Tracy and her 7 dogs

Bald eagle

Hello. Well how is everyone doing? Well this past week was pretty sweet. We have a really cool guy we’re starting to teach. His name is JR.
We also had a road hockey tourney this weekend. My team lost in the championship. I was mad cause no one on our team was really even playing hard but whatever.
Elder Baker is a cool kid and it’s fun talkin trash that PG is better (Elder Baker is from Orem and played football for them!)
So I’m really excited for Christmas and talking to you guys and the boys. Well Tracy got her patriarchal blessing. It was so sweet. We got to go with her. She is so sweet. She is hands down the coolest person I have met out here and will meet. She’s my favorite in Atlantic Canada. Her blessing was so cool. After she went to this English store and got a ton of candy from England. It was so funny to see her going nuts over the candy.
I cleaned our fridge this past week. It was so freakin gross – I almost threw up a few times. It sucks. Ever since I left home my stuff doesn’t pick itself up like it did when I was home :) Thanks for all you guys do. Take care. Love Mitch

Pictures

We got a camera card from Mitch and it was so good to see different aspects of his life there in Canada. He sure has some beautiful scenery he gets to view every day.

well, so about Abby having a seizure. please email me when stuff like that happens. I only heard about it when Krysta said it in a letter. Well, I'm serving with Baker. he seems pretty cool. I'll talk tons of crap about football :) Maybe I'll show him the highlight video - GO VIKINGS. I'm so mad they're out of the playoffs. Next time they play I'll be there.
Well this past week we went up to Cape Breton and i got to see all the members up there I know. Well not all, but the coolest ones!This past week was district conference. We had 14 missionaries sleep in our apartment. it was crazy. We had hockey and there were a few fights between a few of the missionaries. I'm sure you'll be surprised one was me! Everyone got mad cause I was making the games so competitive but whatever. It's not fun if there is no competition.Love you all. Take care.Love Mitch

My old comp is a Marine – I told you that forever ago. He wanted to go to Iraq because his unit is going. He didn’t have to but he said it would be like me leaving the bros on their own so I understand.
Yes make a cd with the camera card if you could. And hopefully all the skin cancer is gone.
Hey so I have a question for you and dad. You can think it over and answer me next week. There is a really nice jacket that I saw that I like. It’s like $165 plus tax. I was wondering if I could get it. if not I have a jacket so don’t worry if the answer is no. just let me know either way. Thanks sooooooooooooooo much for everything you do. Take care and thanks sooooooo much for your love and support.Mitch

I’m up in Sydney today right by Glace Bay on exchanges and we are emailing early. Things this past week were pretty good, not to much exciting happened – same old stuff. I’m alive and kickin. It snowed this past week.

Hey whats up. How are you doing. Things up here are going pretty good. Not too much to complain about. The pictures just put them on the computer and yes send it back. if you could send it out full with pictures of the family so I remember what you all look like. That would be great. If not its not a big deal. Well we had zone leader council and I got to see Elder Searle again. That was sweet. There are a few other zone leaders who are cool so that was nice.
I love you so much. Take care. Love you.

Hey guys how’s everything. Well New Glasgow is still going good. Tracy is so sweet. She makes this area the greatest. She is so funny. When we go over she turns on the radioJ.
Well this past week not much happened. We had zone conference. It was OK. It was on the area book. It was kinda boring. It was more for the new missionaries. I guess it’s always good to refresh the skills. We drive down to Halifax tomorrow. That will be sweet. Me and Searle are going to visit Maurice. It will be really cool to see him again. I’m excited for the food. It’s always so good. It’s the best home cookin we get out here. Well not much to tell you all but I love you guys so much. Your all so great.
Love Mitch

Hello. Well Tracy rocks. She is so cool. I bet that was a pretty big surprise. We were sitting at her house & I said it half joking half serious that she should call you & she didJ. It was good to talk to you (Mom and Brie). I wanted to talk to everyone but I couldn’t run up her bill. It was kinda sad when my comp called & was talking to his mom. He found out she had blood clots in her lungs – it sucked.
So Tracy is so funny though. She would fit in perfect with the fam. She is so sarcastic. She has such a rock solid testimony too. It’s so cool to see it. She is sweet.
Well this last week we helped build a shed for a member & went out to this members farm. Tracy took us. See she is the bomb & her son Nathan is so funny too. He is a stud. Anyway on the way back we took out a raccoon. She swerved out of the way & ended up swerving right into it haha. It was so funny. Then 5 minutes later we hit one that had already got ran over. It was so freakin funny.
I talked to Elder Searle today & me & him are going to go see Maurice when we go to zone leader council. It will be good & fun to see Searle again. Most of the zone leaders are letter of the law.
Well I love you all this much (he drew a picture of the world with him at the top and his arms around the whole thing!)
Have a good week.
Love Mitch
