June 14-21

What’s the deal? You are all headed to Lake Powell to go have an amazing time and this is the week I get the shortest un juicy letters and actually have time to respond!? This is the week that you should be writing me novels to make sure I am not homesick because you are going to my favourite place on earth…well one of them! Well don’t feel too bad I am not homesick life here in Bolton is wonderful.

Okay so after I wrote last weeks letter I realized that mom was called to be relief society president not young women’s! Silly me. After taking some time to think about it I realize that it is a blessing that dad bought a business! Without your seminary income we might have been claiming benefits from Obama!!! That would have been scary! I see how those people live everyday. Hahha, jk. 

This week was a lot of fun. I went on another exchange with a Zone Leader, his name is Elder Hernandez from……Idaho. It was lots of fun, he is a good missionary... soon to go home.

Elder Chambers and I have been able to meet a lot of new people. Our investigators that we have haven’t been progressing so we have been trying to help them/ find new ones! We have a lot of promising people and I am excited to see what comes from them. Every day we have fun and unique experiences but you would be so proud because ever since Elder Chambers and I have been companions I have written in my journal EVERYDAY!! WHO HOO lets hope and pray that I can keep it up.

Okay well I hope you have an AMAZING time in one of Gods greatest creations! Eat tons, get tan, and have a wonderful time! Hills wrote me and told me about a new JACK JOHNSON CD I hope you bought it because I am sure it is brilliant and that is what LP is all about! Hope jim and heather don’t get too bored without me!

Well although you may be having a great time I am sure it doesn’t compare to the satisfaction of serving a mission. This is truly a wonderful experience and a time that I have been able to feel closer to the lord than ever before. I just finished the Book of Mormon and reading it on a mission gives you so much more insight and depth. It is amazing to see how much my testimony has grown in just past few months. I am grateful I am here and the work that I am able to take part in and knowledge we have because of the Gospel. How blessed we are!

Have lots of fun.

Love,

Richard
