Chance's Email 4/20/2009

fam,
i likey da ledders! thanks fam for some great letters this week. yes the story is true about the lump......yes..... just a heads up, i mailed mom a birfday slash mother's day package today so watch out for that. i am super excited for you to get it, i hope you love it.
i am so excited that you guys are reading that book. it's so amazing and i wanted to share it with the world! it's like my "wordly" book of mormon ha. but ya i remember loving it but i've forgotten a lot of it so keep emailing me quotes and tips. i'm going to try the things you told me on my companion and we'll see what happens. it looks like we are going to have a baptism this week! yeppers. his name is miguel and his sister's name is andrea and they are both getting baptized but andrea wants to wait one more week. we are gonna try to get them both this week but we will see how it goes.
so a little laughter, my companion and i have bunk beds and i'm on the bottom and my companion on the top. well my companion, like me, was real skinny when he began his mission and now really not skinny ha ha. each night i get a good laugh as i watch him struggle to get up into his bed by bouncing on my mattress.
this saturday we were fasting and i specifically fasted to have the spirit more strongly so that i could be a stronger instrument in the Lord's hands. as we left the apartment we walked a little ways and then i saw an older guy on a bench outside of his house with his pet chicken and i decided to talk to him. he ended up letting us in and we committed him to go to church the next day. i was really happy to have followed that prompting and talk to him. as we went to walk with him to church yesterday, we knocked on his door and as he opened it there was a lot of smoke and he said he couldn't cause he was cooking lunch. he lives in like a garage thing and it was full of smoke. he was practically having a barbecue in his house ha ha. i wanted to put him on a guilt trip but it was too funny and bizzarre that i couldn't. but we have an appointment with him today so we will see how that goes.
well i love you guys so much, thanks for the awesome letters, prayers, and support. you are my fuel. tear it up this week and don't let satan win.
