Things here in Fresno are going well! We have 2 really solid baptismal canidates for October 23rd and I am very excited for them. One of them is named Sixto and he is truly a miracle in how prepared he was by the Lord. The Lord knows who is sheep are and will bring them home; we need to just be worthy enough to be the means that He brings them back to His fold. We had known this man for 2 days and it was our second lesson and he was just like "I need to be a member of you church" and he came to church and wants to give money and all this stuff to the churhc and we have been explaining that it is not quite like that but it has been almost kind of funny how much he wants to do all at once so we are just trying to prepare him as fast as we can for his baptism. I love this work!! I do miss you all a ton and love your support and letters and prayers. I am also glad to hear that the pictures are on the way because I know it will be a huge help to this work as I keep using my testimony about our family and the blessings of the temple. I am also happy to hear that all the family is getting a chance to get together and see each other and do stuff together like that marathon. Also the vacation plans sound great to me haha but I probably won't think on them too much since I still have almost 2 years to go haha!
The language is coming along really good because of the help of the Lord and becasue of my native companion Elder Moreno, who leaves this friday for Mexico City. I still have my other companion Elder Wright so we will just be moving along after that. But I feel like I can just about understand everything that native speakers are saying and it is really cool to see and to understand and realize that the Lord has given me this gift to speak spanish.
I am glad to hear that the football team is doing so well and I hope that they keep it up and I hope they know I am rooting for them. Also tell Eleanor that I said congratulations on making the front page but that she shouldn't get too big of a head haha. Tell everyone else too that I say hi and that the work is good and the way the time is going I feel like I will be home before I know it.
I am so greatful for you examples to me in this gospel and know that you are making a difference in the missionary work around you and certainly have make a difference in my work out here in Fresno. I love you all so much and love all the emails and the updates. Congratulations to Marie for her 2nd baby and to Brad for getting his job! I love to hear that our family are visiting each other a lot and active and doing fun stuff. I hope all is well and pray for you daily and appreciate all that you do for me. Love you!!!! and PS thank you Sarah for the address, I will be sending Andrea and Rex's letter today or tomorrow.
-Love your son/brother/grandson/nephew/
