Hello Family,

So, because yesterday was a holiday, the library was closed. I thought we wouldn't have a chance to come back later this week. So, when you read my letters, which I need to mail, you might be confused. I am e-mailing this week and you will recieve a letter. Yay! This one will be brief though, since all I wanted to say is in the other letter.

Mother and Father:

Elder Kanno has opened up. We have a lot in common and have a lot of great conversations. I heard about Yogi. How big are the anti-biotics? It sounds like he hates them. I got your package today, but I haven't had time to open it. The mission field is SO busy.

I got the watch. It's awesome and it is so nice to be able to know what time it is! I didn't get my license in the field yet. There is the agreement thing I have to fill out and I totally spaced it. So, I won't be driving until most likely next transfer. Which I don't mind. I love the pillow. Lying down to sleep is my favorite time of the day, lol.

Kalie and Kevin:

Holy cow! Isaac (Clark) is growing up so fast. There are so many different types of foods he is eating. It's a good thing he is eating them though. It could be much worse. He could be picky like I was. I call Isaac 'Isaac Clark' because the hero from a video game has that name. And Isaac Cole is SO close, I can't resist.

Brock:

Awaiting your response to the game...I've ran into some strange Anti-Mormon stuff. One man claimed he heard continuity between members and our doctrine. When we asked what he had heard so we could clear it up, he went all Anti on us. Saying how we believe that Jesus and Satan are brothers, and aliens from another planet, and that the only way to get to heaven is marrying multiple wives. And the only way they can get in is if we choose them...lol. Yeah, he didn't hear that from a member. Elder Cook and I had a good laugh about that guy. Some people are such jerks. Honestly. Most people in Lacey are actually pretty nice. They turn us down gently. But som other people are just so mean. Oh, well. There is no point in complaining about it. It's great here, but part of my still can't believe it's only been a week, and I still have 95 to go. Oh well. I'll just work as hard as possible and when it's over, I'll be on the other end of the spectrum.

Alyssa:

Good luck in the competition. I know you will do well. Just practice as much as you can. And stick to it, piano, that is. Because you never know what you will regret when you grow up. I regret quitting piano and band. It was who I was and once that went away, I felt incomplete. And, believe me, you will be greatful that you stuck with it. When someone plays a really cool song, you will be able to sit down and play an even cooler song. I wish I was able to do that, but...no. I can't.

Well, the letters will hopefully be shipped today, but they will come this week. I am just so busy, I don't have time for freakin' anything. Well, loves and handshakes to you all.
