Hey dad,

sound like between you and mom, things are going more than great :) you golfing and mom is now famous and travelling...

The work is going a bit better now, it is just hard to find people... they just don't care, and it is hard to keep going day after day like that, but that's what we're here to do!

this past weekend, we had a party for the end of the school year and had all the youth come to it, is was a good turnout and we had a great time. there was ping pong and we watched Mulan and grilled hamburgers and such like that, it was way fun :)

another time we tried to make rootbeer... that was a little harder, you have to use the c02 canisters with a little cartridge and use the rootbeer extract and such... it is quite the process... They don'T have rot beer here, which is a total bummer, but somehow they survive...

did bill murray play this year in champions challenge? i hear les miserables is in the works for southern utah... you two, i think all you do is party and all i do is work! :)

so this week, we got let in and talked to a guy while tracting, and he...
- is old an wore funny glasses, with white hair
- remember in those movies where you walk into an old house and there are stacks of papers everywhere and paintings covering the walls, a skull on the desk and clutter everywhere, musty, dark, dingy, and such? some fake dead trees... this guys apartment was just like that!!!
- turns out he is a painter, sculpter, and a writer
- turns out he is a NUDE painter...
- tunrs out half the pictures on his walls were... well... you know....

he was an interesting guy, kind of going senile, sometimes there, sometimes not... it was a weird little chat... we were thankful to get out of there...

we are hoping to use the ward a lot this week in our programs, becasue school is out and we can use them more... turns out one of the youth is going to philadelphia on wednesday to live with some relatives and stdy more english... their family already knows english well, themom teaches english and the dad speaks it well, the oldest son speaks it well, with hardly an accent... it is awesome :)

well, not much to report today, i love ya tons though!!!
