hey mom!  yes i do wipe...sometimes ;)

things are moving along.  it is my 17 month mark today.  it has gone by fast. 

the work moves on.  we have a baptism this saturday and another friday.  i guess that's backwards but oh well.  the leadership here is awesome and they love us. 

i don't know when my release date is.  i don't know if i'm going to extend or not.  the more time goes by the more i feel ready to come home.  i love my mission and the work and such but 17 months has exhausted me in many ways.  it will be bittersweet.  this is the greatest work but i can't wait to take one night and just sit back and relax and do nothing but listen to music or hang out with friends.  i never knew a mission would be this hard.  i thought i was tired in high school but i've never been so tired.

it's 60 plus degrees today.  warming up and i'm needing it.  it's been a cold snowy winter this year.  over 550 inches in the mountains. 

hope your back gets better.  go to the chiropractor or just go get surgery.

keep pablo mean

love
