Dear Mother,
                I’m enclosing the newsletter that we are sending out with a picture of the kids that are home this year for the holidays. We had to wait for them to come home to take the picture so our cards don’t go out til after New Year’s
               
                We really enjoyed the family pictures we got from Ramona and Ruby. I wish my family wasn’t so far removed from their cousins. I’d like to have them know each other better. They surely have some nice looking kids. I want to make a trip up to Oregon sometime and see them all.
                I just watched two missionary movies today in church. They were great. One was about the missionary on the plane on his way home from a mission in Colorado. The other was about the Book of Mormon and Ancient America. I’ve got to see that one and try to get the reference to the monk who recorded what the Aztec who they taught to speak Spanish told them about ancient beliefs which had all that correlation with the Hebrew belief. That’s really a great tape. The missionaries must use them all the time.
                It’s exciting to live at this time of preparation for the Second Coming. We have a chance to do important things.
Love,
Robert, Janet, Charlie and Sam

Robert writes home #28 May 6, 1993

May 6, 1993 Dear Mother, We're doing pretty well.Megan got asked to the Merced Junior prom by a boy from church in Merced. She seems pretty elated by the whole thing. Charlie's baseball season is over. He'll graduate in less than a month. Sam is doing pretty well. He enjoys school alot. We are having some trouble getting our watermelons to sprout. It's been a cool spring. We replanted again last night. Did you know that we are raising a lamb on a bottle? He is really fun. He was abandoned by his mother out in our pasture and Johnnie gave him to us. He's black and we named him (by popular vote) Bill. We take him in the truck with us when we go out in the field and he follows us like a dog (even better...Duke is too tired to follow very far. He just lays down and watches us go.) You've heard of Dodge Ram trucks? We have a truck tam that dodges. He's really fun. Charlie feeds him morning and night. Sam feeds him mid day when he gets home from school. ...

10-7-86 Dear Mom and Pop, I'm sending you a few persimmons. I hope they make the trip okay. We're all okay. We went to Madera to see Saturday sessions of conference and Merced to watch the Sunday sessions last weekend. It smells like cotton defoliant here now. We dread this event every year. It usually brings some upper respiratory irritation and congestions with it. Hope you're well. Love, Robert, Janet etc. 19 Feb 1995 Dear Mother, I hope you are doing well. I went to the Merced 4th ward (Spanish) today to speak as a high councilman. Rick Rowan, father of one of Megan's friends, Gannon's dad, is Branch Pres. Gannon was home from BYU for the weekend. He just got his call to go to the Dominical Republic on a mission in May. He sang a song with his two little sisters. Two of her other friends, Colby Brink, got his call to go to Tennessee and Aaron Ketcher was called to Montreal, Pete's mission. It's a remarkable experience to se...

Robert writes home #4-March 27, 1955

Provo, Utah March 27, 1955 Dear Mom and Daddy, I received Axel's letter acouple of days ago and was very happy to hear the news. Thats to bad that you sprained your ankle, Mom. I hope it gets well soon. I moved at the first of this quarter again. I now live at 759 No. 1st East. There are five of us in the house. It's alittle nicer and alot closer, It's only a block away from campus. I pay about 17 dollars amonth all of the utilities paid with an automatic washer. I sure miss Herb, he is as good a room mate as a fellow could ask for. He and I were the only ones left at the other house since Bob went down to California for acouple of weeks. I liked the other house pretty well, but this new place is so much more conveneint. The guys I live with are real swell fellow and loads of fun. They had been after me to move in with them for about a month and a half before I moved. I hope you'll overlook the mistakes I'm making. I don't have a good place to put the t...
