Dear Mom,
I am super stoked for the dessert
stuff because that stuff is amazing. (We told him we were sending him some
Ultimate Cookie Bars from the wedding).
Sadly my health has not been the greatest as of late, it hasn’t been bad,
but not great. Most days I feel decent
to good so that is nice but every once in a while it gets a little difficult. I do think riding bikes helps unless I am
already not feeling very good, than not so much... But, all in all things are
going great.
I am still in the place I was born,
Cumberland Spanish. I will be here with
my companion till next transfer which is the beginning of October. I will be out for 6 months shortly and I am
freaking out! It has flown by so fast
and I can not even believe it. They all
say it just picks up even more speed, they say the first 6 months feels like a
year, which has definitely been true on some fronts. Then the next year will feel like 6 months,
so that I am not looking forward too.
Then the last 6 months will feel as if 6 weeks.... That is just one of
the analogies. Overall it just means it
goes flying by even faster. The thing I
have seen is that the days seem like weeks and the weeks seem like days.
My jeans they fit as of about 4 weeks
ago, but they continue to get smaller it seems and I am sure that they will
continue to do so. (I asked him if all the biking had made his jeans too small in the
thigh) I also can do like 4 pull ups
now Booyahh, from 0 to 4 in like 10 weeks!! I will take that.
(I
also asked him if he had all the information regarding his upcoming Doctors
appointment with the GI there at the University of Indiana
On the mission front, not a lot has
changed besides me not going anywhere on transfers. Sister Ivonne and Bro Jesus as well as
their two boys will be baptized sometime in September I believe. That is good and I am excited for that. Other
than that not much has changed, oh we do have to stay on bikes for the rest of
this week because the people we are sharing our car with are going to transfer
meetings and need it, although I believe we will be getting a car sometime in
September. Which is good because even though bikes aren’t too bad, our area
takes a hit because of its size, and the fact that it takes too long to bike to
the investigators and then from one to the other. Things will continue to get better I think,
especially since Elder Hjelm and I are getting into the swing of things.
Well I am burning down my time and
have not much left so I love you all so much, and tell Brooklyn to keep practising volleyball and if she does she will get into it next year. If she has any of my same genes she will be
awesome hahaha, because I played all the time in the MTC, although lets face it
I stunk, but it was fun anyway. Well I
love you all so much and you are constantly in my prayers, Love you all and I
can't wait to hear from you next week.
Love, your son, Elder Paxman
Excerpt from his letter to Bailee:
(She
had told him she made a really good dinner for her and Kyle on the honeymoon
and that they had played with almost life size checkers)Ok, first what did you make him
chicken noodle soup??? BAHAHAHA. I laughed when you said you forgot how to play
checkers because it took me a second to remember the rules and by a second I
mean like 10 min!! Also how did you move the pieces are they heavy or do you
like kick them because the are like a giant hockey puck? Also the chess pieces
made it even funnier in my minds eye. Oh and squeaky cheese is awesome, I
forgot how to spell squeaky because Spanish is killing my English so sorry if
it is wrong.
Well it sounds like you are going to
be way busy at school and stuff, it will go wel,l just remember to follow god
and he will never lead you astray. I love you so much and I can't wait to hear
of all the crazy stuff that happens next week. You and Kyle are both in my
prayers on a daily basis and I hope and pray everything will just continue to
get better, Well I love you so much and I cant wait to hear from you next week.
Love, your little bro, Elder Paxman
Tell Kyle I love him too.
Excerpt from letter to Dad:
The mission President is awesome, I
had interviews with him for the first time a few weeks ago and it was
amazing. He said something very
profound, he said that it could be the very reason I was sent to Indian to
serve was so I could meet this Doctor. I
thought that was a very interesting thought.
Overall I am loving it out here on the mission and it seems I grow to
love it more and more. Dad, I love you and you are in my prayers always,
I am excited to hear form you shortly and I love you and the family so much.
Love, tu hijo, Elder Paxman
