Missionary journal question: "what's your favorite discussion?" 
My favorite discussion is #2!  The plan of salvation.  The plan brings so much hope.  It lets us know how much our Father in Heaven loves us.  It answers the questions: Who are we?  Where did we come from?  Why are we here on Earth?  Where are we going after this life?  It just feels good to know that Heavenly Father had a plan for us before this life and that He is wiling to shar it with us now.  It's also a doctrine that other churches don't have.  It always goes over pretty smoothly.  It just makes me happy.  I mean, how could it not?  

I don't think I told you about Chris's baptism in all the excitement of transfers.  It was pretty awesome.  He kept teasing us that he was going to wait until his birthday on the 24th of December.  He followed through and was baptized on November 9th.  It was pretty much the coolest ever.  The spirit was way strong there.  He had brought his whole family.  You could tell that was a day that both him and the ward had waited for for a long time.  I know you and I waited a long time for it!  Everyone gave really good talks.  It was pretty much the perfect baptism.  We are now even talking with his parents. We did some service at their house today and then taught David- his dad- the message of the restoration.  It was pretty sweet!  We tore out some of his trees by hand... well, pick ax.  Man James, we need some help with getting some new people to teach, so pray for the hearts of the people of Seguin.

My boy is starting to come out of his shell, but he still has some work to do.  He seems happier.  He's learning social skills and teaching skills.  They for sure gave him the right comp.

How does Texas feel about Obama?  Most of them hate it.  lol.  It's so hard to know what is true from them.  Nobody ever talks about his campaign so I don't really know what he wants to do.  I hear he is raising gun taxes.  Texans love their guns.  How do you feel about guns?  Texas is not for abortion, gays, and they love guns.  They think Obama will take that.  What do you mean Michigan legalized marijuana?  To what extent?  That's crazy talk! 

I'm doing well.  I'm happy.  I'm standing so tall.  I could do better on the journal thing  Keep up the good work.  Look for missionary opportunities.  Pray for them too!
