I am so proud of everyone back home, and I am really happy for Gregory graduating and Corban being baptised. And wow, Justin is doing awesome, I am so honored to be his brother, just like Gregory, I could always feel like Justin would be great, I am glad that God chose me to be his brother. I had the same feeling to have president give me a blessing, this week we will have interviews, when I go there to do my interviews I will ask president for a blessing. Other news, I have been transfered, for the first time in my mission I have been transfered away from the frontier of the church. I am in an area that is kinda close to Rio Largo, but still in the city of Maceió, The church is really strong where |I am serving, I feel surrounded by members and missionaries, there is a streat in my area that everyone calls "Mormon streat" because almost the entire streat is a part of our church, and the ones that are not are preparing to be baptised. I love my new area, and I am going to ask president to visit Rio Largo, this past week I have recieved a lot of calls from Rio Largo, it has been awesome!! I love you guys, and I hope the best for everyone, keep up the prayers for my hand, it helps soooo much, I can feel the difference!! -Elder McOMber

I am so happy for Gregory, I am really happy that he has these moments to shine and make a difference in his own way.  And wow, Gracie is graduating, time goes by fast on the mission!!  I hope my hand gets better before I go home so that we can sing while I play the ukulele, Gracie is an awesome cousin, it will be cool to see her again in the future. 

     Tell Akosh that he is the man!!  I love that kid, he started making a difference at a really young age and I am sure he is going to have a bright future!!  Give him a hug for me!

       Hey send a hug to Derek too, that is awesome that he wrote a song and sang it, Tell him that I still think of the good times when we had our meetings in chairopolis and when I hung out at his house for a week, I miss S1 sometimes, but it is no big deal us splitting up is part of s1 going worlwide, we are already spread over 2 continents!haha

Well, I love you all, keep running, our time speedily cometh! haha

Dear Christian,

 Tonight was Baccalaureate For Gregory. He performed his sign song and had two paintings at it. Mom was a co chair. I helped a little with the program. Akosh was the MC. Gregory walks on Tuesday. If you send a message to Akosh I'll give him a copy. I told him I thought his name was Maiman Akosh because you always said My Man Akosh. He said you were the reason he stayed at SYB. He got the presidential scholarship. Derek wrote a song and sang it. President Tanner gave the benediction. The rest of the week has been Grease at XXX. and Peter Pan. Gregory had an art show at the Library for his senior project. We made amazing discoveries. Everyone came. He felt so special. He knew it was for him!!!!! He actually stood up and laughed at one point. Hre had about 15 paintings there. Gracie graduated yesterday. She and Aunt Katy Grandad,Jane Grandma,and Grandpa came.Grandpa recorded it so you can watch it when you come back.
 Efforts in sharing continue. I love love love love love you!!!!!
Dad

OH, Christian,

All the efforts for baccalaureate were so so so worth it!  I was getting some push back, but it was soooo great!  I feel so strongly that doing this is worth the effort and time.  It was brought to pass so well because we were involved.  I know that sounds prideful but it is not.  It is just the truth.  The spirit was brought into the meeting.  We worked so hard on a number that was absolutely amazing. You would be so proud.  Gregory did great on his signing song, and the program was really, really good.  You would be proud.  I made a lot of good friends from other churches, and it was meaningful to volunteer as chair for the event in something I truly believe in.  There are so many ways to volunteer, but this one really means something to me.  I am so happy to be a part of it.

We are having a ton of baptisms this year in our ward.  So many people are having discussions in their homes.  It is exciting to watch.  I am going to encourage someone to try it out.  I am going to start praying specifically about that tonight.

Gregory has his day to "walk" for graduation on Tuesday.  I hope it goes well.  We have a plan to have one teacher on one side of the stage, and another on the other, and the are hoping he will walk across independently.  It is at the Key Arena again.  A nice location.

I am now going to be able to do a bit more organizing at the house here and then go into summer after this week. I am so ready for summer.  This year has flown by.  I don't know if that is the way you feel, but when you are busy doing good things, time goes quickly.  Our time speedily cometh!

I did Joseph and the Amazing Technicolored Dreamcoat at my school.  It was a lot of fun and a big success.  I love doing work while teaching about the Bible and Jesus.  What could be better?

I love you so much, Christian.  Every day this week has been a busy, crazy one, but every day I listened to you sing to me.

Thank you for being who you are. I have spoken about you so much and shared the good news of your mission.  You make me proud and just keep that up!

I love you and I look forward to going back with you and sharing joy, not just fun, not just a good time, but true JOY.

You are so wonderful, keep up the good work.

Make me proud,

MA
