Hi Fam!--Love, John--January 13, 2009

well this week was pretty good. its starting to get colder and starting to snow a bit. im deffinitly glad im down south this winter. apparently by thursday weve got some extremely cold weather coming but you never can tell with bees.... indiana. no one can really predict the weather here so they stick their head out of the window and get a rough idea of what to say about the day based on that, then they spin a big wheel of fortune'esqe wheel that has the temperature, another that has the general conditions, and one with percentages. after they spin these large wheels we ussually end up with a forcast like this... cloudy, with 57% chance of rain and 83% chance of snow, and 15 degrees with wind chill. then the day is accually fair no real precipitation at about 40 degrees. well enough about that.
everythings going pretty well. Charles has had some family drama come up so its really going to be kinda rough with him for a bit here. hes gotta go to court about it soon, hopefully he'll be able to get everything resolved without any jailtime or anything. otherwise hes doing alright, its been a rough week for his smoking but hes appreciated our visits.
Jim is doing ok. hopefully soon we'll be able to know exactly what to do with him. he just needs to gain a testimony ya know?
Jimmy is doing great! we'll probably get a baptisimal date with his tonight and get him taught everything else pretty quick. he is ready to go!
Chris is doing alright. he's struggling seeing the blessing from everything he's done but i think things are about to change pretty quick. hes been really good and resisting a LOT of temptation! he was given the Aaronic priesthood on sunday.
work has been work, weve got a couple new potantials from tracting this week but nothing too exciting to report on that front yet.
everythings going pretty good!
well i love ya
and ill write again next week

its kinda cool how the lord will teach us things we never knew before just within the walls of our mind let alone his holy temple. its crazy how much information we have available to us now in the dispensation of the fullness of times, and more is always surfacing. even in the 70s when they found a lot of the dead sea scrolls, and now more archiological discoveries are opening up the possibilities and giving us more and more information.
i wonder what will happen to a lot of the people who havent yet made a lot of those preparations. from my understanding the bishops storehouse wont really be for the membership when things really start getting wild, thats to help out the rest of the world. even the small calamities can, like you said, be handled better when weve followed these councils. i wonder sometimes what its going to be like trying to make a living in this crazy world... but i guess ill find out soon enough.
well i better wrap up, and ill answer your other questions in my next email i write here in like... 2 minutes. so yeah. how do you like how ive been doing this lately, its easier than having to remember what ive told who and then making you guys read eachothers email to get the whole story, how does it run on your end?
well like i said
i love ya
john
