| We had them jumping up and down and dancing just like in the book! |

| Here's
the last good morning from your son being a missionary in Texas! |
Jessica and Danny: This was the
first week since I've been in Pecos that Jessica hasn't come to church... She
was in the hospital because she just had her baby boy, Dillon! Man, some new
babies are actually kind of ugly, but Dillon is a really cute baby. Danny had
work off for Jessica, and he made it to church. Ah! Pray for a miracle that
they can finally get married!
Gilberto and Petra: I really really
thought they were coming to church this week, but alas they did not make it
out. I don't know what is going to get them over that last bump towards
baptism. They told Elder Larkin and his new companion to keep coming over and
told me I should write them a letter when I get home.
Ruben: Once again, Ruben made it out
to church. Here's the extra good news: he accepted a baptismal date for the 2nd
of May! We challenged him to be baptized again this week and he was just like,
"at some point yes I will get baptized, but I will let you guys know
when." Then Elder Larkin says, "we have been praying about you a lot
Ruben and we feel you will be ready by May 2nd. Will you prepare yourself to be
baptized on that date?" And he accepted!

| You
know when a missionary finishes his mission and goes home they say he is dead?
So, here I am, a dead missionary. |
It has been a great two years. I
wouldn't change it for anything. I wouldn't have made it shorter by a second. I
have learned so much. I have made so many mistakes, but at the same time I have
no regrets. I can't wait to see you in a couple days and spend the whole summer
back with the family! I love you mom! I love you dad! I love you Meagan! I love
you Courtney!
