Sorry I hit the send button but here is the first part of my email. Well this week went good. We had a pretty tough schedule again with all the interviews and also I had my despida as a missionary.  I still haven’t had my interview yet but we went to the temple and had a marriage talk and all that and basically we have to get married asap when we get home haha.  Well also we taught a few lessons. I had the opportunity to go to a place called Kanasin and it was pretty sweet.  We taught a lady and her daughter and they are super chosen.  Also, I went to Caucel and it was kinda a sad experience. Well I went to a converts house and the husband who was super strong has changed completely.  He has gone pretty much backwards.  It is all because he is not spiritual anymore.  It was truly sad and I felt so bad for him.  They were going to get sealed but I don’t think that will be happening anytime soon.  I really did feel sad but hopefully he will go back because he said he would.  It was sad because with most of the members I meet, I don’t feel too bad saying goodbye because I know if we are both faithful, we will see each other again but with this guy, I don’t know what will happen and I told him.  Hopefully he will get back to the right path. 

Well that experience just made me feel scared/nervous for if that type of thing happens to someone in our family or to one of my kids that would be pretty sad. Well I know we have to be faithful to the covenants so that we can be happy in our lives. Well I love you lots. 

Elder Coffman

Wow that is exciting news about Trevor and Tanner!  They will be very good missionaries.  I am glad they are going out, especially Trevor.  Well that is good they went.  So how are you doing? Are you still exercising?  That would be good.  Well I hope you are all well in the house.  I will be home soon. I really don’t have too much to say but I love you lots.

Michelle that is good you are doing well and that you went boating, I miss going boating  but yeah we will have to go when we get home.  But what is this that you flew off?  Did you go to efy or I guess it is called fsy?  We did an activity there and it was pretty sweet.

Hey family.  Well this week was good.  We went and did divisions with a lot of elders again except this time we went with pdte in the interviews.  While one of us was reviewing agendas and area books and maps, the other 2 were in divisions. It was pretty good.  It was kinda weird though because I think I went to Campeche for the last time in my mission or maybe even my life. Pretty interesting, but yeah I am doing fine. People are trying to make me feel trunky but I try not to think about home too much.  The time will come when I can think about it but for now, I will try and focus on the task at hand.  Well that is good mc had her b-day.  I remembered it and I said happy b-day here in Mexico. idk if you heard me mc but happy bday. You are 14 now right? hahajk. 

Well the weeks keep going by faster and faster.  We need to make the best of our time in our lives. I think one of the best ways to know how the Lord wants us to use our time is to be found in the scriptures.  I wanna invite you guys to read 2 Nephi 9 and Alma 34 this week to know what the Lord wishes of us. 

Well it sounds like things are going good and thanks for writing me.  I hope you have a great week family and sorry the letter is short.  We don’t have a lot of time because we have to prepare a presentation for efy tomorrow with the president. Well I love you guys a lot and hope the best week ever passes this week adios

Hello mother. wow that could be really cool if Stephen came to Weber.  That would be good. It is a good school.  So that sounds fun with the bike. I am looking forward to working out when I get home and eating healthy because really there is a lot of bad stuff we eat that I wouldn’t eat if  I was on my own. So you say it is pretty hot there? Here it is as well. But it rains a lot so that is nice. So you finished with the Book of Mormon? That is good.  How is the family doing with the 5 things I wrote about last week?  It is really important and I know that we will be blessed if we help the Lord out with hastening the work of the Lord.  That would be good.  So I hope all is well with y’all in Utah.  I don’t have much to say this week but if I think of something I will let ya know.  adios
