March 5, 2013 - Letter to Mom

Hey Mom!  

Yeah, it is very crazy that I have already been out here for so long!  No matter what happens I am still always excited to be learning and growing each day....life happens, and the beat goes on.  Speaking of which....I GET A NEW COMPANION FINALLY!!  I haven't met him yet....but I hear he is from New York...and apparently he is Sri Lankan?  His name is Elder Nucamarra I think...I am not positive about the name yet.  But I hear he is really cool.  Hayden would probably think that is funny...because the Sri Lankan people are like Muslims hahaha...and we all know what she thinks about that!  But yeah, I will be meeting him tomorrow morning probably.  I am also staying in my area.  The Rockcliff area in Ogden.  Right now we just started teaching this young couple...the wife got baptized 4 years ago but went through a bad divorce and wants to get back to church...she is very less active.  but she is awesome...and her husband wants to start taking the discussions from us.  The cool thing is that she is a Dental hygeinest and so she gave me free bleach for my teeth!!!!  She said she can keep hooking me up!  I am so excited about that :)  Also we met a guy who is a chiropractor the other day and now he is gonna give us free adjustments today in a few hours!!  So many blessings!  I love it haha  I have not gotten my package from the Hathcocks yet...but I do need to get more stamps though.  I sent Rachel her letter a few days ago so she should have it by now.  What happens is when transfers come around...the mission office holds all mail until they are over...that way letters dont get sent to the wrong addresses etc.....Yeah, don't worry about those talks, I am getting better and better.  But I don't write them so I can't send them to you.  I just study all week for my topic...write a few bullet points in case I get lost up there, and all the rest is by the spirit.  It works really well!  Okay...my favorite scripture is......2 Nephi 6:17-18.  "But thus saith the Lord: Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered; for the Mighty God shall deliver his covenant people.  For thus saith the Lord:  I will contend with them that contendeth with thee."  " And I will feed them that oppress thee, with their own flesh; and they shall be drunken with their own blood as with sweet wine; and all flesh shall know that I the Lord am thy Savior and thy Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob."  It's a pretty awesome scripture!  

Yeah...some of the jello is okay, but I just can't stand the texture.  It is a death trap.  Grandma Rasmussen sends me the funniest little letters everyday of little things that happen in her life!  They always make me laugh out loud.  I have a letter written for her but I just need to send that today.  Also, what is Mackenzie's MTC address?  And yeah, has Hayden gotten the addresses of everyone I asked for yet?  And yeah the Titanic CD would be very wonderful.  I wanna start writing some of the Priests in our ward...and get them ready for a mission.  I need to be a better example to them!  So can you give me all their addresses too?  

As far as turning down UCR...none of the elders I have told can believe that she is doing that...but I said that she has fasted and prayed about it and so I am supporting her 100 percent!  I am excited for Hayden...it sounds like she is really doing awesome things with her life.  I cant wait to hear how she does over the next few years with college and all.  UCSD was my other dream school!!  She is soo lucky.  I am sure that SDSU will pick her up very soon once they see how freakin awesome she is!  So that is super cool for her!  As for Hudson...he sounds like he is doing great.  Dylan Vrooman was very good at water polo.  That will be really good for Hudson!  That sounds very fun.  I wish I stuck with sports like Hayden and Hudson are.  He is gonna get a scholarship too!!  
   
I noticed all the workout stuff you must've gotten from work...and you sent it to me!!  Are you bailing out of your commitment to me?????  hahaha jk.  I am really glad you sent me those...they help out with P90X a bunch.  The protein would be awesome.  Just don't forget the creatine and carbo gain as well.  Get it from that good shop too...Dad will know what I am talking about!   Well I love you very very much and I can't wait to hear from you again next week.  Sorry but I have to hurry up and finish because we have a chiropractors appt in a little and I still have to write everyone else back !   I love you guys......Remember when I used to do that Shantae...my twist jump??  AHhaha just remembered that for some reason.  Well I love you !

 Love, Elder Kelley.
