Family-

Well another week has flown by…we are in week 6 already and the amount of changes I have left in the mission continues to pass. Lauren is down to 2 changes left in her mission and will be home before we know it.

This week has been absolutely awesome, I have learned many great lessons from simply trusting in the Lord and being diligent in reaching my goals. The language is good, my companion is awesome and teaches me so much, the zone is great and we have such a great unity in the zone, our wards are doing great and it was one of the best weeks of my mission if not the best.

Wow, I cant express the love that I have for this work. This week we set some really high goals as a companionship…As we set the goals I pondered upon if they were really reachable, I began to doubt and I told elder roman that I felt we were exaggerating a little. He started to talk to me about the faith, I came to realize that I haven’t been trusting in the Lord. My companion taught me…He made me change my mind and my attitude about the faith, and I began to ask in every prayer for help to reach our goals and I developed a lot more faith this week. We were able to find 14 investigadores in one ward and 2 in the other, we were truly blessed for our faith and hard work.

This coming Sunday the two kids from the family facondi are going to get baptised and Esteban got changed for the 16th of December. Yesterday we had stake conference and the spirit was so strong, I love this stake that we work in. President Díaz is so inspired and every time we meet with him my testimony of revelation is strengthened for the inspiration we receive with him. We then had an activity of all the returned missionaries from the stake last night and we went to work with return missionaries for 4 hours. I went with one of the bishops from the stake and he taught me a lot. He is 28 and has been bishop for 2 years, he´s a stud. The spirit was so strong in the activity when we returned and everyone shared their testimonies about the experiences that they had.

I learned a lot this week and as Toad mentioned in his email, we need to learn the humility and how to let others teach us how we can overcome our weaknesses. I have learned so much from each one of my companions and its truly a blessing to have them one my hip 24-7.


It sounds like you all had a great time for thanksgiving, I won't lie I didn’t even remember that it was thanksgiving. We ate spaghetti and salad, I didn’t realize until Friday morning that it was thanksgiving so that was probably a good thing. I can only imagine how fun it must have been with the whole family there. Uncle Rick looks good and please send him my love and let him know that he is in my prayers. Thanks for the pictures that you all sent me, I can't even begin to explain how very blessed I am to have you all in my life and for you love and support. I love this gospel, I know that as we live it 100% we are doing the will of the father. I know that Christ lives that he loves us and that he paid for each and every sin, pain, sadness, heart ace and affliction that we have, we have no idea what he has felt and he himself said in D&C 19; he loves us and so does our Father in Heaven. I know Joseph Smith was and is a prophet of God and that Gordon B. Hinckley is a prophet, seer and revelator in our day. This is the only true church upon the face of this earth. I love you all more than you´ll ever know.

Have a great week in Florida and always have faith and be positive, and I promise the lord will bless you. Keep studying praying and keeping the commandments, personally and as a family and the unity in our wonderful family will continue to increase. Have a great week and I will inform you on my new changes next Monday.

HEY YOU GUYS!

I LOVE YOU SO STINKIN´MUCH! THINGS SOUND GREAT AND I´M SO GLAD THAT YOU HAD A FUN THANKSGIVING! TO BE QUITE HONEST, IT WAS JUST LIKE ANY OTHER DAY BUT I STILL WAS ABLE TO PASS THE DAY THINKING ABOUT THE THINGS THAT I´M GRATEFUL FOR. I ACTUALLY DO IT EVERY DAY HERE…BUT STILL NOT ENOUGH.
I LOVE THE MISSION! IT´S SUCH AN AMAZING JOURNEY…I´M SO LUCKY TO BE HERE.

I must say that the Lord does love me. HE LOVES US ALL! I love you all too! Please let every single person there know that I love them. I couldn´t be any more grateful for the gospel in my life and the joy that you each bring to me. Thank you for being you and doing what you guys do to make my life easier and so much happier.

IS EVERYONE HEALTHY THERE? Please take good care of yourselves! Everyone´s always sick here because of the crazy weather changes. One day it´s BLAZING hot and the next, it´s rainy and cold! WE NEVER KNOW WHAT CLIMATE WILL COME NEXT! Like I said, it´s an adventure!

It was a great week…we had our 2 families arrive for their baptisms and also receive the spirit yesterday in church. WHAT A MIRACLE! I am so grateful to have been able to help them in their journey towards eternal life with our Heavenly Father. Now they just have to keep going strong and keeping all of the commandments. Yesterday I had to teach gospel principles and the lesson was on OBEDIENCE. Why is it so hard for us to be obedient to the Lord at times? It´s the great, mysterious question! Bueno, because there´s always the opposition. But I know with all of my heart that through obedience, we are always taken care of. It´s something i´m trying to develop each and every day.

How cool for Toad! I know that he´ll be an incredible assistant. And so will Mase! (atleast that´s what I think will happen!) He has progressed so much and so quickly in the mission that I have no choice but to think otherwise! I know that the Lord is so very happy with him. I can feel it and the spirit testifies to me.

Well really…things are going just great! It makes me so happy to know that you are all enjoying life and doing your part. I can see it and feel it. PLEASE KEEP PUSHING YOURSELVES EACH AND EVERY DAY. I know i´m not perfect, but I do have desires to become a better, more faithful and obedient daughter of my Heavenly Father. That´s for sure! Have fun on your trip…it´s been almost exactly a year since we saw eachother in the airport and I can hardly even believe it! AAAHHHH! The time has flown by and it seems like the blink of an eye. It´s really
trippy!

Have fun, take lots of pics and please send them to me! I LOVE YOU MORE THAN YOU COULD EVER KNOW! YOU´RE MY HEROES!

1434 and more than all of the starz in the sky! BAZILLIONS!

Family-

Well its been another great week. We didn’t have much time in the sectors this week because we were doing a lot of stuff to get ready for an activity that we had yesterday. We still have 3 baptismal dates scheduled for Esteban and the two kids Matias and Genesis. I love this marvellous work and I am so grateful for the time I have left to serve. I talked to one of the Hermanas that went home 4 weeks ago and she looked at me and said, Elder Casper how lucky you are, you still have 11 months to share the restored gospel. It blew me away and helped me to understand how great of a blessing it really is to share the restored gospel with these wonderful people in Chile.

Elder Román and I are doing well and we had a good week and we are really excited for this week to come. I cannot believe that we are already in week 5 of this change… the time is going too fast. This week to come we have interviews with President Resek and i'm straight up stoked. The guy nourishes me spiritually every time I talk to him its incredible. But Dad to respond to your question, I feel that my Spanish is getting worse because Elder Roman knows how to speak quite a bit of English so I am trying to help him out and I fell that my Spanish is going down, but that’s all good...all I can do to help my companion.

We had an zone activity this morning and we played soccer and had a BBQ, it was fun and is always good to get out and play sports. I mean I would much rather play golf than soccer but lets be honest…is it possible? No its not!

Well I was pondering a lot on Wednesday about kirk getting home, i'll be honest it made me way trunky, but at the same time really sad. I can't imagine the day when people call me MASON in stead of ELDER CASPER, I will cry. I received the email from Lauren and felt the spirit so strong. I filmed a little today and then watched a little of the last family video that you sent me. Wow, should I even make an attempt so tell you how much I love you all? Well i'll try but it can't be said in words. I love you all so much. To see your faces in pictures and to hear your voices fills my soul with the spirit of love. What is blessing it is to have eachother.

Well Dad and Mom it sounds like all is well and that work is going well for you, I hope everything is continues to go good and I know it will.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING…I can't believe that this is the last thanksgiving I will spend in the mission, I don’t want to get too trunky but let's be honest, there is nothing like spending time with the good ole fam. I hope you have a great thanksgiving while i'm here in Chile eating the same thing every day…I cant imagine eating turkey, I would be in heaven.

Well things are great here, its hotter than the curling iron that burnt me when I was 1, and I sweat constantly. Its almost summer here and tomorrow I complete 14 months in the mission. The time continues to go by fast and it seems like just yesterday I walked into the MTC doors not having a clue what I was doing. Isnt it amazing what the mission does for people?

Dad just so that you guys know, yes Camila is staying for Christmas and will be staying in Utah for 3 weeks with a 1 week visit to California, but as you said just have Asher or Kirk call…in fact have Kirk call, I want to hear what he thinks about the way Chileans speak, they speak so fast and so bad. Well I hope they hear from you this week and I talked to the Mom this week and she is so grateful that we would offer our home to her daughter. She told me that any time we need a place to stay in Chile, her house will always be available.

The mission is growing and we are being so blessed. We had zone leader counsel this week and right now we are lower in numbers than where we were in September and October but this week in our zone we set 4 more baptismal dates and it all depends on our faith as missionaries and if we are willing to give all we have to the Lord and trust in Him. Just think of the confidence that Nephi had in the Lord. Why can't we show our faith like he did? He was also young. It's something i'm working on and I hope that someday I become a man of unwavering faith. I'm thankful for all the blessings I have, especially for my Savior Jesus Christ, for His atoning sacrifice and for the faith that I have in the atonement. I'm thankful for the restoration of the gospel, for the courage and love that Joseph Smith had for our Father in Heaven to give his life for the cause of the gospel. I'm more than grateful for my loving Heavenly Father and for the family that he has givin me…you are my pride and joy and I want you all to know that I admire and love you more than you´ll ever know. Nana, Papa, Grams and all those other examples in my life. I love you all and hope you have a great week, work hard, study hard and pray hard and the Lord will bless you sufficiently.

HEY BEAUTIFUL FAMILY!

HOW ARE YOU GUYS DOING THIS WEEK? IT MAKES ME SO HAPPY TO HEAR FROM YOU…I HAVE THE GREATEST FAMILY IN THE WHOLE, WIDE WORLD! I LOVE YOU ALL SO DARN MUCH. THANK YOU FOR BEING YOU! IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU´RE ALL DOING SO WELL AND THAT MAKES ME HAPPIER THAN YOU COULD EVER KNOW. THAT´S HOW IT SHOULD BE!

AS FOR ME…i´m great! I am so happy here in Luque…I love the people, the atmosphere, and everything about it. I can´t say that i´m in love with the food, in fact, i´m a little bored with it! But…it´s all good! Atleast when I get home i´ll be turned off by fried foods! BUT ALL IS GREAT HERE…I´M LOVING LIFE!

It was a good week because we found lots of cool people and we had a great baptism. And we are going to have a baptism of 2 families together next week…it´ll be great! The Lord loves these people so much…he wants them to be happy and be able to arrive one day in the temple to be sealed eternally. Today we were talking about that in our zone meeting…it´s not at all about the numbers or the amount of people that we baptize…we are giving them the opportunity to live with the Lord as an eternal family. It really puts things into perspective for me…If i don´t do my part, someone could possibly not have the opportunity to hear of the gospel. WHAT WE DO IS SO IMPORTANT. I was so very touched by Mase´s story last week, and Scottie Pickering´s as well. They both brought me to tears. The spirit truly testified to me that they are both great missionaries and serving the Lord how they should be. THANK YOU FOR YOUR EXAMPLES! WOW! It´s so amazing to see my little brothers growing up so much! (I say that in regards to mase and all of his friends!) And how crazy is it that Kirk is home?! Send them all my love!
I had to speak in church yesterday and it was one of those "No one came prepared to give a talk…can you?!" moments. Surprisingly, I was very grateful to be able to share my thoughts, testimony and feelings. I talked about the importance of the family. I felt as though the spirit was truly guiding me and helping me. The coolest part? Afterwards, a member of the bishopric told me, "Wow Hermana, you spoke your spanish perfectly. It was great!" WHAT A BLESSING! I´m grateful to know that in some way i´m still progressing and getting better at things. IT´S A NEVER ENDING PROCESS! ETERNAL PROGRESSION!

Well…please keep taking care of yourselves! I´M SO HAPPY THAT YOU´LL ALL BE GETTING TOGETHER FOR THANKSGIVING…GIVE EVERYONE BIG HUGS AND KISSES FOR ME! EVERYONE! I´m glad that Nana and Papa will also be getting home soon and tell them that I want to hear all about their experienes…I want to go to Israel someday, without a doubt. I WANT TO TRAVEL ALL OVER! But please let them and sarah and byron and the kids know that I love them. Have you thought anymore about whether or not you´ll be comino to get me? PRAY AND LET ME KNOW! Let my sweet gramms know that I love her…I´m so grateful for the sweet, loving person that she is and the example she is for me. I think of her lots. Let Meg know I love her too…and her family! My 2nd family!

BE SAFE, HAVE FUN AND KEEP DOING ALL YOU CAN FOR THE LORD. AND FULFILL AND MAGNIFY YOUR CALLINGS TO THE MAX! 100%!

1434 AND MORE THAN THE HUNDREDS OF BUGBITES THAT COVER MY LEGS!

Lars

P.S. Please call Jules, Brinn, Bergen and Kory today and let them know that I love them. I´VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT THEM LOTS...PLEASE CALL THEM WITHOUT FAIL TODAY!

Hermana Casper 11/12/2007

HEY YOUGUYS!

HOW THE HECK ARE YA?! Well…life here in Paraguay rocks! I LOVE IT HERE SO MUCH! I am doing really well and the Lord, as always, is blessing us so much. IT´S INCREDIBLE! I have nothing to complain about…life is beautiful and the work is progressing, as well as the ward that we´re in. I´m so grateful for the opportunity to share my testimony each and every day. IT´S AN AMAZING, EDIFYING AND CHANGING EXPERIENCE. I LOVE THE MISSION WITH ALL OF MY HEART.

We are teaching a lot of really cool families right now…a family got baptized and married this week, and we will have 2 more families getting baptized on the 21st. The Lord wants all to be able to participate in the blessings of the restored gospel, and for that reason, we are blessed to be the instruments to help in finding them.

SO YEAH…ALL IS GREAT HERE! I LOVE MY CUTE, NEW COMP. She´s so ready and willing to learn, and has desires to be an incredible missionary. THAT MAKES ME MORE HAPPY THAN YOU COULD EVER KNOW. That´s one thing that i´ve learned…we must be humble to learn and try new things. HUMILITY IS SO DARN IMPORTANT!

I love to hear of all the progress that you are making. I KNOW that the Lord is blessing, protecting and watching over you guys. And He always will. He loves you so much! I must say that I have the greatest family in the whole wide world! I can´t even express the love that fills my heart when I think of you. NEVER FORGET IT!

Mommy and Daddy…wow, I am love with your idea. The greatest thing about it is that my great family from my first area should be preparing to go through the temple that very week, and we could all go through together. That´s my dream. But…if financially it´s not possible, don´t feel pressured at all. It would be incredible to also come when we go to pick up Mase from Chile. Pray about the 2 options and please let me know. I want you guys to live within your means and if you can only make one trip, then that´s just fine. It´s such a blessing that you can come, period.

MOM AND DAD…I NEED YOUR HELP. My comp still hasn´t heard even one time from her family and it makes me really sad. I think her parents aren´t very sure how to communicate with her. Anyhow, I was thinking that you could use skype to call her parents, with the help of Asher talking to them, and explaining how they can write her. Her phone number is…063-25254. You´re going to have to see how you can get through to Uruguay…she has no clue and neither do I. Her email address is hnamaryar12@myldsmail.com. Please try and get that taken care of this week. I want to help her if I can to be able to hear from them. Like I said, have Asher or someone that speaks Spanish come and help you guys.

Well…please know that I love you and i´m praying for you each and every day! YOU ARE MY HEROES! I LOVE YOU MORE THAN I COULD EVERY BEGIN TO EXPRESS AND I´M ETERNALLY GRATEFUL FOR YOU! YOU GUYS ARE THE VERY BEST!

1434 and more…SEND MY LOVE TO ALL! More love is coming your way than all of the fish that swim in the ocean!

Sissy

THANKS FOR THE CAMERA! I CAN`T WAIT TO GET IT! AND ALSO…I GOT YOUR 2 POSTCARDS TODAY AND I LOVED THEM! ALSO...SEND MY LOVE TO THE DOXEY FAMILY! YEA FOR KIRK! TELL HIM HELLO FOR ME AND CONGRATS FOR SERVING SO FAITHFULLY THE LORD. SEND MY LOVE TO ALL!

P.S.S. PLEASE SEND ME PICS! I LOVE SEEING YOUR BEAUTIFUL FACES! TELL MEG I LOVE HER AND I´M SORRY I CAN´T EMAIL HER!

Elder Casper 11/12/2007

Mamá and Papá-

Hey whats crackin back home? Well it sounds like you are all doing well. Things are going great here, we had another good week and Elder Roman and I are being so blessed in our sectors. We are in Poeta Neruda and Edwards Bello. We share two wards so each Sunday we have to split up to be in the two wards. But as you know from last week we had 2 baptismal dates in Edwards Bello.

Well, we set another one this week with a young guy named Esteba. He is a stud and accepted a baptismal date in the second lesson that we had with him. He told us a great story. When we contacted him on Wednesday he was at a bus stop and we stopped and talked to him. Well it turns out that he is a guard for a bank in downtown Santiago and has a lot of time to sit around watching tv and reading. We gave him a Book of Mormon and invited him to read 3 Nephi 11. The next day we went to his house and he wasn’t there because he had to study, so we talked to his father and set up a time for Friday. When we arrived Friday he had just gotten home from work and told us to come in. We taught him part of the Plan of Salvation with the Restoration because his Mom passed away about 8 years ago...the spirit was way strong. We then invited him if he had asked God if the Book of Mormon was true…he said he hadn't, but did ask God that if it were true you two would come to my house to teach me. He then said that he knew it was true. Well, he needed a confirmation from the spirit so we left him a part in the Book of Mormon to read and invited him to ask god specifically if it was true. We went again to see him on Saturday and he accepted to be baptised the 9th of December. Then he told us that when we had contacted him at the bus stop the first day, he had recently left his house and before he left his house he said a prayer and told God in the prayer that he wanted to change his life, the only problem was is that he didn’t know how. He later told us that God answered his prayer by sending us to help him change his life. It was truly a great experience and it just goes to show how loving our Father in Heaven is...I love this work!

Elder Roman and I are doing good, the zone is good and we are progressing every week in the zone. Tomorrow we have zone leader counsel and it will be the second to last time that I see Elder Bealer.

I can't believe that Kirk gets home on Wednesday…are you stinkin kidding me? That’s so nuts, the time goes by so fast and we don’t even recognize where it goes. It sounds like sissy is doing well. Make sure to give Kirk a big hug for me and tell him I will be sending a letter soon. I got a letter from him last week and it was way good to hear from him and feel of the spirit as I read his letter.

Mom in the package I only need you to send Elder Roman a English hymn book. Also to send the shaving replacements for the fusion, I don’t have any more and razors here are so expensive.

Well send my love to all especially Nana & Papa, Grams and the rest of the crew…I love you all so very much. I don’t have much time so until next week keep up the great work…I love you and you all are in my very thought and prayer.

1434 and even more than all the people that smoke in chile…And it’s a lot.

Love,

Elder Mason Casper

Mamá and Papá-

Hey whats crackin this week? Well it sounds like you're way busy this week Dad, in Jamaica…no big deal that not cool or anything. Well it wasn’t surprising news to see that Sis is training. That’s AWESOME, it’s the best time of the mission and a time when a missionary grows so much spiritually as they put forth the effort and let their companion TEACH them.

I remember when Presidente Openshaw called me to train and he shared with me the story of John the Baptist and Jesus Christ. It was impressive how John the Baptist humbled himself and allowed Christ to complete the will of the father. It was the same for me and for everyone else that is called to train in the mission. We have to humble ourselves and allow our new companions to increase spiritually and mold themselves into the missionaries that the Lord wants them to be. We have to teach them and let them teach us as well. What a great experience my Sissy will have over the next 3 months. My training time was the best time of my mission and the time where I learned the most. And I am so grateful for the experiences that I had.

Well just thinking about my sissy training has made me feel the spirit in knowing of the progression that she will gain over the next 3 months. Its really weird that she only has 5 months left…

Well we had a good week in the zone, we started out the week in our sector contacting a less active family on Monday night. We went to their house on Tuesday and began to teach them. Well the parents have been inactive for 3 years and the kids haven’t been baptised, so we taught the first lesson and invited them to be baptised…The great thing about it is that we invited to Father to prepare himself to baptise his two kids Matías and Génesis on the 18th of November. He accepted to do it so…we called bishop and scheduled an interview for Sunday morning, they had the interview and they set goals and if he completes with his goals he will be able to baptise his kids on the 18th. It was a true miracle and a blessing because they are so ready and willing to return to the church. Their desires are so strong.

We also had zone conference this week and it was great. President Resek set some new mission rules and cracked the whip on those that disobey. We can no longer listen to EFY music, only the hymns in the hymn book. It will be good for us to increase our spirituality. I went on divisions with Elder Adams this week and we had a great time. I love him to death and truly treasure the friendship that he and I have. Elder Roman and I are great, enjoying our time and I am learning a ton from him. I got letters from Mom, Kirk and Toad this week. Thanks so much for your heart felt letters and know that they mean more that you will ever know to me. Its nuts that Kirk goes home in like a week, I cant even explain my feelings, its just a really weird feeling to see that all my friends are starting to go home. And here soon my best friend in the world, LAUR will be home.

Well I love you all so much, more that you will ever comprehend, you all mean the world to me. I love this work and gospel, what a blessing it is in our lives. Keep working hard, praying hard and studying hard and the Lord will complete with his part.

HEY YOU GUYS! WHAT A TIME I AM HAVING HERE IN PARAGUAY! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE BEING A MISSIONARY! AND I LOVE MY NEW AND BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER! She´s awesome…her name is Hermana Arredondo and she is from URUGUAY! I absolutely love the uruguayans! I think the Lord wants me to learn so much from them, and for that reason, I have had 3 uruguayan companions thus far in the mish. The Lord has blessed me so much this week and surprisingly, things are going smoothly. WHAT A BLESSING! We were promised this week by the assistants and the president that if we did our very best to teach these new missionaries by obediente and hard work, that the Lord would bless us in our areas. THE PROMISES ARE ALREADY BEING FULFILLED. A family that we´ve been working with, will now be getting baptized and married on Wednesday. The crazy thing is, last week, Eusevio, the dad, didn´t want to hear any more about the church, and even less wanted to get baptized. Our first day of work with my new comp, we received the good news that he had changad his mind and that the Lord had softened his heart. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?! I can. I Love the Lord so much. I know he Works diligently to bless us when we work diligently to serve Him. REALLY…ALL IS WELL IN THE WORK AND ALL WE CAN DO IS PRAY, FAST AND DO OUR PART TO FIND MORE OF HIS PRECIOUS CHILDREN.

Well…what else? Oh yeah…today we had an activity with all of the Hermanas and it was a BLAST! I love them so much. They are like my sisters. The cool thing is, we got to match the movie DREAMER. Oh my goodness…I loved it so much! It was the very first time I had seen it. It touched me a lot. That cute little girl had faith, and the miracles came. AND SOÑADOR WON THE RACE! (By the way, that means dreamer in Spanish! Holla!)

Well Daddy…you´re in Jamaica. HOW COOL IS THAT?! PLEASE TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF AND BE VERY VERY SAFE. AND MOMMY…I LOVE YOU SO DARN MUCH! AND ASH AND LACE AND COLEY AND HARRIS AND GRAMMS AND MASE AND MEG AND KELL AND MUMFORD AND ALL OF MY AMAZING FRIENDS AND FAMILY! I AM SO BLESSED! I pray for each of you daily. I know that the Lord is blessing you and will continue to do so as you follow Him in every step of your lives. I´M SO HAPPY. I´M SO BLESSED. AND I KNOW I´M RIGHT WHERE I´M SUPPOSED TO BE.

KEEP WORKING HARD AND DOING YOUR PART. AND PLEASE KEEP WRITING ME AND KEEP IN TOUCH ALWAYS. I WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU AND KNOW WHAT´S GOING ON IN EVERYONE´S LIVES. Kirk Doxey is getting home soon, right?! How crazy is that?! I can´t even believe it…send the Doxey´s my love!

1434 and more than the sweat beads that cover me each and every day here in BLAZING HOT PARAGUAY!

Sissy

P.S. JUST LET ME KNOW ABOUT THE CAMERA AND ALL…AN ELDER HAD HIS MOM SEND HIM A CAMERA AND SHE DID SOMETHING VERY CLEVER. SHE PUT IT IN A BOX, BUT SENT A CAN OF PRINGLES…OPENED IT UP, TOOK OUT HALF OF THE PRINGLES, PUT THE CAMERA IN IT, AND THEN FILLED IT WITH PRINGLES AGAIN. THEN SHE SUPER GLUED THE PACKAGE SHUT AGAIN. IT GOT HERE SAFE AND SOUND! ALSO…PLEASE CHECK MY HOTMAIL ACCOUNT BECAUSE PEOPLE TEND TO WRITE ME. ALSO…PLEASE ADD THE HERMANA MUMFORD AND WHOEVER ELSE WANTS TO BE THERE, ON MY LIST. AND WHOEVER WRITES ME AS WELL SO THAT ALL CAN HEAR FROM ME. I WANT TO BE COMPLETELY OBEDIENT, AND IN DOING SO, I CAN´T WRITE ANYONE BUT THE FAM IN EMAILS. SORRY MEG, MUMFORD, AND OTHERS. I LOVE YOU LOTS! PLEASE KNOW IT!
