New Years here was pretty tight. A bunch of drunk people walking
around and at 12 a bunch of gunshots. Apparently that is the tradition
here. Walk outside with your AK47 and illegal narco guns and shoot
them in the air. It was pretty interesting ha. Matt will be home in 2
months. That is unbelievable to think about. That time will go by so
fast. It looks like you are all doing well. Mom has been hittin up the
tanning beds. Dad on his bike. Cam just living it. Heather and family
just getting older. Heather looked skinnier... It is also good to know
that James and John joined the crew. Haha that is pretty funny that
dad ran over his foot. Something like that had to happen. Also I dont
know why people are already getting married and stuff. Cant they wait
for me to get home? Matt will be the next one married. That will be
unreal when my only true homie gets hitched. Life is going by way too
fast. No mom I was never scary,just tight. Well this week was really
good. We baptized on friday which was a nightmare. We showed up to the
church to fill the font but turns out the pumps was broken so there
was no water. We had to haul all of the people to tepic to baptize in
another church. After all was said and done she got baptized and
confirmed this week and it was awesome. Also on sunday something
stunning happened. We were eating and my comp decided to wash his
dishes. As he was washing them he took a step back and crushed the
head of a tiny puppy. It was a month old. The dog died and the family
started crying. I was just too stunned to believe it. It was sad but
pretty funny. Well Family love you and hope you are all happy. I know
this i the only true and living church and the Jesus Christ is at the
head of His church. We must follow the prophet and accept the will of
our Father. As we do this we will be led to Exaltation and Eternal
Life as an Eternal Family. That is the goal we all have and my hope
and prayer is that we can reach it. I love you all
