Hah i think my mission has been totally different from the other two. Theres always something wierd going on here that we get invited to. I dont mind one bit though! Im loving it! I dont know if i told you what happened to the duck hunter game.....Its sad. So i was using it one morning for like 30 minutes flying it outside and i was having a good ol time. Then i had Brunson come try and he missed the duck like twelve times and he finally got it just in time for it to fly onto the roof......so no more ducky. I still play with the gun though....Whats with everyone getting married. I am about tired of it! I could puke! Last week was lyndee and this week its Brandie now possibly Josh?. Wow this is rediculous. I told you last week what i wanted i think. Maybe some teeth whitening stuff too or anything. im not picky. Im always up for a good tie!
So this week we had zone conference and it was pretty good. I only fell asleep once! I cant listen to president that long. Sometimes he reminds me of george w bush. The way he tells his joke and laughs at them and sometimes he says things like. "Its better to ask forgiveness than permission." Things like that. Ha So if i ever get in trouble ill just use that quote and ill be free! Hah it was good though. He issued a challenge. Theres a talk about the Book of Mormon by Quentin L Cook at a mission president seminar that was really good. Did you know him and Elder Holland were missionary companions? ANyways they had the same challenge that was given to us. Its this. By April 1 we are supposed to read the Book of Mormon(we were given new ones)and mark anytime it talks about Christ. Any names anything. Then after that we are to read it again by Aug i think and mark every Principle and Doctine and then total them up on each page. So i thought that was really cool! So far im loving it and im only 10 chapters in, but its amazing what that does for you to be looking for Christ in every verse. He is there more than we realize i think. And you start learning more about his character and how much he was really helping out those people and how centered their lives were around Him, its a good lesson for us. I think when we read we just figure its going to be talking about God so we dont really pick up the significance of what is being said and how much is being said.. And one thing i have found is that for the most part when it says Lord or God it is talking about Jesus Christ.Which i thought was very interesting, because it says "they prayed to the Lord" And we dont really pray to Jesus..so thats kinda confusing, but then you never know if when we pray if they are both listening...im thinking they both are...thats just me though...i dont know its all so confusing. Cuz i think in verse 10 it also says the "God of our fathers" is Jesus Christ. And we know that Jesus Christ was the God/Jehovah of the Old testament, so if they called Christ God and Lord back then why wouldnt their descendants, The only thing im wondering about is the prayer thing....Me and Tidrick talked about it for like 2 hours while we were in bed. Hah so im still a little sketchy on the whole thing but so far it has been a mind-opening challenge. And im very excited to have a goal like that. Wow i think i just confused myself again when i read through that. Hah! go me! so that was the focus of Zone conference. I got to see Elder Sneed again. Its been almost 6 months. I have a lot of friends here in this zone. Most of them are close too so thats sweet. They are all going to leave me though!!!! All my friends in the mission only have 1 or 2 transfers to go. Then im friendless again. Yesterday we got to ditch church early! That was refreshing! hah! someone Tidrick helped teach up in Traverse City got baptized and so we got to go up there for that. It was way cool. Ill send you some pictures sometime this week. Scott took us up there. Hes the coolest member i have met on my mission for sure. I finally got to see Lake Michigan! About time huh? And the funny part is i had to drive 2 and a half hours north to see it! When its only like 3 miles west of the apartment....seems kinda backwards. So thats about all that happened this week. Love you guys! Peace out
I cant believe im having an easier winter here, thats so crazy. Im loving this place though. I think i could actually live here in Muskegon. Its pretty cool. Ive heard down south a little bit in like St Joseph or south haven and mayber even here its basically just like southern california. There are nice beaches and it gets way hot and its jet ski paradise pretty much. Then in the winter you dont have huge mountains or anything but they do have resorts and stuff. Muskegon is a kickin place. i like it. I just wish i was here in the summer. Hopefully i get to stay here for 6 months. So thats sweet. Oh man im hungry. I guess its time for subway. I spend a lot of my MSF there...since its right accross the street and all. Sounds like you are working too hard! Go have some fun dangit! Thats what its all about right? haha. Hope everything is going good at the homestead. Thanks for the pix and the letter. Love you

Hello Hello Hello,
How is the bestest family in the world? Thank you so much for the money. OH man i needed that. I was broke! I dont even know how it happened. Dang kid! Ryan i just barely got your package today, They kept forgetting to bring it to me and so last night i went up the the LeVasseurs to say hi to them and then we stayed up here in Hart to spend P-Day together, But i loved it! That book was something that i have always wanted actually. I was going to start writing quotes down and stuff. I was even thinking about putting quotes and lyrics and stuff all over me walls. Hah So that was awesome! Good good good. That made me way happy. Mom im just getting over my cold. I think its just about gone. I was taking some stuff here and there. I had some lozenges grandma sent me so that was good. They helped out a little. But im good. a little cold never hurt anyone! I shoveled snow off a chicken coop this morning. A member up here invited us over with the other missionaries and fed us a great big breakfast. So that was way nice of them! I cant believe Kelly got in a wreck! AAAHHH! Ill check back later to see if Ryan wrote anything about it. JOSHUA CANNOT GET MARRIED WHILE I AM ON MY MISSION! IM CALLING SNEED TONIGHT! HE IS GOING TO BE MAD TOO! Okay im cool, I just had to let that out. Thats cool that he is thinking about it though...../sarcasm off. Things are sweet here. I got to butcher a goat the other day! I skinned it and i let Tidrick gut it because he has never done it before, and because its nasty...he popped the stomach and the poop-bag. It was a nasty mess. And he thinks he is going to be a doctor! Hah we got some sweet pictures of it though. And we ate the heart and liver. By the way, It was a members goat and they helped us. It wasnt just a random goat we decided to murder. It was planned. Like all my murders.....buahaha. He actually missed its head when he shot it. and almost blew off his jaw. Hah! Noob! Muskegon is great though thats for sure. We are teaching some way cool people and we might be getting some more gators this week. We are working with two 19 year olds that are planning on missions. so thats pretty cool. We get to show em the ropes a little bit. Well all the other Elders have been done emailing for a while now so i better go, I will write more later tonight when i get back to Muskegon. Love you guys, hope all is well. "There is sunshine in my soul today.....hah that was dumb. Love you guys! Bye
HAH Im not mad, i just accidentally hit the caps so i decided to play it off like i was mad. Josh can do what he wants. see if i care....And now lyndie is getting married. She is still a baby! What the heck. You will have to tell her hi for me and maybe kick her in the shins please. For my b day i have an idea. For the last 6 months i have been stealing all my comps cologne, and i keep forgetting to buy my own when im at a mall. So maybe some of that would be good. Im not sure what kind i like the best, ive had some burberry and kenneth cole. I like those a lot. But whatever you get will be fine i think. We just barely got back from a dinner appointment, and they have this amazing hill by their house. i didnt think hills like that existed in Michigan, but we are going sledding for sure. We will invite some people we met the other day and maybe turn it into gospel sledding? Possibly letting them sled into Muskegon bay and baptize them on the spot? I like it! hmmm not too shabby of an idea me thinks. Too bad nobody has a snowboard or id be doing that! Ya we are at Scotts house right now. This is where we do emails mostly. He gave us a key to his house so we can go do our laundry and email and stuff. He is a stud. He is driving us to Traverse City next Sunday after church. I guess someone Tidrick taught up there is getting baptized, so we got permission to go up there for that. Its a long drive though, oh well! What else am i going to do right? I decided im a very spontaneous person... very... I like it hah. Random thought for the night.....I got a letter from Grandma B today. Wow she is awesome. yep yep. welp gotta go love you guys!
Hah sorry you are all cold and stuff. I think we have as much snow as you, it has been a way easy winter so far here. I hardly ever wear my coat, haha its all good. Im not complaining! I was expecting hell frozen over...Oh I just remembered a funny story. So we picked up this inactive member for church., Hes mexican...I guess he didnt have time to shower, but he came out of his house in a suit and he looked really good and stuff. But he brought this big duffel bag with him into the church and he walks straight into the bathroom. I was talking to some members and i kept noticing that people would go into the bathroom and then walk straight out, so i was like what the heck is going on in there. Tidrick came over and told me he just went in and Frank had taken all his clothes off and was shaving in the sink at church with nothing but a towel on! Hah! So i waited a little bit and church was about to start and nobody wanted to go in and tell him, so i went in their and i was like "Whats going on in here?" And he just said, I didnt have time to shower so im shaving. Like it was nothing new to him. Hahah it was so cool. Everyone was giving him the strangest looks in there. it was great! So that made my day. Theres your unusual story of the week! That pedestal looks heavY! Im glad i dont have to move that around! Hah im sure its going to look good though. You did it of course. Thank you so much for the money! I was pretty broke. Hah i dont know how it happened. I really appreciate it though. Thanks! I always love the pictures you send too! I miss mountains! and 58 inch plasma tvs! Hah someday i guess. Hah well i better get going. Love you dad thanks for everythihng you do for me.
Your son,

Happy New Year!
Here i am in Muskegon loving life! Im loving it here. I got to meet the ward and they are way cool. There was an eight year old that got baptized on saturday so i got to meet people there and then at church i got to talk to everyone so that was cool> There are some awesome people there, and im finally in a ward! Woohoo! There are actually teenagers here, haha. I didnt think teenagers were allowed in Michigan. I got to meet all of them and they were way cool. They invite us over to hang out with them and play ping pong and pool. I almost talked one of them into letting us go snowmobiling....so we will see, haha. But its a way fun ward. I might even be related to a guy there. He grew up in Boise and his mothers maiden name was Larsen. Hi name is Al Guysler, i dont know how it was spelled, thats how it sounds anyways, but i think we might be related somewhere. So he thought since we were related he would pick on me all day. And he did. Hah. him and another guy are both from Idaho. And for like 20 minutes in gospel principles they were talking about how awesome Idaho was and how Utah is lucky they let us have Cache Valley. They call it the Terrestrial Kingdom and then over the hill in Idaho is the celestial. Hah bunch of dorks. They both served in the Michigan Lansing mission too. Im not sure if thats where they met or what, but that was pretty sweet i thought. So there are some really funny members so im loving it here. Last night we had dinner at a members house and they had a bnch of kids .there so we played hockey with them and stuff for a long time. I got the little girl to promise to come to church. She is seven and had a bad experience in church and hasnt gone back. She made me promise that i would sit by her and bring chocolate and that we can write on each other with this invisible ink marker we were playing with. hah so that was pretty sweet i thought. Those are the appointments i like, haha. kids are the best. So im really loving thearea. Our apartment is pretty good too, and my comp is a stud. I dont have my camera or i would send you a picture of him. Next time i guess.
I dont know if you guys got the new ensign, but there is a pretty cool talk by Elder Holland that we have been sharing with people. Its about Looking towards the future and not dwelling on past mistakes or things that you had to leave behind. He talked about Lots wife, how they were fleeing from Sodom and Gammora and she looked back, and he said she looked back Longingly and so she was turned to stone. He related that to us and how we should always be moving forward and stop dwelling on past mistakes. Because Faith always points to the future and if we dont have faith about our future we are just spinning our wheels and not progressing and growing. So we thought that was a good message to share for the new years. We have been teaching that and about how we should always be trying to improve ourselves in the gospel and about how we should forget about those things that are holding us back and keeping us from progressing, because thats what this life is for to progress so we can return to Heaven and so i thought that was a really good talk for this time of year.
So it has been pretty dang cold here the last few days and its ticking me off. Its snowing right now and its supposed to get worse too. This winter so far has been cake. I hardly ever wear my jacket. I get scolded almost every day for not wearing it. I have a cold now so i guess they were right! Hah! Well wehave a dinner appointment soon so i better get off. I might write later tonight to the rest of yall or maybe tomorrow. Who knows. So i got to jet. Love you all. Have a happy one!

Happy Birthday!
So i was in bed and i decided to make a poem for you. I remember it was really funny and i was laughing as i went to bed and when i woke up i couldnt remember anything i was thinking about. Dad gum brains! They only work half the time i think! I hope you had a good one though. Our family usually throws pretty good parties. Thats way cool that you went biking at night, thats my pops! You need to tell me some of your crazy stories of your younger years. Did you ever get in any fights? Hah i know some stories but not all of them. I have the bestest coolest dad around. Everyone that sees your picture mentions how big you are and i mention other things about you and they are always blown away. Hah! Hope your heads all swolled up. I need some good stories though. Of body building and fights and stuff like that. haha . i better go to our dinner appointment. We arent supposed to wear deodarant there, sorry. hah The kid gets seizures if he smells anything a little different so we are supposed to wash up befre we go. so i love you and ill talk to you later.

Werd UUUUUPPPP!
So this week was MUCH better than last week! Since being sick is the worst thing ever. It snowed a lot here! But now its all turning to slush so that is really gay, especially because Brunson doesnt have a valid drivers license and so i have to drive every day. Schools have snow days like they're going out of style here! Last week they had 3! In Utah we wouldnt have had a single one, stupid Utah, im shaking my fist right now... So of course the LeVasseurs called us up like every 10 minutes, so we went sledding with them and played in the snow and stuff. Fun stuff! Theyre crazy crazy crazy.
But enough of that boring stuff. We got another baptism this week! Jason Stafinski. It was pretty tight. Ill send you another email with pix. And ill send that last baptism pix to the bros.
So Christmas is almost here! Im way excited. Its wierd though, Cuz holidays for missionaries are just another ol day. So that kinda sucks, but at least i get to talk to my peeps! We are going over to Mamma Myers house Christmas morning and she is cooking us food and we will be there for most of the day i think, except for our other 3 dinner appointments.... But ill probably be calling in the morning sometime. OHH@!
MOM THIS IS IMPORTANT!!!!!
Okay so we are supposed to come up with our favorite food or dessert, becuase she likes to make everyone in her family their favorite meal for breakfast. She is way awesome, i love her, we go over there and have tea parties with her and just chill out, but she is already making french toast so i was trying to think of my favorite dessert and i failed.....All i knew was i really like chocolate. SOOO mother dear....You have to email Sista Myers for me and tell her what my favorite dessert is. Or give her a few that i like, i told her im better at multiple choice than i am at fill in the blank. Here is her Email address:
Ruthmyers@charter.net
Hah im a dork i know, thats what i get for being a picky eater my whole life. Stupid food anyways. Welp I think thats all i have for you this week. We are still teaching and kicking butt up here in the hand of america. Ill be sending a package hopefully by thursday this week, if you get it late im sorry! BLAH! HAH AHA <-thats me crying. Oky doky love you peace out.
Here is our other victim who fell helplessly into the divine waters of baptism! He didnt even see it coming! Thats how we roll. Hit em while theyre down and kick them into the water. Works like a charm im telling you. This is my gangsta Jason Stafinski. He came to church one day and found Elder B-runs and ever since then we have been teaching him. He has had a cast on his foot for quite a while and he just got it off, so we hurried and dunked him before he had to get his other foot done. He planned out his entire baptism and everything. He was solid for sure. His best friend that has been sitting in on our lessons came too and so he might jsut be the next target we are going to get wet. But everything went really well and it was a nice baptism. Elder Brunson was actually throwing up that whole day and so we werent sure how everything was going to play out, but as soon as we picked up Jason Brunson felt 100% better for the entire baptism. So that was pretty sweet so thats that. Love ya'll !
Whats up pops! That sucks you have been freezing cold at work! Thats the crappiest thing ever. I hate winter im telling you. Lets move to California when i get back? Haha just kidding, kinda. Sounds like you are working way too much too! Bro Fuller worked at a steel plant when he was younger and so he asked what you did and i told him you worked in the Roll mill, and he was like oh well he had the good job. I think he was in the melting place when he worked there. Hah it was crazy. And his wife was talking about how she was on a gluten-free diet and stuff. so i got to talk about you a lot to them, haha.
Hows Briannes driving skills? I sure hope they improved a little bit. How is she handling the toyota in the snow? Its a good truck. Everyday i miss driving it because these cars are just horrible. I have hydroplaned and just about skidded off the road tons of times. Stupid junkers!
Yay boots! Im not sure if my feet are bigger than yours or not...I wear 10 1/2 and i have short little stubby toes too. Hah! I have good looking feet boy! But im sure a 1/2 size will be good if im wearing my snowboarding socks with them, hah!
Dang Grizz thats so dang funny. He has got to be the dumbest dog ive ever seen or heard of. I love it though, good boy Grizz! Give him and pat on the head for me! Well i better get going. Love you dad youre the best!
So this week was MUCH better than last week! Since being sick is the worst thing ever. It snowed a lot here! But now its all turning to slush so that is really gay, especially because Brunson doesnt have a valid drivers license and so i have to drive every day. Schools have snow days like they're going out of style here! Last week they had 3! In Utah we wouldnt have had a single one, stupid Utah, im shaking my fist right now... So of course the LeVasseurs called us up like every 10 minutes, so we went sledding with them and played in the snow and stuff. Fun stuff! Theyre crazy crazy crazy.
But enough of that boring stuff. We got another baptism this week! Jason Stafinski. It was pretty tight. Ill send you another email with pix. And ill send that last baptism pix to the bros.
So Christmas is almost here! Im way excited. Its wierd though, Cuz holidays for missionaries are just another ol day. So that kinda sucks, but at least i get to talk to my peeps! We are going over to Mamma Myers house Christmas morning and she is cooking us food and we will be there for most of the day i think, except for our other 3 dinner appointments.... But ill probably be calling in the morning sometime. OHH@!
MOM THIS IS IMPORTANT!!!!!
Okay so we are supposed to come up with our favorite food or dessert, becuase she likes to make everyone in her family their favorite meal for breakfast. She is way awesome, i love her, we go over there and have tea parties with her and just chill out, but she is already making french toast so i was trying to think of my favorite dessert and i failed.....All i knew was i really like chocolate. SOOO mother dear....You have to email Sista Myers for me and tell her what my favorite dessert is. Or give her a few that i like, i told her im better at multiple choice than i am at fill in the blank. Here is her Email address:
Ruthmyers@charter.net
Hah im a dork i know, thats what i get for being a picky eater my whole life. Stupid food anyways. Welp I think thats all i have for you this week. We are still teaching and kicking butt up here in the hand of america. Ill be sending a package hopefully by thursday this week, if you get it late im sorry! BLAH! HAH AHA <-thats me crying. Oky doky love you peace out.
Here is our other victim who fell helplessly into the divine waters of baptism! He didnt even see it coming! Thats how we roll. Hit em while theyre down and kick them into the water. Works like a charm im telling you. This is my gangsta Jason Stafinski. He came to church one day and found Elder B-runs and ever since then we have been teaching him. He has had a cast on his foot for quite a while and he just got it off, so we hurried and dunked him before he had to get his other foot done. He planned out his entire baptism and everything. He was solid for sure. His best friend that has been sitting in on our lessons came too and so he might jsut be the next target we are going to get wet. But everything went really well and it was a nice baptism. Elder Brunson was actually throwing up that whole day and so we werent sure how everything was going to play out, but as soon as we picked up Jason Brunson felt 100% better for the entire baptism. So that was pretty sweet so thats that. Love ya'll !
Whats up pops! That sucks you have been freezing cold at work! Thats the crappiest thing ever. I hate winter im telling you. Lets move to California when i get back? Haha just kidding, kinda. Sounds like you are working way too much too! Bro Fuller worked at a steel plant when he was younger and so he asked what you did and i told him you worked in the Roll mill, and he was like oh well he had the good job. I think he was in the melting place when he worked there. Hah it was crazy. And his wife was talking about how she was on a gluten-free diet and stuff. so i got to talk about you a lot to them, haha.

Thats so cool about your tithing money! Thats perfect. The Lord works in mysterious ways eh? Merry Christmas! WOOHOO! So i just barely got your package with my clothes in it! Yay! I wore them around all morning. I also got a package from danny and suzi and tony and lori. Hah i loved that Lowes Christmas card! I was laughing my head off all morning and my comp was too. Hah it made my day. I sent you guys a Christmas package. Nothing is wrapped or anything so just open it up and surprise!
So Christmas Eve i think we are spending with the Levasseurs (Marissa thought it would be a good idea to put flour handprints all over me, ill attach a picture) and the Browns invited us over too. Then Christmas morning i am going to Mamma Myers and will be over there for a while, !!!WHICH BY THE WAY!!! She is expecting me to come up with something to cook for her! You need to email her remember? Im too dumb and i fall apart under that much pressure. Hah Its Ruthmyers@charter.net I believe. You should check my last email to make sure tho But after that we have a few other places we are invited too, so we are going to be taken care of pretty well. We ended up with three christmas trees. The Longcors brought a real one to us. But we have nothing to decorate it with and our stand is broken so it has just been leaning against our table. Hah But we have packages all over the floor and candy galore. <-Rhymer i am. So we are going to be taken care of really well so its all good! Im going to keep this short though becasue i have a long letter to write president to convince him to let me stay here in Hart. Ill find out Christmas eve, So ill talk to you guys in a few days! Love you all. OH I can talk i think as much as i want. They never said anything about it, so ill call you guys on Christamas a bunch. I want to call the Grandparents too! Okay love you guys bye bye!

Ya she came up to me at church and pointed a finger at my face and said " and ill be expecting a call from you tomorrow!" Hah she is so funny. She gives us hugs when we go over and stuff. Shes the best. Not as good as you, but she is like our mother out here. haha

Hello!
Did you guys get my pictures? I sent them and got an error to you guys tho....stooopid computers. Sooooo, this week was the crappiest week ever! yippee! I was sick with the Ebola virus all week i think.....We went down to N Muskegon and went to this play with a member there. HHe manages the theater called the Frauenthal and so he took us to it. It was this ginormous christmas tree that kids climbed in and sang and there was this freakin cool light show too. It was sweet. Afterwards we went to pizza hut.....bad idea. Pizza hut is one of Satans tools to kill us missionary folk. I was crampin up after i ate and i thought my stomach was going to pop! So all week i felt like i was going to throw up and i was constipated and took laxatives and they didnt do jack crap I didnt eat for two days and i still cant eat much. Brunson was throwing up like crazy to. It was wierd, we had different symptoms but we both felt like crap. So basically all week we were just chillin in our apartment, we didnt make it to church either...Sister Levasseur is a doctor and she bought us some food and basically saved our lives. Then we got a blessing and were all good now! And guess what! Im out of time i have 2 minutes left and then i get kicked off. I had too many emails to read! haha i love it. So ill try to get to another computer today or tomorrow to write you guys. Cuz this isnt fair. Love you guys so much !
Okay so we went to the library in Hart, so hopefully i can write my peeps. Yesterday we had zone conference so thats why i didnt write you guys. It was pretty boring we had nasty food and i fell asleep and so thats good im starting to know a lot of other missionaries, so its making things a lot more fun. I am making a ton of friends and so that helps a lot. We went to pizza hut again that night with the Fremont elders and i felt like i was going to throwup. Im never going to that place again.
I got the tree yesterday when we got home, we are going to set it up today after we clean the place up. We both have trees and a members i going to get us a real one from his farm, so we are going to be all decked out! yay christmas! We dont have a time limit on how long we can talk either as far as i know. So ill be talking to you guys all day, well for a while anyways... we have 3 dinners....i think we are actually going to mamma myers that morning to have breakfast with her family. She is the best cook. oh man, we are having biscuits and gravy tonight! Its a good day! so i was going to make some christmas cards for everyone but i dont have a picture to use and i dont have a walmart......so now im sad. Mom i dont know what i need. mostly money i think. haha or you can buy me a hoody or shirts/pants or something like that, i always need clothes. Ties are good too.
I dont know josh wood but i heard about him before i even left. I met Elder Turner the first day i was here, he was Jordans friend so he came up and gave me a hug from him. That sucks they are in bad axe, the thumb. Theres nothing going on over there from what i hear, haha
So there is finally snow on the ground! It snowed like crazy for 2 days and so we have a little bit. There still isnt a lot, but im sure it will all come this week or next, bring it on! It snowed really hard yesterday when we were going to zone conference, there were a ton of wrecks and i could barely see the freeway the snow was so thick. It was sweet.
so not a whole lot went on this week with us being sick, but this week we are going to try to make up for it. We have another lesson with Jason before he is getting baptized! Its this Saturday! He planned everything out too, he is way excited. He is a crazy man tho. Im going to resend those pictures of Dennys baptism to the bros/sis ' s...emails. so things are good here. Love you guys, peace out.
