Whats happenin?!?! lol.. I knew that the books would not be cheap.. I will talk to some people and see if i can get you some better deals.. I dunno though.. This birthday is already eaten up and for a wedding present i want a California king bed! after this mission dang it i am going to sleep comfortable the rest of my life! lol.. so apparently i got some competition huh? lol.. hrrrrrrp.. I'm not too worried about it... So my new comp is freaking cool. His name is Elder Brady and he is from Pleasant Grove... he is a football player.. In fact he has a scholarship to snow college for when he gets back to play corner.. But he is cool. He turned 19 yesterday.. So he has been on his mission, Including the MTC, for a month before he turned 19.. But he is a hard worker and very teachable.. This transfer will be nice.. lol mom you are so funny.. You would have my room all ready to go lol.. I think that's awesome.. Its crazy to think that its not that far away... but hrrrp. I try not to think about it too much.. So we went to teach the Bassetts and we had dinner with them and Laura left after dinner to go to some relief society activity (sweet!) and so we talked to Bruce for a while and we were talking about the previous Sunday and the talks in sacrament meeting and there was a guy that spoke and told his conversion story and it took him 10 years of investigation to become converted to the gospel and so he was commenting on that guys talk and he said see I'm one up on that guy it took him ten years and it hasn't taken me near that long.. I said whoa whoa whoa are you telling me that you are converted? and he said well ya I'm pretty much ready to get baptized.. !!! i was like what the heck.. and then he said how he wants Laura to be able to truly believe these things and what not and it was awesome.. All along i thought that Laura was farther ahead than Bruce and that could still be the case but sooner or later they are going to be on-date :D pretty exciting for them! So keep them in your prayers still! They are such a wonderful family! In fact i told Bruce that he should come down to Utah with his fam in early June before he has to start hay season.. and he said ya i wouldn't miss that wedding for nothing! lol... I said well that's a little quick... and he said no way better sooner than later! lol So i thought that was funny. But they are so awesome! But things are really great for me.. So again mom just hold off on the books for now.. We will figure something out.. Plus Shannon will come around to wanting the books :D She doesn't know what she is missing! But no worries ill talk to her about it :D lol.. Well i love you guys! Thanks for everything! i am definitely set for now.. don't need anything and i definitely don't need more crap to bring home :D I love ya! take care of yourselves!
