Hello everyone people,

Yes i did get the other e mails. So no need to worry.

I'm glad everyone is doing good. I really happy to hear Jase is almost at eagle status! That's sweet. And yes good luck with the straight a's. Very possible for you Jase. I feel wierd that you're going back to school already. That seems like a short summer compared to my 6 month summer so far.

Wow dad. Going to work huh? Well I'm glad you get a little better everytime i hear from you. And mom good luck with the math. You should be fine. It's jsut elementary math right?

The Dirkmaat's are leaving for home friday so probably dont' send things there. That's nuts.... I thought they would be hear forever when i first got to Suriname. When i heard how long they had way back then i thought they had a long time left but 6 months was like nothing. That makes me think. 6 months went by so fast. why do i stress? A mission isn't that long. It's jsut hard to get it into to your head that 2 years isn't as long as you always thought it was and you don't have a long tie to serve the Lord in this way.

hey guess what GREAT NEWS! We had a last second baptism this week! we just got it approved wednesday. The bad news is my camera got baptized as well. I gues when i talked about how baptism clenses us from sin my camera wanted to be clean too so it hopped in my pocket right before i baptized.....I know i know typical me. The kid's name that was baptized was Anferny. He had a great experience with the baptism. He said , "Ik voelde me zo licht" which being interppruted means " I felt so light." That was cool to hear. Hopefully Elder Bells dad will send the the pics...ha

We have 2 more missionaries leaving Suriname next transfer and their replacements are nowhere in sight so it looks like we will have 11 missionaries in the whole country until someboby gets this visa problem figured out. I remember how i felt when i got delayed and i feel terrible for these others becuase some havn't been here for about 3 months!

Today for p day we played untimate frisbee in the mud and one of our Elders got chipped teeth.....we'll definitly play again next week. My clothing is completely mudded so i hope i can wear them again because some of the clothing was the shirt that Parker made for me and i like that shirt a lot. Thanks Park!

Wow Reading that e mAil of Tanner's just makes me realize more how short a mission is. He has seriously almost been out a year. I've seen a cuople of times that Jase has said that he feels like i've been out forever but i can't belive the trip to New York was over a year ago and the call opening and the fair and ......wow.

SO yes about the card reader ....uh hold off on that i guess. SO do you want me to buy a new camera here or do you want to sned me one? Or do we just not trust me to have one? I might try to get mine fixed so I'll tell you how that works out and then tell me what you would rather have me do.

I sent Grandma Pat a birthday letter with pictures so be on the look out for that. I think it will miss her birthday, but its comin'!

Wow thats sweet that Austin went ot the temple and his dad got to go. Tell them both hello for me.

I love you all. Thank you for letting me know what's going on and that you're all happy.

Love,
Hayden
