Hello Family,
Scripture of the week: James 1:2-3, 12, 17
Man it seems like i just talked to you on the phone the other day... oh wait maybe thats because i did. Wasnt that wonderful? Holy poop though i just still cant wrap my mind around how grown up lou is. She is going to be such a beautiful girl. My remarks about sitting on the porch with a gun were not at all a joke. I too thought of lots i still wanted to tell you but thats ok. if i tell you everything now what will we talk about when i get home?
Sounds like all went well for the holidays on the home front. So neat that you get to spend so much time with ashty. Sad sis had to leave early, but she will be blessed for being so responsible. i was sitting at the polls last night for missionary coordination meeting when i got sister bennetts text. That is so cool you got to meet them. Arent they so wonderful? They are literally the back bone of member missionary work in the Essex ward.
Speaking of the Essex ward... Brian was confirmed yesterday as the newest member of the Essex ward. He is such a good guy.
So ya know how i call brother seay grandpa seay? well he has just started calling me grandson, its pretty awesome. We had dinner with them last night. Not to boast but i feel pretty special because they didnt use to have the missionaries over very often at all.
Email is a bit later this week cause we just had a huge nerf gun war with the ward mission leader and his family. It was super fun. I forgot to bring my camera to get any pictures though. I also realized the other day that i went all the way through christmas with out taking a single picture. Oh well.
So the amount of support I’ve gotten from people on the home front this season is incredible. I will not have time to write thank you notes, heck I didn’t even have time to make Christmas cards. So I thought I would just thank everyone on here and if they read my email then they will know they are thanked!

So you saw the picture of Elder Quinn and i. Well heres a little more about him. He is 6'8" From california, and has a spot on the byu football team waiting for him when he gets home. Such an awesome kid. We tried to convince president that he had made a mistake and he was supposed to be my companion. But of course we were just kidding and president knows what he is doing. There is something i am sure im supposed to learn from this current companionship. As cute as elder quinn is i guarantee he wont be the cutest one when i get home, you punks!

| Elder Quinn, and Quinton |
That is so wonderful the pack got er done once again. Its all rogers he is the key. Also so great usu got the win and buy lost. elder quinn was a bit upset about that one.
So a few weeks ago down at leadership training i gave elder quinn a haircut, and everyone said it looked really good. So now everyone in the mission wants an elder zilles haircut. I may need to start charging money. I am cutting three elders hair tonight.
Saturday we went to Molly Brook Farm. Nothing too special there, but it was just good to be in a barn again. I loved the barn set up though. the best animal i saw was a september calf. youll never guess who her sire was... Premier. Youll have to tell wynn that he makes good ones even in the sticks of Vermont. The owner thought it was pretty cool he was bred pretty much in our back yard.
Tell dusty he better be careful. Glad he had a good report though. i knew there was a reason they dont let missionaries have guns.
Well i think thats all ive got today.
Love you guys
Hold to the rod
Elder Toner
