In the home stretch

mom and dad-

so this has been quite the week. i don't know where to start, maybe the beginning of the week. I think i told you about Ruth who was committed to be baptized at the end of this month. well sunday she called up the family who was fellowshipping and told them she doesn't want to meet with us anymore. she returned all of her stuff and said no thank you. i about cried, when bro, campbell called and told me i was in shock. it sucked big time. but i guess i have to move on. this week i have also got a lot of answers to what i should do when i get home and how to handle it all. i'm not going to come home early, so yes mom my release date is September 24, 2010. i have known that for about a year, i just never told you.lol. so that is a friday and we usually get home that friday night. but don't get too excited. haha. then yesterday we had a zone conference that was really fun, i always enjoy them. one of my favorite things to do is zone conference. and now we are to today, p-day, always a good day. so yeah, it's been crazy but things are still good. sounds like everyone back home has their hands full between dogs and track. that is funny that boomer is pissed about the sock, you would think he is a human or something the way he prances around. dweeb. i'll rough him up when i get home. it is weird to think that i'll be home before the summer ends. it seems like just yesterday that we were driving down to utah in the Jetta. It's crazy how time flies. That does stink that i'll miss uncle blair and his family again. i'm sure they will come around soon enough with the gospel. you just never know. the Lord really does work in mysterious ways. How are darbi and zoe doing? i haven't heard from my two favorite sisters in while. I bet zoe is keeping your hands full. it's weird to me to think that she is going to be 12 this year, i still think of her as a little girl. crazy. and darbi is almost 16 HOLY SMOKES!!! I remember being 16. now i feel old. man this sucks...lol. but i won't try and imagine how old it makes you two feel...see i'm across the continent so i can take stabs at your age. haha. well i better go for the week, know that i'm happy and doing well. i truly love it out here with all my heart, i love the gospel it's true. have a great week. your son,
