birthday boy

hello, how is everyone doing. and its
good to hear that everyone enjoyed
conference i enjoyed conference a lot
as well we just go to the stake center
and watch it there. we get to watch all of
it.  but this last week we have been pretty
busy doing quite a bit of teaching and
gettin all of our peeps ready for babtizing. 
david greene is a stud he's getting babtized
may 2nd and he set a goal to stop chew last
sun and it has been way easy for him he
started watching conference saturday morning
and hasnt taken the tv station off byu tv
since so that is cool him and his wife just
went to the visitors center and the church
library and are gettin their geneology started
too and he wants to come out and do missionary
work with us too so he's awesome.  and the brady
boys are still doing great we took them to the
easter pageant that was neat and had a lesson
with them last night and they invited 2 of their
friends and one of their friends is gettin
babtized christian but he said once he turns
18 he's going to get babtized mormon cuz ryan
and jeffrey said only the mormon babtisms count. 
but they didnt do anything too funny this week
jeffrey just said how much he likes shakin my
hand cuz i have big strong chubby hands.  but
then there is sarah layman and she is doing good
we had a lesson at a really good members house
and sarah promised to come to church and she's
excited about getting babtized the 25 but she
has to come to church 3 times in a row or its
not going to happen so hopefully she will come. 
but we are finding new people every week and
gettin em ready for babtism so its
all good.  but for the funny story of the week. 
i was talking to some people on the sidewalk
and i invited them to the easter pageant to some
see a play about jesus christ and his erection
instead of saying ressurection so that was
hilarious the people didnt even notice but it
made me laugh a little bit. but the work is
going great i did receive the packages the easter
candy is delicious and im excited to
open my birthday package! im having my birthday
dinner and cake and stuff over at the boutchyards
theyre awesome we babtized him a few transfers
ago and he's doing great but things are all
good we are working hard it was funny my comp
is you know one of those air force kids thinks
he's tom cruise and it was funny
he cut his own hair and its way too short and
this guy we talked too was drunk and he said
my comp looked just like a little lighter
skinned obama and its true its funny i will
have to get a picture but he's a hard
worker so its been good. but the mission is
awesome still love it but hope everyone has a
good week and enjoys my birthday!
love you all
