GDAY!!!


Dear mom and dad, everything here is going awesome. I couldn't be happier.  Being a missionary has really helped me to become a better person and has prepared me for everything in my life. I like being a senior companion, but elder Radovanovic is really hard.  We are too much alike so sometimes we argue, but if I'm learning anything from him, it is patience. It's amazing how beautiful Coffs Harbour really is. You guys should look it up online - its amazing. I hope you guys will be getting the memory card that I sent you.  There is some funny stuff on there. I was able to see Elder Kingi again right before he went home.  It was awesome.  He was really excited to go home but sad at the same time.  It's really wierd to say goodbye to your trainer. Man, it really has to be a relief to not have company any more. It's fun for a day, but then it just becomes a burden.  This week was kinda hard because Bree's dad told us that her legs wont be healed until september, so she wont be getting baptized on the 24th.  The branch is throwing a party for me on the 24th, so that will be fun.

I want you to know that I love you so much. I would like to share my testimony with you that I know with all my heart that this church is true and that God and Jesus Christ did indeed appear to Joseph Smith and chose him to be a prophet - to restore, not reform Jesus Christ's church again to the earth for us so that we can have the truth once more. I leave you these things in the name of Jesus Christ.  Amen.
P.S. I am going to be buying a watch with the birthday money it is a really cool one i will send you guys pictures.

LOVE YOUR SON
