Mother,
Thanks for the email. The blog was really good. You're writing skills have improved (no offense). You must be very proud of your son.
So if you could send me the other camera card back that would be great, the one I have is getting full from a plethora of videos.
Things here are going well, pretty much the same as the last few weeks though people have been progressing better recently towards baptism than the last two months so that's a relief. We are expecting 4-6 baptisms in the month of Jubilant June. Majestic May ended majestically with our bomb investigators attending church on Sunday, This month is going to be great.
People are convinced that I will be leaving, but I do not believe that I have finished my work here. I can see one to two more transfers, though no body believes it.
We are very excited for this month, it truly is the Lords work, and as long as we are doing are best, we can trust that the ddifficulties we have are for our benefit. Though we don't know why we have them, we gotta have the faith that the moments, days, weeks, and years of sorrow will are there for us. It is a time of probation, we expected nothing less. If they are self inflicted difficulties I don't think we can make the same statement, until we have repented. The Lord gives us the difficulties that will make us better later.
Love you mom, keep up the good work.

Dad,
It's true, the Lord is pretty much obligated to give us trials otherwise there would have been no purpose of coming to earth. No one expected it to be easy. It's like running a 400 meter hurdle race. We prepared for a long time, and as we waited to start we knew that is was going to be harder than hard. We sat in the blocks of birth when the gun goes off. Sometimes you are running smooth and everything is going good, then you start to get a little tired, but you keep going. Sometimes you hit a hurdle, but it's OK, it just slowed you down a bit. Then you start getting incredibly tired and you want it to be over, but you remember what you trained for and you push harder.
Sometimes you hit a hurdle of greatest trial and fall... but you get up and finish the race, because that's what you came for. After it's over, you want to do it again.

So things here are going good. Pretty much everybody is telling me that I'm getting transferred in two weeks - including the members, but I know something they don't know, so I just smile and say maybe.
All four of our prime investigators came to church (the two couples) so we are really excited for them. June should be there month, and hopefully a few of our lazier investigators will pick it up a bit.
I don't know that I have any good stories right now, there are a lot of little miracle stories.
New mission president is coming at the end of the month so I'll have too start sucking up to this one. Joke, I'm anti suck up. I avoid the appearance of it at all costs.
The only thing new is that All my friends have ceased righting me, except Aaron Burgin, so I'm trying to get the girls my greeny knows to right me, but he's not going with the idea too well. Maybe he feels my writing skills are too much of a threat, that I would steal his potentials.
Love You dad.
