Missionary Letter to Dad

Dad! 

That's awesome that Stefanie's team is doing so well! haha I thought your out-of-state sport related trips had ended when I left, But I guess that's not true! And you guys get to go to Disneyland! I'm a little jealous.

Dang! I can't believe that spring sports are already starting! How's your team looking this year? Anyone looking at a chance to medal at at State? It's the same thing here. DLs have Jr comps but ZLs have other ZL comps. So it's just me. But my companion is a really obedient, hard worker too! So far its been good, more work, but I like it!

I keep in touch with Maggie, my cousin more than anyone else!!! She writes me every week, she´s getting pretty excited and nervous for her mission so I think she likes hearing from me. But besides her I just get group emails from other friends who are serving their missions too, Joe Adair, Tyler Staten, Tyler Richens, Spencer Adams, buddies from around the mission, and occasionally Michael will send me an email. That's about it. haha E mailing gets old after about week three anyway!  

Thanks for everything you do for me Dad.  Sometimes when it's hot and nobody's home and we have already burned through three hours of planned appointments in about fifteen minutes and we just wanna quit, I think about you serving your mission, I think "You gotta work as hard as Dad." and it keeps me going. Your example to me throughout my life has been like a standard that I strive for! Thanks for that! 

Enjoy California!!! Eat some good food for me! haha And watch every March Madness game for me! haha
