Email and Letters in the same week....



Wow, another week has come and gone. Mostly gone now. Yesterday was Halloween and we got trick-or-treated by Doug with an email

thanks for the pictures! how is mom doin? did you hear from uncle Lynn yet about the MRI? Haha i guess it's her turn, we've had ours, me and you... :)
so i got a hint in the last dearelder letter from you that you were looking at places in St. George? hmm... my only input is that: i get to come crash down there some weekends :) are you thinking of moving down there? that'd be way cool, but you have to tell me before you buy something... to make sure it has a theater and such ;)
so i wrote you a letter on sunday and mailed it on monday, it had some pictures in it and such. Things are still going well, we had Elder Bednar come talk to us last night at the Tuesday Night devotional, it was awesome. we've also heard from Sheri Dew and Cheryl C. Lant (Primary general president. she was there last night too, just to listen).
Time is going by pretty quick, our usi Huns get their flight plans this friday. So in like 2 weeks they leave for Hungary, and two days after they leave, we get our Kicsi Huns :) it will be way cool!
so, what's goin on in the outside world? any big news i need to hear about? I hear that Geri and seth are leaving around thanksgiving, is that right? that'll be weird not having them around i bet. and i won't be around either, you're runnin out of kids to play with!
Grant figured out how to use dearelder.com and he wrote me today, so that was a nice little surprise :)
I think steve rowe comes into the MTC today and i'll keep an eye out for him, but it's our p-day so we are stuck doin laundry and such most of the time. In case mom was wondering, i did get to see brice before he left for just a little bit, he seemed to be doin well and ready to go.
well, i had best be off, do you and mom have any trips coming up? i heard about st george and that sounded like a blast! got anything lined up with uncle kent and aunt barbara or soemone? Oh and i was wondering, are you coming to pick me up from Hungary?
-love, elder gaufin

and a letter. Can it get any better than that? We deciphered the letter a bit faster this time. Can't tell if it was better paper or we are just getting better at reading "Doug-arian".




Either way it seemed to be easier. Hope it is for you as well. Sounds like he is settled in and now getting antsy to get out and do some work. Oh well, that is what it is all about, isn't it. Figured out this morning that the local UPS Store will deliver packages to the MTC on the same day for 2 bucks for 10 pounds. I like that. Post Office was a bit more, quite a bit. DearElder.com continues to be a good friend also.
