Hey Mom!
 
Ah man it is so good to hear how things are going. i especially liked hearing about Kaden. I seiously can't believe how much I miss him. Every single day I have one of his songs stuck in my head. It is weird, because they often come to me when I am teaching. His songs are incredible, and they will always be engraved into my heart. I tell my companion and my roommates about him all of the time, I think they get a little bit tired of hearing about it. I feel like kaden with his obsession for Cody... I love you buddy! Keep writing those songs, and don't forget ours, because you are singing it to me in two years! As for becoming a Priest, don't waste one second! You are called to be the Priest. It may seem insignificant, but the Lord needs you as a Priest right now. If you don't feel ready, then get ready right now, because becoming a priest and living up to your priesthood will bless your life more than anything else right now. You can do it bud!
 
So this week I got a few really nice letters. I got a letter from Marci Soto, Bethany, Aunt Brittani, Grandma Linda, Grandpa Steve, Dad, and I got all of your Dear Elders! Thank you for writing me, and thank you so much for the Cinnimon rolls! They were awesome! It was really nice to hear from everyone, and I hope you all know that I love you! Grandpa sent me some money, and a really nice card. I love him so much. If I read the letter right, he said that he was going to read the Book of Mormon that I gave him. It made me tear up. I am amazed at what the Lord can do to touch peoples lives. I plan to write him today, but either way, please tell him thank you for me and that I love him so much. They really don't give us much time on P-day, so I will do my best to write everyone back. But just in case, please tell everyone that I truly Love and appreciate them.
 
Mom, I love you and I am so thankful for everything that you have done for me. I have come to realize more and more what you and dad have done for me in my life, and I will be forever thankful. I am going to really try and write you and dad a letter today. I am just pressured on time. I have learned so much since I have been here. This week I finally discovered why I am out here. I have spent a lot of time trying to figure out why this mission means so much to me, I just haven't been able to put my fingure on it. This week during class, I found the answer to my question. I LOVE THE LORD. That is it. I have been so blessed to have the Gospel of Jesus Christ in my life. How can I keep this to myself?? I want to share this incredible knowlege and blessing with everyone that I meet! I want them to know of the love that God truly has for them. I am sorry, but I am out of time. Mom, Dad, Kaden, Easton, Dawson, Jaymin, and Calvin, I love you all so much! Thank you for being my loving family! Keep me posted!
 
Love your Brother, Son, and Friend,
Elder Dallin Lyman
