Mom,

Yeah, I am loving seeing an improvement in my piano playing. Thanks for not being surprised lol.

I'm sorry that you weren't as pleased with your sacrament performance as you would have liked. I'm sure it was great. I'm glad I'm not the only one that gets nervous though. Luckily for me I am starting to overcome it a teeny tiny bit lol! You'll do great in Relief Society.

Thanks for the updates on marriages and stuff. That's good that Jeremy and Erin were happy :) I'm excited for Seri too, even though it's crazy as heck to think about ;)

lol, thanks for the email...I'm jealous that you got to go mow the lawn. ;)

Love,

Hey Dad,

My week has been really good. Honestly I don't remember a whole lot of what we did. I do remember that one of the days...Saturday...we had 6 lessons and we had a goal for 9 which would have been awesome. 6 of 9 is really good in missionary work though! I'll tell you more about that later.

That's a bummer for all involved that Kody is done at TP on Thursday but it'll be nice for him to get ready for college. I miss working with you :D

Glad to hear that things at work are good though.

That's crazy that cherries are over. I guess it's actually quite a ways into August so it's probably even a late season, but it seems crazy that it's over already. I'm SO excited to get to do that again :D That's cool that Uncle Gary got to work at the plant this year.

That's awesome! I'm soooooo excited for Josh and Jacob. Thanks for the updates and tell them congratulations from me.

That's awesome that Josh has already been in the field two weeks! Time is just FLYING by! I realized that Weston Marsh who got his call a bit ago will have been out only 6 months when I get home ;)

This email has indeed found me happy and well :) Hopefully mine finds you in similar condition ;)

Love,

Hey All,

So I keep getting requests for stories. Well I can't really think of a lot to be honest with you but this one will have to suffice for this week.

This past Saturday which was the 7th as the subject states, we had plans for 9 lessons in a single day plus some N.ew N.on M.ember contacts (NNC's). Well we started with breakfast and getting flea market ties with Brother Berry our ward mission leader. Next we had a lesson at 10 with Rochelle who hopefully will be baptized in a couple months if she can quit smoking. Then a lesson with Roy at 11. Both of those lessons Brad came with us (a recent convert priest of about a year who plans on a mission in the early months of next year). Then we had lunch. After lunch we picked up Ropa (a samoan priest who lives with his uncle here in the states) who came with us to the other 4 lessons we had which I can't even remember them all! It was AWESOME! Busy day, we were VERY warn out by the end of the day, but it was nice to feel like we'd done a lot.

All in all we were able to teach 6 lessons and I believe we got 20 NNC's (the weekly mission goal per companionship is 84 so 20 a day is good). So we were three short of our goal of lessons but it was an awesome day!

That's my story for the week. Hopefully it's good enough ;)

Love,
