Hey Dude

Hey man I moving and I'm very excited about that; a chance to start new. As you know, things have been hard, but I'm now finally moving away from that. I also get to leave the zone leaders behind so that makes it even better.

Congratulations on a happy 6 years man. It really seems just like yesterday we were in UVSC for your reception, and i was running around getting all of your waffle irons. Its so weird how fast time goes. I'm now turning 20 really soon which is really weird to me.

Good job on all the tests. Mom was so excited to tell me how well you did. I have already bragged about you to Katie, cuz she is also in the dental field.
Well dude, I love you. Sorry I'm out of time, but I will email you again next week.

Take care

Hello.

Well it sounds like you had a very good time on the cruise, and that you two are doing very well. Mom next time you need Dads attention because you are getting chased by a sting ray, remember sound travels faster in water then air. If you clap your hands or whistle he will hear it. Just so you know. That is something I learned in scuba class and screwing around in swim practice. Cool huh? Also Dad you’re not supposed to use your hands while snorkeling its bad technique. Ha-ha just kidding with you.

That’s alright that my package got returned I knew something was up because I asked the office about it and they said that they had not seen one for me yet. But oh well. That’s life. In my March package I was hoping you could send me some Clearasil cream because only a few stores carry it.

Moves calls will be in two weeks and I will be moving for sure. Not sure where yet but I will be moving. We had president’s interviews on Thursday he asked how I was doing and I told him I’m doing alright but that I would like to move. He said that’s just fine I have been in a hard area for six months and it would be just fine to move. Six months in a area is long for any missionary, the longest one even allowed in the mission is a seven and a half months which is very rare, that’s just one more move than where I am. So the only hint of where I might be moving, President said is Mullingar or Sligo. Those are the armpits of the mission, he was mostly teasing me when he said that but you can never really tell with President. But I really would not mind going out there. It would be fun. I would then also serve in a branch rather than a ward which would be a new experience. Elder Dinning just moved here from Mullingar where he had loads of success so I would be excited to go there. The only other thing that I could see happening is moving to the Limerick District just because I have not been their yet. I hope I do because most of my mates are down their already. Moves are always a fun time there is always a lot of talk and guessing about what’s going to happen so I always like that.

Jade has dodged our last two appointments. I’m not really sure why the first time she said she was sick. The next time she was on a date. I really don't want to drop her because that has been the problem in the area, is that we don’t have enough people to teach.

Well I need to go the comp is going to log me off.

I love you so much and think about you all the time. Many hugs and kisses

Hello Mom and Dad

So Mom you act like I’m supposed to feel bad for you because you are getting old but I know for a fact that you are in a cruise ship sailing off to some Tropical Island enjoying life. You two are horrible. And I’m stuck here in this horrible wetland that is called Éire.

Well this has been another week in the mission with missionary things happening. This week we went about just contacting all the people we can. We had received two referrals from some of the other Elders in the mission field and we are going to be teaching this man from China who is supposed to be really cool. This will happen tomorrow and we are teaching Jade again tomorrow I really would like to baptize her before I leave. I think I could but the only thing that is holding me back is I think she would go less active after I left the area. But I will keep teaching her and see what happens. Pray that things will get better there. This coming week should be a good one we have set up a lot of appointments, and if things go well we should, also be getting two new investigators. That would be the bomb this area needs a good boost after it hit a downward spiral for so long.

I have not gotten my valentines package yet because we have two very gay zone leaders who like to bum around and make new rules up each week, so we are not allowed to go to the city for awhile. It will change soon, I’m sure we just need a new zone leader. By the way we know this is the zone leaders making the rules and not president because when we call him it’s always news to him. So it’s dumb but I will get it soon.

In better news I’m getting letters again. Chris and Russell love me and write to me now. Katie and Emily also like to keep in touch once in awhile. Dad I got your letter the other day thanks so much for it. It's always good fun to get letters from you. By the way I never knew you knew how to write in cursive. I think I might practice mine and see if I can do it again. It’s been a really long time since I have used mine I think fifth grade was the last time I did. That’s one thing that is cool a about a mission you have more time on your hand cuz you can’t hang with friends and there is no TV to take time so you perfect things that you have always wanted to. Like I can now bridge a deck of cards when you shuffle them. And I can make an almost perfect over easy egg every time. So now my new thing I think will be cursive. Hope you can read it.

The Covey boy is the new star in the mission. He is the famous one I guess you could say. I know of him but have never met him because he is in the north. But he sounds really cool so hopefully that will stay.

The money was for Christmas. I don’t plan on spending any more money for a very long time so things should be okay. I promise I’m being very careful with it I plan to have some left over from my mission that way I will not be completely poor when I go home.

Much love from Éire.

Hugs and kisses.
