Here are your questions in order:
What's you favorite thing to eat at the COB?
I really like the pizza bar on Mondays.
Do you have chores?
Not exactly.
Are there other elders that work with you in Data Analysis and how many things do you analyze each day?
There are no other elders in my district who work in Data Analysis. Come to think about it, only one other elder in my district who even works in the Joseph Smith Memorial Building, and that is the new guy.
Do you ever use your cell phone?
Not very often; I mostly just use it for an alarm clock.
Do you get to go to the visitor center?
I have only been there once, and that was my first week here.
Who's your favorite room mate/companion and why?
Definitely Elder Savage, because you can have a conversation with him on just about anything.
What's the best or most interesting thing that's happened to you this week?
It was actually something that just happened about an hour ago. I was coming back from grocery shopping when Elder Wilkinson (he is my assistant zone leader) and I stopped at Wendy's for a quick lunch. This man there gave us $10 for a meal. How nice is that? Anyway, they moved the young elders around a bit so we have a new companion in our district named Elder Walker. Unfortunately, they moved the young Elder Ford out. By the way, do you think you could send a few other things in my package? If so, I would greatly appreciate it if you could send a bunch of those funny lists (e.g. 50 Ways to Mess with People in a Computer Lab,etc.).
I miss you all.
Love,
Elder Huston

Dear Mom,
In order, the answers to your questions are:
We sent out your treat box on Monday. When did you get it? Just trying to figure out how long it takes a package to get there.
Friday.
General Conference is in a couple weeks, are you going to the conference center? Let me know so I can watch for you on TV.
Yes, but possibly only for the priesthood session.
Have you tried any good recipes?
Not yet, but I will pretty soon. Sunday, in fact.
Do you cook just for yourself or for the other guys too?
Usually just me.
When you go to the COB from the JSMB do you get to walk underground in the tunnels or do you walk outside?
I walk outside, mainly because even though there is a tunnel, it goes through the underground parking area.
The FDA (data analysis) department is really starting to grow on me. It is growing a little more enjoyable. Oh, for my next package, do you think you could send some short-sleeved church shirts? It is starting to get a little too warm for a full suit.
I love and miss you all terribly, but I am glad I came out here.
Love,
Elder Huston

Mom's questions are in red.
How do you like your new companion? He is pretty cool, although he has a tendency to go off on very intense tangents, and combine that with the fact that he talks just like someone who grew up in New York, and it is kind of weird.
Do the cookbooks I sent have what you're looking for or should I send you a different one? They have what I need for now. What are the Family Home Evenings like? Pretty much like any other, except we call it "District Meeting". Do you go to the temple every week? I try to. How's the Money situation? I am fine Tell me one good experience you've had so far. This Monday we had a talk given to us about Passover. I learned a lot about Jewish culture, and the talk was given to us by this guy named Daniel Rona. He is a Jew-turned-Mormon. How cool is that?!
In my next package, do you think you could send me some sweets and more cactus jelly? I have had a serious craving for sweets lately.
Say hi to everyone for me. I love you.
Love,
Elder Huston

week 4
Dear Mom,
If you could print out those maps and picture and send them, that would be great. I can print, but it costs money to do so. Also, if you could send me my dictionary and any Book of Mormon-ish card games you could spare, that would be great. You see, we are allowed to play games as long as: a) they are appropriate and b) they are not too competitive (e.g. Risk). Oh, and also if you could send me a couple of recipes for various marinades, that would be greatly appreciated. I love you.
