Mom & family,

Hey there family! How's everything going? Is it cooling down there yet? It is here! They're saying we're supposed to have snow by Halloween, but we'll see!

Everything is alright here for the most part. Nothing too much more besides what was in my email. Except for what we did yesterday for our P-day. We chilled for a bit, emailed, ate lunch, went bowling and then went up to the Ferndale Elders and played Ultimate Frisbee.

Bowling was pretty fun, played 6 games - my highest score was 175, then it went down from there. But!! I got a strike bowling it through my legs... while I was facing the pins, hahaha. I was pretty happy about that!! Bowling keeps me sane. It makes me wanna curse, too, but mostly sane. ;)

F.Y.I.! Ultimate Frisbee is lame...... I think it's dumb, haha. Everyone else had fun, so I guess that is what counts. The grass was freaking tall, so my legs were itchier than all get out!

This week is looking pretty nice, as of right now. But we'll see!

All the kids in Detroit are now back in school, so the city is more quiet than normal. I like it, but at the same time, I don't! It makes night time more fun, because that is when all the kids are out of school & that's when they do stupid stuff!

So guess what, Elder Chaus doesn't like country music, so I'm stuck listening to, like, a total of 4 CDs, haha. And you can only listen to all of "the best of Mo Tab" so many times 'til your brain melts! All for the experience, right? :)

This week's funny story: Riding down the street and some drunk guy yells out, "Hey, lemme ride your bike!" (which happens 10-20 times a day) to which Elder Chaus responded... "Gimme a thousand dollars!" and the guy yelled back, "Man, if I had that, I'd buy more beer!" Hahahahaa - I was laughing sooo hard! Way funny!

It's crazy that I'm already halfway through week 4 of this transfer - it's almost over!

So, how is school going for everyone? What grade is everyone in now? I forgot! :) How's work for Dad? Home life for Mom? I already know about Brett, haha.

Well, I gotta bounce. Hope you all have a fantastic week. Love you all!!

Peace out ~

Elder Jones
