One of my all time favorite self-help books is "Richest Man in Babylon" by George S. Clason. It is written in parable style, but teaches 8 very important money principles, which are saving, watch your spending habits, investing, protect your money, owning your own home, work, education, and getting out of debt. Although it's my favorite, it is the second financial book I recommend to people.
The first book I recommend is "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" by Robert Kiyosaki. This one helped straighten out some of the faulty thinking about money I had picked up along the way. Once my thinking was straight I could get the messages of the "Richest Man in Babylon" and start applying them.

Missionary Mail
MOM: thanks for sharing that with me. its just what i needed to hear. this week was kinda rough. i started really struggling with motivation by the end. but it seems God has a way of figuring out how to pull me out. i just have to ask.
im glad you were able to get out of your funk and move to a new level. ive looked at the addiction recovery course and it really is an amazing program.
sounds like the activity went well. though i must say that theres a lot of members in this church who have hard times commiting to anything and keeping their commitments.... kind of an interesting peoblem for Gods COVENANT people to have. ohh well. all i can do is start by changing myself and moving from there.
love ya
john
DAD: thanks for the advice. hopefully we'll be able to help him out. i was in bloomington yesterday on exchanges, but i guess they had a really sweet conversation that kinda followed the same pattern last night!
its wierd to think youre almost done with your mba. i remember when you started that quest. its way wierd to think that in not too long im going to start getting the paperwork for my ride home from the mission office (we call em pre-trunks (then your flight info is called the trunky papers)). i try not to think about it a lot. and i succeed a lot. its fun to be here (most of the time) and im trying to keep a proper perspective. its kinda a day at a time lifestyle. its going to be wierd when all that changes... meh, i dont have to worry about that now though. thanks for the encouragement
love ya
john
hey guys.
this week was alright. like i told mom it got rocky near the end but im doin alright now. im still pretty stoked about last monday that was sweet. i kinda lost my perspective for a few days and it wasnt quite as enjoyable but im working on it. its crazy how being a district leader ill end up having things come out of my mouth at district meeting that really are meant to help me.
well yesterday i was on exchanges in bloomington with the zoneleader. hes one of the guys that came out the same time as i did. hes a really solid missionary it was good to work with him for the day. its wierd being in the point of my mission where there really isnt too many missionaries whove been in the mission longer than me. in fact of my zone leaders now one came out at the same time as me and one came out after me. everyone else is going home.
anyhow it was a good day yesterday. i had chance to teach some really sweet people. there was this one guy named Paul. we got to talking to him and it was evident he had been reading some information our of certain tracts and pamphlets that werent published by those with good intentions. we were able to clear up most of his concerns and he really looked like he may investigate. we left him with a card and asked him that question that is near the end of that poem by your convert that you sent to me. what have you to lose? he said his family. i reminded him of the instruction that Christ gave when he gave the invitation "come follow me". it was a cool conversation. i think that if not now someday he will investigate the church.
the transfer is wrapping up pretty soon, just another week. its pretty wierd. i might be moving soon, i kinda feel like i may. ive been having a good time here but i guess i wouldnt mind moving along and getting to work in my next area. i imagine ill have at least one.
well i hope you all have a good week
everything is going pretty good here, i imagine itll keep in an upward trend.
love ya

Tender Mercies
I've had a very long, hard week full of stuff I won't go into here. It had nothing to do with Tom or any of the kids. They have been a great support to me always. My best friends have been there for me to lean on and my journal is full of pages and pages of everything. It has been very difficult, but I'm getting through it and I'm seeing things much clearer now. Heavenly Father has been here for me through it all.
Last night was the Ward Progressive Dinner and since I'm still the activities chairman I've been busy cooking cheesecakes all week. We had a successful evening and everyone had lots of fun, but when I went home I was emotionally and physically spent and wondering if I wanted to attend the Stake Women's Conference or stay home.
It was a really good thing I decided to attend the Women's Conference. The very first talk was exactly what I needed to hear today. It was about Esther and how she had been raised up in her time for a specific purpose. Sister Rawlins continued to apply that to our lives since we have been saved for this specific time and purpose. She talked about how Babylon in our day is spiritual in nature and that we need to keep our values intact.
Here are some things that really touched me:
The Book of Mormon was written for us and is full of prophecies about our day. Do you think Heavenly Father would leave things up to chance? We are the Lord's A-team. We are His first string.
Satan's tool is to keep us overwhelmed. He keeps us busy. He keeps the noise of the world so loud and constant that we get distracted and our senses become overloaded so we cannot feel the Spirit.
Remember who we are and whose we are.
"The time will come when only those who believe deeply and actively in the family will be able to preserve their families in the midst of the gathering evil around us." Spencer W. Kimball, Families Can Be Eternal, November 1980
We, like Esther have been raised up at this time for a specific purpose.

Me
Tag from Brianna
The idea here is define who you are - what seven things, traits or qualities make up who YOU are?
Ann
1. Independent--My mom tells a story about when I was 4 years old. She says there was a neighbor girl who liked to have all the little girls follow her around. Guess who wouldn't! That girl was so upset that I wouldn't follow her.
2. Goal oriented--Another story from my childhood. When I was 4 years old my 3 year old friend and I were playing outside one day and started talking about our future marriage plans. She said she would get married in Salt Lake City. I said, "I'm not doing that. I'm getting married in the temple."
3. Peacemaker--contention of any kind drives me up the wall. Good thing our kids don't fight much.
4. Tender-hearted--I want to do too much for people and it gets me into trouble sometimes.
5. Soft-hearted--I'm easily hurt.
6. Determined--I'm not easily swayed from my goals. Another story...I wanted to attend BYU-Utah very badly, but my mom kept trying to get me to attend USU and live at home. I stuck with it, found my own financial aid, saved my money for school costs and made it to BYU-Utah. Mom and the rest of the kids (8 of them) ended up living with Grandma Bright that first year. Good thing I didn't plan to live at home after all.
7. Confident--I know without a doubt that Heavenly Father loves me no matter how imperfect I am. I am acceptable in His eyes.
I tag...anyone!

Oh, I remember
I've been playing with the recipes since the food storage meeting we had on Jan. 30. Here's what I've done...

Makes 5 c. Magic Mix
White Sauce
1 c Magic Mix
1 1/3 c water
Add: 1 ½ tsp chicken or beef bouillon for cream of chicken or beef soup.
In saucepan combine Magic mix and water. Stir rapidly over medium heat until thick. Makes 1 1/3 c or equal one can of cream soup
Chicken Divan

2 2/3 c water
1 T chicken bouillon
Salt to taste
1 c sour cream
1 T lemon juice
1 ½ c grated cheddar cheese

2 and You've got mail
It's been a week and only 2 lucky people get something from me. I guess that's that. Hmmm. Maybe one will get my gingerbread house next Christmas.
The second part of this post is "Missionary Mail."
this week wasnt too much different than most. its been pretty good really.
like i said in moms email im not so good at finding investigators so Gods had to find other ways to get me people to teach. this week we got a couple new investigators. there is this part- member family thats tying up some loose ends and getting everyone where they should be. so ill be teaching another couple kids and helping them get there. it shouldn't take too long though. we also started teaching a nice young lady named ashley whos dating one of the young men in the ward. this has happened with a couple of his girlfriends before though so im hoping he wont dump her mid-teaching process.
weve got a couple other good things coming up, we're going to start planning for a youth missionary focus movie night so the youth have something kinda fun to invite their friends to. so we'll be meeting with the young mens president and young womens president this week to start that rolling. the other program we've been working on for a while was presented to the ward on sunday and so we should be able to start active work on that really soon. we're just kinda doing the finishing touches on the curriculum we'll be teaching people to we can make a hard copy so it can continue after we leave.
well i guess thats about all i got for now i love ya john
Dad. sounds like you guys are stepping it up as hometeachers! its good you were able to do that because now you can hold those within your stewardship accountable to it. itll be much easier for them to do it if youre bearing your testimony of how its helped you. homeland security must not have much to do if theyre at the special olympics in boise idaho.... wierd something pretty interesting happened about a week ago i failed to mention last week. it was pretty rediculous. brace yourself. so we are strolling out to the car to go start our day when we realize that someone got into our car. well turns out they didnt take anything, there wasnt really anything to take. but they did burn one of the seats with a cigarette.... and had sex in the back of our car... yup.... so needless to say we got the car detailed.anyhow ill let you know more about this week in my big emailtil theni love yajohn
Mom. ill try to be better about my money. it should be easier with Elder Jackson. Elder Adaoag would use home funds a lot so it was pretty tempting .
i think the additional lip-syncer was chris bippus but its been a while since ive seen that picture.
im stoked for tim, sounds like he'll have some fun!!
i likes that "tell a woman" comment. haha.... alot.
Elder Jackson is from near seatle washington. and Willie is doing pretty stinkin good. this week at church he and his wife asked US for an appointment instead of vice versa. he has a profound respect for what were doing. one of the members told us he wanted to give us money but they told him he couldnt so hes going to do what he can about paying us in food haha. this week we went there and we ate huge steaks and baked potatoes.
we got some new investigators this week that are pretty promising. i stink at finding new people so the Lord has found ways to just dump people into my lap. hes had to. i am trying, its just one of my weaknesses. ashley is dating one of the members here and has concented to start meeting with us. we should see her again wednessday, our first meeting with her was sunday. it was funny beacause our restoration lesson had to take a whole new shape because that day in our meeting we were introducing the new ward mission program and she musta heard the restoration about 3 times.
well i love ya im almost out of time

Three Men
Starting with the youngest of three of the four men in my life...
Tim got an invite to the Valentine's Dance at Borah High. This will be his first date. John used to worry about Tim's social life, but I would always tell him to lay off and let Tim decide what was right for him.
Anyway, at 10 pm last night the door bell rang and we found this on the front porch...

John's emails...
well transfers came and went. they were pretty crazy this transfer but i finally got my new companion. the transfer was accually delayed a day for the weather. its been pretty crazy here the last week or so.... hoosierland. we are finally getting winter. it get pretty cold by november but it doesnt like to really become winter here till late january. hopefully it wont go into march like last year.
anyhow my new companion is Elder Jackson. hes an awesome missionary and i think we'll have a blast this next transfer or so. hes a convert to the church of about 5 years. though kinda like Elder Varner suffered some less-activity. but he figured it out and got out here. not too much different than the way i did except i was born in it. he was lutheran previously.
the baptism went great! jimmy is our newest member of the martinsville ward! hes really a spectacular guy, cant wait till you meet him. well i can but you know what i mean.
everyone else is doing alright. its still a fight for chris to get to church but hes on the verge of maybe getting a day job with a member of the church in franklin ward. Charles is doing well. were just trying to help him get over his word of wisdom stuff still. its interesting to see how various people have to use different methods to quit smoking. its a slow but sure process with him, hes got a long road but he'll get baptized. we're kinda working with this guy named Willie Smith, hes been coming to church for a bit now and has been doing awesome and asking all the right questions. itll be a pretty quick investigation process when he finally wants to "investigate". in the mean time hes really friendly to us and asks us all sorts of questions!
well thats about it this week i guess.
i love ya
john
i dont remember boise ever having much to do with the special olympics. thats sweet!!
im glad to hear james and hannah are able to make those good decisions. what were they playing? its crazy the things that go on in these last days. me and Elder Jackson were talking the other day about how filthy the world is. maybe its just because from my perspective i see it a bit differently and it hasnt really changed much since i left but its kinda crazy.
those were really cool pictures. i like dads ugh boots. apparently those are the big style right now with women... well at least iu college women. also spandex is coming back.... ugh.
well ill let you know more about my new comp etc in the big email i love ya john
that sounds like an awesome lesson!!!
its good to remind ourselves often who we really are. its a crazy mixed up world out there and if we dont keep these things in mind were liable to get ourselves in trouble. one thing ive also been working on is remembering that each of those we serve are also children of our god. and its been a bit of a goal for me to see those around me the way god sees them.... its hard but its a worthwhile goal.
ill try to remember president yardley. ill see president tomorrow at zone conference. and yes he really is a wonderful man.
well i love ya
