You are very welcome for the birthday and Mother's Day cards :D I hope you liked them. You sounded like you did when I talked to you on the phone. I'm glad you guys had fun listening to my tape. Interesting the things we take for granted eh? I was pretty sure you'd all think it was just really stupid. I would think it was annoying to hear my voice ;) j/k

I agree that we were fortunate to talk so close together and it is DEFINITELY doing to feel like an ETERNITY before we get to talk again but that's ok That'll make the tapes more useful ;) It will make it more fun to talk to you at Christmas for sure though.

The past few days have been SO nice out here. Today it's in the 80's! It's hot in the car but really nice when you're outside.

Alright, well have a BLAST in Miami even though you'll probably just be in meetings and dinners the whole time lol Oh and good luck with the stake training meeting at the BYU stake :D

Sounds like work is the same as always and at least the economic struggles will basically ensure that your guys do what you ask them to and the quantity of work to do is also good :)

I'm glad you enjoyed the cassette tape :D It made me laugh to try to picture you trying to come up with things to say. I'm glad you liked the stories. Hopefully I can come up with some good interesting stories again. My journal is really hurting because I'm just so worn out at nights that I don't want to write.

I am definitely happy and doing well :) I still miss home but not in a "homesick" way. I am glad that I haven't been homesick too.

We are going to play the piano duet this coming Sunday, May 17. It should be pretty good. Thanks for wishing us luck. I don't think I'll have any problems.

That's awesome that you and Grandma are still having your little outtings with each other. Well I hope that Taco Time is good again when I get home ;) Chili's sounds delicious for sure.

I love state choir competitions! I was so jealous when I heard that my friends were there! Kody told me Aubrey was there but he didn't tell me that she pretty much spent the day with you all! Sounds like you guys all had a whole bunch of fun :) HOLY COW! They didn't sing until 8:30?! Well that's unusual but cool :) Sounds like games were fun too.

Yard work...my favorite ;) Actually if it's mowing the lawn I love it. I'm stealing that back from you when I get home ;)

I think you said a pretty good amount for having just talked to me yesterday :) Sorry for the delay on my emails. Today, as you know, was when we found out about transfers so we left the house early before we had time to email. At least it's not as late as last Monday lol.

I love you back, and definitely miss you. Thank you for you constant support.

Have an awesome week. (Even though it isn't important I'm definitely looking forward to that package lol)

Love,

Elder Jay Davis

P.S. - You're probably wondering about transfers huh...well I'll send an email to all three of you at once telling you about it so that it's fair and nobody has an advantage...plus it's fun to build the anticipation...muahahaha!

Dear Family,

I'm not being transferred so the address you have is still accurate. I'll be in Foresthill another 6 weeks.

Love,

Elder Jay Davis
