October 9, 2007

Mom,

Really really dont have much time today. We were moving the mission office, and then we had a staff meeting and stuff.

Conference was great!!! i agree with the statement "the older i get, the more i enjoy conference". It is definetly true. It was cool to see Elder Eyring be called to presidency. one of his sons is the bishop in the next ward, although we meet in the same building. He said he was suprised to see his father called into the presidency.

I have such a hard time with writing in the journal. i feel the same way. i jsut hope that everythigni have saved as in emails is enough to suffice for the huge back log i have. My favorite talk was when Holland laid the smack down on the definition of Christian. It was sweet. you will like that one.

Always partys at the house now. Gosh, crazy. So Brandon Hill is still around? How is Tarrik doing? havnt heard much about him lately. Trenton's sister plays volleyball for BYU-H? They are really good. she must be talented. I would bet that Fletcher was down in St. George for that tournament/Game. He is like the BIGGEST volleyball fanatic. especially BYU.

Perhaps there is somthing messed up in the connection between the battery and the machine? is there some sort of waranty? id look into that. Im sure the machine we have back home is ancient. Im sure my computers are even more ancient, especially my linux machine. Itll be cool to see how much technology has grown since i left.

Thats good that everybody is doing well on the mission. I cant believe that Will and Brady are missionaries though. WEIRD.

Well, dont have too much fun quilting. Wouldnt want that.

This week was busy. With conference and stuff, and some transfers that needed to happen. We also found out that some missionaries are living in a house that used to be the biggest crack house in their city, and the past 3 nights people have been trying to break into their place. Kinda crazy, huh? hahah. Had some great experiences, but things are slow to pick up here in Weston 1st. We just dont have the time to put into the area that it needs in order to really grow quickly.

Well, i gotta run. love ya and miss ya. ill ttyl!
