This Church is So True!

What's happenin? Well this week was pretty nuts! But I'm glad that you had fun in park city! I am so jealous that you got to hang out with Piper! She is so darn cute! Just like her aunt Shanna! So I think you would make a good lookin scuba diver! Who knew you could look so good in goggles? So I have a confession to make! Elder Clyde's b-day was the 14th, Monday, but because of it he got like 5 different cakes, and tons of candy and I gained FIVE POUNDS this week! Holy crap I'm a fatty! But don't worry I'm going on a diet! Okay, so I hope I can clear up the whole polygamy thing for ya. Polygamy was never a belief of our church, plural marriage was practiced by the people when God saw fit and commanded them to do so. But no polygamy/ go marry as many wives as you can ... is not how it worked at all. When plural marriage was practiced, you had to be called to have more than one wife by the first presidency, and you had to be well enough off that you could take care of more than one wife. So you could say it was accepted by the church because God saw fit that we needed it. But if Pres. Monson in the next conference comes out and says that plural marriage is okay again, then I'm coming home early! ha ha ha. J/k. Well I am proud of you for getting back on a horse after the horrible accident that broke your cute toes! So if Dave and Jane ever want to take us to lunch or dinner or something then just give me their number and we will call them. Even if they don't want to, then tell them to drive Piper up here and we will hang out with her :) LOL. Park city looks so stinkin fun! If you run off and get married then I'm going to park city with your fam while you stay home with your hoser husband :) Or if you wait for me then we can go have fun together! You have an awesome family! Tell Maddie and Bailey Hi from me, I feel bad that I haven't had a chance to write them back! Okay, so I love getting packages from you, but I am gaining weight, so please hold off on the treats until I get it under control...LOL I can't gain weight because then I'll have to buy new clothes! So I have a funny story that I think you'll enjoy. We just started teaching this lady named Trena, and we are sitting on her couch one day, and we asked her if there was anything we could do for her, and she replied,"yeah, pray to get rid of our head lice!!!" Oh my goodness I have never jumped up from a couch so fast in my life! LOL it was hilarious! So that picture with the goggles is pretty good! I went and bought a tape recorder, so I'll be making you a tape now :) Hopefully I will be able to send it out next week! So make sure, even though I know you are, to save my letters and e-mails because my journal is really struggling! I have no time to write in it! Its crazy, but the first part of my mish will have to be recorded by letters. I am excited for the baptism this week, and I will let you know how it goes! Keep sending me pics of you :) So when are you coming to Spokane? Are you driving up? Let me know dates and things, not because we will be seeing each other but I am curious. I can't wait to stand in the back of that family picture and tower over everyone! How is your church journal coming? Tell me something that you have learned and if you have any more questions for me please ask! This church is so true! I love you so much!
love, Elder Ryan John
