Dear Maren,
I got another shutterfly order form thingy. Did you send me more pictures or was this from the last order? Oh, I got the pictures this week and I really enjoyed looking through them, but I have one question, why was almost everyone wearing green? And Brody is at that cute phase where he knows how to smile for pictures. I am sure Austin looks cute in person, but in almost every picture he looked like he was trying to hatch an evil plot. Being Toren's son, he might be doing that. Braden looks so big when you put him next to Brody and Austin. Not to be mean, but I didn’t realize how big of a head Brody has. Of course Brody wants to do anything Braden does. Braden's older and can do more things and if you give it time, Braden will get annoyed by it then when you have another Brody will get annoyed by it. It is the circle of life. You're tired all the time, talk about the circle of life. Mom was tired all the time when we were all at home. Maren, if you're tired all the time, then why are you going to run a half marathon?
Maren, if you want the memory card, mom and dad have to send the first one home. I haven’t taken as many pictures but thank you. Things have gotten better in Jay. The worst thing is the companionship. Do you remember how you and Mallory fought? Yeah, it's like that. He is annoying me all the time now. We went to dinner at a families house and Brother & Sister A (not going to tell you the name) start to get in an argument and almost word for word it was the same argument that Elder Jones and I had this morning. Thank goodness he is going home next transfer.
No one needs service. Everyone is so far away they do it all them selves and they don’t want us to do anything because it's too hot. So we get to tract a lot. Yes, I do remember when Kristina did a British accent. I wasn’t that fond of her during that time because she was trying to be something she was not.
Yeah, Marquita's boyfriend is more active now. He is in a different branch. The best thing is her boyfriend's brother just got back from his mission (Brazil) and really laid into the line for his family. He is doing scripture study every night and really gets on his mom for saying bad things about Marquita. Which is good.
I had the best zone conference yet. President Jensen runs Zone Conference differently then President Summerhays did, but I guess the career makes the President. President Summerhays was a business manager so we had to have our suit jackets on and in our seat 10 minutes early. We did the same thing with President Jensen but then when he walked in he said, "oh elders, you can take your suit jackets off if you wish." Which everyone did because it was 94 degrees outside. We learned about the same thing we always learn about. How obedience brings the spirit. We need the spirit to do anything as a missionary. Maren, could you ask Blake to tell you about how his Zone Conferences were run when he was on his mission? Mine is run very different than most missions.
So tracting, we ran into this lady Miss Barbara (not her last name) and she was friends with Brother Ivy, so she invited us in and then we talked for awhile.

Something sweet happened this week. We got letters from the Jr. Primary. It brightened our day. We got them because they had a lesson on missionary work. Keep in mind that it is a branch so the Jr. Primary is 2 kids. It was still sweet.
