Hey Mom
Thanks so much for the great package! i sure loved it , and me and my companion are really enjoying the candy. Everything is going really well here mom. I cant believe time is going so fast. Gentrys already going on a mission ! thats pretty amazing! I am the one that felt like a million bucks with that package you guys sent with all of the cards. This last week was a tough one, Its been raining for 4 days straight! But besides that everythings is going good.This week we were asked to give a blessing for a guy that hasent eaten or talked for 5 days. He is pretty much waiting for death, i think he was depressed or something, but mom ive never seen anyone as close to death as that man did laying there. But i gave the blessing and i know that the spirit spoke through me. He didnt get up after the prayer or any great miracal like that, to tell you the truth i dont know what happened to him because we left right after the blessing. But i know that i left it up to him and the lord. I sure love you mom and im learning a lot here. Some hard lessons some times but its helping become who i must become.

Thanks so much for the great package! i absolutly loved it . I will be set for the rest of the mission now dad, Thanks so much for the sacrifice you guys made to put it together. Dad thanks so much for your continuing support. This past week, I have reflected a lot on death, and our lifes here on the earth. I had a question put infront of me in the book of mormon that asked , if you were to meet the strains of death in this very instant, would you be ready to meet your great lord and savior. ( Alma 5:27) And other things happened this week that has really troubled me . If i was scared to die, what it would be like , if i really am ready. I answered my question like this, These past few weeks i havent really thought that my work was good enough. I really dont know if i would be ready to meet my great lord and savior now. But i want to live so that i am more and more confident everyday. I thank you so much dad for your great support. You are pushing me so well. And tell the whole Rowland Family thank you so much for those wonderful cards. I loved them , Sounds like you had a great time at the family reunion. I love you Dad.

Thanks so much for what you said. You probably do not know this but you recieved ispiration. I was being really troubled this last week because of death and things like that. Me and my companion were looking for this investigators house. and on the map he lived about at the end of the world. So we went there and on the way we saw the town cemetary. I have never seen something like that in my life. Everyone is buried above the ground, some people even have houses. But i noticed something about the feeling i felt there. I felt an emptyness. a weird feeling. And i started to think, how hard would it be to die? Am i ready? Am i sufficianty prepared. And then other things happened that week that was made me think even more in death. I am sincerlly greatful, for life after death. This life is tough, And like you said there are so many people that shape us into what we are today. I was reading about what happened to you, and as i was, i felt that you did the right thing ash. Dont worry, everything will turn out fine for you. There is so much happening in the world today ash, the advisary is increasing his forces. The lord needs you more than ever. It is tuff , this life, but it can be made so much lighter if the light of the gosple is in your life. I love you ash, im so proud of your dicision to serve, your very brave. Thank you for your example.

How happy i am to hear that you are going to serve in the same wonderful contry as me. I cant tell you what a help you have given me in the work. My companion tells me that your mission is really white and ready to harvest. i really cant beleive that youll be speaking a little bit of portuguese with me. Its pretty funny that you got your call really close to the day i did. Elder Madril is serving in the mission right next to yours Sâo Paulo Leste. And tell maddy i think i screamed just as loud as she did when i found out where you were going . When will you be heading out? And what are you thinking about you call. I know that you will get the language just fine. I know that Brasil is going to be a wonderful blessing for you and for our family, and especially the families that are waiting for you in São Paulo Interlogos. What a blessing it is to have such a wonderful family. I really do Love you All so much. Please forgive me for not writing as much as possible. I will Write way more i promise.

It was so awesome to talk to you guys on the phone on mothers day. You guys are so wonderful. I was so happy for the blessing that the lord is pouring over your heads. My feelings were so full that i lost it pretty good at the end there. But what a neat thing it is to have you guys. I was Astonished at Ashleys decision. I could not be more happy for her. The things that she is going to do , the people that she is going to touch. I feel a lot like Ammon, who when he ran into his brothers who were still his brothers in the gosple, was so filled with joy that he fell to the ground. What neat blessing are coming from the lord. It was kindof funny, but today me and my companion were cleaning our house, the outside because we are moving from that one. But this Huge triantula spider popped out of no where , crawling on my trousers. I will have to send you pictures of the big guy. Tell everyone how much i love them one more time.
Love you dad.
