hola, so i am going to the temple for my year mark tomorrow and im excited because i haven't gone in a few months. because of the mass amounts of missionaries, we don't really go with our mtc groups. it's kinda random now. but i don't mind. it's not who i go with, but that i go anyway.

  hey brian, i'm sending you a cool tie for christmas. i think it's being sent today, so it'll get there this week i guess. i'm buying it through a company and they'll mail it for me.

  my finger is taking it's time to heal. it's not scabbing, and i've lost feeling in a very small  spot on the other side of the cut, between the nail and the cut itself.  i just  have to be careful with it.

 i'm excited for maggie to have puppies. can you name one after me?

it snowed all day saturday, then rained all night into sunday and now the snow is all gone.  and we spent 2 hours shoveling the block from 9-11. to be nice. but it was time well wasted because of the rain.  but i made hot chocolate and had fun making it. i made videos of all the steps. i'll find a way to send them home

 oh ya, i'm glad we got our ipads when we did, because shortly after, my camera died. it can turn on and i can look through the pics. but it's all black when it is on. so idk what happened. i was using it earlier. like we were at flushing meadows, and i used it to make a vid of the field. then we went to see the huge metal globe thing and it turned on but it was all black as if it wasn't on.

  oh well. ipad has two cameras, hehe.

 i'll probably email later, we're going shopping now. we'll be at the church later, so i'll use my ipad then.  

see ya.

I got goat cheese today just to try it. I just remembered its still in the car, and we're here playing ball at the church. But it's freezing out there so the trunk is probably as cold or colder than a fridge already.
  I was thinking I could be a fine cheese consumer. I can't think of the word I want. Connesuer something.
 But I was looking at all the cheeses and there are so many. And it would be cool to be a cheese person. Know things. About cheese.
