Tamara was able to get on with Davey on Monday. Below is their conversation:

 I love you all so much i am online emailing right now!

 Hey! This is mom. How are you doing?

 great how are you doing?

 I'm at work right now and will try to write you back (in between calls). I was asked to talk about you in relief society... and again I cried. I guess I cry because I am so proud of you! I told them about your baseball game that you told the people if you won then they had to go to church. I also told them how you will give us a challenge to work on for the next week, like when you challenged us to know more about the atonement or to read the conference talks and then challenge us to share the gospel.

 ah no way that is awesome ha i love ya so much how is the family and moving and how are the boys?

 I am having someone over to take pics of the home tomorrow. Things are going good, I do feel overwhelmed sometimes, but keep reminding myself that I can do it and to take a day at a time. Tonight is really busy... Brayden has a football party and Chase has a Student Body video project that they are making.
mom your amazing truely you are so strong and just amazing and shoot it sounds like a fun night!

What size of pants do you wear? no clue im not that smart...32in waist?

 Ok, are you a large in shirts/jackets?

 yup

Also, do you have any more thoughts on what you would like me to talk about for December? The bishop has asked me to take a few minutes to talk about you and what you are doing. Any words of wisdom? How are you doing? are you still tired? How can I help you with that?

 ha no i am dong great mom i don't really know what you want me to tell you to say haha i am sorry i am doing awesome i love it out here ya i am tired but thats just because i am always working ha

 I'm glad you are doing so good and you are loving being a missionary. Will you be sending your weekly? I am excited to read about your week. I love you so much! Enjoy your week!!

 He sent some pictures too:

And here is his weekly report:

 So this past week has been great we have had zone conference which was really good and we have just had a lot of lessons with investigators and have set 2 baptismal dates one for the 27th of October his name is armondo and he wants to serve a mission he is 21 years old and i found him while talking to people on the street and the other for Nov. 9th his name is adrian and wants him and his family to go to the celestial kingdom he is 18 years old it is going to be so sweet to see these people get baptized! I was asked to give a talk in sacrament meeting about having a christlike life so i talked about humility the christlike attribute i loved learning about it so much then speaking to the youth about how they can repent and become better! The Christlike attributes are so important to develop always try to develop them and improve them. I started reading the Book of Mormon again and dang i love it so much i learn something new everytime but thats not what is important its when i apply the things that i have studied in my personal reading into my daily life thats when i start seeing myself change and being better. So sorry it is not very long this week we are doing president interviews right now so i don't know how much time i have so i love you all and i love being a missionary! Chase and brayden strive everyday to touch someone new you meet and lift them up, be a light to all and always stand strong in your belifs and standards. be a leader to all you meet but don't be prideful always humble i love you boys your awesome and you better be working out if you are going to beat me at anything when i get home! ;) love your brother and son Elder Moss
