My dearest family!!,
elder houston here! fine and dandy! ha. hey thanks so much for the package i got it and everything made it safe the brownies were lil crusty but hey ! i aint complaning haha they were way good. oh just a little heads up they have cream of rice here in springfield so you dont got to send any more:) hahah ive got it coming out my ears haha but thanks so much it all helps.
and sorry! i didnt get my suprise out to you!!! i totally ran out of time hopefully i will get you it this week ha hopefully. oh and ya! i have been able to talk to drew for a while now ! thats so crazy he on his way home already!!! if you guys get to see him you should say hi to him for me!!! oh and before i forget to ask, i was wondering how colton tieman and jake flores was doing i wrote the flores a while back but have not got a letter yet, hope they still doing good oh and trevor shroder!!!?? how is he? i was thinking about that guy the other day.

well all is still doing great here in chesterfield things have acually been picking up alot, like we have this recent converts daughter that we going to start teaching soon. she got up and bore her testimony yesterday and it was the first time i think i have ever heard a non member do that haha. she said even tho i am not baptized ..yet haha it was so awesome!! was the most powerful testimony i have heard in a while it was great ! i love fast sundays. her family has been through so much, though it is so amazing to see how much our Heavenly Fathers gospel has blessed their family. like so her dads name is kirk and he is the recent convert of like a year and few months. him and his wife got in a divorce a while back and he met this other lady, sister hanes. they were sealed in the temple for time and all eternity just this friday. to see how happy they are now and now kirks daughter is changing and seeing and feeling the power of these divine truths she is now wanting to join. and kirks ex wife who was so anti mormon is reading the book of mormon and want to learn!
the power of the holy ghost is so real and it will always testify of what is true and bear witness of our loving Father in Heaven and His Son. it has been such a wonderful blessing to see the Lords work and being able to be sealed to our families for eternity! what love He has for us !!! i love seeing His gospel spread and bless the lifes of others and as i work to build his kingdom he is building me to be a better me :)
i love you all so much!! thank you for being the best family anyone could ever ask for im so greatful that He loves us enough to be able to be sealed together and grow and learn together as a family. such a blessing i love you all so much ! keep up the faith! with it miracals will happen.

ether 12:12 and moroni 7:27-31. hope that all made since was typing fast ha love ya !!
love elder houston
