Hi guys.

Quick Mom update. Met with her Sunday afternoon. She's been doing better. Took her some clean clothes. But she had a bad night. Called me this morning and was in the "bad loop" again.
She said bishop Chandler visited her last night and gave her a blessing. Haven't heard from the doctor just yet, but the last plan was to look closely at a release on Tuesday, tomorrow. Don't know if that' s going to happen.

P-Day for Mike. Got his latest e-mail. I'm posting it below:
"Hey,
It's been another week, not much to report. I'm glad to hear that Mom is
getting better, I've been praying for her every night... that was a little wierd
to say. I've been noticing a differance in the way I view the world, lately.
I've been praying every night, and every time we leave the appartment, we pray.
I've never prayed so much in my life. But I feel pretty good.
Anyway, this week has been kind of interesting. We had an overnight trip to
Cincinnati for a mission conference where we got to hear Elder Mikelson of the
first 70, I think I spelled his name right. That was a long day. We've been
teaching this recent convert, she was baptised before I came here, but she
completely regressed. The Elder who was here before me was so focused on getting
her baptised that he didn't see that she had no base to stand on. We just found
out that she wasn't even sure who Joseph Smith was, and she has this friend who
has been feeding her alot of anti stuff, and she's been soaking it up like a
sponge. We showed her the Restoration video after church, and I think she's
gotten a little back on track.
We also tracted into this guy the other day, he Mesiahonic. Which from what he
told us was alot like Jewish but not. They believe in the Messiah (Jesus Christ)
but he said that if someone called him a Christian, that that would be an insult
to him. We talked with him for like 3 hours, and everything he said was so
close, even exactly what we believe. It wasn't until he flat out said that he
didn't believe nor would he ever believe that Joseph Smith was a prophet, that
we dropped him as an investigator.
These are only a few of the great experiences I've had so far. And I want to
thank you for all those times you dragged me to church, and made me read the
scriptures with you as a family. I love you, and appreciate everything you have
done, and everything you are doing for me. You've been a great Dad. Tell
everyone, especially Mom, that I love them and miss them. It's kind of wierd to
think about that fact that this is the longest I've ever been away from home.
Anyway, I'll write again next week.
Love Elder Young

P.S. Tell James, if he hasn't deleted everything off of that memory card I sent
home, to NOT delete anything, and to send it back to me. I can print out
pictures and thins here, but I want to view the videos one more time. If they've
already been deleted, that's alright, maybe you can send me a DVD with them on
it or something."


THAT'S IT FROM MY END. YOU KNOW YOU OTHER GUYS CAN WRITE ON HERE AND TELL US HOW YOU'RE DOING TOO.
WE'LL SPEAK LATER.
LOVE DAD.
