Weeks 36

April 27, 2009
Hey,

Yeah, I met Uncle Mike's parents, or rather his mom. Talked with his dad on the phone. It is comforting to know that there is family in your area. They said if I ever needed anything, just call them. Have to stick to mission rules as much as possible, but if I ever did need anything, I will call.

A terabyte? I knew they had them out before, but they were expensive. So, did you get that or the 500GB. Apparently there are many flat screens out that are in the $300 range. To me, that is insane. When I left they were still going for $1000 or more! You want to know how much I have changed? Time is being spent how to utilize time in work and see satisfaction from that rather than time in fun and temporal satisfaction from that.

So Gran is alright? That is good. Shanna and Henry are getting married. I didn't doubt it for a second. Of course, here I am in the heart of Utah. Imagine that.....done imagining. I am sure that Bishop Carpenter will be able to find a job. Mosiah 2 promises that as long as you keep the commandments of God and go forth with a purpose of good works, you will be able to provide. Reading Nephi's story of the broken bow and building the ship might help.

Speaking of LONG, HOT DAYS. I am going to have many. Out of which, there will be much walking. Just not nearly as much humidity. Speaking of hot, I hear there is a bad fire in Myrtle Beach.

Happy Birthday Mom! It is tomorrow! Yay! I am assuming you want that painting? I will probably be able to get it somehow. I'll have to go to the Deseret Bookstore.

If there is anything I want right now, it is my viola. Could you send it to me? Just got the package now. The poker chip? Oh I just found it on the sidewalk and picked it up. Then I was given the tie. I just thought the two went together well. So I took it! Yes a photo was taken, but it wasn't very good. Plus, it is kinda hard to send photos right now...especially since there are no USB ports on the computer I am using! ARGH!

Now that I know when Mother's day is, I am panicking less. I will have to call you after all my meetings are done. So it will be 2 when you end at 4. All I can really say is...stay home. I have no idea with this schedule.

Talk to you soon!
