July 29th Letter

Hey family!Life is good, just doing the good work. We're going fishing today for pday so that's gonna be lots of fun. A nice little change of pace and relax with other missionaries and stuff. We had interviews yesterday and they were awesome. One thing that i liked a lot more was they were very personal. Pres Priday would ask if you were obedient and all, worthy and stuff, but wouldn't really initiate any other personal talk during the interview. But Archibald just dove right in to asking questions and teaching stuff, it was almost a little overbearing because i spent 30 minutes in there with him talking about planning effectively and effective member visits.. And sister Archibald is a sweetheart. She spent 30 mines at least asking about me and my family and my interests and stuff, and she's doing something really cool, where she's having every missionary mark their favorite scripture in her scriptures and writing our name. I gave her Alma 43:23, the one about the certain men. She loved it.
Also during interviews, Harvey will appreciate this, I ran to the library because we were watching testaments and i was quoting the whole thing from memory, and i grabbed the old videos and found PIONEERS IN PETTICOATS. For real the best Mormon movie ever. It was a gold mine of old Mormon movies. We started with Uncle Ben, then watched the gift, and then the mailbox, pioneers in petticoats, and then Johnny lingo. ALL ON ONE TAPE! Amazing. I reminisced quoting the pioneers movie with Harvey. Good times. After we're done with emails I'm going to go get a screamer, its a slurpee with soft serve ice cream. SO good.
I totally had a dream last night that i was saved by transformers. Everyone keeps telling us about the movie and it has me transformer crazy. I want our car to turn into one! that'd be so cool. We've started up another sports night here and its fun. Mostly just basketball though. I haven't played volleyball in forever and i miss it. Thanks for the family reunion pictures. I can't wait until next years!!! It's gonna be awesome. love you all!
