11.18.11 letter

Family,

Hey there. How's it hangin'? Or if you want it in Detroit slang: "What's good witchu?" Kind of gotta throw that last part together like a car crash. Ha!

Anyway.... how's school, work, weather, life? :) It's gettin' more cold here, it snowed off and on in some intense flurries yesterday. It all melted when it hit the ground, but it still snowed! :D

Sorry I haven't gotten any pictures to you yet. As soon as I get to a computer that will let me load them, I'm gonna send every picture from week to week. And start from this last week.

Oh, so guess what? My trainer, Elder Adair, is training again! So I have a little brother missionary out here. (Slang in the mission is: trainer's trainer = grandpa, trainer = father, then you get the pic of uncles and brothers, etc.) His name is Elder Simpson and he's from Connell, WA. Think there's any relation? He didn't know Dean's name, so I don't know.

So I'm now in my 7th of 18 transfers you get on your mission. Missionaries here count how long they've been in each area a few different ways: 1, by weeks; 2, by months; 3, by companions, and 4, by transfers. I'll test ya and see if you can figure it all out! Ha!

So I've been sick for about the last week. My throat is feeling better but my ears won't pop; any ideas?

In exactly one month from today I'll be 20! Whoa! Crazy!

Anyways... lots of random thoughts. Sorry!

So, how's life in the 208? Any news on the Meridian temple? I'm stoked to see any info!

So, hey, I'm probably going to be sending home a few more packages; I've realized over the last few weeks that I have acquired a lot of... stuff. Some of it I'm just gonna label to myself - those things you can just store. The rest of the stuff, you'll get the idea of what to do! :)

Welp... I gotta hit the road and study. E. Chaus is in the shower, so I had a moment to myself to write!

Love you all. :) Stay safe and stay chaste! :D

~ Elder Jones
