so it was good talking to you too. so maurice was the one that killed his dad. i dont know my ring size i think thats what it was but im not sure. so missionaries go through the temple one last time on thursday then we have to spend the night at the mission home then i can get picked up friday in the morning. 10 days sounds good ill start to plan as best i can you will most likly have to fly in wednesday then drive here that day so i was hoping we could be back by the 2nd sunday in august so i could go to zachs homecoming. were working on finding people hopefully that answers all your questions.
that will be nice for when i call (I told him Tonya and Brad will be here for Christmas) i will only have to call you guys and not them. i still will have to call all my buddies haha. so ill send home thing next week as far as where we should go
your football moms dinner sounds a little weird (I told him about Witch-a-palooza)but whatever. can you believe only 2 months and its christmas :)
(I asked him if he knew that Zach’s homecoming would be the 2nd week in August.) no but we would get home the same week and the first week back would be fast sunday and the 2nd is normal so thats just a guess im not for sure
send the package to me here at this address
tell jeff sorry i heard about BYU

Hey guys. How’s everything? Well I’m all settled in New Glasgow and things are going pretty good. I was wrong about my comp being an ex-marine he still is one and might go to Iraq again in December. So the fact that it’s again means he has already been there. So we were talkin about it the other day and I had to ask him if he had ever killed a man. Guess what. He hasn’t. he said he would of but his sergt told him to stand down. Pretty crazy. He is a pretty cool kid. He is from Washington and loves cars. So that’s all I can think of to tell you. So we got double transferred in and that sucks. We both have no clue where we are going.
This past week was pretty sweet. Me and Gilmour and Wilkinson stayed up all night talking. I was so tired the next day. it was fun though.
We have zone leader council on the 29-30. I get to see Searle which will be sweet. He is a stud.
Anyway I love you all so much. You all rock. I’m so lucky to have a family like you guys. All the best.
Love Mitch

Hey family whats up? Well as you know I’m getting transferred to New Glasgow. It should be pretty good – another area that struggles to baptize but what can you do. So this past week was pretty good. We had a 3rd missionary with us for most of it so that was sweet and he was in the MTC with Benny. So it will be nice to have some change. Hard to leave Newfoundland. I spent 7 months up here on the rock.
Any who – conference was pretty sweet. I loved Elder Wirthlin’s talk and Elder Hales. They were both sweet. So mom you said they said something about energy drinks when I never heard it.
We went to a pentacostal church and holy crap we stood up for like 45 minutes. It was like stand up sit down turn around jump up and down pump your fist. I was excited cause it was going to be a break but it was a good workout. But at the end the priest was like anyone who hasn’t been saved come up now and accept Jesus as your savior and was staring at us the whole time. I was so mad. I was like ya I already have. But any way love you all. Have a great week.
Love Mitch
(He also included a little warning card that said: TOBACCO USE CAN MAKE YOU IMPOTENT. He wrote on the back of the card: #1 reason I don’t smoke haha)

Hey guys what up? Well things are going better I think its just cause I see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Well some business first – the BYU season tickets sound awesomeJ. As for the hunting trip I can’t wait. I saw some ducks the other day and I swear they were like taunting me. If I only had my gun! I was reading Dan’s letter about the trip and it made me want to go so bad. Hopefully all that stuff and school and everything will match up perfect so I can go hunting.
The BYU games are for sure – I wouldn’t miss that for a thing. GO COUGARS!
So really not much to exciting happened this past week. I did burn some Michigan stuff – that was pretty sweet. I’ll send pictures of it.
That’s pretty crazy that one of the elders in the ward his brother served up here. Small world. Well I really can’t think. Wait, this past week something pretty funny/crazy happened. The elders in St. John’s - there in the same branch as us. One of there investigators is going to prison for robbing a C-store with a meat cleaver. How freakin weird is that. I’m sure your wondering why she did it. well someone put 5 hits of extasy in something and she ended up taking it. Other than that not much new. Can you guys call Sean and tell him I say hi and get the letter that I’m going to write and get it to him. I love that kid and haven’t heard from him. I love all my boys. Seriously, they are the bomb. I miss them. I was thinkin the other day I have known Ben Gerun forever – 14 years. That’s freakin nuts. But I love the Bros and you guys. Have a great week.
Much love - Mitch
