Hi Mom!
Yes I got your package and I was surprised to see no pants or scripture case in it! You had a fair amount of extra space from the flat rate box so I wasn't sure why you didn't include them. But no worries - I am not in a rush. You just have to pay extra shipping! But thank you for that.
You scared me with the photo of the Del Taco. I read the email too quickly and thought you said that they were going to take out the Del Taco and build something in its place. I would have flipped. It appears that they renovated the outside of that Del Taco because it doesn't have the same appearance that it did when I was home. Anyway, Rita's is good. I am hoping they'll put in a fried chicken place somewhere that isn't called KFC.
Nice Colby! He got his first job. Better than I did at 16. Hopefully he gets a lot of hours. Most of my friends that worked at movie theaters didn't stay long for one reason or another but I think for Mitchell it was because he didn't work enough hours. He liked eating popcorn all day long when he did work, though.
Good for Rorie too! That's a first in the family - it always seemed to me that student body leadership runs in families... Yep I echo what you say. Be nice to everyone and don't be fake about it! Don't worry too much about impressing others. Treat everyone the same and be their friend!
Send me a photo of the numbers and bulletin board when you finish - I would like to see how well you do! From what I have seen you've decorated a lot more since I've left. .....what about the yard though? It better look good! haha.
Yes Sunday is Mother's Day and I will be calling you - don't worry. I am not sure yet if I will use Skype. Some people offered to have us over and to use their computers so I can if I want to. I think I prefer calling though! We'll see. I'll send a text on Saturday or Sunday letting you know before I make the call.
I don't have photos today cause I sent all of them on whatever day that was. I"ll think about taking more of me. : )
Elder Thompson still has one more transfer.
Well, I think I will get transferred this next week. I don't really have much of an idea, but if I did get transferred I would have 3 transfers in my last area. That seems more reasonable. I like my companion alot though and I would be more than happy to stay. This transfer went by so fast!
I am good on ties. I have a bunch of slim fit ones that I bought out here. I have too many ties. So I'll wait till I get home. They do look nice! I need to get slimmer fitting suit pants when I get home, haha. I slimmed them by hand but I can only make them look so good. : /
I am excited to come do some landscape work! I'll take out that telephone pole by hand!
I think that's about it!
i love you!

Hey Dad,
Man, those are some good quotes! I love Parley P Pratt. He got a little bit "out there" sometimes, but so did a lot of the saints around his time. I glanced at one of his books called "Key to the Science of Theology". It was pretty neat. Anyway, thank you for sending those. I like the second quote because I feel that it applies very well to my situation... I guess it applies to all the saints. But, I ought to trust more in the Holy Spirit and It's gifts to become perfected in Christ.
I think I will be transferred this coming week. Reason is because I spent 3 transfers in my Maplewood and it just seems more reasonable to do the same in my final areas. I am certain that Elder Marchant knows how to run this area. He may not be able to get around all that well just yet, but he knows how to work hard. It's about time for him to pick up a leadership calling of some sort. He would make a good trainer because he is diligent. He needs to work on his teaching skills (listening, teaching people and not lessons) but otherwise he is well set. He's awesome!
Enjoy all your trips!
Love you,
Tab
Tims quotes:
Parley P. Pratt“The gift of the Holy Ghost...quickens all the intellectual faculties, increases, enlarges, expands, and purifies all the natural passions and affections, and adapts them, by the gift of wisdom, to their lawful use. It inspires, develops, cultivates, and matures all the fine-toned sympathies, joys, tastes, kindred feelings, and affections of our nature. It inspires virtue, kindness, goodness, tenderness, gentleness, and charity. It develops beauty of person, form, and features. It tends to health, vigor, animation, and social feeling. It invigorates all the faculties of the physical and intellectual man. It strengthens and gives tone to the nerves. In short, it is, as it were, marrow to the bone, joy to the heart, light to the eyes, music to the ears, and life to the whole being.”George Q. Cannon"If any of us are imperfect, it is our duty to pray for the gift that will make us perfect. . . . No man ought to say, “Oh, I cannot help this; it is my nature.” He is not justified in it, for the reason that God has promised to give strength to correct these things, and to give gifts that will eradicate them. If a man lack wisdom, it is his duty to ask God for wisdom. The same with everything else. That is the design of God concerning His Church. He wants His Saints to be perfected in the truth. For this purpose He gives these gifts, and bestows them upon those who seek after them, in order that they may be a perfect people upon the face of the earth."
