Dear Elder,
Hi! We got your letter yesterday and it was great to get it. I will try to send you some shirts today. Also, I will try to get people to email you their addresses, so be looking for that.
Here's a quick report of our Thursday. During the day, I stayed home and tried to get stuff done. Dad came home early, which was nice. He has a temporary crown in. I guess they won't cement it till the 17th.
When the kids got home, Dad took a nap and we made dinner for the neighbors, etc. Dinner was lasagna, french bread, salad, and ranch. Grandma wanted to help, so she grated the carrots. I held the grater for her and when she was done, we had not much more than a tablespoon of carrot, but she was glad to be helping. We got the dinners delivered and our own eaten just in time to get to Thomas's band concert which was at the high school. We sat through the beginning orchestra playing 4 songs and then went to find Thomas. We found out that his performance had been in the lunch room and that we'd missed it. Frustrating!!!
We left Thomas because he wanted to sight read a song in the advanced band's performance later on, and went to hear Katrina sing. She did such a good job! Some of the songs they sang were "Aura Lee," "Sixties Du Wop," and "Joy in the Morning." After that, we let Miriam drive around awhile (she is still trying to get her night hours so that she can get her license) and then we picked up Thomas from the high school when he called. Turns out he ended up doing a Jazz solo on the trumpet and WE MISSED IT!!!! That's the second special part we've missed this week and those are probably the only 2 that the kids performed this year! Arrrgggghhh!!
Sorry. Anyway, we tried the new sugarless mango slurpees at Seven Eleven and put gas in my car. We listened to Jon Bytheway again as we drove. Fun stuff.
I tried to Skype Jon this morning, but no dice. I hope he's doing good. He should be in the dorms now, but we haven't heard :( I haven't heard from Cass, Em, and Lily, either. So sad :(
Well, hang in there, Matt. I know that you are doing the right thing being in the MTC and I know Heavenly Father is very pleased with what you are doing. So are we!
Love,
Mom
