things on the battle front are good. we are winning and satan is loosing. i broke down and bought new shoes if you haven’t looked. they are good, i like them. my other one’s i had worn the sole down and it has a big hole in it. so it rained like crazy on monday hurricane style but we went to work cause this is a "mission of warriors" not a mission of "pretty boys" like across the way. we baptize and confirm and invite people to come unto Christ in the words (more or less) of president frei. Hey, he sent you an email about CHRISTMAS PACKAGES AND HOW THEY NEED TO BE IN THE MAIL BY OCTOBER 15th. love you. i think it would be good if for christmas you buy me 2 shirts and keep them at the house so i wouldn’t have totally out of date cloths. But, yeah, i hope i told you in the last letter that i freakin love the koolaid singles you sent. they were awesome .... there were no questions so i don’t know what to write about ..... um i sent letter to you with pictures in it
we baptized edinalva and now i guess she has a drinking problem so now we need to resolve that um... we are going around to the recent converts and teaching them all the lessons again cause transfers are this next week and elder broud thinks he is leaving so he wants to tie up all the loose ends um... maria didn’t get baptized cause ... i have no idea she just doesn’t feel ready to, so we felt that we should teach the atonement better. so that’s what we are doing this week a week of atonement. we started with lehi’s dream and we explained that and then tonite we are going to talk about what the savior went through and apply it to the dream and then we are just going to go over every lesson and say this is what we teach to make sure you’re ready for baptism and every lesson and then just be like we have taught you every thing you need to be ready to receive this promise with god what else do you think you need?
