At the top of the big BM

June 7, 2010:

Well I'm going to email early this morning because I don't know if I will be able to email later today.  We are at our ward mission leaders house this morning.  We stayed the night here because we have to go to Fallon on Tuesday and he is going to take us to Winnemucca today so that we can spend the night there tonight and drive with the missionaries from Winnemucca to Zone meeting in Fallon.  Oh and we live about 7 miles from town and so he drove us last night to pick up some stuff for tonight and tomorrow night and we just stayed here.  Oh breakfast is ready, I gotta go.  Hopefully I'll be back.

PS  Battle Mountain isn't too bad.  It's true about the article.  the armpit is only inches from the heart.  I am starting to love the people here already.  Weird how missionary work does that to you.  :)

Later:

So I'm in Winnemucca now.and we helped some people put a pool in their back yard.  They are really cool.

 

So in Battle Mountain we live in a double wide that has no room at all.  We are in this cramped little room that is half filled with their kid's stuff.  The only things that I was able to unpack were my shirts and pants and suits.  It kinda sucks.  They don't even want us there.  It is only temporary.  We are trying to find a place to rent.

 

So everybody here think it is so hillarious that I'm short.  It's like I'm living in elementary school land.  It's kinda funny what people think is amusing.

 

Tami, I so wish people would talk to their neighbors here in America.  Missionary work would be so much easier.

 

Dang, I'm so proud of my (not so) little nephew and niece.  Keep up the good work with the music!  Tell Todd that I wish that I knew how to play the piano.  It impresses the ladies (off the mission) and the investigators (on the mission).

 

I saw Alice in Wonderland in Walmart.  I want to see the whole thing.  I also saw a little bit of Avatar.  I need to see that one too.  And someone needs to tell me how Avatar: The Last Airbender turns out.

 

Well that's about it for me. I love you all.
