(Brad mentioned to him in his letter that he is having to figure out when RM's speak all year and he mentioned which week he would have Dallin speak, teasing him that he would have him speak the week after the world ends by the Mayan calender) haha ive barely got a year haha. who all is coming home? brennen, collin, hayden, mike, ricky, lia....? are there people im forgetting? ill give a real good talk about the end of the world. do you have my topic yet? hahahaha jkjkjk. ricky has always been a bit of a hippy. (I have NO idea what he means by that, do you Alanna???) haha is he LZ or something? why did he go? (Brad told him that Ricky had to go with the AP to break up a fight between missionaries this past week...and YES, Ricky is LZ!!) (here are a couple of pictures of Dallin and Ricky. I think this was the morning that Ricky was set apart as a missionary! Ricky left to go on his mission in May, Dallin didn't leave until December. I have a picture of them hugging but it was blurry, do you have one Alanna? Ricky and Dallin are very close, Ricky lives just across the street!)

When did you feel the Spirit the strongest? (and don't just say at church.) i reached for my book of mormon one morning to study, and a bunch of papers fell off my desk (talks and things ive accumulated throughout the mission) the one paper that stood out was the email you send me in the ctm from the elders journal that baptized your parents. I started thinking about sometime in the future when there would be a family strong in the church with kids going on missions and one day when maybe that missionary would read an email from his mom or his dad that talks about theyre conversion, and one "elder Bergquist" that was there to help them be converted. needless to say, i cried a little and the Lord reminded me a little of why im here. because i have to help my brothers and sister change their lives and have peace in this life and eternal life in the world to come. i love this work! i love the Lord! I love you guys! I love life and all the blessings he gives us!
