August 13, 2011

Dear Mom,
I am doing very well. Last night I went to this concert in the Brigham Young Historic Park, starring this group called the Saltaires. It was a barbershop chorus, and it was pretty dang awesome!So yeah, this is the second-to-last concert I will be going to. Yes, I just got your package last night. By the way, how are those shirts coming along? I don't mean to nag, mind you, but...yeah, it's been about a month since I sent those designs. It was one of the pictures (which, seriously, do you think you could send copies of those?). Now, wait a moment, Ms. OBrian...wasn't she the one I had for that course? (GGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRR! I am calm, I am peacful, I am in my happy place).Sorry about all that, it's still a little bit of an open wound (as I'm sure you can imagine). Anyway, tell McKenzie to tell Brother Farley I said hi. My new apartment is pretty cool. Although, it's sad, I was in that old apartment for so long, by habit my feet take me back there from work. It took me a month or two to get comfortable out in the field. Anyway, I have been trying to further the lines on that PAF file Dad sent me out with. Oh, here's a HILARIOUS story that happened out here. You see, there is this elder out here by the name of Elder Dooley, who is almost religious about writing in his journal. Now there is also this other elder out here named Elder Miller, who uses the word "foodage" on a regular basis. One night, Elder Dooley came out of his room, pointed at Elder Miller, and said, "You. You did this." Elder Miller, at the time, was thinking, "I haven't done anything. I'm planning on doing a lot of stuff, sure, but I haven't done anything yet." And then, Elder Dooley continued, "I wrote foodage in my journal because of you."Pretty hilarious, huh?
Well, I should get going. Lots to do.
Love,
Elder Huston, Sr

Dear Mom,
I am doing well. Elder Walker is pretty cool, and incredibly nice. And for the record, once an elder becomes an AP, he is one for the rest of his mission. Oh, by the way (tee-hee, you'll know why I laughed in a minute) I'm sending the picture of me with John Bytheway. No, I have not been to the temple lately (I have been doing a TON of research). Although, I plan on going next week.
Well, I hate to talk and run, but there's still a lot that needs to be done today.
Love,
Elder Huston

Dear Mom,
I am doing well. The move was EXHAUSTING!It's funny, you never realize how much stuff you have until you need to pack it all up. Oh no, I did not have to move far at all. You know that apartment complex you dropped me off at? I'm back there. The elders in my new apartment are: Elder Walker (my companion), Elder Rose, and Elder Scotto. As for the ancestry stuff, why don't you mail it to me? Everyone in my apartment works in the Family History Library (everyone in there works a 12-hour shift with 2 hour-long lunch breaks), and so I'm going to have a lot of free time on my hands. Anyway, no, I did not get my meds from express scripts yet. Thankfully, no, I am not running low on any. I got that letter from you, though. Keep in mind, out here the moves are made under the direction of the Spirit, so there is always a reason as to why who was moved where.
Well, I should get going. There's still a lot to do today.
Love,
Elder Huston

Dear Mom,
I'm sorry for not being able to get to you on Saturday. I had a migraine all day. Anyway, I am doing well. I found out I was moving last week, and on top of that, I'm going back to being a junior companion. Fortunately, the elder who will be my companion is extremely nice. At any rate, sorry to hear about Jack.
Well, I need to get going. The time I have left to do these emails is almost up.
Love,
Elder Huston
