4.11.11

Double the fun today. :)

Shortest email yet, I think:

Hey there. Everything's goin' good over here! It was stayin' chilly till yesterday! It got up to like 82! I HATE humidity! Anyways, had a busy week! Umm.... not much to write about haha. Hit me up! Peace out! - Elder Jones

But luckily, we also got a good letter today, written last Thursday:

Family!

Hey all! This last week and a half has gone by in the blink of an eye!

The weather is looking up and literally, if you wait 5 minutes, the weather will change.

Hopefully, this next week we'll be on bikes more. They cut our mileage down from 1275 a month to 1170, so that stinks.

We have only one really sweet investigator that is actually progressing - his name is Gerardo L. He can't be baptized because he works on Sunday, and investigators have to come to church at least 3 times before we can dunk 'em, haha, but he said he'd try to get his schedule changed around for this month. We'll see!

Today I went to the Detroit Temple for the first time! It was sweeeeeeeet! It was my 2nd time ever doing an endowment and I learned a lot more. We can only go once a transfer (or 6 weeks) so I won't be going for a while.

How's everything back home? I know that's a really broad question, but I wanna know everything! Haha.

Well, I hope all is well & fair back home. I love you guys and I hope to hear from ya soon! Peace out.

Love, Elder Ethan "Nye-Nye" Jones

PS! - What the heck is up with the MERIDIAN TEMPLE?!?!?!

Do you know where it's gonna be??????

Oh, and me & Elder Adair were wondering if you could send me the CD we have by Sons of Provo, and any other Christian songs or bands. They don't have to be LDS, just songs about Jesus would be nice! Thanks! Love ya!

Also tucked in with the letter was a page ripped off a "You might be a redneck if..." page-a-day calendar. He wrote on the back, "I thought you might like this!" It reads: "You might be a redneck if... You recycle for the income, not the environment." Sooo true! Although I prefer to call it 'utilizing our available resources.' LOL
