how are all of you

Hey family that i love,

So how are all of you doing? im doing good and hope that all is well at home. i am pumped to read your dear elder letter. so i read the letters from last week and want to touch a little on those things. first off, heck yea im pumped about this tennesee thing. ehtan and jared leave near nashville. i still havent said anything to them but let me know when i can:) Now about zach. dude, dont even worry about not being able to leave. heavenly father is giving you more time to progress and prepare yourself for the mission. use eveyday you have to learn more about the scriptures and read preach my gospel. also, go to the temple and do baptisms for the dead often. i love you so much and am so sorry that you have had so many trials but i know you can make it through anything. stay strong! all of these trials are going to prepare you for the mission. the mission is the most amazing thing in the world but it is rough. I know that you are going to change so many lives and so does the adversary. he is going to do all that is in his power to bring you down but dont let him. you have so much more power than him. Man, i wish i could talk to you to lift your spirit but I wont have the opportuniy until christmas. Read luke 22: 31 - 32. Hopefully you will be called to the Neuquen mission...you never know:) I have faith in Heavenly Father and I know you do too. would be really great to serve side by side! I love you and want you to know you may be my little bug brother but i look up to you like crazy. You have so many character traits that Im trying to gain. Just know that i love you so much and will keep praying that one day we can serve together. Remember the the blessing day gave me when i was home for christmas...it said that our bond/friendship is eternal and more than just the time here on earth. Homies forever, right?:) I love you all and I know my Savior lives. He suffered so that we can have peace in our lives. Have a great week and do something silly...put on some music and have a dance party for me. Oh how i miss dancing on the dinning room table:)
