Hi Mom,

I know! I can hardly believe it! A year feels like forever! I am so excited!

I'm glad I didn't get transferred too! I am definitely happy with where I am at.

I know! I was so excited to perform Jairiko's baptism! Thanks for being excited for me :D Yes, the baptism was my first that I've performed. Yep, pretty neat to be able to wear the same pants Dad wore on his mission :D Sentimentality is definitely an interesting thing.

Things with the Lucas' went well, they did find a house but couldn't get out of their lease agreement, but we worked through the stake and things are good. I'll send an email to the family and talk more about it.

The Tharps are still progressing well, haven't met with them for a while because of their schedule, but we will meet them this Friday and we plan to commit them to baptism!

My health is great. An occassional cough, but it's pretty much all the way gone.

Yes, I got the memory card in the package! I can't believe I forgot to mention that! I LOVED the pictures on the memory card! Those pictures from Seth's farewell and the picture with you and Lyndsay are AWESOME! Thank you!

You got Family Feud on the Wii?! That sounds like a blast! You and I will have to play that when I get home...although you'll probably know all of the answers by then :P ;) Anyway, that sounds like a sweet project, that's nice of you to take the time to do it so that the family reunion will be a good time.

I haven't really had a lot of contact with Sister Smith recently, but I will make sure I get in touch with her and mention that you are curious and see how things are going.

Thanks for the email. Love you tons!

Oh, I have a ton of cheddar cheese because I bought a block of it for grilled cheese sandwiches but I'm tired of those. You should send me ideas and recipes that use cheddar cheese. Thanks :D

Love,

Hey Dad,

I'm glad you enjoyed hearing about the baptisms and the pants ;) I thought that was pretty darn cool too!

I hope I can come up with some really great stories to tell also! lol, I'll make sure they are true ;) I have some stuff that I can talk about, but I'm going to send it in an email to the whole family.

lol, that's kinda funny that Kody didn't remember the glider or the launcher. Do you still have the launcher or does Jake have it? If you have it, do you have a bike to run it with? I do remember you putting the little tiny engine on it! I'm jealous that you got it out and got it running. I was always trying to convince you to get those things running :P My project I want to work on with you when I get home is the Putt-Putt! That would be lots of fun!

That's awesome that you are going to go get a buddy cord too...that way he won't crash it like I did with the styrofoam glider we made ;) (And my Orange plane...it isn't too bad though, just a knick in the wing which isn't too detramental)

Yeah, I was excited not to be transferred too. I will be ready to leave after this transfer but I sure didn't want to leave before this transfer. I am excited to be able to meet the Littlefields and hopefully witness a couple more baptisms!

The Disney skits sound like what Concert Choir did at our social before the school year started! It was SOOOOOO much fun! I'm jealous! I'll be looking forward to the update :D

I was wondering if you could send me an attachment of the picture of the ladies on the moped in Berlin as well as a printed copy sometime. I'm not sure if I'll be able to get the attachment onto my flash drive to take it to Walmart to print it off, so that is why I want both forms. Thanks.

Love,

Hey all,

This week we had the baptisms of the Lucas'! Awesome! Then Sunday we had the confirmations of Missy and her son Jairiko, and then also the confirmations of the Lucas'! It was a cool Sacrament meeting. I confirmed Sis. Lucas which was scary scary scary, but lots of fun! It went well.

We are teaching the Tharps again this Friday and plan to commit them to baptism.

I am excited to meet the Littlefields. They get home on the 20th of March.

I think all in all things are going well and I don't have a ton of new news.

Love,

Elder Jay Davis
