August 14, 2011
hey Jed
Can't wait tell you get home then we can play video games together like we never used to do because you didn't like versing me but now you don't have to their is robots me and you could kill instead me destroying you all the time haha don't worry your not the only only one that gets mad when I kick his butt dad is funny when he gets killed by someone on xbox live he tells me not to knock it off when he's just as worse.
Anyway nothing is really going on here accept me going to jr high in a couple of weeks hope i don't flunk or get shoved in a locker haha.
Love, Jake

Hey Buddy!!! 
So how is the new area going?  Are you learning how to get around?  It looks like a small town...is it?  Anyway I am excited to hear of your new adventures in Hudson. 
When are you going to send a camera card home so we can see all of your pictures?  I am always excited to get pictures.  haha!
I made some granola today and finished packing your box of goodies and stuff.  The next package you get will be your birthday package!!! Crazy stuff!!!  Not sure how I will pack a carrot cake!  hahaha!  So give me some ideas on a few things you might like for your birthday.  Your adderall is in the package.  Sorry I haven't sent any extra money or as much extra money.  Jake and Ashley getting into school is seriously breaking the bank here!  Hopefully the things I am sending will make up for it! 
So Ashley spoke in church today about balancing our life.  It was funny since she is juggling 3 jobs and school.  hahaha!  She is also the Laurel President.  And she is a serious procrastinator!!!  She finished writing her talk 30 minutes before church!  uhg!  That makes me seriously crazy! 
Thanks for answering most of my questions last email!  You made me laugh cuz I think I drive you crazy!  I don't want to but I am just nosy!!!  I am always wondering what your doing and if you are happy.  and all that Mommy stuff!  That you are probably happy to get away from.
There was one question though that you didn't answer....  The one where I am going to speak in church and i will be talking about YOU!  And how having you out in the mission field has blessed our family.  What are your wise thoughts on this?  Is there something you want me to tell the ward members about how you are doing and how you are growing and learning?  A story and maybe a scripture that you want me to share?  It would mean alot to me to have your input on this.  Hopefully I won't be bugging you too much. 
I am going in on tuesday to have another procedure on my back to hopefully help me with my pain.  I will let you know how I do. 
So Dad was a serious stinker last friday for our anniversary!  It was pretty funny though and he was so proud of himself!   We had a great time.  It is hard to believe we have been married 23 years now.  What's even crazier is that you are going to be 20 next month!!!!  That is freakin crazy!  I was so fat and pregnant 20 years ago!  And then I had you and it was one of the best days of my life!  My little Jed was born and I couldn't have been happier! 
I am so proud of you and all you are doing!  You are a special young man with so much to give!  Trust yourself and your Father in Heaven and he will guide you and watch over you!  Find those people you are supposed to find and touch their spirits with yours! 
I love you!!!!
Love, Mom

JED's RESPONSE!!!!  Oops!!!
 
Yo!
 
Dad.. That is freakin hilarious!!!!  Glad you had fun with it.  I'll be sure to do something like that with my wife when I get married.
 
Jake, thats cool you found out there are robots on Halo, i'll be sure to fight and destroy robots with you when i get home.
 
Mom, this area is going good.  Still trying to learn the area.  Yes its a small town, but i cover the entire caldwell county, so my area is called Lenoir, but i live in the town of Hudson.
Just so you know, i have only 2 weeks of adderall left, so hurry up please.
I would like the voice audio recorder i told you about on mothers day, I really don't know of anything else i want at the moment, but i will keep you posted.
Yes mom, i do have a few wise thought when you talk about me.. TELL THEM I'M WORKING MY TAIL OFF OUT HERE!!! HAHAHAHA!!!!  Share about the first baptism I witnessed in Asheville, that she asked me and my companion to be in the circle when she was confirmed and given the gift of the holy ghost.
Oh, Do you know what the word Utah means?  It means "Top of the Mountains." I learned that by watching the movie "Mountain of the Lord," which is about the building of the Salt lake Temple.  Read 2 Nephi 12:2, and after you do, look at the words:
  -Mountain
  -Estabolished
  -Mountains
  -Hills
Look at th letter "U" in Mountain, look at the letter "T" in estabolished, look at the letter "A" in Mountains, look at the letter "H" in Hills, and what does it spell: UTAH!!! The words of Isiah were fulfilled!  Cool huh?  You can share that in sacrament meeting mom.
 
We had a rough week last week.  Most of our appointments fell through and our investigators are dropping like flies.  So we tracted most of the week.. with no success!!
We also went to a Baptist church bible study, which was an... interesting experience.  I mean they talked about the armor of God, but went off topic a few times.  Nice people though, including the preacher.
BUT WE ARE NOT GIVING UP!
 
Gotta go, Love Ya'll!
 
Jed
 
P.S. Mom, please don't call me your little Jed, its really embarrassing.. Thank you!
