Hello all!
How goes it? :D
Everything's going good here! I'm stoked & bummed at the same time. Stoked because right now I have 3 inches of flippin' snow and it's gonna snow more! And I'm bummed because we got transfer calls on Saturday, and Elder Adair is leaving, and I'll be staying.
Did you guys get the pictures I sent home?
I am starting to really love the people here. I was worried because everyone was kind of stand-off-ish at first, but all the kids have got to be friends with me, and their parents have warmed up. So that's cool. I've only been here a few weeks and I have favorite members! You guys should have the missionaries over more. I challenge you to be one of the missionaries' favorite members!
Brett - I want you to be that kid that I love out here and wished I could have been. If you are already, then fantastic - but I want you to go with the missionaries at least once a week. It will not only help them, but it will teach you so much!
Mom - Thank you sooooo much for the blanket & sweatshirt. I use 'em both daily! Haha. And thank you for everything else! I thought I did OK budgeting-wise, but it's hard when you only get $133 a month! I'm trying to figure out how to A) rebuild the $100 emergency fund B) get a new backpack and C) get both suits dry cleaned (they both need it bad!). I'll get-r-done, though - I'll figure it out!
Dad! Congrats on the job! I seriously am SO HAPPY for you! Just keep pushing forward & I know you'll make it through those hard first few months!
Ben - Wassup bud! I hope you're listening & behaving well! I have a picture of you and the picture you sent me on the wall. Don't forget to say your prayers!
Emily - Hey there! Thank you SO much for the candy and the card. :) It made me smile! :D I still haven't heard about your birthday yet, though!
OK! So! Umm... I don't know, not much else has happened this last week. Oh well. LOL
It'd be cool if you could send me like two of Jenni's books? One for me, and one for President Holmes. I'll give that one to him to see if he'll approve it or not.
And that's cool about General Conference! I'm glad you guys took such great notes! I took like 15 or something around that number.
Oh and do you think you could send a list of the birthdays in the family & how old they're gonna be?
Oh and Brett, how'd missionary week go???
Well, I think that's about it for now.
Love ya guys!
Elder Jones
