Hey Fam,

It sounds like you are all doing really well! Every week that I sit down it seems like somebody is out of town on some sort of trip or vacation, its really the traveling family. Where does work fit in to everything? =) But I´m really happy that everything is going really well for everyone. It sounds like lots of play.

Things are going well here. Things are slowly but surely starting to heat up. There are a couple of days where its warm during the day but then the next day its really chilly again. At night its always cold so its great when we have people to visit at night so we are indoors. Even inside its really cold but its not as bad as being outside at night =) when we don´t have appts thats another story. Mom, the thermals that you sent me in the MTC are amazing, thanks. They save my life! But I decided that I don´t have good blood flow because my hands are really cold all the time. Its kind of hard to type right now cause my hands don´t respond as fast as they normally do when I type (cause i type amazingly fast, like 480 wpm).

But it was another good week! It started out great with such a great letter from Spencer! I read it several times through the week and responded to it throughout the week in voice recordings but I really couldn´t be happier for him. Its amazing how the Lord helps us to change our lives =) But his story gave me some good animo throughout the week, it was great. The only downside is that with all the talk about Lindy´s trip and Spencer´s, it made me want to go back there sooooo bad!!! I love Zambia so much! It is so awesome! Cutler will have a great experience next summer too and i think that mom and dad should try to go next summer too. It would be a good experience for you too. But mom, the only thing is that you´ll have to go without make-up =)

But this week was a good one again. There wasn´t anything amazing that happened but we did have some great help from above in getting people to come to church. We had 7 in the church this week which was GREAT! The only thing is that 4 of those 7 cant get baptized here.

well, I{m sorry this is so short, i{ll explain next week but we have to go right now, everythings fine. I love you all and have a great week!
