Hello everyone,

 

Dude! this one was a rough one to read! especially in a library where there are people around haha. It's wierd having people be proud of me... and its especially wierd to be a good example. haha. Anyways, i did fine it was just rough. I'm pumped for Ryan! I knew it would come eventually, he's a naturally good guy. Just needed to come to the realization. haha. its a wierd phenomenon(if thats spelt right) eventually we get tired of being unhappy to the point that we refuse it. its annoying how it takes time though. it just shows that even the bad has to be done long enough to learn sometimes. timing is everything. good for him. Glad moms surgery went well. I figured it would. how's everything going with the job and everything pops? find a new one? keep the old one? whats the word? anyways, whys the area getting whitewashed? something bad happen? haha. we have transfers on the 11th and my 3 month trainging is over so either one of us could be moving. Probably elder whatcott if anyone but still. that would kinda be a bummer right before christmas but thats life. Susan is getting baptized sunday the 9th. i'm pretty excited for that! shes a rock. amanda has disappeared cause she got offended or something. once we find her she'll be fine but until then not much we can do. i'm just glad i know susans not gonna be that type. shes real. its shows cause shes been anti'd like crazy and it hasnt even phased her. not to mention she doesnt have support from most of her family. She's gonna be great though. It's like shes already a member. makes comments in class and talks to everyone. pretty sweet! we just gotta find some more people to teach now.haha. we've been getting shafted by a lot of potentials. which is fine but annoying. we even knocked on a guys door that didnt exist at the house the next time we went over haha. alright, now mom. dont be so hard on yourself. courage is a pain in the butt. just keep it simple, dont worry about if its the perfect thing, and if you want to get better at following the spirit all you gotta do is practice. i'm not even good at it yet haha, what i have been trying to do though and what i used to do when i was better at it, was just follow my thoughs. if i had a thought to talk to someone about something i would just do it. i'm trying to do that now too. but it's a lot easier to be a missionary when you arent one believe it or not. cause your normal and missionaries arent. another thing. its not your job to teach. just be happy and normal and informative then let the missionaries teach. you'll probably notice that most prompting are just to do or say something nice. then eventually the gospel will come up if you look for the opportunity. Here's what to be prepared for. rejection. haha it sucks no matter what. but it actually doesnt happen very often in the way people think it does. like this. hey wanna go to church? no thanks. alright cool well your welcome anytime. boom done. where you live you'll probably never have a person say something mean. and even if they do who cares. at least your conscience is clear for speaking up. thats actually mosty what i am aiming for. a clear conscience haha. when i dont listen to little thoughts i always feel crappy, but when i just suck it up i feel great. its nice.love you all. oh i need face wash and moisturizer. that would be extremely nice. =) Elder Dalton

 

 

Grandpa!!

 

What a pleasant suprise! It was super good to hear from you. Glad to hear everything is going well. Why the heck did Gpa need a heart stint? better work on that! if you die when i'm gone i'll kill you! glad it went well though. so since your balance is better does that mean you'll be playing basketball again? its like all we play here... i hate it. haha. we play every other day in the mornings as a district so it helps with excercise but its not my best sport. at all. speaking of the temple. i wish i could go to one! we dont have one in our mission however. its super lame. enjoy that for me ok. i love you Gramps.

 

Grandma!

I could hear your voice when you said you dont let anyone talk for you! haha. made me miss you! i'm glad youre spending so much time at my house since I'm not even there!! lame. So are you keeping grandpa in line? i dont know why i'm asking, of course you are. I Love you!
