Precious darling boy of mine!  WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!! I'm going to try to write shorter and not take so much of your precious hour, hit the highlights and do some longer letters in the real mail.  

PACKAGE IS GOING OUT, WHAT DO YOU WANT IN IT?  SPEAK NOW! LAST CHANCE!

Life is so full of wonder. I'm so grateful this morning for Heavenly Father's loving desire to help us with everything. Pres. Nelson says "think of the miracle of it! We can pray to our Heavenly Father and receive guidance and direction be warned about dangers and distractions, and be enabled to accomplish things we simply could not do on our own." "As well might man stretch forth his puny arm to stop the Missori river in its decreed course as to hinder the Alimighty from pouring down knowdelge from heaven upon the hthe heads of the Latter Day Saints." "Pray in the name of Jesus Christ about your concerns, your fears, your weakneses, yes, the very longings of your heart. And then listen!"  

I LOVE HOW MUCH HEAVENLY FATHER AND THE SAVIOR LOVE US!

This has been a full, fun week.  Homecoming yesterday, Annie took pictures, super super cute.  I taught seminary at Oquirrh and South Hills and it was VERY fun. The gospel is such JOY.  We bottled purple plum jam and tomatoes.  We had a super fun ward party last night and they turned the bishopric into human pinatas, they had candy all over them and the kids had to chase them and grab it. The incredible people we live around have donated $1330 to the sweet family of the man who lost his life in the car accident.  Aunt Wonderful Laura bought tickets for me to go see the Scarlet Pimpernell at Hale Center Theater because I gave the ones we got last week away to everyone else so I took Joseph and we had so much fun and he took me out to eat at Panda Express and we had orange chicken and thought only of you, our chickens sleep in the trees, Annie cut Joseph's hair, I found out one of our family members was disowned for joining the church in England as a young man and worked and lived on his own until he saved enough to come to Zion, Grandma and Grandpa Clark are renting the spare room and we helped a boy from Hong Kong get his things and move in, Seth is first in the class and student of the month and did homework two nights until 10 pm...so cute, Mckay got a terrible haircut last week from his friend that's a girl and he looks like a fake barbie doll, we are SO EXCITED for general conference.

WHAT DO YOU WANT IN YOUR PACKAGE!  

Your mama loves you with all of her heart. When you are home eating orange chicken the memories of how you poured your heart and soul into your mission will be so sacred to you.  Thank you for giving the Lord EVERY SINGLE PART OF YOU!  

Are you getting Bailey Spears' letters? How is she doing? 

LOVE YOU!
