Hey Mom :D

That's funny that you called me Elder Jay, a lot of my friends call me that lol

First week in Wheatland...pretty uneventful. I'll talk more about the details in a mass email later. Elder Garcia and I get along quite well. He's not much of a fan of how indecisive I am but he's got to give me a break since I really don't know the area and it's not like there's a lot to do ya know? It'll be good though, we get along well. He is very trunky, but it's fun serving with him nonetheless. I think this area would make anybody trunky just because it has so little to do ya know? I am not disappointed at all that I don't get to drive, it's nice to just sit back and relax for a while during the driving time ;) We have one promising investigator which for the size of the town is great. I will talk more about her in the mass email as well. Yep, General conference was GREAT! Very different from the others I've seen on my mission.

That's awesome that you've got all of his Mr. Mac shopping done. That's the biggest part. I'm sure you probably still have some more to do but not much. That stinks that he has to get so many stinkin' shots! Tell him that if he doesn't want to get stuck in the MTC forever he'd better get on that so the Visa application can get entered! I hate shots!

Uh...Aunt Colleen is packing up...are they moving? Wow...people have good memories ;) J/K it's all good! That's crazy that they are moving!

That's really cool that you and Dad both helped with the move. Sounds like a really nice house. I am looking forward to seeing it.

That's AWESOME that you got a violin from Uncle Mitchell! I am excited to hear you play when I get back :) You'll be much better by then so no worries.

That's awesome that you were able to learn why your cello wasn't sounding as good as you'd like and that you were able to fix it! I am excited to hear that too! Man, I have to learn how to play guitar, cello, and violin when I get home! I should relearn how to play the trumpet (though I never fully knew), and to top it all off I need to refresh my trombone skills ;) Should be a lot of fun!

Sounds like you had a great week. Thanks for the email :D

Love,

Elder Jay Davis


Hey Dad,

Yeah...I heard about the embarrassing loss! I could hardly believe we lost to the worst team in the whole wide world...okay just in the conference, but still! I was VERY upset! Ah well, what's done (or not done) is done. I had the opportunity to catch a glimpse of a couple crappy defensive plays and I was just disgusted!

I wish I would have taken more pictures early on in my mission. I need to do better now too. At least I have some pictures of a few families which is the most important part to me anyway.

HAHA! That's awesome that you remembered all of those stories that I've told you! You are good at this ;) I guess to me it seems like the stories I tell last for about a week and then are forgotten, but I guess not.

Well, today was the first day I heard that Aunt Colleen is moving. Mom said the house is really nice. That's funny that you found that you are really out of shape. So am I, and I usually realize it most when I'm helping people out here move. That's really cool that there house is very close to the temple.

It's really bizarre having a companion that's going home soon lol, I don't really know how to describe it though.

Love you,

Elder Jay Davis
