This week was so fun.

In answer to your question this one boy came back from Indonesia and now although i still blush a little saying it, I am dating someone.

So he worked all the beginning of this week and then on Thursday we went to the temple to do a session together.  Then on Friday we hung out with Cassi and Brian Felt and the family in Salt Lake, watched the BYU game (their homecoming game, which they won in double overtime), and played foosball (he won twice but I won once) and played this hilarious card game and at the end, we grabbed a caldron and threw cards into it to see who could flip the most cards into the bucket.  Then Saturday, we went hiking in Bells canyon, went to grab some Greek food for dinner, and then went on this really pretty moonlight tram ride at Sundance.  And today he is going to eat dinner with our family.  So it has been a good weekend so far.  He is a good guy, and I like hanging out with him, so we'll see where it goes.  Haha, I would say more, but then, I am sure that mom will include stuff about him in her email, so you can just read her email.

On the spiritual side, I was talking to Jordan yesterday and he was saying that there are a lot of vain repetitions in the gospel, and a lot of times, prayer can be one of them.  I mean, what do you say when you pray over your food?  That it can bless and strengthen you.  Why?  Because that is what everyone else says.  And the next question is, how could you change that?  I think that one thing that can make my food prayers more meaningful is to think one of things that I had seen God do in my life that morning, one thing I was grateful for.  

Anyway, I love you.  And I hope that everything is going well in your mission, and that you are applying all the cool General Conference talks to your investigators as best you can.  I always had so many ideas for investigators after conference, but then I didn't have access to the talks for months.  It always frustrated me.  So if you ever need us to send you a talk in Spanish you can print out and use untill you can get the real Spanish ensign, let me know, ok?!

Love,
