Hey y'all!!

Hey, while you are making changes to the house, get Chriff to build that secret passage we were going to build...:) Anyway, I can't believe how busy it is down there, I still remember when Jameson left and there was no one home. It seems I always miss out on stuff...jk, I feel you guys are missing out on a lot of things here! I love Dwight, he is so funny, I remember when he saw me in Texas and he was so excited he peed on the floor, then he wouldn't get off my leg, so then my pants were drenched in drool. I agree, he is a very cute dog.

It is great to hear that everything continues to go great for you guys, and that Jameson is still free from injury.... I can't believe Ashton is able to take aviation classes, I heard those are expensive! He should get an air traffic job in Missouri, because those people are going to make bank in the Millennium, everybody is going to be flying to Adam-ondi-ahman! I bet that was his plan this whole time. About the sleep walking, yeah they tell me what I say, I'm glad they don't talk to me every night, that would just be mean. Let me know each week who the guys are dating, I want to keep track of their progression! Also how is Daniel? Haven't heard from him lately, like four months...

About the pictures, I will send them tomorrow. There are some good ones here too, but I missed on some good picture opportunities, like when we washed a less-active's dog, which ran away for an hour. I missed taking pictures for Easter day too, which I'm kinda sad about. But that is just more motivation for the future!

Lots of things have been happening around here. I have definitely seen the Lord's hand in our work. A family who has been preparing for baptism moved into our area from Montana. They are super close to making that step, but have some concerns, but we will help them and they are excited to come to church now. What are the odds? We have also set a BCD for an investigator who has been investigating for a year now, and finally agreed to a date, next week's Saturday, it will be my first, I'm pretty excited. It's great to feel the spirit so much and to help others feel the spirit by teaching with it. An investigator said after a lesson as we were walking out. "I feel like I have a sunburn," but then said, "or like I just walked out of a mass or something." It was kind of strange, but I was eager to reveal that it was the spirit. It was definitely an awesome experience for all of us.

We just barely had our apartment checked by Elders Buchannan and Hamilton, both from Utah and both in our home town! It was fun talking to them. Yes, we did pass, but they told us to get rid of most of the stuff from the previous elders.

Well, good to hear from you guy's again, and I'll be planning on skyping you on Mother's Day, in a couple of weeks, so be ready!

Also, are you putting my emails in my blog back home? Just curious :). And let me know when Dwight eats the hamster, or sits on him...

Love you all!!
