Have You Ever Seen the Sunset in the Fall on the Mississippi?

Ok so that was that and it's just freaking nuts out here...

Well this week was good and all that I mentioned in the letter is basically what happened mission wise.

 

Probably the highlight for the week was on Friday we went to the Nauvoo temple and was able to do a session and I actually did some sealings for the first time which was cool I suppose. So it's a pretty long drive to Nauvoo like probably .........3 hours almost just because there's no good route to drive and its all just dust fields all the way there cuz all the corn is cut down and the soy beans don't grow tall anyways.

 

So the Nauvoo Temple... It's basically the bomb.com we were there for the 6 o'clock session and then after we had to clean and that was soooo cool. So I was assigned to vacuum the spiral staircase which is like gino and I about cried when I saw the size of it from way down in the basement ya my jaw dropped. So people I don't know about you but if you have ever vacuumed stairs it is tough but if you have ever vacuumed spiral staircases the vacuum is really awakward for the purpose and isn't quite shaped right for the job and when there are 7 floors it takes forever. When we were all done cleaning it was like 10 and and janitors took us on a sick tour of the temple and showed us everything. The assembly hall is so cool and the rumor is that we may have a mission conference in it and then we got to go up to the tower which is so high and we could see the whole city and I got to touch the bell ha ya champion. ... ya we didn't get to our apartment till like 1;30 and up in 5 hours which felt like we got hit with a pile of bricks.

 

so regarding your questions ummmmm ya thank you so much for the package and for that box it is so cool and I love the pictures that you put on it. The basketball hoop is so much fun except you didnt put the ball with it so no ball ya sillly!!!!  um ya I will be getting a bike this week I think and so I don't think that i will need one. Oh my %$$#@ why are the utes losing?????!!! yes yes yes the gps is a must out here and you just need to look on google maps at bloomington to get what i am saying. I'm running out of time so lets see.... I hope all is going well at home cuz its all good in the neighborhood out here and we are just going to work hard and pray for some miracles. 

 

the workouts are awesome and im going to get jacked so that's pretty good 

 

I love you all and I pray for all of you and I do need some prayers out here cuz times get tough
