To everyone: Hey guys. Don't worry, this week is doing better. I've started the happy drugs and have been seeing the shrink. Also I actually saw my mission president today. He told me that he's going to try to keep me in the area that I'm in right now, but things are very hectic in the mission right now, so I could be moved around anywhere they need me to go. So if you do feel like sending me anything, SEND IT TO THE MISSION OFFICE!!!! It will take only an extra two days then sending it directly to me, but then again, it will get to me much quicker if I am emergency transfered again. So don't worry, all is well. Love you guys a lot!!!

To me: Nothing too exciting this week. Do you guys even see the Elders in your ward? You should sign up to feed them one night. Just think of it as you should treat them the way you would treat me if I were serving in that area! haha. I have put together on a big thumb drive all of my pictures that I have taken on my mission so far and am going to send it with my next package. The problem is, half of the stuff that I want to send is still in my old area. =( Oh well, it will get there in a couple weeks. That way you can get all of July's pictures as well. So that sucks about the fireworks. The Arizona law changed here, apparantley, and the not for the better. It was worse then Utah. Not only that, but since I'm a missionary (and I had a very obediant companion), we weren't able to light any off anyways. But that makes me excited for when I get back. Anyways, love you guys!

Peace, Lvz, and Dew

Sorry Guys. . . . .

Well family, I need to apologize for being such a jerk. Things have been pretty hard the past few weeks, so I haven't felt like writing. But that isn't fair of me, so I'm repenting and writing now. Well, a lot has happened the past few weeks. My companion and I had a few fights, the area has been struggling, but I've been struggling as well. We had interviews with president last week, and I let him know what was going on. For those of you who don't know, I've been trying to get back on antidepressants for the past two months and I've also been seeing a shrink. I stopped seeing the doctor because I wanted to try and do this on my own. It hasn't been working out. I'm seeing the doctor again tomorrow. Also, I was emergency transfered, but hopefully not permanently. It had nothing to do with me and my companion or what I've been going through. There was an Elder who will always remain unnamed who came out with me who has been struggling with his mission all the time. He apparantley met a girl in his first area, has yet to spend an entire transfer in an area due to emergency transfers, and he's been giving president a lot of stress. Well, I guess last week in the middle of the night his girlfriend came and picked him up and they made it all the way to Vegas before President could get a hold of him. So they pulled me out of my area to be with his companion, Elder Weight, who is an awesome missionary. I'm not sure what's happened to the guy, but they did make it to Vegas and we haven't heard from them since. I feel really bad for his family. I can't imagine what they're feeling or thinking right now. Anyways, so I'm here in Cave Creek for a week or two, maybe even permanently. This area is huge and it's right in the middle of the desert. It's pretty fun.

So that is what has been happening for the past few weeks. Again I'm sorry for not writing, and I hope to hear from you guys next week.

Peace, Lvz, and Dew

So excited to hear from him, I said this. . . .
Hey you! Are you still at the library?? I have a letter I'm in the middle of writing. I will hurry and finish it. Love ya!

He said this. . . . .
Ok. I will wait.

And I said. . . . .
Ha ha ha. I just sent it. It's super short. :) Here is one of our new pics. LOVE YOUR GUTS!! What do you need??

And so then he said. . . . .
I'm hanging in there. I won't lie though, if I knew the boys weren't looking up to me I probably would have already come home. So tell Carter that I love him so very much. I can't wait to see how big he can grow and how nice of a young man he is to his mom when I get back. Tell Mason that I am safe (especially since I got out of Phoenix where having guns pulled on us was a monthly thing) and that I am okay. I love you guys so much. I also want you to know that I came very close to calling you the other night, but I fell asleep. So just a heads up, if you get a call in the middle of the night from either a 602 or a 480 number, DON'T ANSWER IT!!!! It's just me being a baby. Well, I'll talk to ya later. Tell the boys I love them so much, and that I have felt they're prayers.

Then I cried and said to him. . . . .
You're so funny. I don't quite know what to say to that. I've thought about telling you to call me. ha ha ha. So, if you get an email from your sister saying to give her a call DON'T LISTEN!! ha ha ha Christmas will be here before we know it and we can talk like crazy. There is also a funny thing called letters and email. It's kinda like a phone call, just a little slower. We could try that in the mean time?? (And I sent him our family picture.)

SO he said to me. . . . .
I LOVE CARTERS FACE!!!!! But what is up with his hair? He needs a haircut!!!

I laughed and said. . . . .
Ha ha ha. I just can't do it. I don't want him to have long hair when he's 12, so I'll get it out of my system now! ha ha ha. The boys are sitting here and Mason says, "Hi Scott! We love you!"

What a relief to FINALLY hear from him. Love you Scott!!!
