Dear Mom and Dad,
Hey Hey! I had a really great Birthday thank you all for your great gifts. I actually got that package ON my birthday! Everything was so appreciated and perfect:D The RASPBERRY JAM is really great, the cards and letters, I loved Garrett and Erikas gifts, the sourpatch was perfect and you can always use some gum! That cracks me up that you picked the first card you saw...that was a great card! Most of all those leather scripture cases are really treasured, thank you. It reminds me of you Dad, just to carry my scriptures that way, it means a lot thanks!
We were waiting for transfer calls last Saturday and President called around 8:00. He has asked me to be a Zone Leader! When I asked him if he had any hints for me where I would be serving (not really expecting anything) he told me it was West of the Mississippi and East of the Pacific haha! Today during my email to President we found a way to see who I will be serving with...it shows on the site where we email. I will be staying in the Zone! the Elder I will be serving with is Elder Bradley (one of our current ZLs). He is a really cool guy and I think it will be great serving with him. I am really excited for the opportunity to improve and become better.
That's so cool that you got to talk with Sister Woodruff and Sister Hill! Dinner on my B-day was ALMOST as good as when you make it;o) It was really great though and I am going to miss that family a lot. The Hill family is really great and I will miss them a lot. That's cool that she called! Both Sister Woodruff and Hill have very energetic personalities. :o)
This area has been my favorite so far, the people here are really great and I have grown to love them a lot. Sacrament meeting yesterday was a bit emotional, especially for Elder Brown. I'm going to miss it a lot.
That is sooo great that Adrienne is going through the temple to receive her Endowment! I wish I could meet Doug, he seems like a great guy. Please let everyone over there know I love them and am doing well.
How's Robert doing?! That's great you went with him and Doug to Hiawatha, that place is so pretty. I told Robert I would write him at some point on my mission but I don't have an address to contact him. Could I get his address?
I love you all! I miss you and I pray for you. Keep being great!
Faithfully,Elder Marks
