Family! Hey! How goes it? Just got done talking to you guys (e mail) and w/dad the interenet seemed to be really slow and with mom the store seems to be doing well! But this week was alright, kinda slow but good! The area is really hard, starting to die right down to nothing but Bishops starting to wake the members up. but this week we have our first wedding! Woot! Finally after so much work we can have a little reward! But me & my comp get along well. But yeah, were out of money again we do too much towards the front and at the end we dont have much ha. We never pass hungry, just not luxury ha. But to respond to the weeks letter, Cambria congrats on the green hand. I loved FFA. I thought it was way fun and regret not taking more from them! But really this week was nothing special. 1 more week in the field. I got 10 months now and doing great, also got a letter from Holly w/fotos from Parker & Dereks missions. Made me kinda miss a cold mission, but I'm here in the forest so can't complain ha. But that's it for this week. I hope all is great and spiritual message! Alright so this message is from the History of the Church that I'm studying. Elder Patten was the first apostle martyred in this dispensation. He was known to Joseph as wanting to die as a myrter and in the Mormon War he received his wish and later at his funeral the prophet said "very emotional and great thoughfully said "to Elder Patten's body when a man with your faith asks something of the Lord he generally gives it."
I don't really know what you can apply with that but I really love the story. I think it shows alot of Joseph and those apostles but I hope you all have a wonderful week! Tchau! Elder Deakin
p.s. Do we want Mitt to win? Is he good or what is he saying about changes
