Been two weeks.

I was vacationing last week and only got a couple of lines from Donald. This week was a little more, but most of it was very personal, so I am only posting part of what was emailed as well as the only picture he sent. Ron

From July 29th.

Thanks for doing that for me dad hopefully I get it this week, and its fine if it isnt a cannon im just glad that you got me a camera thats all, Im so thankful for you and mom being able to get me a camera so many people are so less fortunate its sad. Im so greatful for all the things  I have, and loving parents. Thank you for everything.

 

Are you guys staying in the Wyndham resort in vegas? I bet you guys will have so much fun, hopefully the weather is great, you will prolly be a lobster at the end of the week ahah.

 

I heard about Julie thats so sad, I hope her daughter is okay and her family.

 

Tell coach B I said hi, and tell him I said Run baby run ahahaha old times, he is a excellent coach I love him. Im sure the team will do great with him as head coach.

I have to give a talk in sacrament this comiong sunday in my ward, I have to give a 20 min talk! Its gonna be tough ahah. My assignment is Jesus Christ our perfect example. Its gonna be hard to preapre it, cause we literally have no free time to prepare one, cause we are always so busy, but im sure the lord will help and I will be guided by the spirit.

 

thanks for all you and mom do for me , I love you guys so much I pray for both of you every night, I hope you are reading your scriptures and praying often. I hope you have a great week in vegas I love you both so much.

From August 4th.

 

I'm glad you and mom are getting closer and enjoying all that you do I am so happy for you two. I love you guys so much. Its so sad to hear that about wayne and margie and the kids. Just pray and thats all that you can do. They have to figure it out on there own, it is a trial that heavenly father has put in there path, and all they can do is learn from it and so better. Tell grandma I got her package and really enjoyed it. Im sending her a letter out tomorrow. Im glad you wrote her a letter always forgive dad even if it is someone you dont like I have realized that on my mission you should always forgive everyone just like christ would. If the other person doesnt want to forgive you thats on them. If you always forgive people you will find that you are more happy.

 

Me and my companion are getting along great, I love him we are working really hard, and having fun. I dont know when i will get transferred, transfer calls happen every 6 weeks so we will see. We travel by bus and walk everywhere. Thgis week our whole mission is getting together, a all mission conference, and M Russel Ballard is speaking to us it should be reaslly good i am excited.

 

Any luck on new jobs?

 

Thank you for all you do dad I love you and mom so much. I hope you have a great week stay busy read your scriptures and pray everyday I love you.
