Letter from Mike, June 17, 2008

Dad

Right you are, transfers have come and gone, and here I am, in Aracruz, as a senior comp to Elder Gann. A colorado state quarterback who´s a champ. I´ve known him for about 5 hours now and we get along like peas and carrots.....Things were good finishing up in Nova Venecia. It always sucks saying good bye to everyone, but as we say 'Faz parte'. Nothing you can do. But this area looks good and I´m excited to work here. Jensen gets home Friday morning, and I imagine that you´ll be getting a ring in the following week from him. He really wants to meet you guys.....McDonald and I were good. But I´m already feeling better with Gann, if that says anything. I´m gonna like this guy. Big Friendly Giant haha

So, this is the true work. Bringing to pass eternal life, through obedience to the gospel and all of it´s laws and ordinances. It´s a amazing feeling. And being made senior has made me want to be better, you know? Senior at ten months in this mission is exceptional. I feel like President really put a lot of trust in me, and a lot of responsibility at that. I´m wanting to serve with an eye single to God´s glory.....

Thanks for writing me every week Dad. I really appreciate it. And Happy late Father´s Day. I hope it was a good one for you. Your oldest son is almost twenty years old. How does it feel? haha OLD

Love you Pop. Thank you for everything.
Michael
