Hello!!!!
Ya ap is going good. it makes me really understand the real meaning of serving. I really dont have any ideas of what you could do either because i dont really know the situation of the family but i do care. and devin you were a missionary. use your brain. What did you always commit families to do so that they could come closer together? Have you read the family a proklamation to the world lately? Do you study the scriptures together as a family and pray as a family? Make God and Christ the centerpoint and forget yourselves. Forget Yourselves and come quickly to the Remembrance of the rock of your Redemption which is Christ. (Helaman 5:12) And with this remembrance you will be able to overcome the devils mighty storm, whirlwind and hail, which we know WILL come. No matter what. we know that trials will come but what we need to remember is the savior. i invite you to read and pray as a family. Seek the guidance of the holy spirit in your lives.
I am doing great. I loved hearing from you as well. I love you all so much. The work is going forward and Elder Baird and i are tearing it up. We have 3 baptismal dates and we are teaching more lessons a week than i have ever taught before. I think that the Lord is really blessing people at this time. I have no idea what is going on but i like it. I have been giving my best. I have been the most focused as i have ever been on my entire mission and i believe that the language has never been easier. I love working with other missionaries and being able to do exchanges over all in our entire mission. I ask myself sometimes why am i allowed to serve in this position. it is such a blessing and i learn so much. I had a wonderful Christmas, and a great new year. Elder Baird and i have been running quite a bit lately and its really cool how we just feed off of each others energy in every aspect. in the work in morning sport, in planning. everything. I love it. I would give everything in the world to continue in the happiness that i enjoy daily working here in München with Elder Baird. I love you all. I want you to understand that clearly and fully that i am here for you. I wish you all a great new year and the blessings that God has in store for us as a family. may we humbly go forth with our thoughts focused on Christ and his Atonement is my prayer in His sacred name, Amen.

Way cool that the old folks are still dating!!!!!!! thats great!!!! Keep it up being the cool parents!!!!!
European missionaries are allowed to go there. president gave us the low down on Switzerland. We are pretty stacked with European missionaries and so i believe that we will be ok and that the work here will go forth.
