December 10

Daddy! 
i love you so much and i always love you email! they are always so relevant to me or one of my investigators haha so someone is in tune with the spirit! and i know i dont have to write you but i would always much rather write the family then my friends haha i think you start to really appreciate you family more when you cant call them all the time. i mean i always appreciated you guys but its different on a mission. im sure you know what i mean! Family is so important! 
i wish everyone could understand and appreciate the restored Gospel as much as they should, it really is amazing! i had actually never thought about that with the law of chastity, so thanks for sharing! 
i hope you know how much i love you!!!! 
youre the best ever!!!! 
love

Hello beautiful child,
OK.  This week felt like a million years!!!  I am not sure why time has slowed down so much, but it has come to a complete standstill!! This week will be even worse because the school has gone on a block schedule for the week (so we get each class for 2 hours at a time - Awesome!).  Sorry that this is starting out so negative, but...
Anyhow other than that things are good.  I am teaching Mission Prep today about the restoration.  I don’t think we always recognize how much we have with the restoration.  We have just always had it so we forget how amazing it is.  Just the knowledge and understanding we have about the family is significant enough, but it is all so important.  Today in Sunday School they were talking about the Armor go God and went through each part of the armor.  I have always thought it was interesting the “loins” are “girt with truth.”  I didn’t understand that for the longest time.  I understood that the loins were a representation of the law of Chastity, but what does truth have to do with protecting us?  Now it makes sense with how the world views chastity and how much understanding the truth of things protects us.  It has really only been the last few years that it has been so significant, and yet that quote goes back to New Testament times.  Having a prophet is so important to make sure that we are on the right track and understand what the Lord would have us do.  We have everything we need to not only make it back to live with God, but to know how to find happiness in this life.  We forget that most people don’t have access to that knowledge and have to trust what others say about it even though those opinions change drastically from person to person and from one time period to the next.  Never take for granted the restored gospel!!  We are so lucky!!
Well, I will let you go.  Remember, you don’t have to write me back specifically.  I get moms emails too so you can save yourself some time when you are busy!!!
Love, 
Dad
