Remember Who You Are...

Hey dad I listened to a man talk who was the 2 time all american reciever from byu a while back and his son came in who is #85 on byu for football right now and they talked together. the mans first pass he ever caught was a td and he was in the news, and in the papers and signing autographs, then he talked about a lesson that he taught to a family on his mission and the feeling that he had. he said if he had to pick between the 2 experiences, he would have chose to be in a little house in a different country teaching that lesson. He said later that he watched his son come down a ramp in a byu cougars jersey following his footsteps in the stadium, he said the feeling he had as he watched that was unbeatable to any father. but he said he also saw that same son waking down a ramp in an airport 2 years ealier and he has never been more proud of anyone else in his life. he said that if he had to pick one of them, he would have picked his son returning honorable from a mission. go to alma 20:23. this is where ammon is going to free his brothers and the king of the lamanites stops then, and tells his son to kill ammon and his son says no, so the king is going to kill his own son and ammon steps in and smites him to the ground, this is what the king says while ammon has his sward to his neck, he says he will give up half of his kingdom if ammon will spare his life. later on aaron teaches this king the gospel and in alma 22:15 this is what the king says he will give just for a testimony of the gospel. the gospel has a more powerful effect on the hearts of the children of men than does the sword. I cant wait untill i get home and have the oppurtunity to speak with you in church dad. i couldnt have asked for a better father. even though i probably wont be walking out onto a football field when i am home, i know that i have done everything in my power to make you proud of me. have a great week.

Elder Cache Summers

Hey momma!!, i have seen it so many times that people are afraid of what their family would think and just scared, but once they get baptized, all of those doubts and fears go away, I think my friend will be sealed sometime in the next 3 or 4 weeks, i need to find out for sure, but it is going to be freaking legit!! i dont have time once again or ii would expound some crazyness up in here but i guess we will just have to wait till i get home before i start blowing peoples minds with doctrine!! keep reading and praying! i love you! "Remember who you are" I loved when you said that to me, thank you mom!

I Have Made One Eternal Family......

Man i cant believe that fischer is that old, your guys letter brought me to tears when i read that fish is using the priesthood. it truly is the power of god. I am glad that you are selling the boat, we have used too many blessings on that :) I will miss it to but there is always bristol bay that we can go to.. I am called to be a trainer again and am learning how to speak spanish. i really feel like i have  an understanding of this great gospel and that i can use the scriptures well, i am working on a book of mormon that i want you to read with all my hidden treasures of great knowledge. yesterday we had dinner with a family and they invited 2 non members. i felt like we needed to talk about testimonies so i bore mine on the importance and power of a testimony and one of them is going to talk to his parents because he want to be baptized and the other girl said that she has wanted to be baptized for a long time now. the power in members inviting their friends is amazing. being a good example is the most important thing that we can do outside of our homes.. anyways have a great week! i love you dad.

Hey momma!! thank you for always getting me a letter. so tranfers were last week and nothing really big happened to me. president told me that i am one of the best missionaries that he has right now. he said that ever since the day i got here he hasnt lost sleep over me, worried aobut me or wondered how he could help me. he said that i am obedient and a blessing in his life and he thanked me. because of that i get to take steve through the temple as his escort and then get to see him and his wife get sealed. i have made one eternal family since i have been here! this work is so awesome mom!! My new comp is from oklahomo and is a spanish elder. president wants me to teach him how to baptize people and him to teach me how to speak spanish!! so i could be reassigned after all, i am picking it up really really fast. anyways all is well here, we are coming up on a few more baptisms that are well needed. i love this gospel and i will never stop being a missionary. I love you momma!! have a great week!! I LOVE YOU!! 

Time Is Sailing By....

Hey momma!! That is pretty freakin cool. I knew that the lord would provide a way for those books to find there way for you. just like the stripling warriors, 'their mothers taught them not to fear for the lord would provide for them. You have taught me that everything will run its coarse and plus those books are material things. but wow that is so cool I dont have much time today mom but i love you!! have a great week, i will write you more next week, i promise! I love you!! Bye momma!!

Hey dad my companion thought that he broke his arm so most of the day was spent in the hospital so i cant write very much, but his arm is fine. i called him a panzy.. one of my ward mission leaders is coming up in 2 weeks hopefully the fishing is better. time is sailing by faster than i thought. I cannot believe that i am 1/4 of the way done. it makes me want to cry because i never want it to end. I prayed today that i could be a blessing in somebodies life and while we were shopping a lady pulled us in her line and paid for all of our food! she will be so blessed as i keep her in my prayers and as she goes through her life. It was great. i love you dad! have a great week! PEACE!!

Be Exactly Obedient.....

Hey momma!! I love you! i hope that you never forget that. :) so thank you for the quote, if nothing else, i have never been more humble in my life. humility is the key to success. as we are more humble to the lord than he pours out blessings on us. and the best blessing other than the holy ghost is knowledge. the apostles do know their stuff  i want to throw some numbers at you :) Steven R Covey said that if you read for 20 minutes a day, than you will achieve exaltation. so lets do a little math on this. there are 10080 minutes in a week, and if you read 20 minutes a day that is 140 minutes. that means the lord is only asking us to give him 1.38% of our lives to the lord. and the promise of exaltation is 100% of everything that the lord has. WOW!!!!! That shows how much the lord really loves us, he wants 1.38% of our lives and that is all he wants. so on a mission we give him 100% of our time for 2 years. so if you do the math on that, if you study the scriptues or give 20 minutes to the lord every day for 80 years, you would be at 55% of what we devote to the lord. so it will take close to 160 years to give as much time to the lord as faithful obedient missionaries do. Here is one of my favorite qoutes. " Obedience brings blessings, exact obedience brings miracle." that was said by our mission president at the beginning of my mission 6 months ago. And i promise that that is true because i have done it and i have seen how it works. as i have been exactly obedient to the lord, he has blessed me with helping others lives. If you want a miracle be exactly obedient to everything that the lord asks of us. i love you momma!!! :) 

Hey dad that is great news about the boat selling, i had a feeling everytime that i prayed that you guys would do good so it doesnt surprise me that you caught some fish. It has been at least in the 90's here forever!! it is really hot but i think my body is getting used to it a little bit. i would give anything in the world to have a summer next year of 52 degrees! i really need that right now. i am tanned and i am not sure if i like that... i love you dad and im glad that you enjoyed the corn. i knew that you would. Have a great week!

Lost Books.....

Hey mom thank you for the email!!  satan has such a strong hold on this state so the more possitive remarks and encouragement we can get form awesome people like you the better :) thank you so much momma!! :) I wish i was there to help dad but i know that he will be led to the fish by the power of prayer and by the holy ghost.  i started to be Joe’s friend because he was so much more rightous than i was and i wanted to be more like him, as i got to know him, the better man i became. i am not sure if he knows that or comprehends that. but in a way he saved me from falling into a path that was bad. i just got caught it before i fell. joe is more important to me than he knows, let him know that, that will help him. I love you mom!! you are awesome! i have made friends with a new investigator that will probably last forever also, i love meeting and helping people!! keep being awesome mom and hayden is a complete goof! Your present was a book for you and me signed by elder oaks. but i gave it to someone to hand deliver it to you and say happy birthday, but the bag it was in on the plane up there got ripped in half and the books are lost. :( I am so sorry, but if we pray that they will get to you than they might find their way home to you. keep that in your prayers, the relative feels horrible about it. anyways i love you mom and i will write you next week!! i love you!!  

Hey dad! so you got a little taste of fishing for a month in bristol bay!! staying on th boat for a while, fishman probably should be in football anyways, that is great, i have been praying for you everynight that you will be able to find that fish and it is great that the prayers are being answered. I am also praying that the boat will sell,. I wish i could come and help you get more fish and give you a little break. i think if i was there you might be able to sleep a little bit and we could still be fishing. but ya anyways the misson is still going great, i have really gained an uderstanding the book of mormon and i am starting to be a very bold missionary. one of the apostles said that if we give 20 minutes to the lord each day, either reading, praying, or service than we will be saved and have everlasting life. so if you do the math there are 10080 minutes in a week, and 20 minutes a day would be 140 minutes per week, that is only 1.3% of our week we are asked to give to the lord. How hard is it to give the lord 1 percent of your life. we have all these distractions that stop us from doing this.  but if you think about this, if we give the lord 1.3 percent of our life here on earth, than the lords promises us 100 percent of his power and his kingdom. that is how much the lord loves us and how easy he has made it for us to live with him. I love you dad, give the lord 20 minutes so he can give you everything that he has. I love you dad, tell gpa hi, love you have a great week and catch the poop out of those fish. Ill talk to you later! peace!  

Mission miracle about the books: 
I received a call from someone in Utah tonight who was looking for Cache.  I said I was his Mom and could I help?  He told me his wife works for Delta Airlines there in SLC and she noticed the lost and found had a couple of books by Dallin H Oaks, so she took them hoping to find thier owner since they were signed by Elder Oaks.  Cache had written our home phone number in one of them:)  The gentleman is a temple worker at the Draper Temple (Cache's temple)  I told him Cache was serving there and he has invited Cache to come find him next time he is in the temple.  Another cool thing was that this gentleman was looking for someone who had helped him while he was fishing in Alaska last year.  They had searched and searched for some way to contact this lady to say thank you....she just happens to be in my old ward!!  I hooked him up with address and phone number.  He said we had a double blessing tonight and he was so thankful his wife let the spirit touch her and pick up those books:)  Awesome!!!  Can't wait to tell Cache his prayers were answered!!!

I Miss Near Death Experiences......

Hey momma!!! but ya how was your week momma? and happy late birthday, so I learned how to play nearer my god to thee and hymn 26 and can you feel the love tonight on the piano!! haha i am getting pretty good, and i learned how to read it myself by playing it an dhearing if it sounded right than memorizing it!! it was pretty cool! so ya umm, the heat is making me have some zits again because i am always sweating here. it was over 100 almost every day this last week!! i am trying to send you some heat but i dont think it is working, utah is burning to the ground in a ball of burning waistland. haha jk but it is burning pretty good. I love you momma!! you are amazing!! have a great week!! can you believe that i have almost been gone for 6 months? o and i lost 20 pounds since i have been here! :) I love you!! bye momma!! :) 

Hey dad!! it sounds like you had some serious blessings going for you this last week, sorry about the alternator. those can be expensive. I pray every night that you and fish will have he strength and the faith to catch the fish. i ask heavenly father that he will guide you to fish and that the fish will be led into your nets, just get them out there and than let the lord direct the fish to the nets. i really wish that i could be with you to show you how to fish and be with you guys as you try to die! i miss near death experiences. They are really fun  My comp got sick this week and i had to spend 2 days stuck in the stupid house! but i got a lot of reading and studying done, and i also went up to the piano and taught myself how to read music so i can now play 3 songs on the piano, if i knew how easy it was to learn the piano than i would have a long time ago. so ya sorry that this is gonna be short,. and all missions are hard no matter where you go. they are all challenging in their own special ways. so thank you guys for the salmon and halibut, we are eating some toninght. It actually went to our neighbors so they just brought it over to us, haha i told him if he knew what it was than he would have just kept it. and he agreed, so ya good luck with fishing, the lord will provide, i love you dad, ill talk to you later! Peace!
