Count Down- 4 Weeks to go!

Hey Momma(:

yea im starting to get pretty freaked out about the fact that im coming home haha, and i know a lot of people in this mish and so every time i run into some other missionaries they're always messing with me about going home haha. so don't worry about mentioning the countdown or not, cuz believe me you're not the only one talking about it haha(: 

holy crap holy crap holy crap i cant believe how big the boys are getting....... hahahaha hey what i just said reminded me of a movie quote, know which one? ... "Chief, are you thinking what i'm thinking?" ... "That depends, were you thinking 'holy shiz, holy shiz, a swordfish almost went through my head'... if so, then yes".... haha anyways, yea holy crap i cant believe how big the boys are, like what the crap, does everyone just share everything in the house now? like clothes and shoes and dirtbikes and whatnot?! hahahaha thats gonna be so weird!!!! aaaahhhhhh like living in a house with a bunch of other DUDES instead of living with LITTLE SIBLINGS hahahahaha what the freak?!?! Like everyone is my size or bigger now other than Ammon, but he's probably not that far off that punk!

my headaches are pretty much gone now, i think it may have had something to do with the weather, cuz it got really cold and really wet REALLY fast haha. and red bull is definitley not disgusting haha, the only thing thats disgusting about it is how much it fricken costs! 

its not really an "uplifting mission story", its just something cool i recognized that i never noticed before in the book of mormon. in moroni 8 moroni is just copying down a letter from his dad, and its something super small right in the beginning, Mormon says "i keep you always in my prayers". and i just thought that that was super cool, to see a little bit of the personal side of their relationship. like all either of them have ever known their whole lives was just war and wickedness, and someone as important as Mormon, the prophet of Christ's church as it's dying on the earth, and the top general of all the armies of the nephites, and in his personal prayers probably at night before going to bed, or before going to a battle, he never forgets to ask for the safety of his son. i dont know, i think its super cool to be able to see a more personal, day to day level of heroes like that. and then it made me think of how hard it must have been for Moroni, because right in the beginning of his book, he mentions how is dad was killed in combat. i mean most likely they were together when it happened, there were only 24 of them left, so i assume that they would stick together. holy crap could you imagine that? and even with all that, never once did moroni question whether or not all that he was sacrificing was worth it. his testimony was so strong, holy crap. and man, could you imagine how powerful they could have been with Mormon as they're leader if they had been a righteous people? freak that's what our country could use right now are some righteous leaders haha.

well i hope that rant works for you haha(: it was really cool to be able to read that last part of the book of mormon so quickly. i bet it was awesome to read it in 3 days, that must have just been like watching a movie or something. for me it made it a lot more realistic.

haha im really excited for like Pres Monson to get up at the podium one conference and say "well we've found the records of the tribes of whoever, and now we have the Russian version of the book of mormon" or the african version or something haha, cuz Jesus says in the book of mormon to Nephi in 3 Nephi that all the people on the earth that he visits he commands them to write, and in they're due time they'll come forth, so hopefully pretty soon we'll have whole new volumes of scriptures, like more prophets and stories and stuff... it'll be sweet.

im still trying to figure out what im gonna do as soon as i get home, and so far the prevailing idea is to just jump on the trampoline for like half an a hour haha, but there's still time to decide(:

i love you guys, have good week(: talk to you next week(:

im just running a hand-off to the train as it flew by haha, i barely got the ball out of the way and the train operator didnt look too happy haha.
