Hi Mom,

I wasn't affected by transfers.

Yeah, I was thinking I will give it to Sister Lucas (the investigator that lives in Davis that we are working on getting moved up here...just gotta find a place for her and her husband to live up here). She goes to the book store in Sacramento/Roseville ALL the time. She is always buying all sorts of stuff, so I'm sure she'd love a hymn book that she could include in her scripture case.

Um...no, we usually don't make ourselves good breakfasts...on occasion I will spend the time to make eggs. I make German pancakes in the evening and then reheat them the next morning. So they last me for quite a while. I usually just have a bowl of cereal or some fruit...sometimes a poptart. I just never want to spend the effort to make breakfast. We go to members' houses for dinners most nights. This past (fiscal) month has been relatively slow for dinners with a lot of cancellations (sp?) due to health, but it's not bad.

Yep, it was cool seeing the coyote except I just about hit it which would have been bad. It was darting across the street. They are around our house a lot I think...we hear them at night when we are trying to go to sleep and they sound like they are pretty close. Luckily we have dogs around our house too so hopefully that'll deter them ;) I would imagine that hearing them while camping would be WAY worse!

Yep, football was fun :D I was pumped that I caught the touchdown pass...I usually break under pressure and drop the ball, even though I can catch when there's no pressure. So I was glad that the quarterback was really good and set it up just right.

I'm glad you like reading about me trying to love the people. I mean, you know I haven't been the most patient person in the past so I'm trying really really hard to be more patient. I don't feel I've had a hard time loving people though. Who knows.

Yep, very wet windy weather. Everything has mostly subsided, but we are still getting a fairly consistent drizzle and mild winds on and off. It hasn't been all that cold. There hasn't been any flooding other than large puddles as far as I'm aware. So that's good.

I am definitely happy, healthy, and warm. Hopefully you are feeling likewise.

Love,

Elder Jay Davis

Hey Dad,

This week was pretty good. I have enjoyed myself that's for sure. I'm glad to hear that your week went quite well.

Glad to hear you enjoyed your time in Park City. I'm sure it was nice to have a few days to just relax. Watching snowboarders on the halfpipe is really cool, they are nuts! Of course I can remember Shaun White from the olympics :D The flying tomato! He is definitely the best that's for sure. (lol, my memory is fading, but I remember most of the big things ;))

That's nice that you were able to just come home and relax for a bit on Sunday. That's SWEET that Austin Collie did so well. The members we had dinner with last night were watching the game before we came for dinner (We saw it on the TV as we knocked on the door). He was telling us that Austin Collie was getting a lot of action. 127 yds and a TD is more than a lot of action ;) Yay for the Colts winning!

Colts and Saints for the Superbowl! YES! I called the Colts and I think I might have even called the Saints...WOOT! That will be one heck of a game! lol, I will definitely miss the decorated table, dinner, clam dip (which you should send me the rough measurements for because I've been craving making some.), and commercials.

Well I'm not really sure of what to write about this week...no really interesting stories...at least none that I can think of right now. If I think of some I'll send them in a family email.

Love you tons!
