Hey Mamma!
That is way awesome that he got his call to Brazil! From what i heard they really need all the missionaries that they can get and i can see him being a very good missionary. I sort of remember Brenton and that suprises me too actually. I do remember Kathy Boyce and she was awesome! hahaha Tell her that i said hi and that I'm am doing great. Well I'm very glad that you were able to get the picture from president Smith and sister Smith. It was a pretty nice day that day. The weather here is actually similar to Utah. By that i mean that i changes all the time and usually without any warning at all. two days ago the sun was out and it was really hot and then we started teaching this family and it just started raining really hard. It did that for about 30 min and then it stopped and was nice and cool for most of the time and thewn the sun came out again. During that storm we had to go all the way across town to teach an old man who is the funniest person i have ever met. But it took us about 10 minutes to get to his house and it felt like i just got out of a swimming pool. Everything was wet except the stuff that i put into my bags. By the way, because i would have been over 50 pounds so i couldnt bring those zip locks so if you could send just some of those in my first package that would be really great.
Not a ton of exciting stuff happened this week. The people that we taught this week are awesome! We taught one person who was named surin and her family. We saw this apartment complex and we wanted to go inside but we have to get permission from the front desk or the owner before we go inside. no one was at the front desk so we just kept walking to the next house and it turns out that she and her husband were the owners. She was really excited to hear our message and she actually made her older brother come inside so that we could talk to her. She really believed in buddha and she took us upstairs and showed us all of her idols and stuff but she was really happy to learn about heavenly father and prayer. We asked her if she would come to church on sunday and she said that she would change her scheudule so that she could come. She came!!!!!!!!!! She said that she really liked what she saw and she wants to learn more this week! We havent met her husband yet and usually foreigners arent very open to learning from us. There will be a language barrier because he speaks german hahah s that will be fun and i cant remember any german that i used to know hahaha. We also met another person who spoke english with us hahaha we always just say whats up man to everyone and they dont know what to say but elder gudmundsen said it to a random peprson and we didnt expect him to say whats up bro and then he shook our hands and said that he had been in america for 3 years and just got back 2 weeks ago. He had a lot fo questions and so we gave him a book of mormon and asked him to read it and pray about it and he said that he would. We also have two people who really want to get baptized now where as before we didnt have any. One has been coming to church for 4 years and she just decided yesterday that she wanted to be baptized. She is really shy and said that she doesnt want anyone at her baptism besides pp[eople who really need to be there. The othe is a person we met while inviting and he learned with the missionaries before but he stopped and the missionaries just could get a hold of him but we found him and he is awesome. He wanted to wait for a couple of years but he changed his mind really fasst and wants to serve a mission. Other than that no much has happened.
I will end this email and if you could share it with the rest of the Family that would be great. I was reading in 1nephi 8-11. I cant remember which one it is in so you will have to find it but the angel talks to nephi and he says that the tree of life and the gospel is the most desirable and precious thing above all other things. I thought to myself that it is those things already but do we make it most desirable above all other things? I thought about it for a long time actually and thought about how ot\ften i put other things before the Gospel. I decided that I could do much better at that when i get home. Just a spiritualy thought for the week.I love you so much momma! Thank you for everything that you have done for me and being the perfect mother. I wasnt the best son that i could have been but i want you to know that i love you so much. You and dad always taught me to love people and to love the gospel and Jesus Christ. I dont think that i can ever thank you and dad enough for that. I love you both so much.

P.S. We probably want to wait to come to Thailand. There are a few places that are really cool to go so but i cant as a missionary haha. Also there is a huge national holiday that week and it is kind of dangerous and really different hahaha i will explain more about it later but i will save my money but can we come back after I am released?




Hi Dad!
Buriram is pretty small compared to some of the cities. It is basically a college town but it is call a province. I dont know why but for some reason it is haha. It is surrounded by rice fields and they are the traditional things that you see. They are actually really pretty. There are a lot fo water buffalo and also very odd looking cows that really dont look like cows. There isnt much industry here. Most people just sell food, stuff, or they are construction workers. I thought construction was huge in america but they just build stuff here for no reason. They just start projects a lot and once they finish with that they start a new one hahaha. Like i said most peeple just sell stuff. and people have farms and then there are people who just dont work and then you have the monks. We are actually never even supposed to sit on scooters. I wish we could drive them but we never can hahaha. When we come here as a family though we have to ride in a tuk tuk once ha ha they are really fun. You would love driving here. There are no rules and cops never pull people over. There are speed signs but people dont know what they mean hahaha and people just kind of go where they want. The only thing you wouldnt like is that they drive on the left side of the road haha i'm trying to get used to that one.
I had a feeling that the jag would not be as good as they said it was. It ran ok but it has always had a lot of problems. It will be a fun toy for bracken to mess around witht when he getrs home. When i get home though i want to fix up the orange pick up and drive that around and help you with the charger so we can get you and mom driving in that car again. Things here are really good. The only thing that we struggle with is getting enough worthy melcesidek priesthood holders. They dont really stay active and no one knows why! I said everything in my general email but not a whole lot is going on. I love you dad and thank you for all that you do for me and all that you have done for me.
