hello mom! Happy birthday in two days for me and 3 for you! so your going to dillons beach for your b-day hu? sounds like fun! thats always a fun place. once again happy birthday and i hope you have a great time. I hope the package i sent gets there sooner or later. it should be arriving eventually for you. and it has a cd with all my pictures i have taken since leaving for here up until about a month ago. also i wanted to let you know i got the first package with the powder in it. thank you, i very much appreciate it. i now have the family pictures in my scriptures to show people. the other packages should be arriving soon also. Im sorry i'm asking for you to send alot of stuff but one thing that would be very valuable for me would be pictures. Pictures that relate to the restoration and the plan of salvation. elder griffin's mom sent him some pictures a while back and they have been serving us well but we won't be together forever so I'd like to get some of my own. He says they're called the gospel art pictures?they're about the size of a regular line paper sheet and im not sure where she got them. maybe at a place like desseret book? if you wanted to just ask her yourself her name is Diane her email is diane.h.griffin@gmail.com. but ya the people we teach here i think benifit alot from visual aid. so if you could send me some pictures that would be awesome. And if they're laminated that would be nice seeing as they wouldn't last a week here if not laminated haha.
What might help you know what pictures might be good would be to go through lessons one and two of preach my gospel and just see what pictures might correlate to the lessons. That would be very useful and i would appreciate it. THANK YOU!well unfortunately we haven't seen conference yet. we wait two weeks after its over so hopefully next week it will arrive here on dvd. but i am looking forward to it! yep the baptism went well last saturday and everyone was confirmed Sunday. 3 people. a mom and two kids. what's cool is, her children speak chinese better because their dad is chinese and she is indonesian so on sunday we just had new chinese speaking elders arrive in kuching so they got to confirm them in chinese. and whats even better, their father who doesn't speak hardly any malay or english was there to see the baptism and then to hear the confirmation in chinese so he could understand. It was all really a happy experience. all went very well. thanks for the childrens toys. i always love giving little kids things here. i usually carry around candy to settle them down when they're being loud. but now they all know i carry around candy so they always come asking now haha. o well.well all is well, elder griffin and i are having a fun time here. im healthy and the work is moving along. yesterday we rode our bikes to our farthest area ( about 25 miles easy) and the whole way it was a downpore haha. it was alot of fun. o ya I didnt tell you, that about 3 weeks ago I got contact lenses. I couldn't wear my glasses since arriving in singapore because they just fogged up and slid off my nose. So i've been wearing contacts for a little while now and they are pretty sweet. I enjoy them. well I hope you're all doing well and having a wonderful easter! i hope you know mom if i was home i would still expect an easter basket even though I'm older! haha. ok well have a good time at dillon beach! love you all!
