Hey Mom,

Email schedule should be more stable because we aren't using the member's computer anymore because they moved, which sucks, but it's nice that we don't have to guess about what time we'll be emailing. The library isn't the best, but it works, and I'm grateful to have it and the stability will be nice.

Yeah...it's pretty boring with no ward activities. They finally had one, it was the ward trunk-or-treat and chili cook-off. It went really well and the chili was great. We even decided to dress up (both of our costumes let our missionary attire show through a bit so we figured it'd be fun ;)) Anyway, I'll try and send pictures of our costumes, we got a pretty funny picture of the two of us!

The favorite family from this area is named the Gormans. They are my favorite because they are just really nice and the kids are awesome and they were the family that would let us use their computer to email on Mondays. The Coopers from Anderson and a couple other families are my favorites too though, you know me and favorites!

Yep, I did take pictures of my costume :D Nothing super fun or exciting on Halloween, just played games in the apartment since we had to be inside by 6 p.m. That's awesome that you had a lot of trick-or-treaters. We played a pretty fun church game called Hold to the Rod. It was supposed to be really difficult according to the members but Elder Garcia and I played it and really enjoyed it.

That's so cool all the missionaries that are leaving! It's sort of hard for me to fathom but it's jusrt super exciting more than anything!

Love you tons!

Hey!

Well the main happenings of this week involve Halloween.

Our ward finally had an activity. It was the Trunk-or-treat and chili cook-off! There was a TON of chili and they were all really really good! There was also cornbread and our ward mission leader's wife made the BEST cornbread ever! I really enjoyed it.

My companion, Elder Garcia, and I dressed up even because we figured it'd be appropriate to show that we are normal people that can have fun. Both of our costumes still showed some of our missionary garb which we wore under them plus we had our name tags on our costumes to be seen. It was a lot of fun, we got lots of comments and people still knew we were the missionaries so it was awesome!

I have pictures of us in our costumes, but I left the camera and cable in the car so I will have to send those next week. My apologies!

Uh...I don't know that there was anything all that interesting other than that.

I am constantly meeting people who know where Santaquin is which blows my mind. Then I also meet people who know people from Santaquin and Payson. I met somebody who was Jace Nielson's (Not the one in choir) Aunt! It was pretty cool! They came to church in Wheatland of all places. Very small world! I really enjoy making connections with people!

Well...I don't have much more to say. I can't believe I'm turning 21 in just 10 short days!

Hopefully I'll be more interesting next week. I say that every week, but maybe one week it'll actually happen ;)

Love,

Elder Jay Davis
