November 25, 1988
Been awhile. Landon is 4 1/2 months. He's eating cereal and applesauce at night now. Don't know if he really needs it or not. He sleeps from 7-8 p.m. to 1 a.m. At 4 months he weighed 14 pounds 15 ounces and was 25 1/2 inches long. He's doing well. Got his shot and hardly cried, maybe 1-2 seconds is all. Got exposed to Chicken pox on November 23rd, and will get them approximately December 7th. Hope not too bad of a case. We're going to see "The Land Before Time" today with the kids. Me, Mom, and Erika. Rog is working in the mink. Had a good Thanksgiving Dinner yesterday at LuAnn's. Linda and Bruce are going back to Okinawa in July. Christmas is coming soon. We are broke as usual. Guess no bikes this year for the kids. Uncle Don's operation went well. He is home. All the kids pictures turned out good.

Dear Rich Family, Thanks for your letter - I appreciate it!! Also, thanks for all of the pictures!! Amanda, Zac, and Landon are all getting so big, I can't believe it! Amanda looks like a teenager, and Zac looks like a big football player!! You've all changed allot I think, but I still look the same! Well, as you know I've transferred. Koshigaya is a nice place and I know that I'll enjoy it as much as I have my last two areas. It's a little colder here in Koshigaya than Koiwa, because it's to the north. But it's not as bad as Utah yet. My new companion graduated in 1977. He's as old as you Rog! He wrestled for Duschesne High School. Maybe you wrestled him once? We get along good, although we have had a few minor "disagreements". He's another good friend that I've met on my mission. We have 4 people that are getting ready for baptism, so we are pretty excited to say the least. One is a couple that are about your age, Gwen and Rog. There names are the Ozawa's. We are still riding bikes everyday, and working hard!! Thanks for always writing me and helping me to do my best! Love Mark

Dear Zac, Hey buddy! How are ya! You are looking pretty cool in that picture that you sent! All my missionary friends think you will be a good sportsman someday! How is Landon you little brother? Do you treat him nice? You better be a good big brother so he'll be able to turn out like you someday. Write soon when you have a chance, and I'll see you next summer! Love Mark

I'm home with Landon. He has the Chicken Pox! They came early. I kinda figure he must have gotten exposed on November 8th. J.C. must not have been completely scabbed over. Landon woke with a fever and cough early Sunday morning. (3 a.m.) I took him to the doctor yesterday (Monday) He had one pox on his forehead, and his throat and ears were fine. He's kinda miserable today. The cold and cough are one of the side effects of Chicken Pox. He went 20 days incubation. We got our family pictures Saturday. They turned out good. I wrote some goals down today. Hopefully we can achieve them. I think cutting down on TV will help. Roger is working in the mink besides the bakery. He is such a hard worker. I love and appreciate him so much. Amanda is a big help to me. She is doing well in school. She is still sad about Tonya. I guess it will work itself out. Zac is funny. He has been in a cleaning mood lately. He is so sweet. I've got to express my love to him more. He knocked the VCR off the TV onto the floor (4 ft. down) last night and Rog and I blew up BAD at him. I've got to control my temper somehow.
