Weekly Letter

     Nancy is off partying again so I told her I would try to get our letter written after I got the apartment cleaned, the dishes done and the laundry in the wash. I hope you all are healthy and strong and enjoying the nice weather that it sounds like you are having. It has been a little nice down here and we have had a little rain this past week which was needed. We also had 3 little earth quakes and that was a little interesting because it had been a few weeks since we have had one. It was interesting because we had just had training in the temple about things like that. They weren't anything big.

     Well BSU is still winning and so that's good. I love football season and it's hard to believe the season is half over. That's what's nice about skype, Ginger and I get to watch the games together after we get back from the temple on Saturday nights and don't have to watch all the time outs and advertisements. It takes about two hours to watch the game.

     We had a really busy week at the temple and the time really went by fast. We are glad to be back on the PM shift and getting to sleep a little longer in the mornings. This week was our stake conference and what a great one. I think it was one of the best ones I have been to. I find myself saying that after every conference so maybe it's my spirit. We had 18 young people getting ready to go out in the mission field from our stake and they did a special number which was very spiritual. They sang Sons of Helaman. Half were young women who can go now when they are 19. Many were waiting to go in a year and a half but can go now. We sang 4 songs as a choir and I thought we did great. It seems that we always have special angels with us.

     We are loving our mission and are looking forward to the Christmas season as they have already started down here. We have been practicing Christmas songs in the choir for about a month getting ready for when we sing. We are healthy and strong and hope all is well with everyone there. Nancy has some pictures but will have to send them next time. I miss the hunting season as Tracy got to go and they got their deer and had a good time. This is the second time that I have missed in a long time but look forward to next fall when I plan on going on a great hunt.

     Thanks for all your prayers and letters. I hope all is receiving them as we have found out that some have not. If you email us I can guarantee you will get a return letter. Have a great week and we love you all. Lon and Nancy and whatever else.
