That Intel thing is fascinating - what a complicated mess all for someones ego. (This is her response to what Michael told her about Intel and HP) Sister Short and I solve the worlds problems on a regular basis and every time we do it boils down to obedience. So if that one person had been loving his neighbor and not trying to get personal gain all your problems would be solved. So once again obedience is the answer! You want world peace? Obedience will get it. I love solving the worlds problems - I'm getting pretty good. All you have to do is do what the Lord says and you'll be fine. Piece of cake, piece of crumb cake. (Name that movie)

Thanks for looking up the stretchy shoes mom, but really I'm fine I just need to whine a little then I'm all better. Tallahassee doesn't have sidewalks every where like most of Utah does - I'm not willing to risk my life on the streets riding my bike just to save my feet a little. And the whole stealing thing is another part of it- yes bike parts will be stolen if I leave it locked up somewhere and don't bother sending stuff to the Mission office, all they do is forward it to me and it all goes in the same mailbox.

As for my week it was awesome! Crazy busy but that's the way I like it. We set a Baptismal Date with Farrah! She is most likely going to be baptized Feb 13. But there is a big Valentines dance that night and she wants to looks snazzy for that and baptisms don't make for easy and fast clean up. Long story short, her baptism might be moved to another date but she is committed to be baptized. Yippee! We had so many lessons this week it makes my head spin to think about it. Teaching is what makes missionary work fun. The people make all the hard stuff worth it.

We were walking home from the Ronald McDonald House last Friday and one of our investigators saw us, flagged us down and gave us a ride home. It was really nice since it was super cold outside. We've been able to do a lot of less active work which involves lots of mapping, planning and praying but we've had several less actives coming to church lately, some of whom want to go over the lessons again and some of whom have friends with questions which I love.

We had two investigators at church on Sunday I think they liked it but they had to go right after it was over so we really didn't get to talk afterward. Ho Hum.

Today we are going to go play football with the Elders and some investigators which will be all kinds of good. Then Sister Short and I are going to watch "Mountain of the Lord" and eat ice cream. We've been craving a good chick flick and that's about as close as we can get.

Yeah that's about it. We didn't do much tracting so no interesting stories - oh wait - not true! We met this kid who's an atheist but he really wanted to talk. He was really nice and I asked him how he survived in the Bible belt - he was almost in tears as he talked about how hard it is. It made me sad, I told him to look for us on campus, we'd be his friends.

Well have a great week! I love you all!
