Hi Ho Hi Ho... It's off to work I go

Hi MOm and family
THis week has gone by really fast. Im not in an emailing mood for some reason today but ill write you guys cuz i love ya'll. So pretty much the amackers baptism is post-poned for another week. Tiffany started smoking again so that is not good. But i got a lot of faith in her and i have prayed day in and day out, night and day for her and her family. I know they will come around. But we have a golden investigator now. She is so awesome. Amber Jarnigan is her name. We are setting a date with her today. She has a blind son who is seven. HE is hilarious. The only reason she comes to church is cuz scott(her blind son) loves primary. So that is really good. This week has been crazy. Friday morning i got a call at 5:00 am. IT was elder Whiting. He was in agonizing pain. We went over to his house and he called the mission doctor to see what he should do. The doctor told us to take him to the ER. He had apendisitus. We spent all-day friday in the ER. He spent a couple of nights in the hospital and now he is in the mission home recovering. He is doing so good and he will be back to work in 1 week. I have been sick this week. Its so lame. but everything is going amazing.
Im so so so so jealous that you are going to lake powell. ha ha I got to catch a few glimps's of the olympics. We were teaching this 475 lb guy tommy. He is HUGE. but he would not turn off the olympics for anything so i watch guys volleyball and Kerry walsh and Misty May-Treanor play. THey are ridiculously good. Thats cool Taylor is home. Im not one bit jealous. Me and him talked a little but through email and he sent me a bunch of ties like 2 months ago. Can you believe i have been out for almost 3 months. Time is zipping by. Thats so sweet that you and all the moms hang out. Thats gotta be a lot of fun. and you and jodi are gonna kill at bowling. that will be so fun. I think i get to go to the temple next month so im really really excited for that. I miss going. I think i took the temple for granted a little bit. but i will cherish every moment that im there. I love getting packages. i have SO much candy stocked up. im pretty sure it will last another month. but i have gotten all the packages so far. did you want me to send the player and the tape home or just the tape? I love hearing you guys talk. It was a lot of fun hearing everyone. But i love you so so so so so much and i appreciate everything you do for me! Love your missionary
