Dear Family,
Thank you so much for you email yesterday! It was nice to get
updated on how things are going back home, and that your life still is
full of fun events even though I am not there! :) Hopefully everything
"behind the scenes" is going well too with the family, as well as all
the extended family. I pray that you are enjoying the time that you have
together, creating memories, and living life to the fullest at every
moment!
With Memorial Day yesterday, there was a lack of things to do
in Rapid City for Pday, so we ended up playing basketball for 6 or so
hours! It was a lot of fun; but I sure was tired by the end of it. I am,
however, loosing weight rapidly and enjoying the toning muscle :) We
run 1 1/2 - 2 miles everyday except Sunday, and I am doing my best to
eat more healthy. I have not had any soda for 3 weeks, and I am feeling
great! Now if I could just lay of the Candy...or even the .45 cent wings
at Buffalo Wild Wings on Tuesdays...;) That's to much to ask from a
growing young adult male though! :)
Missionary work is going well here in the Canyon Lake Ward. We
have a young 9 year old that is being baptized on Saturday at 11am. The
Rapid Area has had a baptism just about every week since I arrived here
between the Sisters, and 3 sets of Elders. It makes me joyful to know
that yet another brother of mine is entering into the waters of baptism
and accepting the covenants that will allow him to progress towards
exaltation! Pray that everything goes well this week; we have many many
appointments!
