Well hello family,
Well it sounds like you are doing well. Life here is pretty crazy. This past week was a pretty slow week. We did not have very many appointments so we had to do a lot of finding. I will be flat out honest I don't like to tract very much, and that's just about all we did. I'm good at tracting but I don't like to do it. Here in Bangor everyone has heard of or has a copy of the Book of Mormon and said they had a witness that it's not true. Whatever! Oh well I know its true and I know tracting is the most effective way to find people so I plug along and do it. Elder Headington likes to tract and has made a personal goal that by the time he leaves Bangor area he will have knocked on every door. And as of right now he is not very far from it. He has knocked 2/3 of our area, which is a lot of doors!
This week we had some cool stuff happen. There is a big fair going on; it's just like Summer Fest back home. This happens every year and they have these really old ships come over and you can have a tour on them. But they are only here on Saturday and Sunday. We had to work so I could not go on them. They are the old pirate type so masts and things run them its cool. It was really weird one of them had a really big tri color flag on it I was surprised that it did not get burnt down or something. The tri color flag is the orange white and green flag. In Northern Ireland because its a different country its an Ulster flag, if you want to see it look it up online. It's white with a red cross, red hand, a crown and a Jewish star. It looks really cool I have one that I bought, its way big.
Well mom I have bought a few things with my card so you will have to look at it and do the stuff you do. Thanks you are the best!!
There are a few things I would love for you to send me if you can:
-An American flag; this one is important we all fly our home colors in the flat
-If you can I would like my black skater shoes but only if you can
-One more long sleeve shirt for pday I use these in the morning cuz its cold
-A picture of Cody and Dusty I don't have any good ones of them
-More candy skittles, starbursts, and Swedish fish.
-And anything you feel I could use
Daddy happy fathers day and happy birthday, to be honest I'm not sure which day is your birthday but I know it's soon. I have a card that I have sent you but it's going to be late cuz I only sent it a few days ago. It takes about a week to receive anything. You are the best dad ever. Since I have been out here I have seen some really sad things with dads. The average dad here goes and gets wasted with his buddies. I'm very blessed to have you who help and teach me what to do. Thank you for raising me up to know the gospel and always being such a good example for all of us. I miss you but I know what I'm doing out here will bless you and the family. And it will bless the people here.
Well I love you all- you make me proud. I'm so happy that all is going well back home. Keep up the good work. Tell Deana its okay to email me tell her I might not be able to write too much back but I will do my best. Tell Alli congrats from me that's awesome to hear.
Love Boo Boo
