I figured nine months was long enough between writings. Sounds like things are going well in Ethiopia. I know that the work you are doing will make a huge difference there forever. I'm so proud of you and the effort you are giving the Lord. Take care and keep working hard! We are praying for you! Love, the James Brannons

That picture of you lopping that things head off was classic.

We miss you around here. Keep working hard.

Hey there, Elder Green!

It's already time for another corney joke, so here you are:

What did the tie say to the hat???

You go on ahead...........I'll hang around!

We love you! Keep up the great work!

Love,

Julie & all the Browns

Hi Elder Green!
Sounds like you are doing very well over there in Africa. I'm so glad that you are enjoying yourself and helping so many people. We are all doing fine on this continent! Here's a little joke for you:
What was it called when 2 silk worms raced?
A tie!
Love ya!
Julie

Hey, just wanted to stop and say hey. I love looking at all your little pictures. You look so good. We watched a man vs. wild with Bear Grylls yesterday and he was in Africa. It scared me to death. You'd better watch out for lions and stuff. Anyways, we love you and can't believe you've already been gone almost a year. Wow!!!!

Elder Green
I just found your blog and got to see all the pictures. So proud of you and all your efforts.
I ask your mom almost every sunday how you are doing and she is so proud to tell me the latest
update.
Know that you are in my prayers daily. May you continue to receive all the blessings that God has in store for you . Sister Boykin

Hey, just wanted you to know that we love you and are so proud of you. Happy Birthday!!! Happy Birthday!!!! Happy Birthday!!! Hope you had a good day.

Hello, Elder Green!
Hope you had a wondeful Christmas and enjoyed the phone call. Ours was great. Logan sounded very happy and still has a slight Southern accent. Here's a little joke for you: What is Mickey Mouse's favorite car? A Minnie Van
Keep working hard! We love you!

Hey Bucka, Sorry I didn't get to talk to you on Christmas. It wouldn't let me through. I'm sure you were just devastated. I hope you had a Merry Christmas and we love you.

Oh my gosh!!! It seems like forever since I've written you, and I'm sure you've been just dying to hear from me. Really nothing exciting is going on here. Mom came and visited which was fun, but Harrison was sick and then I got sick, so she was probably ready to get out of here. We miss you and love you.

Well, Elder Green, the fate of the Alabama Crimson Tide will be known in about 8 hours. I'm telling you that your mission is good luck to the Tide this year. I've been giving it to John ever since he got home.

We miss you, especially at this time of the year, but you will get to have a whole new Christmas experience, so enjoy it and let us know all about it.

P.S. The Celtics are now 19-2. Boo yeah.

I'll holla.

We will have a song prepared for you at Zone Conference on Friday. We will have injera with Dora Watt, firfir and Shira Wat-American style (with ketchup)
We are presently without power and intertaining ourselves on the internet in Addis Ababa. Now we will read all of your letters. Elder and Sister Himle

I don't know you, but I enjoyed looking at your mission site. Thank you for sharing! Bless you Elder for all the good work you do and above all be safe.

Well i can honestly say that Ricky's song was one of the funniest things i have read and heard (in my head) in a long time. i want to print it out and like sing it to someone. not that they would understand once we got to the sports part. but things are good here. we are working hard and i just heard that ne of my contacts back in Nsambya got baptized 2 weeks ago and that another one is getting baptized this week and another one has a date on the 7th of December. right as i leave everyone decides that they want to get baptized. oh well, its not about who plants the seed or waters the flower as long as it grows. i hope that yal continue to write and i hope to hear the next hit from ricky soon. bye
love, Elder Green

Glad to hear all is well in Ethiopia.
I love your letters and I read them at work when I really should be working. It's good to know you had a nice Halloween, and I'm going to have to get someone to send me this video of the midget dancing!
Take care and stay safe.
Love you!
Jessie

Oh my gosh!! That song was really good. It does seem that Ricky has too much time on his hands.

Wow. Now I know what Ricky does at work. Tommy, your letter almost gave me a heart attack-you must have inherited some of Mom's writing skills because it was very suspenseful. We love you and hope you take care of yourself:) Cathy

You'll know the tune to sing this to:

High on a Mountain Top
An Uzi in my grill
Proposed to by natives
while retreating down the hill

A dead pet bat
A dancing midget, ooh
The Celtics dominate
The Tide does too

The C's are four and one
The Tide is nine and O
AU is four and five
And this we surely know

The Spurs have just one win
Your Mavs are two and two
Fullmer has lost his job
And Tubbs will too

We miss you, Tommy. I'll holla.

Well, I like Tarzan too. Your letters are always so funny. I was laughing hysterically about the chicken with its legs cut off. OH MY GOSH!! Anyways, I can't believe some of the stuff you get yourself into, but it sounds like you are doing good. And that's great news that you have a washer and dryer. I bet you feel so much more clean, and I think it's sweet that you were a lamb even if you were tall. I'm glad you had a happy Halloween and that you got to eat Ice Cream and brownies. We love you and are so proud of you. Laura, Josh and Harrison
