9/20 email BABY BO BO'S BDAY!!!

Holy cow, i am no longer a teenager anymore! Haha isn't that kinda amazing?! And its kinda nice to, because i can say I'm at least in the same age group as Megan, haha so now i don't seem so young right?:) I am already having an amazing bday. First we went to the temple with elder cook and stoker. Wow the Palmyra temple is awesome mom. We all have to come back sometime and go there. It is sooooooo small but it is awesome. It is the only temple with see through glass, and you can see right out to the sacred grove from the temple. It is sweet. And the celestial room in Palmyra is my favorite one i have been too. It is awesome there are stained glass all around of trees to make it look like the sacred grove. It was pretty much amazing. Man i love the temple. :) And then after that we went to this pizza place called nima's right in Palmyra. And it was mega good. Haha i loved it, and i went to this church store there and bought a replica 1830 book of mormon, and 1835 doctrine and covenants. They are pretty amazing. And now i am emailing you, and after this we are all going to go out bowling, and frank is coming along too with another one of our investigators. And then we dinner tonight at the wyatts at 6, and then the baker family is having me come over at 730 for my bday cake! Haha so i have got a pretty amazing bday planned. I am so happy and grateful for everyone that is making this day so good for me. :)

I haven't gotten your packages yet, but i have been in canandaigua all day and won't get home till tonight! But i bet they are there. I got the package from gma and gpa, haha and i was so pumped for the pink cookies and the memory card. That was very nice of them. Oh and for transfers, i am stayin here in Geneva for another 6 weeks with Elder Westley again. I am pretty excited about that, i wanted to stay here for sure. Elder Westley is a pretty cool guy, he has been out on his mission for about 13 months now and he is from virginia. We work really well together so that really good. Haha we are tryin our best working with Chris the 13 year old but something crazy happened with his family this last week. Now his brother is in jail and all this crazy stuff, so things are a little rough over there but we are still working with him. Ray and Jacinda Johnson are doing amazing! They have both quit smoking now, and are at church every week and read and pray together every day. They are doing so amazing and Rays baptism date is still for October 9th! I know he'll make it and those 2 working together is just awesome. They want to go to the temple and get sealed together pretty bad, and i think that is something they will be able to do real soon. :) Yup and of course Frank is still taking care of us like always haha. He is amazing mom. He is really like the most Christlike Person i have ever met in my entire life. SO he is looking out for us and taking good care of us.

Well i am glad i finally heard something about sam. You guys had me worried for a little bit. But things will be ok, and you guys will have to keep me posted with everything that is going on with her. Haha i am finally sending pictures home today since i got the new memory card, sorry for being a bum with sending the pictures, but i think you will like these. I'm glad too that jess went to church with megan, and that you guys got to go have dinner with drew and tarah again. How is maddux my little buddy, and how is reese the little cutie?! I love them so much.
Alright momma i will give you some love extra little help with the ward. I'm sorry that things are different now since everyone is kinda gone, and things may be a little different with shauna, but all of that doesn't matter just like you said mom. It is not about all the relationships and friends at church, they are very important and the ward should be reaching out, but it all boils down to your relationship with God, momma. He loves you so much, and he wants you there and he wants you to be happy. :) Start going with a fresh outlook at it, don't think about the family not being there or not having as many friends there, but go looking for personal revelation! Like have a question and pray about it, and have faith and know that going to church you will receive and answer and just feel better. I'm sorry mom i know it is tough sometimes, but you can do you are the bomb haha. Mom i feel like a stripling warrior, you have been the best mom in the world and have taught me pretty much all i know. And because of you i don't doubt or fear because you taught me to go to church. So just keep being amazing alright? Read Alma 56:47-48. That's about the amazing moms.

I'm sorry i know i never give enough good details about what is going on but sometimes it is so hard to remember, keep asking questions like in the beginning so i have to think to answer those! I love you so much mom and i hope you guys aren't too bored without me at home for my bday! I love you guys so much and i'll hear form you next week!

Love,

Elder Ingram
