Hey,

Things are great. Mother Nature here is really happy. It's been in the 80's all week. But the week before someone sinned because it was 5 days of dumpage. It rained like it does in the Uintas for 5 straight days. Other than that it's really warm here. We only have to wear our jackets on Sundays, but if it's over 80 we don't have to wear them.

Yeah, they were sitting in the foyer between church two sunday's ago and asked us where were from and stuff. They said they were heading back to utah and said they'd take anything I needed back. So I gave it to them. She was talking about the Elder before me. Elder Mecham is like 6'5". I'm still with Elder Perkins but transfers are next week. So we could be changing. I don't think we'll be changing because next transfer is his last transfer. And this is my first transfer. But you never know. President Murri is kind of a goof noggin.. (In a good way) Oh man he's funny though. He lives in Logan so you could go see him after he gets released. That would be kinda cool. I apparently keep getting AP points. Which is scary because I don't want to be AP.

I was thinking about how weird its going to be for you to have someone to go to dinner with and things. It's weird that Jetta's going to be 3 when I get home. Hopefully they have another one year old for me to play with. Go ahead and tell them that. Yeah President Monson was laying the spiritual smack down. He really is the Tongue of the Lord. President Uchtdorf is the Hammer of the Lord. Elder Chistofferson is the Law of the Lord. Elder Scott is the Eye of the Lord. President Eyring is the Love of the Lord. Elder Oaks is the Judge of the Lord. My favorite talk this Conference was Elder Oaks on desires. It touched me because my Patriarchal Blessing talks alot about my desires. So I've been working on that one.

There's a family here that's inactive that God sent me here for. The Terrasas family is so awesome. Big Aaron, the dad, is a master martial artist. And by master I mean he could easily fight with guys like Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan and do all those crazy things. But he goes way into the pschological stuff of it. He knows so much about how the body works and things. He showed us how to explode someone's kidney. Anyway.. He's one of the people that is inactive because people prejudge him and things. He's not afraid to speak his mind and people condemn him for it. He was in the bishopric and people would ask him for advice and he would say ask the Lord and then come ask me, or build your faith and you will get the answer. Things like that that people actually needed to hear. No one liked it or something. But he's pretty much insane. They have a weimeraner named Sinatra. She look's pretty much exactly like Copper. He was surprised I knew the breed and how to handle a weimer and things. Natalie his wife works at US bank and things. We're still figuring our her deal.  But we're seeing lots of  progress with them :) Hopefully they'll be to church soon :)

It's crazy here. My companion is going apostate haha. I've been driving him a little hard. Plus his girlfriend just got home from here mission a month ago and she hasn't written him since. He's taking it kinda hard.

Yep yep,
Love,
Elder Mortensen
