Chance's Email 9/14/2008

hey fam!
i am so sorry i am short on time again today! i am trying to respond to all your questions and comments but there is only so much i can do with the time i have. sorry it was so short last week and probably short this week too. dad sorry i didn't respond to lots of your feedback and advice. dad, thanks for the awesome letter you sent me last week it really inspired me and i loved what you said about our big brother Jesus and his atonement and becoming friends with him. thanks a lot. and thanks for the sports updates. wow, i can't believe how great the cougs are doin!

holy cow the package was amazing and im so glad i got it! the thing i loved the most is probably my fruity pebbles... as fred would say " yabadabadoo" my sense of humor is getting cheesier by the month sorry. but i loved them and also i loved the reeses and just getting american candy. i am craving a little bit of twizzlers and sweedish fish for some ideas for the next package but don't feel like you have to send me one every month cause i know they are expensive. as for the peanut butter i gave some of it to one of my first converts and her family. the first baptism i did if you remember. they loved it! thought youd like to hear that. oh yeah, and this convert.. elizabeth, she has been called as the second counselor in the primary and is so strong! she is such an awesome person.

so i saw taylor and he is in my zone! i believe there are like 8 zones and he happened to be in mine! i see him every week and he is being a stud. he has a tough area and is opening it and beginnig from 0 so its been tough but he is a stud. i am soooooooooooo glad you got my memory card ok. the other one works just fine so ill try to do more videos for you guys. im glad you liked my letter marcus i am so tight on time and i wish i could write you all every week personally but right now its hard. london im gonna do everything in my power to send you a letter next week. i need the address to send it to so if you could send that to me that would be great. marcus i'll try to find you a pajama to send to you sometime but the packages are outrageous to send from here so i don't know what i'll do but i wanna buy one for ya. they are nice and warm.

i sure hope we get mccain as the next pres...all i have heard is obama obama here. you wouldn't believe how much people here read about the states. they know more about u.s. politics than i do. im so glad your young single adult class is awesome! i really knew it would be.
i'm getting fat believe it or not. i really don't believe you guys can imagine me fat but ive got a little gut funny huh? london thats so killer about your day you had! i remember when dad and i rented scooters and toured thailand. it was awesome.

i talked to my pres about some problems i had in my weekly letter and when we had a meeting he called me personally into his office and talked to me. he is so awesome for doing that and he helped me so much. he called my comp in also and we had a talk with the three of us and it was what i needed. he is such a stud and i hope to have our relationship continue to grow.

marcus advice on preach my gospel. there is only so much you can do with it at home so just get acquianted with it and read it the whole way through and get to know the doctrine. study the book of mormon a lot and get to understand the principles of the gospel. but most importantly gain a strong testimony . the best way to do that is by bearing it. as for my spanish i am understanding so much more. not 100 percent yet but i understand a ton and i feel like i can communicate with the people. i really have been so blessed and i don't give thanks to the Lord enough. something i learned is so many times we ask the Lord for things for so long and when we finally get them we are so happy and don't give thanks. we need to be like the 1 leper and always give thanks for what we have. marcus your talk was awesome i loved reading it along with the articles dad gave me! i loved remembering el pozo and how many blessings we truly have. we are so blessed and i am so thankful for you guys.we had a baptism yesterday that was just awesome. i am out of time but ill tell you about it next week. it was a great experience. send my love to everyone. i love you all!
