(I haven't been good at updating his blog, so I will update several entries at a time!)
This email's subject had "It's a Boy!!!" as the subject line.
Well this week has been crazy and a lot of fun, but so many miracles.  I have been trying to work hard.  This week is transfers and I'm going to be in 29 Palms for 12 more weeks and I love it out here.  I found out this week that I'm going to have my first boy, which means that I'm training, and it will be fun.  I can't wait.  President told me when he called to tell me what I would be doing, he said that if he left me out here any longer that they were going to make me in to a marine (there is a marine base in 29 Palms).  Then he said that he needs me to stay there for 12 more weeks and told me I would be training.  I can't wait!  I'm going to be a DL (District Leader) too, and the Pres likes trainers to just be a trainer and nothing else, so it will be a lot of work.  I know the Lord wants it to be this way, and that he will make it happen and I hope it works out for me.  The cool thing is that we just picked up 7 new people that all want to be baptized.  The cool thing is that I can see the hand of the Lord in this work and without him I can't do it.  This is the best time in my life.  I can't believe that is is going by so fast.  I love this work and the Gospel.  Things are going good.  I had a recent convert come out with me to a lesson and he is so good.  The Spirit was so strong and I just loved it.  He asked some good things to the person and it was at the right time and I loved it.  Then this less active called us up and said that his friend wanted to learn about the Gospel and stuff.  She is just ready for the Gospel and I just love teaching!  It is so cool.  Besides that, that is all.  Have a good week and I will talk to you later.

In another email he said:
By the way, mom and dad, I can't wait to have you guys go on a mission just so you can see what I'm talking about.  To see people change their life around and follow the commandments-it is just so cool.  This Gospel is true and that this is the only true church and I just love serving the Lord.  You're going to love it too!
