Dear Mom and Dad,
Hey there.  What is going on?  Well everything is going good, but the only thing that could be better is the members feeding us.  That is OK--I have Top Ramen, which I don't like, but I eat it because it is cheap.  Don't worry, I'm fine.  I will answer your questions now:
1)  The work is going good, have just been trying to find people and I have learned something important.  The one thing that sets our church apart is revelation from God.  That means this work goes not where without it.
2)  Well, I'm not in the same ward anymore, but I'm trying to get the ward I am in up and going again.
3)  My A1C (diabetes 3 month average test)--just know that I was a good boy.  It was a 7.2.
4)  No, I'm good on things (I asked him if he needed anything).  I am not going to get any more shoes.  I need white shirts because all of mine are old and have sen better days.   My shoes that I have not are brand new and will last me 3 months.

This is to mom:  I'm sorry to say but mom I'm really not ready to be home and I think I will be in shock when I do get home.  And Dad, I think that will be good to do that about the fairs (helping his dad do fairs and Home and Garden shows).  I have some good ideas--my mind is in business mode, being on a mission and I think you will like them.  It is so weird how a mission is just like life.

Life is going food for me.  I am just really trying to work hard and get my comp to work along with me.  I hope that he will come along or I get a new one so I can work the way that I want too.

It sounds like Ash is doing good and loving life again.  Has she been on any dates yet, with what I would call potential investigators (mission talk)?  I can't believe she has one of those pad things--now everyone has one.  It's like, man, those were not even out when I was home.

I can't believe Brooke has been married for a year--that is just crazy, but cool all at the same time.  How is she doing and what is she up to?  I'm going to have to get her a birthday card.  I can't believe our birthdays are here again.

About when I come home--are we going to do the party thing the same day I get home?  I would like that, but I want to get released and then later in the night have it because I want to get released and go shoot a gun, like my shotgun.  If I could do that, that would be way cool.  Just something to think about.

I love you guys and hope things are going well.  I have to go.  Love you and miss you.

Love, Elder Rice
