Hi Everyone,
Well, it's been a long two years (Bob says it's been five), but our missionary is finally coming home. Skyler has served well, has touched many lives, and, just like our other sons, is coming home with honor. We are proud of Skyler and a little sad to see this wonderful phase in his life come to an end. We hope you will join us for his report on Sunday, March 14, 2010, @ the Unity 2nd Ward building, @ 9:00 a.m. We will have a dinner following his report for all who came to hear Skyler speak in Sacrament Meeting. The dinner will be held at Morey's Event Center here in Burley. If you need directions to any of these places give us a call or leave a message on Skyler's blog. We also invite all who would like to join us at the airport when he arrives on Friday. He will be flying into the Pocatello airport at 6:00 p.m. and then we will be going into Pocatello to eat at Winger's and invite all to join us. I am including Skyler's last and final email (although it is really short and not much to say). We thank you for checking in on how Skyler has been doing while on his mission and for your comments. I will do one final entry (hopefully next week) that will contain any pictures Skyler would like to share with you. We hope to see you this weekend!

Hey, how's it goin! Sorry this is a day late! Yesterday while emailing our computers at the library just shut off and we had to wait till today to email again. The worst part was that I had just finished up a nice long email to ya when it shut off so it was kinda frustrating! Anywase I got your package yesterday and it was awesome!!! I think those movies will be cool to watch with investigators. So ya about the investigator we found a couple weeks ago! His name is Jurrell and it was on a Saturday and it was kinda dark and usually we don't talk to people outside if it's dark because they might shoot us or something or get scared! But on this occasion we were going to see some Spanish ivestigators that lived in an apartment. Well while walking to the stairs a guy came out to smoke a cigarette. Elder Poulsen and I kinda kept walking to the stairs when Elder Poulsen and I got a strong prompting to go talk to him!! And it was cool cuz at the same time Elder Poulsen and I just started walking to him at the same time with out even saying anything to each other!! We found out that he had just gotten a phone call from his mom and she told him that is 3 year old son was diagnosed with a severe case of asthma and was in the hospital! Well his son is in Minnesota and Jurrell came here to find work and so things weren't working out like he thought they had!! Well, in the phone call his mom said you need to find you a church and get some beliefs! Well, being sad, he walked outside to smoke a cigarette to calm himself!! Then along came two missionarys!! It's awesome to tell someone they are a child of God and to see the light of Christ work in them! He asked that we say a prayer with him. So I offered the prayer. Then I asked him if he knew how to pray and he told me about his life and how he never really grew up in a church or going to church for that matter! He told us he didn't know what to believe, but thought it was crazy that as soon as he got off the phone with his mom telling him to find a church there we were! He told us that he had friends that followed the devil and that he had been shot twice and stabbed twice! And the whole time he is telling us this he is crying and so we teach him how to pray and then asked him if he would like to pray right there! He was scared, but we talked him into it! He gave the most sincere prayer I have ever heard! He truly plead with the Lord and at the end of the prayer all of us were crying! And the cool part was that he came to church the next day! Unfortionatly he had to go back to Minnesota to see his son, but promised us he would find the church and stuff!! And I think he will, but if not some point down the road missionarys or a member of the church will find him and he will remember how he felt the day we found him!! Anywase it's just cool to see how the Lord prepares people and then puts them in your path! Anywase, tonight we are going the the Steins house to celebrate my b day. They are an awesome family and do alot for us! Anywase I think thats about it and I will be looking for your letter in the mail. And oh, I did get my extension. (***his drivers license extension) they actually sent me 2 card extensions for some reason! Anywase, read some of the book "The Transfer"! It was cool to see Lindsy Spjute's story in there as well! (****This is the book that has Nick's story in it) Anywase, I will talk to ya later and tell everyone I said hi! And just so you know mom, I love you!
