hey mom! thanks for the letter thats awesome to hear you guys had such a great time down in lake powell. i sent a letter to dad about everything but ya try to send that bubble envelope and ill see if it ever makes it here. thats awesome you got to go to the salt lake temple, i just learned a bunch of way cool stuff about that temple from a movie i just bought. like it took them 40 years to build it. they laid the whole foundation and then buried it so the government wouldnt find out about it when the armies came to utah. the foundatin cracked cause they used too much mortar so they ripped it all up and restarted its way crazy, the movie is called the mount of the lord its sweet. im finishing up the book of mormon for the 3rd time since i got here its way cool you can always get something new out of it. ive almost highlighted the whole dang thing. tell everyone i said hey. keep having fun without me haha. love you. kode
