WEEKLY EMAIL-WEEK 21

HELLO EVERYBODY!
I CANT BELIEVE ITS SEPTEMBER! AND THAT WHITNEY IS 16. YEAH I DONT THINK SHE IS ALOUD BE THAT OLD YET... AND TIFFANY AND NICOLE IN MIDDLE SCHOOL?? GOSH THIS IS CRAZY. OH AND DAVID IS OUT OFF THE HOUSE FOR GOOD, WELL THAT MIGHT BE A PLUS...LOL.. KIDDING. BUT ANYWAYS ITS HARD TO THINK THAT TIME IS JUST TRUCKIN ALONG. IM ALMOST 1/4 DONE WITH MY MISSION, AND ITS ONLY GOING FASTER AS TIME GOES ON. BUT IM WORKIN HARD TO USE EVERY MINUTE I CAN. BUT BEFORE I GET STARTED, MOM, ITS BEST TO SEND ANY MAIL WHATSOEVER TO THE MISSION OFFICE ADDRESS JUST SO IT'S SURE TO GET TO ME AND NOT SHOW UP AT THE MISSIONARY PAD AFTER I LEAVE IT, AND IT NEVER GETS TO ME. BUT ALSO, AIR MAIL IS BASICALLY WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO WITH MAIL AND PACKAGES, CUZ PACKAGES THAT DONT HAVE AIRMAIL CAN TAKE UP TO 3 MONTHS TO COME THROUGH. CRAZY EH? WELL ITS SAD BUT TRUE. ANYWAYS, SO I MUST SAY BEING SR. COMP DEFINITELY STRETCHES YOU AND FORCES YOU TO GROW. IT HAS BEEN A BIT STRESSFUL, BUT IM GETTING USED TO IT. ELDER GREEWELL IS MY NEW COMP. OUR INTERESTS ARE A LITTLE DIFFERENT. HE LIKES A LOT OF COMPUTER GAMES AND TECHNOLOGY STUFF AND HE TALKS ABOUT COMPUTER STUFF AND IM LOST, AND VICE VERSA WITH ME WHEN I TALK ABOUT FOOTBALL AND TRUCKS...LOL. BUT WE ARE FINDING COMMON GROUND. SO ABOUT MY "GATORS" :) WELL I GUESS OLLIE FELL OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH. I CALL HIM ALL THE TIME AND HE NEVER ANSWERS, HE WASNT AT CHURCH ON SUNDAY, IT HAS SCARED ME A BIT. HE IS SO CLOSE TO BAPTISM IT SCARES ME TO THINK HE MIGHT BE BACKING AWAY. BUT I HAVE FAITH THAT HE KNOWS THE IMPORTANCE OF IT AND WILL BE BAPTIZED WHEN IT IS HIS TIME! THE WORK IS TOUGH, OUR MISSION IS NOT SO "EASY" SO TO SPEAK WHEN IT COME TO BAPTISMAL NUMBERS, BUT ITS NOT ABOUT HOW MANY WE WANT TO BAPTIZE, ITS HOW MANY WE HAVE THAT IS IMPORTANT. THE WORTH OF A SINGLE SOUL IS GREAT IN THE EYES OF GOD! I KNOW THAT IS WORK MUST GO ON NO MATTER HOW HARD IT CAN BE! I KNOW I WAS SENT HERE FOR A REASON, AND IM WORKING TOWARDS IT EVERYDAY! SO LETS SEE, WHAT ELSE CAN I TELL YOU, OH SO WE HAD OUR INTERVIEWS YESTERDAY, AND OUR CAR INSPECTIONS, AND I MUST SAY, OUR CAR WAS SUPER SUPER CLEAN. SERIOUSLY WE SHINED THE ENGINE...LOL... WE HAVE A WAY GOOD CHANCE AT WINNING, AND IF WE DO IM SO TAKING THE TRUCK. BUT DONT WORRY I WONT LIFT A MISSION TRUCK AND PUT BIGGER TIRES ON IT. IT IS FOUR WHEEL DRIVE THOUGH, SO I CANT MAKE ANY PROMISES THERE...LOL WE DO HAVE A LOT OF OPEN FIELDS IN OKOTOKS...LOL... JUST KIDDING. I LOVE PRESIDENT ARCHIBALD. MOST MISSIONARIES SAY THEY FEAR THEIR MISSION PRESIDENT, BUT WHEN ITS ONE ON ONE INTERVIEWS, I FEEL SO AT EASE WITH HIM WHERE I KNOW THAT I CAN OPEN UP WITH ALL MY QUESTIONS AND CONCERNS, AND HE CAN GIVE ME THE ANSWERS I NEED OR WHERE I NEED TO TURN TO WITH HEAVENLY FATHER IN MY PRAYERS. AND SISTER ARCHIBALD, WELL, SHE IS TOTALLY LIKE A MOTHER TO ALL OF US OUT HERE. MOM DONT WORRY, NO ONE COULD EVER EVER EVER REPLACE YOU! BUT JUST KNOW IM IN GOOD HANDS, SHE HAS A BOY ON A MISSION RIGHT NOW TOO, SO SHE KNOWS HOW YOU FEEL! :) BUT I WANT YOU GUYS ALL TO KNOW THAT I LOVE YOU! AND THAT MY MISSION IS TURNING ME INTO THE MAN I NEED AND WANT TO BE! MY TESTIMONY GROWS EACH DAY, AND GROWS EVEN AS I BEAR IT! I LOVE YOU GUYS, AND WILL BE ALWAYS FASTING AND PRAYING FOR YOU! YOU MEAN THE WORLD TO ME! I LOVE YOU!
LOVE ELDER OGEN
P.S. THERE SHOULD BE SOME MAIL FROM ME THERE IN A DAY OR SO.
