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!!!
