hello family. i loved the elk leg story. i can imagine. that's funny.

   so we had stake conference this weekend, and pres calderwood spoke about hastening the work, then about how easy it is to use technology.  like how when we talk to people on the streets or their porch, we say hey can we come in your house and talk to you about jesus?  and they might be scared to let two strangers in their house.  but we can use facebook now,  so we can tell these people to add us on facebook!   

 then he said "the missionaries don't know this yet, but they will be getting their ipads and iphones on november 11" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  exclamation point.

   so we're excited. like i couldn't even pay attention to the next talk.  and then pres hardman, the stake pres talked a lot on how to be good parents, like about the sermon on the mount  i think.. blessed are the peacemakers. really cool.

 and elder law told me he (pres hardman) used to be totally against the church. .like he was like alma, trying to destroy the church. then somehow got converted and now he's a super strong stake pres!

   so lets see... i can't believe it's the last week of the transfer already. six weeks flies when you're having fun.  man....    i had a lot of bread so i decided we should make french toast this morning. so elder law made us some. it was good. and we played magic and i won, using a deck law made for me. i totally destroyed elder bey with like 8 creatures that were pretty strong, then i drew a card that gave all of them 3 extra power. hehe i'm a magic nerd now.
  

  we hope that we can talk to hardy more times during the week when we get our ithings. like we can only meet on sundee, but with skype, things will get better i hope.  we want to commit him to be dunked on nov 9. that would be good.  i also hope law stays one more transfer, or if he leaves, i'd get someone who's been here before and knows the people.  like i had help with that in my other areas, lynbrook, bay shore. both my new comps in those areas were people who had been there before.
  

i have an idea of something i'd want for christmas. i found it at a store. i'll post a link to it on a separate email to dad. it's kinda pricey at the store, so maybe it's cheaper on amazon...  but it looks like a bit of fun and frustration. it's a puzzle ball. 

  i saw the list, i don't know if you want me to pick something and you guys will buy it,,, or what?   llike last year i guess i got kayla that snuggie.  but we could do that process. i guess.......

i hate this keyboard

maybe we can do emailiing on our ipads as well. but i hate typing on them unless we get those fancy keyboard cases.
  

every missionary will get a personal one.  that's a lot of money. but as long as it's used for good it'll be worth it.

  we've only had the use of facebook for a little while and we've already had a lot of success from it. that's something pres said yesterday as well. 
 

 every once in a while i get a little heart burning feeling in my throat, but i don't eat acidic food or whatever would cause it. it's kinda random. i've been taking them tums, but it doesn't seem to help.  and yesterday morning i think i started getting a cold.  but i was just sick! so i can't be sick again! it's only been like 3 weeks since last time i was sick.    but today i feel better.

  the weather is nice. cold but nice.

   the trees are changing. and every day elder law says he wants to be in central park so bad. to see the trees and stuff.  and he likes this cold weather.

  i'm not used to this kind of cold. the humidity adds deathly chills to it.
 

  i don't know what else to say.  our investigators are doing well. of course i'll let you know of any improvements.

 till next week
