Ok so I have about 10 minutes but I'll try to make as many things in as possible.
How are you doing? I'm sure things are busy at home.
I haven't gotten a package yet with the scripture case and all that stuff - somethings up with the mail. If you're sending it through the MTC, don't. They are slow and tend to lose stuff and forget about it from what I've heard and experienced. Reese said they ate one of his letters! I never got it :( But he's writing it again so it's good.
To answer your questions:
1. My bed sheets are just fine. In fact it's warmer here than it was in Utah. I still wear short sleeve shirts every day.
2. The grocery store we go to has most of the things we need as far as food but once a month or so we go to walmart or something to get other stuff. So we're fine. If you want to send me chocolate or whatever occasionally I obviously won't turn that down.
3. I don't think I need a night light because we do studies in the morning and if I ever get extra time it's usually during the day. I haven't found the need for a night light, but thanks for thinking of me!
4. I haven't gotten that yet
5. I don't think so... We have everything we need and in fact it's nice to have just one of everything because my roommates are responsible enough to clean it every time they use it. So we only need one pot, pan, etc.
6. I don't think anyone needs anything! We're good here for now.
Yeah we had a baptism yesterday! It was really great and it has a pretty neat story behind it. Larry is homeless and so it was often difficult to plan things with him but he was extremely reliable and would always come early to appointments. And it would take him an hour's bus ride to make it to our area. So it was all on him really. I had a hard time getting him under the water because as you can see his is pretty tall and we had to use another church's small font because everything went wrong at our church. It was crazy. I'll tell you about it later.
We don't have a laptop but I don't see when I would ever need it except to check out lds.org or something. We have movie players that we can watch Church DVDs at dinner or whenever so that's nice.
Oh yeah you should get Reese that sweatshirt. The size you got me would work or the next size down. I appreciate you getting one for Clark. I know it meant a lot to him. He really wanted to get one. Thank you for doing that! I got an email sent to both Reese and Clark today so that was nice.
Yesterday we went through West Orange and South Orange and I got to get a little taste of what New Jersey country looks like in the fall. It is extremely pretty. You'd love it! And just five miles east is the ghetto. But I found out that the place we went through is in our area so maybe we'll get to spend more time there. We just don't have any members or investigators that live out there, ironically. The poor areas are where the humble-hearted people are.
I sent pictures in my letter home on Saturday! Hope you like them. I had tons of videos from our Stake's cultural night which was a blast. We have tons of Haitians and Jamaicans in our area and they make crazy foods that are really good.
Well I'm off now, but you'll be hearing more from me soon! I'm doing great by the way. I love you!

Tab loves Reese and Clark........so much so that he mentions them in almost every letter!
