Hey my family!!! It sounds like things are crazy busy there but you are doing good! I'm glad that the "love birds" made it home safe from their honeymoon and I hope that they are doing good! It sounds like Jessa is quite the little ball player and tell the Bishop to drink a dew or 2 before tithing settlement starts haha Missionary week sounds like it will be a good time!! And I am really jealous that you went on a 4wheeler ride haha Things here are going pretty good! My new companion is Elder Porter and he is from Texas so not very far away. He is a pretty nice kid, the best way that I can describe him is like Colby Hatton but he loves the military. So we have a little bit different personalities but I know that with the lords help we can make it through this :) I appreciate all the prayers, it keeps me from throwing rocks and from saying bad words sometimes! I hope you know that I pray for you guys too!!! This week has been pretty good, we had transfers on Wednesday and it was a little sad to say goodbye to Elder Richardson but that's what life is about enjoying the time while we've got it. I have some cool food to report!! On Saturday we had a pig roast and they roasted the whole pig all night and then had a great big party! It was awesome! I will send you some pictures next week. But with it they had "hog head cheese" which is pretty much boiled pig head mostly the brains and tongue that you eat on crackers and it wasn't to bad We were biking through the hood the other day past this kind of Ghetto park and we saw this kid that was shooting the basketball by himself so we went and asked if we could play with him and we played for a few minutes and got to talking and the next thing we knew we were teaching him the Restoration sitting there on the basketball court! It was Elder Porters first lesson and he did a good job. So dad has always been right when he has said the basketball helps bring people into the church!! I hope that you guys have a great week and that you know how much I love you guys!! Thanks for letting me be part of your family cause everyday I just realize more and more how lucky I am to have you! :) Love your redneck son Elder Dye P.S. Here are a few Christmas Ideas How about a twin tie with Richard Christensen or a wedding picture book. Or a jess for a week haha I am good with anything! Who do I have again?
