Hey Mom,

Nope, I didn't get sick. I'm just fine. I was just super warn out as were all of us. I'm sorry to hear that you've had a cold all this week.

That's awesome that the reunion went so well :D I'm glad to hear that. That's awesome that you had the menus planned well and that only the potatoes were leftover. That's awesome that you made hashbrowns with them. That reminds me of you having rice pudding for breakfasts as a kid ;)

The reunion sounds like it was a blast :D Nice and simple but entertaining with lots of socializing time. I'm jealous of the talent show. That sounds really really fun! I won't take lots of time to respond to each detail but I really enjoyed reading about it and it sounds like it was amazing!

That's kinda funny that your ride home was sort of long. That's cool that Kody went to Temple square with some of the Munks. Did he have fun? He might tell me in his email but who knows :) His emails can be unpredictable sometimes lol

My week was great. As for cool stories...Catherine is a lady we're teaching. We set her baptismal date for June 26th and guess what...that's exactly 34 years to the day, after her parents were baptized (as converts)! Pretty wicked awesome! She's a really cool 51 year old lady. She laughs a lot and is very ready to be baptized. She has a baptismal interview with President Pendleton Friday so we'll find out then if she can for sure be baptized. She's had a rough past but she should be fine. She also told us today that she would really like to serve a service mission for the church :D How cool is that?!

Yes, it's still VERY hot, however, like I said, I am dealing with it better than I thought I would. The weather today is supposed to stay in the high 80's and that should be the rest of the week which is way better than upper 90's but it's still hot. I am definitely getting a tan like I hoped. Slowly but surely.

The grocery shopping went well and the cooking went okay. The sugar cookies that I made didn't turn out as well as the first time I made them but they still tasted great. My next thing I'm going to make are the banana chocolate chip cupcakes which I am really really looking forward to making again :D

Sorry I'm kinda short-winded again, but hopefully having a little story was good. I am learning the area well, I am having a blast, and time is cruising by.

Love,

Elder Jay Davis


Hey Dad,

That's crazy that you already had the last Sunday of your term for the BYU ward! That's definitely good that you get a break for the summer :D That's kinda funny that you accidentally moved ALL of the ward records out of the ward ;) It shouldn't be TOO hard to query those back will it?

That's awesome that Kody is already hard at work finding bugs. It's always easier for the proofreader to find mistakes ;) That's good that he's already hard at work.

That sounds like a really fun reunion! Mom seemed very pleased with it! I'm glad that everybody enjoyed themselves. It's also good to hear that Grandma's book turned out so nicely :D

I'm glad that Josh is still happy and well :D Thanks for the continued updates there.

lol, that's awesome that you had J-Dawgs again at the closing social. You told me about those last time and they sounded pretty good. I hope you had fun ;)

That's awesome that Boston is ahead in the series. Our ward mission leader here, Brother Berry, is a big fan of the Lakers, but my companion and I are Lakers haters so we are both rooting heavily for Boston. Thanks for the update though :D It's nice to hear how sports are going :)

I haven't heard much about the world cup from Kody, however I haven't read his email from today yet so I may find out more detail. Thanks for the update. That's awesome that the US held up against one of the favored teams.

That's AWESOME that Boise State accepted the invitation to join the Mountain West Conference. I haven't heard much about the Pac 10 other than the Utah thing. I sure hope that they don't leave our conference because we need them big time.

Thanks for all of the updates. I am doing well and I'm trying hard to drink lots of fluids especially water. I'm not drinking as much as I should I'm sure but I'm doing better than usual ;)

I told Mom about an investigator of ours so you'll have to ask her to share it with you :)

Things are great out here and I'm having TONS of fun :D

Love you,

Elder Jay Davis
