This is all such a surreal moment in life. All my life I have been raised to think and prepare for my mission. And now that time has come I have lived it, I have tried my hardest to sanctify it, and I have loved it; now it is the greatest two years of my whole entire life. There is nothing in my life that has been greater than this. I know that there will moments that will have great impacts on my life there are yet years to live trials to endure and moments to be loved. But none will have ever set me on a more correct path than the two years I have tried to devote to our Father in Heaven.

I don't have much to say I will see you all so stinking soon. Start the count down :) Im coming home :)

Man... Ha i have been sitting here for the past like 20 mins just staring at my flight plans and all that jazz.... I honestly have no idea what to think right now. My last full week of being a missionary. Bitter sweet does not even come close to describing the feelings that i have right now. I honestly dont know how to feel. For the past two years my life has not been my will, or at least i have tried to make it so. The last two years have been life changing, I have been saved by my mission. I live in probably one of the weirdest places on the face of the planet or at least the most opposite place of our beloved small town Tremonton. But i have come to love the people more than anything in the world. Ha i dont know if i have said this but in my patriaricle blessing it tells me that i will go and "serve a very special people". And i have, for the past two years i have served Gods children of the Pittsburgh Pennsylvania mission. I have tried my hardest to help our Father in Heaven bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man. I have one week remaining but i have full confidence in saying that i have given it my all...

Ah really i have no idea what to say right now haha. I get to see yall in just over a week... When did this even happen. Ha i dont even know how to be a normal person any more... Or that is how i feel right now haha... This is one of the hardest letters i have to wright right now. So if i dont email next week it will be because next week will be even harder ha. Just ask me tons of questions and that will probably be the only way i will be able to email you next week ha... 

I am doing really good i am getting fed real well this week! Its all bitter sweet but yeah i have a meal every night this week, last night we had two. That was ROUGH! This next week i am just trying to make it as full as possible ha i just want to stay busy so far so good! We have a few lessons with some new people so that will be sweet! I head to the mission home in a week from today. I go to one last transfer meeting and then yes i spend the night there in the mission home. There aint to much you can do just pray haha like you said :)... That is sweet to hear about Andrea!! I am so happy for them! Tell Nic that i am proud of him as well!! And Savannah is a boss!! I love you all so much!

HA ah man I have been sitting here for like 50 mins just trying to think of what to say! I really don't remember a whole lot of what happened this week. It was a really quite week. Talked to a lot of people on the streets hopefully we will be picking people up as new investigators. We have a lesson with one tonight so just pray that it all goes well! It was pretty cool yesterday at church we had just some random lady come to church. Her name is Megan and she was a boss!! She stayed at a Marriot like a year ago and saw the Book of Mormon in her room and just looked through it not to much, but from that night she has not been able to get this stuff off her mind and she is like going crazy and has been on the web site like every day. I think she has read more books about the church than I even knew existed. She has been raised in a lot of different churches and is just so confused on where the truth really is. She has had the feeling that she has needed to come to church for a while now and has been pushing it off. So finally yesterday it just so happened that she woke up at like 5 and couldn't go back to bed so she thought well this is the day that I will do it! And boy was she awesome!! She is married and both her and her husband are interested in the church but she feels she is a few steps ahead of him so she is going home and just telling him all that she learned and all that jazz!! She was so cool! That was pretty exciting!

Okay I will answer your questions

#1 Yes I want so badly to go to the temple!!! My goal and I hope that you and Dad will be able to join me is go once a week. I was promised by and Apostle of the Lord David A. Bednar that if I go to the temple every week I will never fall away. So that is my goal.

#2 NOOOOOOOOO Dentist appointments on my only day back before I leave again I will not have that devil man be putting crazy devices in my mouth. ;)   

#3 I probably do?... Not sure though

#4 I have no idea... Somewhere good though I thought about Eastern Winds but that is way out of the way

#5 The Francis Family! Mindy Grandma Brandy Any friends that want to go I really don't know haha I just cannot wait to see these people that I love so much!!

#6 Yeah you can make one if you would like :)

Everything here is good, I was shot at the other day. But its all good the Lords protecting hand was with me. :) (Just pray for my protection casue if it happens again I get transferred for like a week...)

Just kidding that really didn't happen, kind of. I just have been reading The Other side of Heaven and I just want to be like him, we are watching that when I get home if pres doesn't let me watch it in the mission home :) Like that night. Oh yall best have a whole thing of movies waiting for me cause that is what we will be doing after my meeting with the Stake Pres. ( read The Other Side of Heaven!!! Its such a great book!)

Oh I remembered what happened this week!! I had my last interview with Pres Johnson!! Yeah I cried just a lot :) That was sweet!

I love you all!! Pray that I may stay focused!

Well well well.... Ha it gets to the point of I really just don't know what to say.... Ha so I will just give ya a play by play of what is going on here at the Library. The man across from me is getting mad at the computer cause he doesn't know how to print so he when and asked for help. There is another man that just came in and is just covered in mud... No idea why. Elder Sorensen just sneezed next to me. Elder Harper is watching some random movie on lds news room cause he gets hand written letters from home. Some lady with some pink hair just walked in, she should have just stuck with her original hair color. I just watched the new youth theme video it was cool I liked it...

Man haha I really just don't know what to say! This week has been a totally different one, it seems like it flew by at the same time it took forever to get it over with. But its gone! We are just trying to find new people to teach. We did have one of our Less Active people bring a friend to church yesterday that was pretty sweet! New Years was okay haha not to much happened. We went over to Crazy Linda we had some kind of food, I really am not sure what it was all the only thing that I could identify was the hot dogs. Every year they start it off with pork and some other stuff that I don't know what it is called and its not good at all!! Its like onions and lettuce in vinegar. Not good in my opinion! Oh up date of the library we just had a lady come sit down she seems pretty nice ;). We went over to Sister Eldrige again... I think that is how you spell her name... But she made a FEAST!! SO GOOD!!! I honestly could not eat another bite that night! It was so good though!

The whole school thing I just don't know ha everything is so up in the air and I still got like 3 weeks to figure it all out nbd... Okay so just one trunky thought ONLY 3 weeks! Okay done. It has been a struggle to focus I wont lie but u really have learned a lot from this point on my mission I really do get to see if with in the next three weeks I will just roll over and die or commit to myself and the Lord that I will work like this the night before the second coming! I have been reading a lot of books about the time of Joseph Smith and the faith that those saints had! I so badly want to be at that point as those saints! Right now that is the biggest desire of my heart! I have all the tools that I need to become that way we all do, now what we have to do is put those tools to good work. Unlike the tools that man makes, the tools that God gives us will never wear away of become dull or unusable. These are tools that have withstood the trial of time! They worked then and they do work still today!

I think I am good right now just really distracted ha! As this man said on the street the other day "I am to blessed to be stressed, and to anointed to be disappointed." Life motto! I love you all so much!
