Here is some of his letter from this week.

This week was long, we didn't get to do much missionary work cause I had to take other missionary's around everywhere, but yesterday made up for it we had Elder Robert D Hales came down and we had a Stake Conference with him speaking and then right after that all the missionary's there had a special meeting with him it was way sweet. I'll talk to ya in two weeks. I love you a ton.

Sorry I am so late in posting this, it has been a busy week.

Hey,
I hope Mandy does go on a Mission that would be way cool, yeah Skinny has been keeping me updated on how he has been doing, it kinda makes me homesick at times not being able to be there and run, but that alright when I get back I'll be tearing things up. I have a new companion, he is from Samoa his name is Elder Tausisi he is a cool guy, its a ton of fun. This week was really pretty slow cause we had transfers and so we were getting Elder Tausisi settled in and meet people and what not. We did have a baptism set up for this next Sunday after a special Stake Conference that we are having so I hope that is goes good, we have been trying to get him baptised for a while, he is ten but it should be good. The Stake Conference we are having Elder Robert D Hales is coming to talk, its going to be way neat to be there for that. I'll be singing with the choir for it too lol. I'm excited ti's going to be fun. I love and miss ya all lots.

Hey,
That's really neat that Ray ( Ray is Mandy's Boyfriend he leaves 4-14-10 for Chile) is going on a mission it's going to be really good. Sorry for not writing yesterday I was really busy with transfers and stuff, I'm still in the same area, the Samoan Ward its really good. One of the people I'm working with is a less active, his name is Sai Maiava (something like that) but he is the lead singer in a band called Sons of Manasseh you should look them up they are really good they sing reggae he is a way cool guy. The work has slowed down a little bit but its still doing good. I got an e-mail from Cody ( that's his cousin that is on his mission in the Philippines) which was cool. I sent one of my SD cards to you a while back so sense you all are still asking me for pics I don't think it made it sorry, I'll try to take more and send a CD or something next time. Glad to hear about Ryan that's really good ( we told Kevin about Ryan's last track meet) Well that's it for this week, I'll talk to ya all later I love you all very much.
Love always,

Well this last week I asked him to send us a little more detail about what he is doing. Also I asked him about the earthquake and he didn't even respond about that so I guess he didn't really feel it. Well here is is letter.

Hey,
Well first , you know me and how I am not into saying much, and I can't think of much to say every week. So I am trying to say as much as I can, I guess I'll try to think of something else to say more about next time. I don't really have much time this time though. Sorry. Yeah I got to watch all of Conference it was really good, I liked Dieter, Monson and Holland a lot it was really good. No I haven't received your package yet. Nothing has happened this week it was a really slow week cause everyone left for conference and all so nobody was here to work with anyway ppl are waiting on me so I gotta go I love ya all a ton.

Well this week his letter was even shorter and less informative that any other. Basically he said there was some drama going on with one of the bishops but its alright, the work goes on and that is what really matters. Mandy had her stitches from her fingers removed, so Kevin said that was good and he is still praying for her.

Well some of Kevin's letter this past week was about Mandy and the trials she has been going through lately. Mandy recently had an accident with her blender coming apart and her hand got caught in the blades, she now has 35 stitches in her two fingers and is in a lot of pain. She also just a couple of weeks ago had a questionable mole removed from her forearm and it did not turn out good so she had to go back and have a bigger chunk taken out. So needless to say she has had a few trials lately. Anyway here is a summary of what was in his letter.

Last Sunday we got two more baptismal dates set up, one is a nine year old boy, he is one smart kid he remembers everything that we teach him and is on top of everything he is way cool. The other is a young lady that is graduating High School this year both are doing really well and are excited to be baptised, it is way way cool.
Well I'm praying for you all and hope that everything will be OK with Mandy. Love and miss ya all
