Hi there!

I love all the fun stories about what is going on at home! I wish I had more exciting stories for you all!

The news about Grandma Liz is a little hard to take. It makes me cry, but I do want to know what is going on. Always keep me posted please!

Thanks for the package! When Sister R. brought it she said that it had been opened (probably from rough handling) but there was still a lot of stuff in it. We are pretty stoked about the cookies. We had some today for breakfast (along with hot chocolate). It is cold here today....44 degrees! brrrr....haha ;)

We got a referral sheet with the names of all those people who have ordered things but haven't been updated on the system (if that makes sense) and I called a man on the sheet. He said he was interested in learning more so we set up a time to meet with him. I was looking on our map and realized that the street he lived on didn't exist so I had to call him back. He gave me instructions.

"Sir, where is Fort Street?"
"It is off of xxxxxx road. You go down xxxxx road then turn on Fort."
"I have that there isn't a Fort Street...."
"Its right after third street."
"Oh....."
His accent was such that instead of Fourth Street (when he called into get his DVD) they put down Fort Street....I didn't even understand fourth until after he explained that it was after 3rd street! Even then, his accent was way thick! I should've looked at my Texas lingo book a little closer I'm 'fraid.

That was probably the most funny thing that happened.

I got the package from the ward. That was so sweet of them! I loved it!

Oh! I was going to say the skype account of the woman who said we could use her account, but Ames set one up so I guess I'll be using that one...haha.....Isn't she so so nice? Thanks Ames! (it is xxxxxx@yahoo.com....in case I'm too much of a spaz, but I should be able to figure it out! haha)

I love you all so much and am grateful for all the sacrifices so I can be here! Thank you!
