hey, i just sent off a package of stuff for you guys. it is matt's b-day
present and some letters and pictures for you. i am glad that you guys
are doing well and that the house is coming along so well. and about
matt and the paint?.....well, he must have been living right. i have
been at the mtc for almost two weeks and it has gone by so fast that it
isn;'t even funny. haha...i like how i laugh anyways... so spanish is
going well and companions are great. i hope that everything is going
well for you guys and that you are finding satisfaction in your lives.
oh, mom what is the email that you don't recognize? also, i was
wondering if you are forwarding this email on to harmon's and hanson's
and other families in the rupert ward. if not, please do. thank you so
much for the packages the cinnamon rolls were great. and tell dad that
he did a great job at picking that card with the pig on it. everything
is going fantastic and devotionals are being so helpful. this last
week, the devotional was on things that we may have had to give up in
order to come on a mission. the speaker had asked everyone to write
done some things that they are going to have to live without for the
next 18 months to 2 years. i just wrote down that i am going to miss
little brothers graduating from high school, going to their first day of
kindergarten, and this list goes on and on. anyways i was really proud
of myself becuase i didn't start crying. but all that he said was that
"your family will be more blessed with you gone than they could ever be
when you are with them." so i am going to be brave and do what's right,
because it is right. and its what i need to do. thanks for sharing
that story of grandpa hodge's. that is so awesome, and tell him to call
ahead if he decides to come down here haha. anyways i hope that
everything goes well and that you are being as blessed as i am. also we
go to the temple on tuesday and so that is really awesome as well.

i
love you all very much and hope that you will be blessed as much as i
have been. Oh mom, really fast...the story that i remember about brother
kent is that no matter what sunday it was, whether we were standing in
the halls at church or getting ready for a meeting, and even though
brother kent may be late for something, he would always stop me in the
hallway and hand me a few swedish fish that he kept in his suit pocket.
that was so awesome that someone would take time to do such a simple
thing. send kent's my condolences and love. i love you very much and
keep thinking about you all the time. god be with you till we meet
again.
sincerely,
elder benjamin dale child
P.S. give the guys a hug for me...XXXXOOOXOXOXXXOOxxxoxoooxoxxOOO
