Sept 17, 2012


Wow talk about some good letters! Thanks for writing me everybody. Sounds like life is going so good back there and WOW CALEB, you have curly hair, blue eyes, zits, and a chin. Your grown up and handsome and stuff! Way to be. And i kid you not ,i don’t’ know if i have every gotten a picture with Braiden in it with out girls... way to be! 
Also next topic .... wow that is so cool that the basketball coaches are going to the house. So i got the game plan, be sure to have my high school highlight videos on play as he walks in the house and maybe that huge poster of me hanging from the ceiling and we will see what we can get.. (tell him I’ve got a little soccer in me) he can’t deny it... or better plan put us in the same package tell him it’s both or nothing... and i will give people water too when i am not playing! Just kidding,, but seriously I died laughing from the BOM story from tiffany too, that is very funny. Tiffany i don’t think there is any other place on this beautiful planet that is so dang hot.  As i type I’m dripping sweat and my arms are slipping of the desk while i type!. It got hot again. My comp is super unhappy. Oh ya and yes dad it is change week but i don’t get changes until tomorrow in the morning so we will see what happens i have a feeling that we are both staying… but we will see. This last week there was a little bit of progression in the work. Enough to keep me going! One of the cool things that happened is this last week we had a lesson with raul and ruby, and raul has had his answer for the last 2 weeks and knows that the church is true! So we have been working with ruby and this last Friday we had a great lesson on the difference between the Holy Ghost and the gift of the Holy Ghost and the blessings and she recognized her answer and said she knows that the church is true.  We invited them to be baptized together on the 29 of September and after i invited them, raul looked at his wife and said, YA lets get baptized together on the 29 and smiled really big! They both accepted and the best part is yesterday they both attended the stake conference that was via satellite and we all listened to the prophet and Elder Christoferson. I love them so much. They are my favorites. Also we have been teaching another family, named leila and fabiano for about 2 weeks and for so reason this last week that wouldn’t talk to us. Every time we came close to their house we would see them take off running and hide and they wouldn’t come out, and so i got a little peeved and made his brother came out and told him to tell them to face their problems instead of hiding and that the next time we pass by they need to either drop us or tell us what happened. So the next day we went by and they received us in their house and we had a 45 lesson on spiritual progression (just saw an update, 110 degrees right now in a building with out air conditioning and humid!!!!) but we basically took out their doubt and they want to continue learning so we will see what will happen with them. He didn’t want to stop smoking drinking and cofee but little by little we will get them. A funny story... last pday i snuck over to the other elders apartment and pulled the coolest prince of perisia move and scailed to their second story apartment be a cement balcony to jump in through their window and scared them to death.  The bad part is on my ascension i slipped trying to pull myself up to the next cement block and was falling backwards about 20 feet of the ground, but thankfully manage to catch my self on another cement block but got some nasty scabs on my arms that are going to be some good scars. Ha i couldn’t call Sister Agazzani cause i didn’t know what i was going to tell her about my arms. But i returned to climb it and the second time made it and scared them to death. Worth it!
Lifes great. I’m happy. I hope you are all happy and obedient to the commandments and gospel. Braiden and Caleb don’t get lost in the young life. Keep your eyes open for the spirit and learning experiences. I like learning now. With a handful of love,
lder shaw
