Hey Mom,

that is pretty funny that you met Bro White. i think it would be fun to meet these guys with you but i appreciate the footballs too.

hearing the ward members names from home is scaring me a little because i am having a tough time remembering people. one thing that might help me before Church when i speak would be to go over a ward list with me. i have gotten to see lots of homecoming talks and kinda have a feel for what people are looking for and im sure 2 or 3 stories will be included. it is so funny when rm's forget to tell mission stories and how people react. but ill avoid that lol.

im glad that i get home early in the evening. Steve Marsh didnt get home till midnight. i didnt know my itinerary either till you told me just now.

kinda a slow week with everything going on. we get in to people's houses to teach first lessons to people like twice a day but are having trouble holding on to any of them. ed comes and goes, it would be hard to progress any farther with him without his mom getting behind it.

we havent seen the robinson's since last monday but we have heard that they are doing well. we will try to see them tonight.

tony (anthony l***) is on his honeymoon this week. we have cool experiences everyday and have our baptism with tony on the 1st but i wish we could get more of a teaching pool going. it seems like nobody wants to commit to the possibility of baptism and a changed life.

i go on my last exchange this wednesday which will be nice. then i just cruise through the last few weeks uninterrupted by any major meetings except one. Elder Zwick from the presidency of the Seventy is coming to the mission a week from tommorow which will be cool. not much else to talk about. same ole same ole. hope your tests go well.

to grandma: the kids are getting older. i am really excited to meet will. Celina has been really solid since the baptism. they had us over for dinner last week and wanted to work out getting us to the sealing. i hope i can work out all the trips to sealings. that is the good thing about being so close to my mission.

grandpa: i am excited to see you too. i really enjoy the letters you send even though i cant write as much back. the sky is the limit on what you can learn on the mission. i have all the tools now to do anything i want to do with my life. the Lord always pays you just like it says. i hope that i can do what He expects with what He has given me.



love,

Elder Barron
