HeyGood Looking,
Ireally enjoyed your last letter. I am not sure that you know, but you arerelated to Elder Bednar. His wife is Susan Robinson from Star Valley,Wyoming. She and I were at Ricks College together. I dated one ofher friends and a couple of times stayed at her house when I went to StarValley over a weekend to see Denise Lancaster (the girl I was dating). Grandpa Robinson was one of thirteen Children of John Robinson and most of theother twelve children stayed in Star Valley or Preston Idaho, so we have a lotof relatives in that area.
Iam not doing as good in my reading of the Book of Mormon. I am only on 2Nephi 3. But at least I am on 2 Nephi 3. I really enjoy teachingthe Book of Mormon to the high school students. I have a good class ofsmart students. I have been pretty solid with working out. I havelost about 10 pounds, but I don’t seem very thin. But it iscoming. It would be fun to work out with you, I hope that we get thatchance together.
Yourstory of meeting a boy as you got out of church reminder me a similar storywhen I was in Blackfoot Idaho, my first area. We had just finished a Zonemeeting. Usually the zone meetings were in Pocatello but for some reasonwe had it at the tabernacle in Blackfoot. After the conference ended, mycompanion and I kinda lingered around talking to the other elders that had totravel back to their areas so I think were about the last to leave thebuilding. AS we left and were getting into the car a young woman about 17came up to the window of the car and asked us what she needed to do to bebaptized. We did teach her and she was baptized. It seems like wehad a lot of those kinds of teaching experiences in my mission.
Myone regret is that I didn’t keep a good journal and I didn’t keeptrack of people that I taught and was involved with. When Julie and Iwere first married we lived in a small home up by the University of Utah andwere in a ward with a lot of students. One day after services were overand we were exiting the building I came across a young man that we had baptizedin Rock Springs, Wyoming Clark Gilbert. He had just finished hismission and was attending the University of Utah. I saw him frequentlythat spring as he was in the ward that meet after ours did. Julie and Ibought a home that summer and I haven’t seen him since. It would be niceto know how he is doing.
Gottago. The legislature is keeping me really busy. Staff ask frequentlyhow you are doing. I am proud to tell them of your adventures andsuccesses. I sure love you a lot and think that you are awesome.
Loveyou,
Dad
