Hi ya'll!

It is sad to hear the news about J. and C.'s parentals. I will keep them in my prayers. I have decided that I hate cars because of all the destruction they cause. When I get back I'm not driving anymore....well, thats a lie, but sometimes I wish that could be the case. Actually, that is a big lie. Brother L. inspired me to get a junk car when I get back, drive it ‘til it dies and hitchhike back to wherever I need to be. He is doing that soon and I have always wanted to and I think that is going to be in the plans.

Also, this week, haha, I got pulled over! I was going 35 on a 55 mph road. The officer pulled me over and said it was rush hour traffic and I could cause a wreck. He asked if I knew where I was going and I said no. That helped.... He just told me to be more careful. Then, he said (out of the blue), "I went to ya'lls website today." Then I thought, "That's why I was pulled over.... the Spirit did it!" He was looking up food storage stuff because of what is going on in the world. He wasn't interested in learning more at the moment, but he was nice....so there you go. I've officially been pulled over now, but it wasn't because of me, it was because he needed the missionary contact! ;) IT was in H....random!

So we get fed so much. If we didn't tract for a few hours a day I'd probably be getting pretty huge. But yes, we tract ALOT!

We've been getting fed lasagna a lot! You always hear stories of missionaries getting the same foods over and over again. Well, that is what it is like with lasagna. It isn't my favorite food, but the tag I think makes you like all foods....I even eat tomatoes sometimes. bleh...they still disgust me, but I eat them. I don't fully understand. Also, the other day, we had a member take us to lunch-a mexican restaurant, then we had members take us to dinner-a mexican restaurant. Luckily I got two completely different things, but I am done with chips and salsa for a while!

Padre, did you know a B.H.? He says that you sound familiar. He was in T. and worked for the road crew for a year. He was there in the early 70s....Well, he and his fam just moved here from Utah. I got real excited. We know a lot of the same people. He said something about R. and I just laughed...I said I wasn't too fond of him....I think so anyway....haha. He knows the B. and a few other common people I know.

Oh, exciting! There is a Cold Stone real close so if K. wants to send me my birthday Coldstone ice cream coupon, I wouldn't mind. :D

I got the package today. It was pretty exciting. Even more exciting, Sister W. doesn't like sugar cookies so I get them all to myself but still got the points of sharing. :D Life is good. She likes the apple chips. And the CDs are godsent because I'm so sick of Motab..... :) :S

guess what? I was going to email pictures but I left my camera in the car. I don't want to lose my email spot so you'll just have to wait. I am sending you a letter that has some pictures in it. Also, I finally filled up the camera card, so I will be sending that to you shortly.

I can't remember what else I was going to tell you so I'll just have to wait. I still have lots of emails to write and no time! bleh....

Oh, mom, did you go to the Maui Taco place in the Minneapolis airport? it is in the B terminal I think. The tacos are so good there! I was going to tell you last week but I forgot....random, but it is good. I'm glad that you made it and made it safely! I'm jealous. I love flying! It is so fun! I think I should be a pilot or a stewardess sometimes....or someone that organizes and trains those people! That would be fun! :D

Love you!
