Hey Mom,

Yeah, Elder Smith's shoulder being injured is no good. He is feeling better, but it's kind of on and off. I have been super sick with a cold or something this whole week. I have a major cough and a big headache and major congestion and no voice. It's been pretty miserable, but I'm pushing through and the members are awesome. All is well. I just hope it blows over soon!

Woah! How did you speak with Bro. Ensey?! That blows my mind that he called you! I love that man and his family! They are one of my favoritest families! I'm excited to get your handwritten letter and hear more about the phone calls. If you get the chance to talk to him again make sure you tell him that he definitely made the first 6 months of my mission the best. Nothing will top the time I served in Foresthill!

Dominique Smith is really amazing so that's good that you talked to her too! It does sound like Tuesday was a great day for you :D

Yeah, Kody told me about his wisdom teeth. I'm sure I'll hear more about it in his email today. Remember how I didn't heal properly?! YUCK! Tell him he doesn't want to have a rubber drain in his cheek with puss coming out of it! I'm sure he'll forgive you for hovering ;)

I am glad you've had the chance to watch the olympics. That is something I've really missed. Everybody has said that this one will go down as the worst winter olympics ever (and the warmest). Also, they said that a guy died on...the luge? I think that's the one they said. Went over the edge and slammed into the ground? Nuts!

Wow! That sounds like an awesome mission that Jeremy Ewell is going to be serving! That would be so much fun!

Woah! Sam's already married?! NO ANNOUNCEMENT?! Boy that girl is gonna get it! lol, j/k I'll forgive her...but man...that irks me. Ah well.

SWEET! Chelsea is getting married on my year mark! :D

WOAH! Courtney Crockett and Jason Wilkins are getting married?! Who-da-thunk! He's not been back for very long either has he?

AHHH!! Jamie Bond is getting married! Tell her congratulations for me!!!

Man, that's weird that Ryan Hatch is getting married! Life moves fast!

Wow...I can breathe now...almost ;)

Anyway, thank you for all of the updates and the email :D I love you tons!

Love,

Elder Jay Davis

Hey Dad,

That's okay if there is overlap, I love handwritten letters! I'm excited to read it :D I've been craving mail lately so it'll be nice to get some letters ;) (I get a few, just not a lot, which is fine)

I'm glad you liked getting my email this week and laughing really hard about the story of Sister Pendleton minimizing the talk.

I heard it was really coming down hard with snow in Utah this week. That's a bummer that it's not sticking around.

That's kind of funny that Mom was so antsy to receive my email. I always worry about her when I can't email on Mondays. I remember the first time I couldn't email at a normal time on Monday and Kody told me that Mom had been pacing the house all day and every ten minutes she would check her email to see if I had emailed yet. So every time I miss a Monday and have to email Tuesday or something I worry about Mom a lot. (I know that you and Kody like the emails too, but you two aren't as nervous about it as Mom)

I'm glad to hear that our basketball team is really good. That sucks that New Mexico beat us. I really don't like New Mexico...oh well.

lol, I'm glad that this week has been one where Mom has talked about me a lot. That makes me feel really good. She must have known that I was sick! Her motherly instincts were kicking in ;) I'm fine, just a really bad cold that is not pleasant at all. Oh well. I am so shocked that Brother Ensey called you guys! That is so awesome. Thank you for your confidence in me Dad! I carry a big stick...lol...that sounds like something President Teddy Roosevelt would have said ;)

Wow...that is crazy that Sister Smith feels like I was sent to California just for her! It's interesting that I don't really realize that I'm even affecting anybody and yet somehow it seems that I am affecting a lot of people. It just blows my mind. I really can't get my brain to wrap around it!

Thanks for the email :D I'll be looking forward to your letter!

Love you tons!
