January 25 E-mail

Whats happening?!?! My goodness another eye surgery eh? i do like the massage table purchase though.. That might come in handy! That sucks though.. Hang in there dad. After much tribulation comes the blessings! :D Isn't it nice to have the priesthood available though? It is a wonderful thing! Mom i would love for you to buy me a plane ticket so i can go spend a week with my fam and my future wife in Cancun! lol... That seems like a pretty good birthday present to me :D So we had some really awesome things happen this week! So Saturday night we were on the phone with Laura Bassett to see if we could come over and have a lesson.. And we were chatting a little bit and in the background we heard Bruce out of nowhere say "Hey ask them when we can get baptized so we can get this over with" LOL.. so she took him as serious cause she figured that isn't a subject that you don't take seriously.. And so she said Bruce wants to know.. and then asked us.. well we said how about tomorrow! lol... But then we said well what about the 13th of February? and she said well that sounds pretty good but we will have to think about it and get back to you on that.. Elder Brady's eyes were huge it was awesome lol.. So then we told them we would come over Sunday instead cause they were having movie night.. cause the kids were at their dads.. So after church we find out that Bruce announced in High Priest group that his family was getting baptized on the 13th! So come to find out Laura was ll freaked out and Bruce is way excited.. so we went over to their house and made them lunch :D We made french toast.. And then on of Bruce's friend came over and they went out into the field to shoot their pistols.. And so we sat down with Laura and read over alma 32 and talked her through her concerns and now she is way excited to get baptized too! And its freaking awesome! A whole family! I cant tell you what though! They are going to need our prayers more now than they ever did! We haven't had a chance to talk to the kids yet but I'm sure they will be way excited.. We also are having a baptism this week for the 2 little girls.. they are very excited and their mom, due to the fact that she is a little bit of a drama queen, was wanting to postpone the baptism for even longer.. she postponed it last year and then she postponed it for the 9th of this month.. and she wanted to postpone it again for dumb reasons.. And we were able to go over to their house last night and talk to her and we just told her that really these girls are so excited to get baptized that they would be so devastated if they had to wait even longer.. plus i don't want to have to be the one to tell them why when there is no reason why.. So she came around and said ok then lets just do it on Saturday! sweet! so its on like donkey kong! And we are excited.. These girls have been wanting to get baptized forever! So things are just going very well right now! So mom i got what we call my "trunky papers" just all the stuff i need to plan for basically.. Well i need to know the name and address of my stake pres.. because it has changed obviously but that is pretty much all i need to know so that i can turn in the paper that i need to.. so if you could get me that info for next Monday i would appreciate it! so mom other websites you can try for the books would be half.com samweller.com abebooks.com .... i don't know what they will have but at least you can check it out.. Well rents.. I love ya! take care of yourselves! Good luck with surgery! I will be praying for ya dad! I love you guys! take care!
