Letter Dec, 5th

This is a part of Tyson's letter, His letters are really really long!



Hey there Fam!
Well today is December 5th! I got your packages! The wrapped packages are going under the tree at the Z.L house but I opened the cards. I cried like a little girl ha ha! I also opened the one on top, It was the shirt you sent me! that's freakin awesome! who's idea was that? I cried so hard. It was great! thank you so much! Did everyone get one? and a copy of the poem maybe? I also opened the one from Granny and I could see Grandma's, Man they must have grandma senses! I needed a tie tac and a pillowcase so so bad, I haven't had either one of those my entire mission! Man you sent a lot of stuff, I'm spoiled rotten ha ha! Thanks guys I really liked it a lot. I'm really missing you guys during the Holidays. but maybe by the time you get this It'll be time to call. I hear gas prices are way low! GO GET MY TRUCK BACK, ha ha. So mom are you a computer nerd now? what is a blog exactly? It sounds pretty cool you need to fill me in. I have restarted the B.o.M. this time through I am highlighting every time the Savior is referenced and all of his attributes and Principles. President Dowdle gave us a paperback copy and asked us to do it, it's gonna be so good. Look on page 114 of Preach my gospel under the mission pres part, that's what he's having us do, I'm excited! the Book of Mormon is great. Elder Wells said his mom was on my blog , she saw a video with him on it. E. Wells is a stud! me and him get along great! He's a funny dude we got to burn a tie together the other night it was our 6 month mark! 6 months, a tie, 12 months, a shirt, 18 months, a pair of pants, 2 years, Everything, ha ha. Crazy mission traditions eh? ha ha. I hope I get to serve with Elder Wells me and him would do work! ha This whole Island would be baptised! I just read Lost for Christmas, It was so Good! did you read it before you sent it? man I cried like a little girl again, man the holidays are killin me. But things are good. They'll only get better, the work is going to pick up big time after this transfer and things will be great! tell everyone I said hi! I love you guys, miss you, Peace!
Love
Elder Peterson

Tyson's letter Nov 29th

Tyson's letters are REALLY long he has no e-mail and can only mail them when he goes to the main Island so I don't have the strength to type all of them so I'll just hit the highlights!!

Hey Mom and Dad,

Yesterday was Thanksgiving and the Zone Leaders brought back food from Guam and sister Warner made a HUGE! meal, I loved it. man I missed the fam but the food was good. I am going back in for zone conference with the Dowdles (his mission Pres.)and I'll send this then. Harry, I don't want to hear how hot it is in the house, ha ha, Man, I am dying here! i want to do a naked snow angel so bad!, I want snow. You asked about my ties, well I don't have many, like four, silk ones don't work well here, I am gonna send you one that Elder Evans of the seventy gave me,He loves me ha, ha. My comp is still the native guy. He will probably be done in a few weeks, I'm trying to get him ready to leave for the MTC. Can you get me the address for Kellin's mission home and Justin's address? I'm not doing that good keeping a journal, so keep my letters k? I write everything in them that i would in my journal.
I have a talk I want you to check out it's by H. David Burton the Bishop guy. (I think that's his name Ha), I think you'd love it I sure did. He talked in a CES fireside, it was so good. Oh, ask Sheena if she is still in Logan cuz the Logan institute sang at it and she wasn't in it, neither was Hilary, those dirtbags ha ha. They're probably married off and out of the institute scene by now. But check it out, It was great. Well gang it's now Dec 1st and I better go I have a boat to catch. I love you guys i hope things are good send my love to the family. i miss ya'll, only one more thanksgiving to go! I'm getting ya'll some Christmas presents today! sweet Eh? love ya Peace!
