Hey!

First things first...I didn't get transferred! I am still in Loma Rica. I will be getting Elder Boyter as a companion! Should be fun :D I'm super super excited to stay in Loma Rica. The work is going to be hard because all of our baptisms are done now (as of this coming Sunday), but I love the people here so it'll be really awesome to stay another transfer. I was hoping to stay one more so I'm glad :D

Love y'all

Dear Mom,

Yep, Sister Matuck is very awesome! She keeps us smiling. She's actually out of town for the next 2 1/2 weeks.

That's AWESOME that Dad was able to repair the fridge :D That's a bummer that most of the freezer food was lost...oh well.

That's good that your weather has been more spring like. Our week was pretty normal until Saturday and Sunday and we got BIG TIME rain and wind! It was intense and very cool. I am ready for the rain to go away, but I guarantee you when it gets hot I'll be missing the rain!

OH MY GOSH! That is SOOOO awesome that Melissa sent you that message! I am SOOOO pumped that they went to the temple and will be sealed in September! Let her know that if she keeps me informed about it I can get permission from the mission president to attend if she and Jason would like :D That would be AWESOME! Wow...that just made my whole mission! Tell her I say hi too ;)

HAHAHA that's funny that Keely was looking for my address :D That makes me excited, I've missed hearing from people. I'm glad Caitlin was relatively prompt and responded with my address.

I like the song "Oh Lord, My Redeemer" it sounds cooler when a Hawaiian guy sings it (Elder Smith had a CD with that)

Anthony, Missy's son, got baptized yesterday and it was awesome.

I just got a ton of piano music from Sister Matuck that she was getting rid of. There is some really good stuff in it. Including some Marvin Goldstein church music books that I've never seen before. I have a whole bunch that I'm going to be sending home to you that I don't want on my mission. Lots of it is in terrible shape but I figure you can go through it and decide what you like and don't like. You'll probably get rid of most of it, but I'd hate to get rid of something you'd like to have.

Love,

Elder Jay Davis

Hey Dad,

I am doing great.

Glad to hear that the fridge went okay and was repairable ;) lol, that's pretty funny that you are now the Maytag man, hopefully you don't have to fix the furnace/air conditioner, I don't think that would be very fun. Not that any of the others were either.

Oh that is awesome that you and Kody got to go to the Phoenix night race, this is the first I've heard about you guys going! I can only imagine how hot it would have been! That's a bummer for you guys that it wasn't box seats but still awesome that you got to go. That's awesome that you booked the Wigwam! That was probably expensive since you had to pay for it instead of it being complimentary, or maybe it wasn't when you and I went either and you just made it seem that way so I didn't feel bad for you spending a lot of money. Who knows. I'm glad you and Kody had fun :D

That's awesome that you went Go-Karting! I love doing that :D That's awesome that Ryan Newman won! I would much rather him than the two that led most of the race :P Goodness!

Thanks for the uplifting advice :) I'll do my best to stay smiling, shouldn't be hard since I'm staying :D

Love,

Elder Jay Davis
