It completely hit me about Friday last week that I had forgotten to post Cade's email! I figured I would just wait and post Monday's also, but didn't end up getting an email until yesterday due to the holiday! Oh, well. Here goes:
Letter from 2/3/14
Mama,
Thank you all for the birthday presents! It was a fun but weird birthday! Sister Cook is awesome along with the rest of the members in the Cortez 4th Ward. And it will be so sweet to take a vacation down here! The gifts were all awesome!
That is hilarious that Ris went out to celebrate my birthday by herself!
I tried to force myself to eat oatmeal for breakfast a couple of days because it was cheap, but I couldn't do it!
We have been visiting the Mexicans a couple of times a week again to kick them back into activity!
How was the BYU Ambassador's concert? How was the Super Bowl? And how is gma Darlene?
How is Sam doing? Has he made it back to school?
Please deposit the check in here! Thank you and love ya!

First off, Happy Birthday Dad! Second, Happy Valentine's to y'all!
Well, a little rundown on this week so far: Monday for P-Day we had a pretty good game of B-ball with only one broken nose...but he was transferred. Elder Chavez, who we live with, is now district leader. Monday night we ended up giving 4 blessings. Then we just hung out at the Riffey's house the rest of the night. Yesterday, we had 3 investigator lessons. One of which was at the 1st Counselor's (in the bishopric) and that went super well. Hopefully that works out good in the end. Then we taught Jeremiah who is doing alright. Today we woke up at 6 to run, which we ended up running 2 miles. So we got some craycray goals for the transfer. I am going to try to hit 255! I have a few requests though. Please, please, please send me some more Pickle's seasoning. And all my pictures out of my album please! And if you get the chance, please send a CD of the soundtrack of Sons of Provo. Please and thank you.
Love you all!

Mom,
So yesterday we couldnt email because of Presidents day but we got into mesa verde for free since it was presidents day! I have caught a few glimpses of the olympics and it does seem amazing to me how good they all do! I love the olympics!
Thanks For the Valentines package! That tie is awesome! I havent burned my tie yet because we were in mesa verde all day!
Elder Kay and i have been laughing, I got a wedding announcement for colty and so E.K. and i have been saying i bet he is crapping his pants right now! haha! Then elder kay got a wedding announcement the next day for one of his friends haha!
My one story for the week, the probably coolest thing, was going to Mesa Verde the Lamanite culture is so interesting to me! How they built those cities is a wonder! one other is we went on exchanges with the zone leaders in durango... again. I think one of us is fixing to have a leadership calling because that is the third one and they dont go with any one else in the district except the district leaders!
Anyways have a good week!
Love Ya
