Subject: Bleeding honey²  Hey friends, and family. Here's an email for you. While serving in the lovely land of North Carolina I have learned two valuable lessons.  The first lesson is that taco bell has a menu item called the Supreme mega crunchwrap.  It's a tortilla, with taco shells inside, and sour cream and lettuce and meat and some cheese. It is like 5.99 or something like that.  The second valuable lesson is that the Supreme crunch wrap from taco bell absolutely sucks.  Lately in my free time I've been learning new algorithms on my rubixs cube which has proven to be very challenging for a smooth brain like me.  If anyone wants to learn how to do the "R" perm it is this R U' R' U' R U R D R' U'  Yes.  The next thing i wanted to discuss was that there are approximately four and a half people in our zip code and me and Elder Phillips are 2 of them. We have been finding finding and finding. Its probably much like my twins situation in Missouri. The best thing to do is to find when you teach and to teach when you find. I was going to explain what that means but I'm pretty sure yall can figure it out.  I know that prayer truly works too. We pray all the time as missionaries. At first I thought it to be unnecessary, but i believe that it helps. It's God's work, we just have to be tools in His hands. I'm proud to tell you that I'm working hard and I'm trying to help people the best way that I can to feel happy. I think that is all.

 Subject: I have sinned



Yeah I have not sent an email out for many moons, and now I must do so

I have been doing well here in Sanford area, it's been kind of a diligent grind, what can I say. I'm honestly a very very tired man so you're lucky ur even getting an email. Forgive me.

Anyways I have done a lot of laundry this week, and I don't know why, I think I have lost some of my clothes and shirts, so my circle of clothes keeps getting smaller, which in turn means I wear the same clothes more often. Granted I do wear the same tie everyday, but I doesn't get as dirty as quickly. I am just a dirty man. I break stuff and I ruin stuff. People who know me know this. I tend to ruin things around me. Its like a gift basically. 

I have seen many miracles from working hard and the moments have been grand and old. I wish i could give you some wise words but all I got are a few quotes that I found and I like. 

I know everyone has different situations but hopefully these will help someone 

"Compare yourself to who you were yesterday, not who someone else is today"

"Living in the past is depression, living in the future is anxiety, the only good way to live is in the present"

"The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago, the 2nd best time is now"

"You may be the sweetest peach on the tree, but some people just don't like peaches" 

Bye guys -elder bush
