John's letter from 4/14/08




I sent John two emails this week. One with information about what the family has been doing and asking him questions and one with a basketball update from the NCAA. Obviously he only got the one email when he responded. Hopefully he got the other one too and just didn't respond yet. Enjoy. Love you all!


Well that sounds like its a lot of fun. i do kinda miss march madness but its not somethin i would think about all day dont have to worry about that. president didnt get to play last week but we played still and man i have a vertical leap of a catipillar(one of the quotes a guy at the ccm always said.) but it wasnt too bad but i have lost a lot. im trying to lose a lil weight in my stomach area, all the muscle i did have is now flab my legs and arms are fine but im looking pretty chubby in the stomach. o well. umm ya so i had a babtism yesturday and it was amazing. babtized 4 kids and a grandmother. was goin to be 2 more but they had some wedding paper work problems right before it. so i think we are babtizing them next week. and maybe 2 or 3 more as well. so ya its a gold mine in my area right now as president says. and our changes are next week i think my comp is goin to be zone leader in one of the new areas next week soooo i get a new comp and i am directing the area. not senior companion just that i know the area. haha well i know half of it because its huge. i dont see why we dont have bikes in my area we sure could use them. we walk over like 12 miles a day i bet sometimes. the weather is so weird here, yesturday it was crazy hot and couldnt be out side too long. now this morning is freezing! everyone has coats and what not. now its not really cold because im use to it but the change is what gets everyone. O ya we found our first rat yesturday, it cralled away outside our door last night i didnt see but my companion screamed it was funnny. ummm its hard when u dont ask many questions cause the same things seem to happen every day and i dont know what to write haha. the weeks are starting to go by a lot faster and i hope i know spanish pretty soon cause its pretty hard sometimes looking dumb when a fam or somethin is talking about a problem but i have no clue what goin on. but there are other times, like in the Best two years, when he starts speaking dutch at the end and doesnt realize it happend to me the other day. it was funny i was with this fam and my companion went and talked to a kid for sec, then the fam kept talking to me asking me questions. i was scared cause i didnt have my companion to help but i kept responding and they kept asking for a while and at the end i kinda stopped and realized i was talking to a native family on my own. it was crazy didnt think it was posible. buut yeah im staying healthy luckily. its funny cause my companion is lack tose and tolerant i dont know how to spell that but anything with milk he gets sick and makes me feel a lil better. ya i love you guys and thanks for the update. hope you guys have a good week what are yall doin for spring break?

Dad and I just did the same thing. We laughed for at least a minute with out being able to talk. However, I'm so glad to get his emails and I'm such a bad speller that I shouldn't laugh!
