Hey Mom,

First off, sorry about not responding yesterday. Our schedule is still pretty unpredictable lol. Hopefully I'll get it figured out pretty soon.

As for the mass email you are exactly right! I totally spaced it...ah well...more to write this week eh? ;)

Thank you for the update about your doctor's appointment and what not. I really appreciate being in the loop. So far it sounds like things are positive, at least not negative. Wish it could be even better but hey, we'll take what we can get right? Hopefully the medication for the migraines will be beneficial so you can at least not be in constant pain.

This week was great. We do quite a good job of keeping ourselves busy. We even have an upcoming baptism (which was setup before I got here, but still). Should be good.

The weather is definitely getting more Autumn-like, though it's definitely not as cool as I would like. I mean I would really like for it to just rain. And of course snow would be even better, but that's not gonna happen here.

Wow! Nickel-size hail stones?! That's crazy! Reminds me of one of the storms we had while I was in Anderson. It was AWESOME!

Thank you SOOOOO much for the package! It came in on Saturday but we were busy all day and then Monday was a holiday (Columbus Day, I'm sure you knew that) so I just got it today :D I am SOOOOOOOOOOOO excited for the zucchini bread and I thought it was awesome that you did them in mini-loaves. That's perfect! I have been craving that bread lately and I was bragging about it to somebody the other day!

Thank you for the piano music. I didn't want you to BUY new music. I was only going to use it one time so you should have just made a copy of the one you already had. You already have the solo version so you could always just make a copy of that. It's in your binder with all of the sheet music and stuff. Anyway, thank you Mom! I really appreciate it! I am so grateful for all you do :) I hope you know it!

OH OH OH!!! Downtown Brown! Yeah, he was in my zone when I was in Yuba City. I played the New Years Mormon Bowl with him ;) HAHAHA! I totally know who you're talking about! That's AWESOME that he is Sister Morgan's grandson (and yes I remember Sister Morgan) She owned the school supply store (or at least worked there). That's freakin' awesome! I wish I had known that sooner, I'm pretty sure he's home now. Ah well.


I love you back!

Love,

Hi Dad!

The battle is going great and I'm smiling lots. :D

That's good that things with Mom's doctor appointment went well. Mom sounds very positive about it. I'm very glad to hear that she might have a way out of the major migraines! I hope they really help her. She said it might take a month or two before they can tell if it's actually going to work.

That's AWESOME that you made a job offer to Dan and from the sounds of it he accepted! I'm excited that you two will be working together. Does that mean that if I were to come and take Kody's job when I get back I would work for Dan? ;) Anyway, I wouldn't want to steal Kody's spot and I don't even know if it'd be available by then.

That's awesome that you saw Kody at Church. That's kind of a weird thought to think of the fact that you hadn't seen him all that much before that. I mean I know he comes home on the weekends at least for Sunday dinner right? Anyway, pretty scary thought having him not live at home! I can only imagine how it is for you and Mom lol. That's awesome that he was wearing his missionary suit and looked really sharp!

Yeah, don't worry, I'll tell you guys more this week. Last week I totally spaced sending the mass email ;)

Anyway, I love you tons!

Love,

Hola,

Things in Wheatland are AWESOME! Unfortunately I am running way over on my time so I'll have to keep things short.

Wheatland is a tiny little town, but we have a decent ward. It was fun attending church this week. My first week was General Conference so I didn't get to meet the ward. I really enjoyed meeting the members. Next to seeing people enter the waters of baptism, getting to know the members is my favorite part of my mission.

Last night my companion and I had the opportunity to cook a dinner for one of the less-active member families in our ward. It was a lot of fun. We made Rouladen, mashed potatoes and corn. It turned out very nicely, especially for my first time making it by myself.

Um...we have Beale Air Force Base in our area. We were on base every day my first week here. It was kinda fun, we only go on base when we get called on, but the members do that each time they feed us and stuff. It's pretty awesome! Apparantely Beale is one of the most important intel bases in the whole world! Pretty cool eh?! Little things we'd never know unless you serve in Wheatland, CA!

Love you all,

Elder Jay Davis
