Dear Mom,To answer your questions, in order, are:
How's your new place? What's it like? Are you still as close to the temple as you were?
1. It is pretty cool, has a lot more space, and the apartment complex I am in now is right next to the old one.
Hey are you interested in us sending you general conference on CD what about any kind of music? Do you have a CD player in your apartment?
2. No, I am good.
Any other requests for your next package?
3. I would greatly appreciate it if you could send me some more cookbooks.
Tell me the greatest or most faith promoting thing that has happened these last couple weeks.
And 4. I had the craziest experience, the details of which are something I would only feel comfortable telling in person. But the synopsis is that I met a a man who claimed to be the son of an LDS bishop, and man was this guy drunk, and yet I had the impression that he still felt the Spirit. I would have to tell you the details at a later date, as it would take far too long to tell.
I will try my best to get Jack's name in. I am going to go ahead and get the last of the pictures taken, and then I will send the camera along with my phone.I love you all so much, and miss you terribly.
Love,
Elder Huston

Hey Mom!
You'll never believe 2 things: 1. As of May 1, young downtown elders are not allowed to own cell phones! And 2. They are closing down our apartment and giving it to a married couple!!!!! We are moving out on Monday! It royally STINKS! Anyway, I am probably going to have to send my cell phone back to you pretty soon.I love you all so much, and I really miss you guys.
Love,Elder Huston

Out 2 months and 5 days
This picture was taken right after General Conference. Some friends of ours just happened to see Tres walking across the street. Thousands of people everywhere and they see my missionary! (Thanks Betty and Charlie!)
Here's Tres' latest letter with mom's questions in orange:
I'm guessing you didn't get a chance to check your email last week because of conference.
Hi Mom!You are correct there, the Library was closed for Conference.
Did you get to watch conference?
Did you get the Easter package I sent?
Was it all melted ans scattered everywhere?
Do you get to call home on Mothers Day?
Are your allergies making you crazy yet?
Are you staying in budget?
The answers to all of those is yes. (thanks for eleborating...NOT!)
Are you taking pictures?
I am taking pictures, but only of very special or VERY funny moments (although most of the ones I've taken so far lean more towards the latter).
Any requests for treats or anything in your next package?
Since you asked, do you think you could send me the following: a collared shirt (e.g. polo); a pad of graph paper; a lined paper notebook (for personal use); a zip-up tie/clip-on for quick occasions (like when I am emailing you);some more cactus jelly; some more of those disposable eyeglass wipes; a hoody; and some kind of awesome Arizona-themed tie tack? If you could I would greatly appreciate it. All the elders wanted me to thank you for the Easter baskets, by the way. Thank you for everything.
Love,
Elder Huston
