Dear Family,


What an uplifting email. Thank you for telling me all these things. I was overcome with happiness and gratitude when you had told me you were called to the  RS Presidency. Mom, why did I get so lucky to have a mom like you? I really don't get it???? You are just too neat and I wonder if you just have an unlimited supply of love or what? It overwhelms me how your role as a mother is so powerful in my life and I know your role as the secretary will bless so many lives as well:) The Lord makes no mistakes. Be prayerful then be still and know that all is well. When I looked at the Picture of our family at the reunion I could just feel the sincere joy in everyone's smile. You and dad are a couple to look up to. You love each other so much and your so focused on helping us become who we need to become. I think about those  littles a lot, they are such special children. They are going to be powerful influences in the Lords work. I saw Landon in those pictures as well. He just needs to come back to church. His life won't change overnight but his desire to change can propel a great change in the future and a lasting change for the grand littles. His activity in the church reaches far beyond himself, it has potential to change thousands of his posterity. So he's just staying with you all? I would love it if he stayed. I love him so much and even though he doesn't think so, he's got a special calling in this life.  Heavenly Father knew that it'd take a lot of faith to be who he is but He knew that He could do it. He was put here to learn and to help us learn from who he is. I just love him. I'm glad to hear the family is healthy and happy:) You're doing great mom and dad ha. I think if we just keep smiling and always REMEMBER then we'll always know that life really is tooooooo gooooood:) Oh and by the way... you and dad look great!

So when you said that the Stuckis moved to Vegas I actually got a bit teary. That's silly! I just love our ward and wish everyone could stay forever:) We already lost the Algers:( Who's next!!!!???

I'm glad you got Elder Jones' letter. He's quite the Elder. I'm grateful to be serving with him. All is well over here in our part of the vineyard:) We just love talking with people, bearing our testimonies and loving everyone. It's really quite the blessing to live the way we do. the Chico 1st ward is too great. I love all them and it's so much fun. They are so so so willing. Mom if you want your relief society sisters to be healthy and happy and active get the to do missionary work! That's what it's all about:) So I don't know if this is legal or not, haha but I SOMEtimes ponder about how much I love my wife, our kids and our future. I feel so blessed to come from the ancestors I did and feel full of gratitude for the family we have. I know that if my wife and I are always missionary minded then we'll be as happy and healthy as can be and so will our children. I'm going to be one lucky guy:) So this is the last week of the transfer, there's a good chance I'm going, but it's not for sure. I want to stay, but am fine with whatever. If I stay then I'll stay for 2 more transfers because Elder Jones leaves to go home after next. So we'll see what happens. Mom if ya could just hug and kiss those littles for me, let them know that I love them and miss them that'd be great. Tell them that I'm grateful for and can feel their prayers. They are special and they need to know that all the time:) This world will tell them otherwise and the devil will not take a break:) He's rude:( I love ya. If my dad doesn't know that he's special either, let him know ha. give him a 5 minute hug for me. While you're hugging think about how much we, your kids, love you both. Hoorah for Israel can at any moment really stop and cry/laugh that's how great life is:) It sounds bad but it's not, it's good. If you still post these up that's great:) Hi friends:) Love ya. K sorry I'll go. I love you family and hope you know that.
