Hey family,

I hope you guys got my letter. It sounds like you have had an awesome week. I also did. Things are going really well in this area. We set 5 baptismal dates just last week. We have some really great people we are teaching. That guy I told you about, Morgan, is getting baptized next week. I've never had someone get baptized so quickly after starting the lessons. We started teaching him 2 weeks ago. Oh and I know what I want to do when I get older now too because of him. He's getting his master in Athletic Management so that he can work for the NCAA or be an athletic director. I thought that would be so cool. I guess that there are only like 6 universities in all of the US where you can get your masters in that and UNM is one of them. So I'm thinking I'll finish at BYU and then come get my masters here. It's obviously not set in stone but it sounds like a decent plan so far.

It sounds like you guys are really busy right now. That's good. I can't believe that the summer is already almost gone. I'm glad though. It's really hot here. So to answer some of your questions... No we won't be seeing the Oquirrh Mountain dedication, yes I still keep in touch with Hank(but i need to do better), And I found out I had to get some other stuff for my bike so I actually need $190 but I got your other email and I'll have plenty of money for the next little while. Don't even worry about me. I'm taken care of out here.

I'm glad that Lizzy is breaking boys hearts for a change. That is nice to hear. I can't believe that she is going to be ahead of me in school when I get back. She's growing up so much. But I guess everybody is. Crazy. Time is flying though. We stay really busy here which makes it go even faster. 14 months tomorrow?!? I will now have single digits on months left. I can't even believe it. Well I can't think of anything else to write but I do love you guys so much and I appreciate all that you do for me. I will write Holden this week sometime to wish him a happy birthday. And yes they all need to work very hard in scouting don't do what I did. Get it done quick. Plus having an eagle is so helpful. The Church is true.

Your loving son/brother/friend,
