Email Update: First Mission Birthday



Hey Mom, Dad Sean Crusty Pord Jill Jen & Aunt Barbie,

           Well thanks for everthing you guys i really liked every bit of it.  I esspecially liked the fact that you guys all wrote me an e-mail.  Well my week has been interesting yesterday i got in like 4 bashes with Elder Boden some guy was really mad at us too it was really funny cause some people are just like that i guess.  



My Birthday was not the same at all it didnt feel like my birthday at all it was just another missionary day.  My packages as far as i know all got here the 2 pizza's one from sean and one from mom and dad and the TCU shorts came along time ago and everything else was way sweet too except that muscle shirt doesnt show off my muscles very good cause they're too small for the shirt, Thats a joke i liked it all very much.  Jill i got the little fruit basket thing and it was sparkling Grape juice as far as i could tell i dont remember much after i drank it tho so all well it was good.  Ha 


Well me and Elder Boden have a baptism this week with a girl named Ashley Miller she is 20 years old and has a 1and a half year old.  thats so crazy too me to think she is my age and has a 1 year old kid. But it doesnt matter about the past its all in the present.  


Well thats a lot of people at our house now a days and you guys thought that you would be empty nesters ha like that was gonna happen.  You guys ,mom and dad, should go see Jared for me i mean we were tight for a long time.  Tell colt i know what waiting feels like and tell him to stay ready and not think it will never come cause it comes faster than you think.  Thats way cool that you and everybody went to hear her talk i think that Elder Neilson is a good Apostle.but Elder Holland is the best one.  It was reall y cool seeing Cousin Lisa and talking to her she is very nice thanks for the uplifting comments mom they are really cool i enjoy them a lot.  


Crusty- You should lIsten to my mom even tho i never did cause she is right the mission will put you a lot farther ahead in life and you will come back a changed person i mean look at me i have grown up in only 5 months and it will keep flying by and i will be home and be a better man for it and i will also have evry girl at BYU wanting me cause i am a returned missonary ha its the truth chicks dig RM's.  I plan on holding that record cause no one will be able to break i t cause i will be here for 24 months and nobody will go longer than me and i did it first so i win thanks chris for the letter i hope to get more from ya.  


Jen thats a funny idea about the door breaking and everything and tell walker keep up the prayers they are working i am being blessed beyond comprehension.  Dad thanks for the updates and if you see them again tell them congrats and tell Caleb and Kyle good luck form me and finish it this time dont stop short.  you should go t o smugmug.com and look on BPTWISTER for pictures of calebs dunks and if they are on there you should send me one or the link or something like that, thanks.  Sean thanks for the Pizza i really liked it and you were the only person not blood related to send me anything so your my #1 even more so than ever ha well dude those 97 days or whatever will be over before ya know it so just keep on gettin ready and it will be here tomorrowish.  Well Bro thanks so much for loving me ha. Pord thanks for the response and evrything and the happy birthday you and jill were the only people to write me on my birthday.  


Well y'all i love you so much and i cant wait to hear from ya next week.

Email Update: New Companion

Hey Family,

     Well my life is pretty much the same as it has been for the past 5 months just bein a great missionary.  Well one new thing happened TRANSFERS, and like the past 3 i got a new companion well sorta new his name is Eldr Boden we were in the MTC together we are Co-Senior Companions and today is our first full day in the mission field together.  Yesterday tho our first day together we were tracting and a lady was working on her house and we went and asked if we could od anyhthingand she actually said yes.  So we asked what she needed and she was trying to screw in a new lock on her door so Elder Boden starts to screw it in and me and her are just talking and the we hear a snap, and we look over at Boden and he Busted the nail clean off so the only way to get it out would be to take the whole thing off and try and pop it out. She was really mad but i was impressed at how she kept her cool and so she pretty mich in a nice way told us to leave. I was laughing so hard after we left it was really funny.


                Dad thanks for the Sugar update i think I agree about Chasen he is a Cocky little boy.  I also dont think that kid will be better than tanner.  Tanner could have played varsity as a freshman as well and been really good.  But i will keep a lot better track of my money and will try and use it less.  I just buy things i think i will need in the future and i dont have any patience to wait till i need it to buy it.  So i will control myself better sorry i know i need to i am not very money smart.  Also i am glad the stuff i sent made it there safely. Chris better lear what that says cause hes gonna be speaking it for about 2 years of his life in the near future.  Also those glasses reminded me a lot of brett and they were a dollar so i just had to send them to him. 



Jill thanks for that story it brightened up my day and i am in hick ville so that could very well happen to me it would be very awkward and very funny i would probably laugh really hard for a long time.  I am glad you like me enough to interupt your law school stuff to write me thanks a ton, it makes me feel really good inside ha i am just givin ya a hard time but really thanks for the letter.  That earthquake was a big deal and i bet that your place is going crazy and you have to write a lot of talks for the in charge lady i for got her name.  Also it is really weird that i will be turnign 20 its weird that i have been around for 2 decades the 90 and the 2000's its really strange to me.  That is really funny that you are gonna do door aproaches in semenary i never did anything like that in Seminary.  Thanks for the story again i think i will read it every thursday.  thanks again  i love ya sis.  


Jeremy how long are your classes going to be and are they everynight or what?  I think i am entering my forgotten year already ha its almost time for that to start right?  I am enjoying the Gosple Principles lessons my ward is a little crazy and gets into some deep stuff and its really funny because i am gonna have to start teaching itlike 1 a month or something like that it will different.   The people in there are all supposed to be in Gosple Doctrine not gosple principles.  the joshu-a ward is crazy i think.  Our teaching pool is a good size for hear like 6-7 people that we can go see every week for sure and there are a lot of people who are willing to at least listen to us nobody hear turs us away really quick.  And some my mom and dad should have 2 memory cards you can ask them for that kind of stuff.  


Aunt Barbie thanks for the letter and everything and no i dont say fixin ha. as much as i hear it out hear i dont say it. it is really thick here tho its kind of annoying but the people are real funny and everything. I havent seen couisn lisa yet is she in the Fort worth Stake or in the Colleyville one?? I thkn that it is awesome you guys feed the missionaries they need it i promise they are always hungry.   I didnt get transfered tho my companion did tho he is now in Saginaw texas.  I love you aunt Barbie thanks again for the letter.  


Mom thanks for the letter last week i forgot to bring them with me today and i cant remember much of what they said but i am glad that you sent me something i lofve yopu so much but my time is running out i love y'all.

Hey Mom and Dad and Jill and Jax,
       Its good to hear from y'all.  Jill sorry i didnt write you last week i didnt get your e-mail till after i already sent mine Jax same with you i would have written but you guys sent it too late.  Well Jax i will respond to you first.  



My life is awesome i am lovin Texas just being a missionary with Elder Josie. This is the last P-day of this Transfer, I cant believe its been 3 weeks since Christmas and its almost my Birthday i'm so excited.  Can you believe i'm going to be 20 years old!!! Thats so weird to me i have seen 2 decades roll through.  I am so old.   But Jaclyn i will do my best to help you out but mine will be lean tough as nails muscle i will not be fat ever i do however look bigger in my face and neck.  I am super jealous of that i want to play everyday i miss it a lot but i have a life time to do that and only two years to do this so i gotta stay focused and do all i can now cause it will be over before i know it.  


I think i did know that and a way i used to talk to people about that and how important it is, I say like there is a wall between us and God we cant go through around or even under the wall and we cant talk through the wall but we can throw a message in a bottle or a prayer over the wall.  But in order to know what god wants us to do we need constant communication so there has to be someone on top of the wall aka a prophet to help us have that constant commmunication that we need. Its really hard to type and explain what i really want to say but thats the gist of it if you dont understand it just let me know and i'll try and tell you in a more simple kind of way or more detailed whatever you want.  The music thing, just go to itunes and look at the top songs for whatever genre you want hey are normally good ones to listen too or ask jill and jen they should know.  


well Love ya Jax. Just keep tellin me how you guys are and whats goin on with y'all.

-  Jill thanks for writing me ever if it was really short.  I understand though I hope that you guys are doing okay especially Jeremy.  Also i hope that it wasnt to hard for ya, You know what i mean, I am still waiting on pictures from everyone i sent mom two memory cards with a few pictures on them but i would really like some pictures of y'all like hard copies that way i can look at them anytime.  I love you jill have a good week okay!


- Colton Its okay i dont feel to bad it just makes it look like i have more emails this week haha.  So do you have any simpathy for me now when i said that my teeth hurt?  I do feel for ya though on the wisdom teeth they suck bad.  I have been oing awesome since Christmas i have had a ton of fun with my Comp but we think this is the last week we ahve together cause he is probably getting transfered cause he has been here for quite a long time like 6 months. He has been in Joshua longer than i have been out on my mission total.  I am still way excited for ya too get your call and am glad that you got everything taken care of and i hope that you keep talking to pord and tell him to get back out there and do work like we both know he can.  Is there ever a doubt in your mind tha we wont stay friends through it all i mean what else can we go through?  You move like 10 hours away and we still stayed tight and you went to a camp where i couldnt talk to you for like 8 months and we still stayed tight i dont know what else we can go through i mean really we will be tight no matter what. You are my brother so we gotta stay tight we family forever.  I miss ya man i cant wait to hear where your going it will be an exciting day.  Well let me know and keep me updated on life. Love ya bro forever.


-Mom and Dad,  Hey y'all its good to hear from ya i love thursdays just cause i get to hear from ya'll it makes me feel loved.  Mom thanks for the updates on my friends i am really glad to hear about mike going out that is so cool me and ian are the only ones not learning a language thats gonna be rough when they all come back and they are talkin in spanish and me and ian cant understand a word they say ugh.  All well,  I wont open any packages from you i promise till my b-day.  


My favortie scripture is Helaman 5:9 It is really good so that one or 2 nephi 31:21 which ever one you like more cause i like both of them equally and dont want to choose between them.  Where in texas will y'all be??  I dont care if you read all the mission stuff it doesnt bother me at all and if you would like to send me some i wont tell ya no but in february i will be extremely smart with my money cause thats when i get 135 from the church.  Also i hate to tell ya'll this but i got a ticket for going 42 in a 30 which i though was a 35 but i can take defensive driving and get it off my record if you would put 145 dollars in my account casue it is 105 for the paperwork stuff to take the class then 40 more to take the test thingy.  Sorry i promise i wont get anymore tickets while i am here.  


Dad, thanks for that i really liked it a lot and i really like the sports updates. Jocelyn has that scholarship for Volleyball and she goes there on like the 8th or 20th  of August.  Does that surprise you that Jordon is lazy ha he is never gonna change and Colton has always been like that he just needs to be humbled a lot.Well i have to sign off as well family thanks for being you, Never change that.  I love y'all and Miss ya'll

Email Update: Need more letters

Hi parents i am only gonna talk to you guys cause everybody else was too busy to write me this week except y'all.  Dad that is really cool i hope you learn a lot about the BOM it really is a super book i enjoy learning about it all the time its so much fun to study cause its full of actiion its almost like a novel.  An idea for your class is too have them read it in a month cause if they do they gain a better understanding of the story and the time line and everything makes more sense like all the Nephi's and all the Laman's and i just think it is a really good idea and you should let all my friends who want to come in to your class and study with y'all and learn all they can about it it will help them i gaurentee it or however you spell it. Mom i dont think your preaching but i just wanna know why you think i am not a disciple what do you think i did or have since done too not be a disiple of Christ? i am not mad i just wanna know what is on your mind and why you think that.  Well i am lovin life out here with Elder josie we have interviews tomorrow and i will have a better understanding of the chances of me and Josie stickin together for another transfer it will be a lot of fun if he stays and if i stay as well i really want to have a companion for longer than 6 weeks.  For my birthday i dont know what i want hmm... i want Gift cards i dont need any clothes i dont need anything really i just eat a lot so gift cards will be great!  Dad i dont get to watch the games but members keep us updated on things so i will know who won and the score and some stats.  I am really excited to possibly see uncle bill that would be really cool i am hope i get too i will ask pres in my interview tomorrow you said february right? That is so awesome.  Jocelyn told me about Chris and his Mission call too Mexico city east mission thats really cool i bet he fly into dallas on his way there and i am still excited for sean and everyone else too.  well i am so glad to hear from y'all and i cant wait to see uncle bill i hope ha.  Well i gotta go y'all bye
