May 3, 2010

Hey YOU GUYS!

Well all is well. Thank you for all your support. I'm really trying to be happy now for you and for me. I want you to be happy for me and not worry about me so I'm going to try and give myself an attitude adjustment as best as I can for now on.

You can probably send my medication here. The Dirkmaats can't find a good place to get a prescription.
Also if you could send socks( preferably gray) and black shoe polish with it that would be cool too. Oh yeah and the conference issue ensign.

So yeah that is the right phone number and I would like you to call 8 o'clock our time and I believe that's five o'clock yours.

Good job Jase! I'm excited for you to be in Pack TV. I hope you get that same relationship with Smith as I had. I was like his most trusted employee. When he couldn't count on anyone else, Hayden was there...and other Hayden I guess.

And good job dad for beating a little black guy! I don't really know what you're talking about with the selling soap part. I don't think I've seen them around before, but good job at humbling him. Maybe he's ready to receive the gospel now?

This past week has been interesting.

We found out that Henk smokes. He said that he wanted to stop slowly but we committed him to go cold turkey so he could still be baptized on Saturday. Also we still don't know how we will baptize him. But he's still doing great. As long as he keeps reading the book Of Mormon he will get the strength he needs to stop.

My bike tire popped again. I was a reparable leak though. That's good because usually these Chinese tubes literally explode.

We taught a less active and a visitor came to visit ( that's what visitors do i guess) and sat down with us. I don't think I've met anybody that sad and dark feeling in my life, Especially when he straight up said it was impossible for there to be a Resurrection. I felt really bad for that guy after we left because he just would not listen. But it made me realize that I do care for these people and want to do something to make them want to listen and believe that we can have hope and happiness. I just wish that everyone chose to take their challenges the way Henk chose to take his. But even I and most people in the world could can learn from that man's experiences.

I'm excited and scared to talk to you on Mother's day. Even though it doesn't seem to long ago I talked to you at the airport I think I'm gonna cry a little. If you can't get through just call Elder Schroath's ma and see what she did. We can't call you though unless you want to talk for like 5 seconds. Our phone time isn't huge.

Well I think I'll take some time to talk to Tanner today.

I love you all. Thank you for telling me that you're proud and that your testimonies are growing.

Love,
Hayden
