Dear Mom,

Yes i got to watch all of conference. We got the keys to the bishops office and watched it there. That announcement is huge. It means that the second coming is right around the corner. And there will be more options for marrige when i get back ;) hahaha just kidding

I dunno about the whole Colby leaving at 18. I enjoyed the time i had to work in a job that was 100% my own. But whatever he decides is good. Atlanta Georgia huh? That should be good for him to experience a little of the southern side of life. Bring on the missionaries we need them. We are struggling here with the lack of missionaries. Some areas are just shutting down and the missionaries are being pulled. 

Ya i dont have a doubt that Joe is bitter about it. For him the mission was everything. That was really the only thing that kept him from getting married. Its all in the Lords plan though and im sure there is a purpose for it. Probably it will develop and really come into use later in his life.

I heard about the Despicable me 2 before the mission it should be super funny. Hotel translvania i saw a commercial for that it looked cute. Note i was not watching tv on purpose the investigators and members often have tvs on when we are there.  What happened with grandmas dogs?

I cant believe that Colby is a senior! I thought he was a junior still. I cant believe it. Its amazing how time flies here. Since i wont be able to send anything on Thursday Happy anniversary!!! Whoo Party!

If nothing else the mission will teach him about spending money wisely especially if he gets sent to a poor place. Thats good that they bought choir robes it always looks nicer than uneven messes.

You will see about John. He is pretty much a classic bad boss. He always comes in and messes with things. Get ready to have the counter all reareanged. He also will probably pull you over for a random interview. My advice would be talk to him for a little bit get him to realize that you are there and then work your butt off.

As far as the mice go i kill them with a rubber mallet we have in the house. I dont have the money to waste on a trap. I hope those pants fit too if not im sure i can find somebody they will fit and trade something really good for them. 

Im telling you that food is good and i really hope that i have an opportunity to share it with you all when i get back. So it looks like we will finally baptize this Saturday! We found a guy that got a book of mormon from a friend like four years ago and has been studying it ever since. He finally got sundays off on a regular basis so he can come to church a few weeks ago. He watched General conference and is very excited to be baptized.

Oh we had a chance to go to the beach today. It was awesome. I got sunburned and found some really cool shells im going to bring home. Yes sometimes we can go to the beach. I only touched the water in the ocean; which was perfect and beautiful. But sadly i have to wait another year and a half to go swimming.

Anyway i love you and miss you too.
love your Son
