It was awesome to hear from you! I got the
email from Cade. It sounds like he´s plugging away with everything and staying
really busy. I loved the photos. He looks like a pro basketball player! Way to represent Cado-Potato! Well Tyler, it's on! [Zach's dad: This is Zach's response when Tyler mentioned that he is taller than Zach as well as four pounds heavier and that he plans on a big wrestling match when Zach gets home.] You may be bigger than me and you may be taller
than me; but I will always be your older "big" brother! I´ll take you down
and I´ll be talking trash in Spanish while I'm doing it. I'll be playing "mind games" with you! ¡Te mostraré quien es el capo de los Gardanier!

It was cool to hear from you guys and see how big Cade is
getting. It's super weird! I remember that bike ride up to Mapleton to
see if I made the 9th grade basketball team. I was so nervous. Cade, who are your 9th grade coaches at
Mapleton? I had Coach Jex and Coach Rowley. I think your new basketball shoes
are pretty sick!
Well, as you guys know I'm trying to gain weight! I´ve
been eating a lot more and have been exercising a ton, but I haven´t gained
a thing. I weighed myself the other day and weighed 149 pounds! I´ve been getting
up at 6:00 every morning and doing workouts for awhile now, and I can't even tell a
difference! One of my goals when I get back
will be to go to the gym EVERYDAY! I also want to get my right
shoulder stronger. I don´t know what happened but it's kind of bugging me a
little bit where I had the surgery.

It sounds like you guys had a fun week! I'm bummed that I
missed out on the ASU v. Utah game. It sounds like a lot of fun! I'm glad that
ASU took it to them. I live in a house of four Elders. Two of them like Utah and
then my companion and I like ASU! Vamo arriba!
Well, this last week was a lot of fun! Elder Arnett and I went to a special meeting with all the zone leaders in our mission. We
didn't get to go to the temple this time, but it was still pretty fun and cool. Elder Barlow, Elder Hicks, and I are now considered to be super old in the mission. It's really
weird. A lot of the younger missionaries in the mission consider us "old
and grumpy" missionaries which I don't understand because all three of us smile all the time.

I had a really cool birthday this last Halloween! My
zone did a surprise party for me. I don't have a photo of it but my companion
and I got up at 6:00 in the morning to go clean out our "old" house. We had a couple of things we needed to do for the owner of the house before we gave him
the key back. Anyway, when we got to the old house, my whole zone was there with a
birthday cake and they sang "Happy Birthday" to me. It was really cool and they
totally got me! I jumped pretty high when I walked into the house! I was
really impressed to see the whole zone get up super early just for my birthday. I have the
best zone!
