I am doing great. I am working hard to get up on time and go running
before the vault. Today was the first time in 3 weeks I haven't been
up before 5:30 am but it is my Temple and Research day. I will be
working on trying to figure out where Leo James Gonyer was born and
who his parents are.  I found a census record that says Leo was
Marshall and Katherine Thibodeau's son, but I am still searching. I
love the feeling when you find a record that solves a family mystery.
I love the work that I am doing. It is the work of the Savior and is a
huge part of the Plan of Salvation. I am so glad I am serving in the
Family and Church History Headquarters Mission. I love the people I
work with at the Vault. I work in one of the very few places in the
world that I would be safe from a nuclear war. It is 100% Bomb proof
and everything proof. I serve at the Granite Mountain Records Vault.
It is such an honor to be able to work at the GMRV because only six
young elders in the whole world get the opportunity to serve there at
one time. Well I am doing great and I am working hard. I hope all is
well on the home front. I am glad to see that Molly is doing Fantastic!
She looks Great! Thank you for your support. I love you all. Thank you
for everything you do.

Well I am doing fantastic. I am working my hardest at the Granite Mountain Records Vault. I get up at 5:30 every day go for a run and then get ready to leave to go get the van by 6:45. then Elder Umphress and I go pick up the Rest of the Elders and then we go pick up Elder and Sister Neel who are the seniors that work up there with us. I am working hard and I just lost my best mission friend. He went home because he completed his mission. Here is our last picture (see attached). I love you all and thank you for your support. I miss you all back in Boise.

I am doing pretty good. I am struggling because one of my best friends on the mission got sent home this week. It is hard to understand why but I am still striving to do my best and be the best missionary I can be. I am so grateful for the opportunity to serve on a mission. It is a proselyting mission according to our new mission president who I LOVE and support in everything he says and does. I know that he is called of God. I know that times are hard in life but we need to work through those challenges. I know that I am called to serve in the FCHH Mission for a purpose and a reason that I may not know but I know one thing is that I am here to serve the Lord. I am so proud of my little brothers and their example to me. I know that they will be great missionaries someday. I hope you are all well and working hard back in Boise. I love you all. Tell Molly hi for me. I love my Waldo Beast.

pretty good. How is it in Boise? I'm sure the 5-0 is on their toes now
that Tyler got his permit. That is awesome dad finally got a fishing
boat. Here is the location of the GMRV: Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National
Forest, Utah. Its about 24 miles so we drive. We leave the apartments at 7 am.
How is molly my baby doing? I am working hard and plan to keep working hard. I have been struggling but I am working through it. I am also working on finishing the Book of Mormon for the 2nd time on my mission. I'm in Alma chapter 46. I am excited to see things are still going well for Tyler and his running. I love you so much and hope everything keeps going well at home.
