***Here is Ben's Email. He talks a little about Nate's Basketball Teams successful week. Gary and I celebrated our 23rd wedding anniversary on the 21st. He thanked everyone for the gifts and letters. Then it is basically a list of things he wants to tell us when we Skype with him on Christmas Day. We are excited to see his face and talk to him!  Enjoy!*** 

 

 

Hey fam!!! You have officially blown my mind with all the wonderful things that you have told me this week!!! What a great time to be alive!!! Go Warriors for Pete's sake!!! Good job Nate! Some how I just felt it!!! You're a great basketball player and brother!!! I love hearing about things like Alberto's with Jenkins after a W!  It makes me happy man. That's what exaltation will be like. And You Mateo!!! I am excited to see you on Christmas!!! You and your pit hair!!!  Today we thugged it with some thugs playin football!!! You should all have gifts arrive today in the mail!!!! Mom and dad I thought of you on your anniversary!!! 21 years?!?!? I'm bad at math now!!! Oh also before I forget read Elder Christophersons talk on redemption from last April.

By the way tell everyone thank you so much for all the letters and pictures on the tree!!! Especially Cathy and Eric and Suz, Atkins Esplin's and anyone else who sent me a tie!!! Really Ties, letters, protein bars, gum, and pictures are all I care about. oh... and yes to be honest I opened the belts because I could feel them anyways! They are both way to small. Where can I return them again?!?!?
