14th April

Well, it sounds like there has already been some work done on the inside of the house.  You did mention that Zach moved into Helaman's room, so I guess that the only room left unoccupied now will be the "Guest room".
I am Super Excited about Easter. Our Choir will be doing a couple of performances that day. One of them will be in the morning at our Mission Office. The other one will be at one of the Stake Centers in our mission. I am not sure if any of them will be recorded or not, but I am excited to be able to sing. I think at both of them we will be performing "This is the Christ" which was written by James E. Faust.

 

It is awesome to hear that Brinya is still moving along in all of her medical operation things. I hope that she is doing a lot better than last I heard. I don't even remember what the last I had heard was.

It is also awesome to hear about the funny things that happen in Nature. Squirrels are really funny critters, so I am not surprised that it was scolding the cat.

 

Anyway, It was great to be able to hear from home again. I love you all and I hope that you all will be able to have a great week.

 

Love,

I hope that you were all able to have a wonderful Easter at home. I had a fantastic Easter. I was able to perform with our Choir again. We did two performances, one in the morning at a ward up in the Irvine Stake, and then an Easter Concert in the evening in the Mission Viejo stake. They were both great performances. After the first one, a member went up to one of the directors and said that she had been a convert and that shortly after that she moved to Salt Lake and had the opportunity every Sunday to hear the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. She felt however, that our performance that morning was even better than all of the performances she heard from MoTab. I still think we need to work on that, but the people around here, love to be able to hear from our Choir. We have gotten quite a reputation out here. We were told this right before we finished up the beforehand practice for the Evening Performance.

 

It was also wonderful to be able to hear from Elder Andersen on Saturday. I got to see my old Mission President as well, and some of the other missionaries I had known before our mission spilt back in July. I was quite pleased with the things I was able to learn from Elder Andersen. I am also going to have learn the scriptures better; mMore particularly, the Bible.

 

Anyway, I hope that you were all able to have a wonderful week, and I hope that this week goes well also.

I love you all,

 

Love,

Cool that Dad got called to be the Sunday School President. It is always good to hear about all of the things going on at home.

Before I forget to ask, did you guys get a package from me in the past week or so?

Anyway, I love that talk ( Safety for the  Soul) from Elder Holland. Elder Holland has always been one of my favorite Apostles. I haven't read that talk for a while, and will have to go read it again now.

As for my week, it was great. I was able to do a bunch more service again. We were asked to help out, again, at the Irvine Great Park, and we got a bunch of vegetables from the guy who runs most of the work on the Incredible Edible Farm. Hopefully, we are able to use it all up before it goes bad. But it was super awesome to be able to help with everything.

It is super crazy to think that Elder Tribett will soon no longer be Elder Tribett, and will be great for everyone to see him again.

I hope that you all have a great week. I love you!

Love,
