May 7--Dear Elder Letter Installment

Dear Elder,

Hi!  Thanks for the letter.  I hope you got a chance to do more than scan my last letter, ha ha.  That's too bad about the people you couldn't baptize because one didn't go to church and the other didn't pay his tithing.  It's good to be sure they are committed to the gospel before baptizing anyone, that's for sure.

Today is Tuesday and I've been home from teaching for about 3 hours just getting things done.  Thomas is on the computer listening to "That Thing You Do" songs.  He'd better get busy with his trumpet, laundry, and English or he's not going to be able to walk down to main street with his friends to buy Hawaiian shaved ice.  I just told him that and he ran upstairs.  Now it's just me and the music.  I'm rocking out like Guy Patterson's mom on the movie, ha ha.  Katrina is upstairs chillin'; I have to get her to work.  Miriam will be home soon.  We are going to pick Dad up at the laundry and then go to visit with a college counselor so that Miriam can know what classes to take summer term.

Yesterday we had Preston's family over for dinner.  Dad had a great time swapping military stories with Chris, Preston's step dad, Miriam and I enjoyed visiting with Rebecca, Preston's mom, and Katrina and Thomas had fun keeping their three youngest kids entertained.  Their older girls weren't able to come.  Rebecca texted Miriam a couple of times on their way home last night saying how much they enjoyed the visit especially Chris who loved talking to Dad.  Everyone loves talking to your Dad, including me.  He is such an interesting guy!

Dad said that Cassandra called.  They still have no idea if Emerson will get the job closer to us, but they want us to check out houses for them just in case.  Dad told her we would.  Maybe we will do that tomorrow.  Wow, it's getting more and more exciting.  Emerson posted some videos of Lily on Facebook.  One was of her miniature golfing.  So cute!
