hey howell fam and mama
its soo good to hear from you guys every week. thats awesome that david had his farewell. that kid is going to be such a awesome missionary, im excited for him. its good to hear that dad is doin better and that the surgery went fine.
this past week has been awesome. i freakin love my new comp. he's name is elder Jacobs from alpine utah. he reminds me alot of my freinds back home like tommy and chad.
we have zone leader council in brussels this week which is going to be way fun and spiritial.
these past couples days, my comp and i have listened alot to byu devotionals on his i pod. my testimony has grown sooo much. theres one that you alll should listen to. its by steven covey and its called ""an educated conscience"". also one by elder Benard called ""living waters"" or somethin like that. those talks will change your life.
its good to hear that you got my pictures. my comp and i have come to the conclusion that my face is getting fatter. so were busy tryin to make plans to change that. well i guess lindsey did say that i looked more muture haha.
i love you all so much. i was thinking a couple days ago, what is going to be the biggest thing that i will miss about being on a mission when i go back home. ive never felt the spirit sooo much in my life then here on my mission. its truely such a blessing to be a servant of the lord 24/7 and having the spirit so close. i love you all so much. read/listen to those byu devotional talks. its amazing.
love ya
