Hey Mom,

well have continued to have a good week with some really good success. and really trying not to think about brianhead at all which is really hard but next time i know that i will be able to go with you guys so that will be sweet. now i just had a quick that that came into my mind you remember how i said i wanted to go to BYU Provo well i still do but if that does not work out and i do not get in move on to Idaho and i can room with ty for a semester which would be sick. cause i can transfer down from idaho at anytime to Provo. oh by the way how is that going have you started looking in on that yet? just curious cause i know that i need my mission president to do something i just do not know when or with what.

As for the week things are going good week has been really busy have barely been in our own area this week this is the first full day and even then we were up at the office building. but the reason why we were out of our area so much was because we have had splits planned one of which was in Novgrod and that was nice found out more about the missions there and how they are doing and how they love or just like the work. but things down there are great colder and just a bit nicer of an area for contacting but other then that the 4 hour bus rides from peter to Novgrod and back aren't that fun (bad roads can hardly study or sleep) but it was nice. then the other day we went to pushkin to look at the new apartment there and it is nice and it is also nice because the elders can move in tomorrow so that is great. then after we were done in pushkin we hoped on a train to Gatchina to do two baptismal interviews for two people being baptized this coming saturday. and the meetings (interviews) went really good and the people are going to be getting baptized and they are so excited and looking forward to it and so are we. we have really seen a jump in the work this last month and i think it is just going to continue and continue till it just blows up here and everywhere we can serve will be a great place to serve and that is what we need. other then that things have been fine and we are looking forward to settings hopefully two baptismal dates this coming week so we will let you know how that goes. the only bummer about this week was that we did not have any meetings with member present and we did not have any investigators at church on sunday so we hope that all of that can improve and we know it will cause we have planned for it and planned better. we that is this week as far as the work goes and any updates.

well i hope that you all had a great time at brianhead and that no one broke anything or as kyle said re broke anything. i bet everything went great and that you have all had a great time.

i think i am going to do something a little different from now on out i will start writing to tyler, kyle, trevor, and megan on here unless they write me in an e-mail.

Tyler- well man i am glad that the cast is off and i hope that everything went good in the mountains and that you did not re break or break something else. well man you are a stud and there might be a chance that we will room together up at college. i am going to think about it this week and i will let mom know 100% of which place i want to go to. love you man and keep up the good work.

Kyle- Dang man i think that every time i hear about you it is you setting a new record if you keep that up you will be so dang good and i can not Wait to see you jump when i get home i think that is the coolest thing. i Hope that you r upcoming meet goes which it will cause you a champ. well man just remember never give up and if you fall you can always pick yourself up again and do it again and it is those people that become the champions. love you ky and keep on keepin on. (Joe dirt quote haha)

Trevor- well mom told me that you want to go surfing about every weekend, and i do to so you know what that means that we will be going alot when i come home that is my favorite thing that we all did was to go and hang out all morning and surf. i think that is one of the reasons why we like each other so much and why we have such a good relationship between us. well by now i bet you are just shredding it up in the water, so i am a little nervous to go with you cause i most likely forgot how haha well man love you and have a great week alright.

Megan- well megan i bet you just tore it up on the snowboard this last week and that is sweet i remember seeing picture of you snowboarding last year and i could hardly believe my eyes. you looked like a born snowboarder you probably took it up in like 10 minutes like you did skiing, haha. are you pretty excited for dance to be coming up you only have a few months that is sweet i can not wait to see the pictures. well megan i hope that you have a good week and that you had a great time snowboarding. i love you so much.

well mom as you know this letter is to you and dad in general as well as to them but i just felt that i need to let them know more often that i love them and try and help them in any way i can even thou i am half a world away right now.

I know that this church true, i know that Joesph Smith was and is a prophet of God and that he restored the church that Christ himself died for while he yet lived and established it. i know that Jesus Christ is my, yours, and the worlds savior and redeemer, that only through him can we be saved and return to our Heavenly Father and live with eternal joy. i know that everything the Savior did was for us he lived for us, he dedicated his life for us, he suffered for us in the Garden of Gethsemane and on the cross, and he died for us that we might find joy in repentance and have the opportunity to be saved. that is the greatest story in history and forever will be because he gave to us all mankind life.

i love you mom and dad and i hope that you had fun at brianhead and hope to see pictures.

love always
