Dear Jessica,
     I'm so glad that you liked them! :) As for what I think about
your work, I would ask myself these questions; what do you do
when you're not working? What can the extra money help you 
with in the future? Will you enjoy working full time? What will 
you lose if you work full time? So, for missionaries (by the way 
I'm not trying to put you down here) we are always tired. The 
same thing happened in the Marine Corps. I've found that if you 
just keep going with it your body will become used to it and it 
wont be as big of a problem. :) So after you answer those 
questions than I would tell you to make your decision. OF COURSE, 
pray about it first! :) :)
     I'm sooooo happy to hear you're reading the Book of Mormon! 
And that your days are going better! It truly is amazing that 
reading from it, just 10 to 15 minutes per day, makes such a big 
impact. :) I love the Book of Mormon! And when I have time I will 
try to beat my record. :)

Answer time
 -I think in the back of my mind I've always known the church 
was true. It has always made logical sense to me. But it really 
hit me during SOI. I had just gotten in from a water resupply. I 
was looking out over the little valley from our patrol base. I had 
a couple extra minutes so I took off my helmet and set it down 
next to me. I held my rifle on my leg and pulled out my "Gospel
 Principles" book. Wow, what a feeling! :)
 -No, I don't have a lucky charm item. I guess the only thing it 
could be is the challenge coin I got from the church at SOI.
 -My favorite thing about Flora Vista is by far the people! I love 
these people!!!
 -Oh man, when I die I want people to remember my positive 
attitude, I guess.
 -Favorite dream. Well I don't really dream, so.....I guess I 
daydream. That's normally about kicking in doors and stuff. :)
 -Yes, we should all love God the most. He is the reason why we 
and our spouse are here. He will not ask us to do anything that 
will not be for our benefit!
 -If I had to live somewhere in Asia it would be China or Japan. 
Cool languages and culture. :)
 -My favorite color of sticky note is whichever is on your car. :)
 -The name of my new little sister is................................................
...............pause for dramatic effect..................................................
Autumn. :)
Question Time
   -When did you come to know the church is true? In detail.
   -Favorite dream? In detail.
   -Worst nightmare? In detail. :)
   - Most recent spiritual experience? Also, in detail. :)
   -Do you have your mormon.org profile up yet?
   -Favorite thing I've sent you thus far? Why?
     Well I have to go. Until next time. Hagonet!

Dear Jessica,
     I'm shocked that you have never played "Where's Waldo"! 
You should play it. It's fun. :) And I'm glad you are enjoying 
your job! :) :)
     "Knock, and it shall be opened unto you." to me means if 
we "knock" on heavens doors (pray) we will be enlightened 
(revelation). Good question, I hope my answer helped. 
 -A successful life to me is one where my Heavenly Father is 
pleased with me and I can enter into the highest degree of the 
Celestial Kingdom.
 -What inspires me? Right now, the people that I am serving. I 
have come to love these people with all of my heart!
 -Favorite game-Axis and Allies
 -3 words that describe me; Missionary, Marine, and Nonawesome 
;)
 -Ok, so two reasons I didn't ask you on a date earlier is because 
you were around D, J,and T. And I asked you if you wanted to go 
to Prom or a dance, I don't know which one, and you said no. I 
understand your reasoning now but that made me think that you 
weren't really interested.
     Navajo-blanket-beeldlei
Question Time!!!
     -What were your first thoughts of me and my hyper self?
     -What are your hours normally?
     -Favorite Navajo word? BESIDES BINIINAA! :)
     -Favorite High School memory?
     -When does the second Hobbit come out?
     
     Well I better go. Until next time, Hagonet!

Dear Jessica,

and 2) it would be a COMPLETE LIE!!! But thank you none-the-

Dear Jessica,
     I'm glad to hear that you found an apartment! Just make sure 
you give me your address or it will be a sad day indeed! :) How's 
your new job? Best and worst part?
     Lol, ya I'm still "mad" about the boogeyman thing, I guess I'll 
just have to deal with it. :) AND "BINIINAA" IS NOT A REASON!!!!! 
Yes, I do recall you being quite good at picking people out of a crowd. 
On a side note remind me never to play you in "Where's Waldo". :)
     Navajo- where does it hurt?- Haadi neezgai?
     -I like Alma 26 because Ammon is just praising God for everything! 
I just love it!
     -The nicest thing a friend has ever done for me is honestly spend 
time with me and show/tell me that they enjoy me being around them.

the greatest feeling ever.

will never meet in this life.

one down that you didn't. "A Treasure in Heaven, The John Tanner

Dear Jessica, 
     Wow! You are a lot nicer than I am! I would've asked more 
questions in the second letter! :) I was soooo happy to hear 
that you got a new job! Especially since it's a vampire job. :) :)
     Having "missionary brain" and having to write more people 
than you is no excuse for asking questions that I have already 
asked!!! But, I guess it will have to do. :)   
     My favorite picture of Christ is of him with the child on his 
lap and him holding the butterfly. :) In five years I hope to be 
married, graduated from BYU, be a USMC Infantry Officer 
(2nd Lieutenant), and be in the Police Force (Preferably on a SWAT 
Team). If I had my dream dog it would be named...that's a good 
question......I've thought about it for like 5 minutes and 
still have no clue. Probably Tyr. :) My perfect day would be spent 
with my wife and family doing an activity that we all love. What 
color of tie do I want/need/think would be awesome? Oh, I don't 
care ;) my favorite color would be cool, but whatever. ;) Hehehehe. 
Favorite thing to eat while camping, hands down is peppered beef 
jerky! Even more than s'mores. :) Lastly, no I don't ever run out 
of questions! MWAHAHAHAHA!!! :)
My Turn!!!
-What has influenced your life the most in the past year? How?
-What is your favorite quote? Why?
-If you had 6 kids what would their names be, gender, and age 
order? :)
-Favorite color of sticky note? :) :)
Homework Time.
     If you would be willing, please send me a picture of a constellation. 
Meaning, if you could create a constellation, what would it look like? 
Please include a title. :) I guess I will let that be all for now. :)
      Navajo: sodizin- prayer
     Until next time. Have a be-awesomely fantastic week! Hagonet!

Dear Jessica,
     I really enjoy hearing about your life. I'm so glad you 
enjoy being a "vampire". :) Trust me your life is not boring 
to me. And there are 6 females mentioned in the Book of 
Mormon: Abish, Sarah, Sariah, Mary, Eve, &...Isabell. :)
     My favorite chapter in the Book of Mormon is Alma 26. 
But because you didn't ask why we'll leave it at that. :) 
What do I cherish? The Gospel. My life right now is complete. 
Because I'm serving the Lord I am happy. :) What do I yearn 
for? Now, for the people I teach to accept the gospel. Favorite 
tradition as a family, Christmas morning. My dad gets up and 
makes "mountain man breakfast" then we spend the day as 
a family. Love, is what makes a house a home. 
     I'm surprised you gave mercy with the questions. I wouldn't! 
:)
     For your information, my dad is now engaged. Just thought 
you might want to know. :)
     Navajo lesson- dikos- cough. :) Just for you and your medically
minded self. :)
     WE'VE BEEN FRIENDS LONGER THAN A YEAR!!! It's been like 
2 years. True I didn't get/steal your number until last year but 
still. :) I'm still so mad that you found out! It was gonna be 
AWESOME! No, no it was gonna be BE-AWESOME! But you just 
had to spoil it didn't you. :P :) I'm glad our friendship means a 
lot to you. It means a lot to me too. :D
Don't forget the back :) :) :)
It's my favorite part! :)
Question Time!!!
-How important are journals to you? Why?
-List your favorite from most to least. Ring, earring, necklace.
-What has been the hardest question I have asked?
-Favorite color of sticky note?
-Watch the October Conference from 2009. I'm in there. Find me.
:) :) hehehe
-Favorite 3 colors of jewelry? :)
-Favorite church video? Why?
-What do you think of when I write, cars chasing? :)
     I hope you have a fantastic week! Until next time, Hagonet!
