The Gospel brings more joy than anything!

my week has been crazy. i just dont even know ha. my new comp is so awesome! we get along great and we are gonna show this ward what missionary work is about. we are tryin to get to know all of the members in our half of the area so that we can use them to find people and fellowship them. he is from alberta canada, we have the same first name, he has a sister named kalee, and he likes to fish. WEIRD! he has been out for 17 months so he has about 6 left. yes we are on bikes and its crazy cuz since we were gettin a new area they didnt have housing for us so we are living with 3 other elders, in part of the mesa grande area so i see people from my first area like everyday... his fam and he have been members for a long time. ha sorry this is gonna be jumbled.so hump day and my birthday... 365 down 365 to go ha its crazy that im 20 and half way done, i honestly dont feel different age wise... still feel like the same old me that is crazy and wants to be crazy and what not. mom i have officially learned on my mission that its not big things, or expensive things that make something a good gift or something great, its the simple heart felt ones. i have one thing to give people and its not expensive, its not gonna be a big screen tv but it is heartfelt, and its with all the love that i have and it is very simple. simple but it brings more joy than a giant mansion on the top of a mountian with every toy you can think of, more joy than anything. its funny cuz i get little pictures from brody and camden and kids in the ward or who we teach and they make me soooo happy. so dont think you are lame, i love everything you send. so that little blonde girl still visits :) that makes me happy ha so all the secrets and what not they told you is not all true. no one drove any of our cars with out liscences but yes there may or may not have been 3 ball teams at the house but i thought you knew about all that cuz of the whole garrett runnin over the bike thing. ha so how did you find out about all kalees secrets? WOW keg is leavin... i need his email info and what not porfavor. that is crazy thoughi will definately pray for them i feel like shelly is gonna need it. you did... you sprayed thistle? that is tough mom you and grandma should not be doin that. ugh school, its already started here... crazy. so i will tell you about last night cuz it was a cool spirit moment. so it was about time to go home and our plans got bounced around and we were in an area that we didnt know who to go visit and so we stopped and prayed and i just said we are in this area please help us know where to go to find someone. well i remembered seeing this house with a light on and i thought they were formers that no one could get a hold of so we went there and they answered the door and we talked to them for a sec and we found out that the dad didnt have a BoM so we gave him one and we have a return appointment but it was really neat to have the spirit lead us like that. i gotta write a ton of letters today cuz i been slackin cuz of movin which il have to do again and what not but i gotta get letters to maddy and bridge today and a couple other people that wrote me. funny story though well i thought it was funny but semi sad cuz the guy was so drunk but we were teachin a recent convert and a white guy that drinks a ton lives in the same house and we are talkin to the convert and the other guy was watchin a football game and in the middle of our prayer he starts yellin get that roach GET THAT COCKROACH! haha he was talkin about the players hahahahaha i about died. the guy was sooooo smashed, he drinks over 20 a day... anyway i hope you all have a great day today i love you all a bunch!!!
