8/19/13 to Dad
Hello! I was
not transferred. I will explain more in mom's email because I don't want
to write it twice. We were supposed to have a baptism yesterday, but it didn't
work out. It was for Ashley. Hopefully this Saturday will be the day. I did not
take any pictures this week! Yum Lasagna.
We sometimes talk to
some people who have false understandings about the church and like to tell us
we are wrong. This usually doesn't bother me and I just shrug it off. This past
week though it happened twice and the whole time I was just getting madder and
madder while they were talking at us. I guess because I know they are wrong and
they aren't even in a place in their life where they are willing to listen and
know that it’s true. I keep my cool though so don't worry. I just need to love
them more.
Father. High blood
pressure is not good. I recommend smaller portions and exercise daily.
Oh wait I do too have
pictures I forgot!
Lamar is getting
baptized next Sunday. He committed to live the word of wisdom and is awesome.
He has been so prepared by the Lord it is amazing!
Love you!

Hello my youngest offspring!
hoping this email
finds you of good cheer and happy in your current station of life, excited to
see if you were transferred or not. It sounds like you are making some
friends with investigators; did you have any baptisms in the past week?
did you take any new pictures? Love the pictures, send some of your
living quarters and of the family you live with...include names, of course.
it is a beautiful day here in the northern Midwest and we are headed to
the Campbell's today, Mom made Lasagna to take for dinner along with a nice
salad...and I mean nice! And of course the garlic bread, if that does not
put me in a sleep coma, then it's hard to say what will!
Picking up my little
glucometer today for testing my sugar, went for a physical last week and it was
too high, also doing a sleep apnea study on Thursday night, to see if I stop
breathing during the night. The issue with stopped breathing is that
oxygen is not getting to the brain and then I wake up...this causes many issues
including high blood pressure. Other than these 3 things (which are
biggies) and of course the larger than normal spare tire thing going on, the
doctor was quite surprised at how well all of my blood tests were for
everything else...so, diet change, exercise and more letters to home from
you...ha...really, your mom loves your letters so much, she has such a great
need to connect with you and the detailed emails and letters really make her
day and week!
Love
Dad
