July 16th, 2012 Ang & Dal

Dallina,

      I can't believe I got to see your beautiful face yesterday!!! I felt like I had 100 things to ask you or tell you and then I drew a blank when I heard your voice. Then I turned into a blubbering idiot. I do miss you a lot, but I was telling Mom that when I get emotional it's because you look so happy and we aren't really all that involved in this small portion of your life and it's weird not to be directly influencing and bossing you around and getting feed back. You're like, a man now. Seems like it was just yesterday you were the chubby cheeked punky with poopy pants I got to wipe:):):) 
     Anyway, I was so impressed by your aura. You didn't say much, but I think that's a good thing...Bill says that it's because you are in the right place within your calling if it's hard to talk to those at home because it means you are trying to stay focused on what you have at hand and not get homesick etc...so, good work. How is the new place? Was everyone glad to see you back? Can't wait to read your update.
      Things are going going going around here...had a garage sale, made 70$. Cade is so funny. I can hear him upstairs right now belly laughing at  Nick Jr. Gearing up to go out to UT for like a month to re-do a bunch of crap in my condo and sell that bane of my existence. I wish Beau could come down and help me. I have to give a talk next week on " Feed My Sheep" so that should be awwwwwesome. Can't wait. Anyway, I love you. 
          Stay positive, prayerful and happy. Happiness is contagious. Spread it like a plague. 

                                                                        Ang

Deep Thought:

" Consider the daffodil. And while you're doing that, I'll be over here looking through all your stuff."

Ang, 

Oh man I am so glad you told me what Bill said. I felt...handicapped yesterday. 

I didn't know what to say. All the amazing experiences would take novels to explain. 

Joseph Smith said, 'You could see more in five minutes looking into the heavens 

than you could read about and research on Earth for five years.'

 That is basically how I felt. Only the spirit  could explain my thoughts and feelings. 

It was so good to see you guys though. Everyone is glad to have me back in Iowa City.

 It is nice. 

The ward really trusts me. 

The feed my sheep talk will be awesome! Sheep are fed by doctrine! POWER CHAPTER: 2nd nephi 31.

I love you
