Well there is a major time difference between you and i so that could possibly be the reason for the delay. Right now it is 10:00am here but it is probably like 2:00am-ish there. so that could be the problem. yeah J. e-maild me about all that stuff. But that's cool because i probably wouldn't have turned him in i would have just ignored him so that's good. that she has the courage to stand up for herself.
that's good that you have all been reading scriptures, and to answer your question i am in 3rd nephi right now in the book of mormon, but we are supposed to study preach my gospel more so i have been doing that the most. but definatly keep reading the scriptures. especialy J and C.
About the bible and stuff, Did they give you a new member package? is the newtestament miniture? well just send the new testament and the book of mormon and D&C. i don't need the gospel principles book. once i get it, i'll see what i can do to make it work.

Well as for what's going on here, we had kind of a slow week and we didn't meet many new people and alot of our apointments cancelled on us. but we did have 5 baptisim's this sunday wich was good but unfortunatly we were supposed to have 6 but one of them bailed at the last minute. It was frustrating. We were waiting to see him in sacrament and the people who bring him to chruch showed up but he didn't so we thought they had forgotten him. So we left sacrament and went to his house. we found him cleaning the house and we were kind of suprised. he told us that his sister and brother told him he wasn't grown up enough to be baptized and he is now going to go back to the methodist church. IT WAS SO FRUSTRATING!!! He was our golden investigator and he loved everything we were teaching him and he kept all of the commandments. it was so sad but we have moved on now, and we are going to go talk to him on wednsday so we'll see what happens. but yeah things are good here and transfers are wednsday morning. i'm still staying in ridgeway but we are getting two new greenies in our district.
It's awesome to hear from all of you, M. and K. and Z.. and i love each of you very much. keep up the good reading and learn lots from the scriptures. THey ARE AWESOME!!!!
well Talk to you later, i'm running out of e-mail time
Tyrell

P.S. Love you Dad

We are very busy now with wrestling and J. is assingned the spotlight for the show. Everyone is trying to read thier scriptures so to make a challenge for them they want to know where you are in your Book of Mormon. Well M. mostly wants to know and C. wants to beat him reading, you know how he makes everything into a competition. I got a bible but it is only the new
