I didn't get very many emails this week.  Last week I had tons of them.  Oh well.  I'm happy to see that YOU survived the Christofferson Family Camp Out.  Now how about the rest of the family?  Who's year was it to get hurt this year? We're not going to count baptisms before they occur.  Just saying.  Klynton will be a good Missionary.  I have no doubt of that.  The sooner that he gets out the better.  It'll be good to see him at his homecoming.  I'm guessing that he's going to Brazil or Germany.  No wait!  Boise.  Then he'll get to serve in the Mission that President and Sister Belliston live in. So here's my current plan (I'm not trunky) for college.  Get my associates done at snow and then see what happens.  Depending on what my options are I might transfer to Boise State for business school to work on an MBA in Marketing and Finance.  We'll have to see what ends up happening.  All the Missionaries out here are trying to convince me to go to BYU-I.  Not going to happen right now, but we'll see.  Associates first then next step.  But yes I'll want an institute class.  President Monson said that it should be made a priority and I've enjoyed learning about the scriptures and the gospel so I figure that I'll follow the Counsel given by the Prophet.  I'm going to apply anywhere that I can in Ephraim and the surrounding area's.  If need be I might see if I can get Troy to help me out at one of the Mavericks.  Not a guarantee, but its an option.  Thats the plan for now. I love Front Royal.  DON"T YOU DARE COME VISIT  ME WHEN YOU'RE OUT THIS WAY!!!  >:(  If you do then I'll never forgive you and it won't be a full Mission experience.  I'll get too trunky and thats not fair to my companions.  Front Royal is so Redneck that I definitely stick out.  I decided to embrace my Redneck Utah Mormon roots though so I've started wearing a hat with a Rebel Flag on it.  I'll have to show it to you when I get home. So this week we went to Baltimore for Mormon Family Night at Camden Yards.  The Orioles stomped the Royals 7-1.  It was a good game.  I watched more this year than I did last year.  We ended up spending the night in Essex Maryland because the family that brought us didn't want to drive back home that night.  It was awesome. We were able to teach our investigator Nathan this last week.  It was amazing to hear most of his concerns.  He has so many worried that the gospel can help him with and we're excited to share them with him. I know that this gospel is true and can calm a troubled heart and mind.  I know that Jesus Christ is my Savior and redeemer.  That he is the Living Son of the Living God.  I know that he takes care of us and that is something that I cherish.  I so testify in the name of Jesus Christ.  Amen.
