From Elder Michael Watson
"Hello Hobart Stake YSA,
Thanks heaps for your letters or notes, it feels good to know more than my family think about me every now and then.
I have see Elder Docking a few times since being here but missed Sister Gresswell by 3 days, she had already left for Sydney when I went to the temple, the MTC missionaries are usually there on Mondays when we go as missionaries once a month.
Keep that flamin' Sam Watson under control, cause I ain't there to do it.
Well how is everyone, you all sent a lot of love but not much info on what's crackin down there. From what I received I can see everyone is alright and there's a new family in the legendary GLEN HUON ward. I got a little letter from a girl of the member of the family, but it had no name, all I know is they're trying to buy my old house.
Today me and Elder Stuart (Melbourne) went into Hamilton and met up with 10 other missionaries and two sisters as well, we all played ten pin bowling and The Little Tassie Devil beat everyone, closest was 32 points away from me - 145. Anyway after that we had a go at Laser Tag. In the first couple of mins I ran around a corner and ducked to dodge any incoming laser beams and in the process ran straight into Elder Stuart and headbutted his gun and vest. Put a big old shiny & cut lump on my forehead, but I was alright, kept playing the game dazed out of my mind, just following these pretty blue and red lights haha darn classic. We then headed off to the chapel for some sport. More people got hit in the head there, one got a fat lip from a frisbee too LOL I was having a good laugh when I seen these things happening LOL. That's just some of the stuff that happened!! Some of the other stuff youse don't need to know LOL.
Well it's winter time now, are youse planning a trip to Mt Field this year?
Um I know Brodie sucks at getting dates with girls, but what about the rest of you, what's happening in this area of YSA? Has that crazy little girl named Elle got a boy yet? The little nut case she is, at least she is good for a laugh.
Man you guys I am pretty trunky right now, my comp is going home next Tuesday, I got letter from you all so I'm totally flabbergasted, my comp is always talking about home. Your letters make me think of home and I ain't allowed to drive a car yet so I'm having major withdrawal symptoms from that!!
Next week I have to take over two areas, one area is dead and the other is booming, so I have to keep that area booming and fix the other area! Well my mind is all over the place.
The gospel is true and that's all that matters! Jesus is the Christ, saviour and redeemer of mankind, the only way back to heaven. He is a perfectly purified resurrected being who leads and guides this one true and living church on the earth today by revelation. Of that there is no doubt in my mind. No other church has the priesthood nor the Holy Ghost gift of! to head the church. Pray always and never cease, especially in this time of your lives in choosing an eternal companion. Do so wisely and wisdom is to have the spirit with you.
See look at that, my testimony don't even make sense, my mind is scattered all over the place. Well I might finish there before I confuse y'all.
Man I love you guys, keep doing good.
Elder Watson."
