I love you!!

My family,

I am doing well!! This is late -- I have been taking care of a missionary who just had a concussion. Don't worry -- all is well. I am only telling you this so that you know why I'm writing this short message after 7 o'clock my time. He's doing alright, you can ask me later. I love these missionaries, and they are a high priority.

I am fine, the work here is amazing, my companion is wonderful, our friend Angelo is such an AMAZING convert!!!! He was baptized this weekend, and he is absolutely incredible!!!!! He is such a prepared person, and he has such strong desires to please the Lord and to share the gospel!!! I'm just so blown away by my friend Angelo!!!

This is a poem Pte Pace just send me:

Hoe to the End of the Row!

Bill Brown made a million,

Bill Brown, think of that.

That boy you remember,

As poor as a rat.

He hoed for the neighbors,

Did jobs by the day.

And Bill made a million,

Or near it they say.

He worked for my father,

You’ll maybe recall.

He wasn’t a wonder,

Not that, not at all.

He couldn’t out-hoe me,

Or cover more ground,

Or hoe any faster,

Or beat me around.

In fact, I was better

In one way that I know.

One toot from the kitchen

And home I would go.

But Bill Brown always hoed

To the end of the row.

We used to get hungry

Out there in the corn.

You talk about music,

What equals a horn?

A horn yellin’ dinner,

And tomatoes and beans,

And pork and potatoes,

And gravy and greens.

I ain’t blamin’ no one

For quittin’ on time.

To quit with the whistle,

That ain’t any crime.

But as for the million,

Well, this much I know.

Bill Brown always hoed

To the end of the row.

I've got a lot of row still ahead of me!! I am not stopping with the whistle -- I'm going to the end of the row!!! My Savior did, Joseph Smith did, all of you always have, and I'm 100% dependent on the Lord who is giving me the strength to follow His example!!

I love you!
