hope all is going well and thanks again for the money that you sent, it had helped a lot.  Love you guys.

Your Grandson,
Elder Taylor Gull :)

Dear Family,

 

How is everyone doing. Hope all is going good. How is the baby doing? I am doing good. I am not getting transferred this time so I will be in Apple Valley for six more weeks. I am getting a new companion though which is good cause I think me and Elder bowler have been companions for too long. We almost got a new investigator last week, but sadly the person said that they couldn't meet with us because something came up. But I will go over again with my new companion sometime this transfer so hopefully something comes from that. Me and Elder bowler tracted our entire area last transfer. The area isn't very big it is only about 3/4 mile wide by 6 miles long. But that is still a lot of houses to knock on. Mission life is pretty much the same, except for I am having a little better time since I changed my outlook on things. thanks for the package that you sent me. It is going to help out with the food that was in it. Mostly because I have no money to buy food until the first of next month. Which isn't that far away which is good. What are some new things that are going on with the family. it is exciting to hear that Kaytie qualified to go to BYU. That is really cool. From the letters that I have got from you guys sounds like a lot of things have happened since I have been out here. So I guess I am working hard enough. I hope you guys are having fun and being safe with what you do. I miss you guys but I will be able to call in just a couple weeks which will be nice. Well write back so when you can/

 

Love you guys

 

Elder Taylor T Gull

Thanks for the package that you guys sent me. Thanks for everything that you have given me through my life. Thank you so much for not giving up on me a few months ago when I was going through my rebellion stage. I know that if you would have given up on me I would be a completely different person than I am right now. Because I was going down hill real fast and it is only thanks to you guys and Jessie that I am the person I am now. So thank you. Also thanks for bringing me up in the Gospel and stressing the importance of going on a Mission. That is the best thing that has happened to me in my life and I have only been out a little over a month. Sorry I didn't email today but the library was closed so I couldn't get on. 

 

I Love you guys so much,
