Wow that was really cool to
hear about Daxton I am pretty sure he used to call me Brittan didn't even know
that he knows my name.
So the Birthday thing... yeah don't worry about my
birthday just send me some cool emails with pictures and maybe a few conference
talks I can print out and study and give me to read when I am bored. I feel
really bad I haven't writtne you all more I just need them to sent a tiny little
email under their own names so that I don't feel like I am writing you
everything I am saying to them I am also working on handwritten cards for all of
you I just have to figure out where I should mail them out. The miami adress
totally works I think the post office just messes up or can't figure it out so
they send it back sometimes. They haven't sent me any dear elders and sometimes
they bring down a few letters when somebody comes down to the islands, but for
the most part I maybe get a few letters every transfer just a little hard to get
them down here I guess.
Yeah that conference last night was absolutely amazing I
learned so much and a lot of what was taught were answers to questions I have
had. I really loved the video with the family and children of all ages going
through all of their day's and the missionary work they did. I hope my family
can be like that someday.
So this next part is just for Brea: Brea tell me how
it was to go to the temple? was the walk fun? and how is softball? the other day
I showed my companion a picture of you and I pointed out your cool magic eyebrow
it is pretty awesome he was so pumped says he wants an eyebrow like that. I
think about you often and hope you are really enjoying all the fun that you get
to have with our family. so lately what has your favorite song been and why? and
what was the funniest thing that happened in park city? I love you brea this
week write me a little email just from you and I will be able to talk a little
more.
Next is for Brittan: Hey bud I heard about Boise and it sounds like you
did awesome so I have a funny story for you the other day I was showing a
thirteen year old girl investigator some pictures of our family the ones we took
pretty close to right before I left and she was looking at them and thought I
was you and I said no that isn't me she then said,"Why aren't you in your own
picture with your family I can't find you in it it sdoesn't make sense" I then
told her I am the guy in the purple shirt. and she replied, " No way you used to
actually have muscles and my companion and I just started laughing our heads off
haha I guess I must have shrunk a little bit since I left. I hope you got to see
some of the mission conference last night it is probably one of the most
important meetings that will ever take place during our lives it was very
inspired every last part of it the stories and the videos I know it is what all
of us as members in the church need to apply in our lives. So give me a heads up
on what you have been up so and how was the sky coaster. Dying to hear from you
love you britt!..................
ok back to the family letter. I have been doing
good learning lots about myself and found out that if we pray to God to ask us
to be happy doing his will throughout the day he actually helps us to feel more
peace and enjoy his work. I have been thinking a lot about what is really going
to make me happy in my life with all temporal goals set aside and I know by what
I have learned that my only true happiness comes from reconginzing I am a son of
God, remembering that, and trying to live like his only begotten son lived. I feel
like I am unhappy when I am not trying to develop attributes of Christ. That is
what I need to do to be happy with myself. Prayer has also become very important
for me so that I can know what I am doing and preaching is true and I have got
to pray for faith and then live faithfully showing through obediance that I
believe these things are ture. Love you all so much! Elder Bell
