Dear Mom,
The answers to your ?'s, in order, are: How is life in the great state of Utah? 1. Pretty good. Are your suits and shirts holding up and are they still fitting? 2. Yes. Zach wants to know what you thought of the rubberband ball he sent in the last package...that was his favorite pick! 3. I saw it and I thought to myself, "Some things never change. Zach's goofiness is one of them." Hey you mentioned in your last letter that you had a hard time getting up last week. Were you sick? 4. No, I don't think so, I think I was just having an off-day. You said your new companion is "not so motivated" I hope it isn't wearing off on you. I'd hate for you to become lazy, that's just not your style. What's going on? 5. Nothing, really. He is a great guy. I just have to stay strong.
Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you last week that someone dropped by at work. He told me to tell you that Bob Burr says hi (not sure if that is how his last name is spelled, though). By the way, what happened to you sending me a picture of the whole family? Not that I'm complaining, but I thought it would be nice to have it.
I love you all, and I hope that everything is going as well for you as it is for me.
Love,
Elder Huston

Dear Mom,
The answers to your ?'s, in order, are: What is your new companion like? 1. He is an even bigger sloth than I was before coming out here (I know, I didn't think that was possible either). Other than that, he is pretty cool. Where is he from? 2. He is from Idaho. Tell me about the family history work you are doing.3. I have been trying to further Dad's line (the one that bears the Huston name), and boy, is it hard. Have you gone to the temple lately? 4. Yes, I just went on Thursday and was able to do an endowment session and I put Uncle Donald's name on the prayer roll. Is it starting to cool off up there yet? 5. Not yet. Would you be interested in a digital camera? 6. Sure, I guess. Can you down load the pictures on the computer and send them to us if you did have one? 7. I am not 100% sure I am allowed to do that. I will have to get back to you on that. Hows the cooking going? 8. Very well. Who drives the van?9. Elder Temple.
I am really starting to enjoy being out here (I could do without all this humidity, though). Say hi to everyone for me.
Love,Elder Huston

Dear Mom,
I am doing fine. Answers to your ?'s, in order, are: How's the new apartment? 1. Great. I am so glad that I am away from that evil little munchkin. What is your new senior companion like? 2. He is... well, let's just say he is a challenge. Tell me the names of all the guys in your apartment now.3. Elder Shipton(my senior companion), Elder Temple, and Elder Swenson(who, incidentally, also had Elder Squire as a trainer).Were you able to use either mine or dad's story? 4. No. But don't worry, I found something. 5 Was it for a district meeting or something? . Yes. Anyway, we get to use vans now for grocery shopping. It is pretty cool. I hate to cut this short, but I have some family research I wanted to do.Tell everyone I said hi.

Dear Mom,
It is alright about the pioneer day thing, it surprised me too, mostly because Utah is apparently the only state that celebrates it. Go figure! Anyway to answer your ?'s: Did you get my letter last week with the money.1. Yes. How are you doing on allergy medicine? 2. Fine. Is there anything you need/want? 3. I could use some more cactus jelly, and maybe a picture of the whole extended family, if possible. It turns out that I was being moved, and it just happened yesterday. I have a new senior companion. There was one good thing about moving, however. I finally got away from a companion that was difficult to work with. Other than that, nothing noteworthy happened this week. I love you all so much, and wish I could do more for you.

PS I will have to send home my video camera. The mission pres. just banned them. Something about someone posting video of us on Youtube.
PSS Happy Birthday Bekkah!

Dear Mom,
I am sorry that I am doing this a day earlier than usual, but the the Library is closed tomorrow for Pioneer Day, so I will not be able to do this tomorrow. Anyway, I have a favor to ask of you. I need a family history story that teaches a principle of the Gospel. I have looked far and wide, but I have not found anything so far. Oh, and it is due at the end of next week. So if you could just scan something and email it to me, that would be great. By the way, it turns out I am moving, AGAIN! Just when I am really starting to get used to everything, I get moved. Typical.Anyway, other than that I am doing pretty well. Hate to cut this short, but there's so much time and so little to do. Wait, strike that, reverse it.
