Feliz CumpleaƱos Padre!

Hola Otra vez!
 
Happy bday dad! Sorry that you have to have the poison ivy like that! I feel like I can say that "I know how you feel" I HATE POISON IVY!!! So are you going to start  eating more of it or what are we going to do because the days are few already and we do not have time to spend in our beds dripping from alergic reactions..... AY! that is nasty. Well love ya lots and enjoy the birthday and Happy Anniversary as well! 25th is a lot!
 
It was sooo good to see you and hear your voices! It went by so quick. I just was so happy to see ya all! just wish I had 15 minutes with everyone of you! I am so grateful for technology so that I could talk to you all. Everyone of you Hyrum, Luke, James, Rachel,Spencer, Gregg, Amber, Mom and Dad, all of you are a breathe of fresh air! I havent seen amber in like 2 yrs! Have you written any new songs since you got back? are the calices coming back on the fingers? I have already started making the list of things I want to hear and talk about come mothers day.
 
Christmas night Elder Fowler and I organized a testimony hymn meeting where we all sang some really awesome christmas songs with some other missionaries in the Chapel. It was definitly the second to best thing we did on Christmas. The spirit was so strong and I love singing christmas songs especially with missionaries! So we have started using facebook for 1 hour everyday save sundays and pdays...  I know it is something that is inspired and all but as of right now I am finding it hard to feel like a missionary on facebook. I know it is going to get better though and that we are going to find people to teach through it!
 
It was elder Fowlers b-day as well on the 29th so that was really fun! We popped some pop corn and then lit a napkin on fire for the candle! Celebrating Missionary style!
 
so that is the pics as well as my new PJS by the miracle wall of sticky notes! Love em mom! thanks!
 
Well this week we got Luis on date for the 19th of Jan. But he just needs to read the Book of Mormon! pray for him to understand it better! I know that book is true and that it has power to change the and heal and strengthen and give you the answer to any question. We had one of our less actives tell us. Well you guys always share messages with me next time I will bring the message. He did and we used the scripture he shared with us in the next lesson! It was Third to last verse in the Book of Mormon moroni 10 32 I think!? It was very powerful and I love to share it with others! So keep reading that book every day and you will be able to draw closer to Christ more than ever before!
 
metas estan tan poderosas tambien! Goals make all the difference in what we can accomplish. But dont just set goals to have set goals. Go unto the Lord in prayer and ask him what he wants of you and then prayerfully set those goals and then prayerfully pursue them. God supports those with righteous desires he will not leave you without help.
 
Also another thing that president young said, I love my mission president by the way, Intelligence is not have have lots of knowledge! Intelligence is acting on the knowledge you have obtained and will continue to receive. Life is hard but it is not that hard. The mission is hard but it is not that hard and the only intelligent thing to do is just do what the God asks us to do!
 
So set goals and share them with me! I wanna know so i can help you all out! love you all till next week!
