Hello family!! So good to hear from you :) We have been having so many miracles happening in Dayton and i love it so much! And as i told you last week, I have another son :) His name is Elder Litster, from.... Tooele, Utah!!! He is so awesome!!!! We have figured out that we are completely opposite. We pretty much have nothing in common, we like to do all of the different things, but we have one thing in common... We love to share the gospel. He is a computer nerd that went to school for computer science, and is way way way into computer and all sorts of video games. He is 23 years old, and learned to ride his bike a week before entering the MTC. Crazy right!?!?!? Now i can't use the term, it's just like riding a bike. Because he hardly knows how!! It's great though because now i get to teach him. The bike that he started on was too big for him, so you will never guess what happened.... Wait you probably did.. He fell off. 3 times. So i was like alright Elder, do you have money? And he said yeah, so i told him, we are getting you a bike that fits you. We immediately went to the bike shop, bought him a bike that fits, and then we went back to the bike training. He now know's how to start on his bike, and also stop! He's making great progress. He says this yesterday, "It's starting to feel like driving a car, where i hardly have to think about turning, i just do it now." He falls off when he turns, he falls off when he starts, and he falls off when he stops. It's hilarious. Luckily he can laugh about it because i laugh everytime i see it happen. I always ride in front of him and i hear, "oh crap!" (bike crashing and body hitting the ground) So i turn around and help him up. He's slowly learning, but there are angels riding the bike with him everywhere he goes so that is amazing. :)
I have learned a lot of patience this week. He is awesome, so it makes it okay that he struggles. We get along so good, and we love to work hard together. But i realized that i could rush him, tell him to ride faster, and make him hate it. Or, i could go at his pace and help him to love it. I have taken that route because i realize it's going to be a long mission if he hates riding his bike the whole time. :) I guess that is why God has allowed me to train him!! As well as him training me :)
For thanksgiving we went to dinner with all the "Homo's" Says Mario. We went to the convention center downtown where they feed all the homeless people or people who just want to eat on thanksgiving :) That was us, with Brother Smith and Rob "Mario". Mario calls them Homo's because he cant say his "B's" and he is trying to say Hobo's. It's hilarious!! Speaking of Homo dinners, we have dinner with Mario tomorrow and we are having Homo dinners!! (Hobo dinners) ((tin foil dinners))
Thank you so much for your love and support!!!!
Godspeed!!!

Mario is a member, and he is 47 years old, but has the mental capacity of a 6 year old. He is sooooooo awesome, i can't wait till you come here to meet him in a year. He sends Pday raps, where he records a voicemail and sends it to us and plays music and sings and raps to it, it's so funny :) we also pray with him every night, he calls us and says, who's turn tonight :) haha
