Hello Buddy! 

It's been a busy Sunday. It was ward conference so our choir sang. oh my goodness, it was awful! Matt gave us a piece of music last week and there were parts for the altos to sing and we hadn't even really practiced it, then the very ending of the song there were typing things and parts and oh my goodness it was terrible. I don't think I have been so embarrassed........You should be grateful you didn't have to be part of that. Good thing we sang in front of the Stake President and the Presidency and all the Stake Leaders. Ha Ha. Oh well. 

This last week has been good. Lexie had her Young Women in Excellence and she lead the music. Of course it was Drum Major style. I shouldn't have expected anything less. Lexie has been really liking Winterguard with Viewmont. She made the rifle line and has been spinning her arm off. 

Since this week was Ward Conference we had a ward temple day........Well, i got there for the temple session and kept looking around and couldn't see anyone from our ward so I really thought maybe I had the wrong session but I knew I didn't. Well, i still went into the session and during it, I had turned around and saw brother Kasperian. So they were the only other ones who went. Ha, Crazy huh. There was a youth session for baptisms where about 30 people went but I couldn't believe that there were only 3 of us for our Ward Temple day. Sad. then we had a pie night for the ward and about 5 families came. Well, at least we had great pie. 

Elaina came over for a visit yesterday and she is so funny. We looked through mine and dad's pics from when we were dating and got married. Elaina said she loved looking at them. She even got me to half way try on my cheerleading outfit and take a pic. Ha Ha. She was fun to have over. She is excited for when you skype with us. You want her here right??? I told her she needs to be here so i hope that was ok. I'm sure you don't have any idea when you will skype with us but I think Zac and Megan are planning a little later like 1 or so to come over. But you let us know when we get closer so we can plan. 

When i went to the temple I went over and visited my Dad. I took a cooI pic. I'm grateful for his amazing example of a Christ Like person and someone who was always serving others. He had so much Love for everyone. 

We are working as fast as we can with Trek. They have started to call people. They haven't sustained anyone yet but some of them are contacting me and saying they are so excited. I can't wait until we have everything called and planning. 

A quote from Matt Townsen, "Pray when you feel like worrying. Give thanks when you feel like complaining. Keep going when you feel like quitting." 

Well, this Thanksgiving Lexie and I are going to have dinner with my Mom, Tawnie and her family and Chris. Then we will come home and have a smoked turkey with Dad when he gets off work. Crazy not having everyone :( But we will keep being thankful.

I love you!!!! Hope you have an amazing Thanksgiving Day! Hope all is going well with your companion. 

Love you,

Love Mom

ELDER SNELL: Hi, Mom :)

Hahaha Did you record your song with ward choir? I really want to hear
it now haha ;)

How is Lexie doing? I haven't heard from her in a little bit. That's
awesome that she made it on the rifle line for Viewmont!

Only 3 people went to the temple?!? That's crazy! I miss going to the
temple so much. I will get to go in about 2 months though! Yay!

Hahaha Elaina told me that you two are hopeless romantics hahaha

I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving! I love you!

Elder Snell :)

MOM: NO, no recording thank goodness. I won't have to relive that again.

Yep, that's true about Elaina and I. Silly huh.

I hope you have a wonderful THANKSGIVING too!!!! You'll have to tell us all about your 3 meals............ Hopefully you won't bust right open.

I text Lexie and told her you were on email. I don't know if she will get it though if she is in class. She's been trying to do so many things but I KNOW she want's to talk to you. She loves and misses you sooooooo much!

ELDER SNELL: That's too bad. You should sing it for me on a recording ;)

It will be a party :)

She said hello :) 

MOM: Hows things going with training? are you learning tons of ASL? Is that something you could take at U of U for a language to satisfy that requirement?

ELDER SNELL: It is going very well :) Elder Robison and I are really good friends now, and we are finding a lot of success.

I can understand most of what Elder Robison signs, but I can't sign as well as I can read it haha. I can say the Missionary Purpose and our Mission Vision, though :)

If it is a class that they offer, then absolutely. I would love to take ASL in college. 

MOM: Oh, I'm so glad you guys are really good friends. That makes my heart happy for you. The spirit can dwell and you will see that success if you are both happy.

Idk if it's a class. we'll have to see.

I LOVE YOU BUDDY. And I really hope you have a happy thanksgiving. ONLY 34 days till we Skype :)

ELDER SNELL: Yeah! If FaceTime is better, we could do that. I'm not sure which is better, though :) 

I love you Mom :) I haven't even started my weekly email yet, so I am going to start pounding that out hahaha :)

Love ya!
