Whoa... are you serious?

I received the Valentine’s Day package, it was a bit different shape than I have come to expect, but just as much if not more fun. There are currently paper hearts all over our apartment. I really like the tie and the smelly stuff that I sprayed all over Elder M (to see if it was safe to use or if he would die) doesn't smell all that bad either. The CDs were also greatly appreciated, especially Jesus the Christ. It’s a really good book. All the kitchen supplies and towels were greatly needed. It seems like almost every missionary apartment is without. The food is good too, don't get me wrong, I am grateful for all the love, but that doesn't stop me from being just a little like Laman and Lemuel and complaining about my blessings. "But Dad!! We don't want to go to the land flowing with milk and honey. Just think about how fat we'll get" For thus saith the Lord "Exercise [a little self-control]."  Thanks so much for all the love and letters and packages. They mean a lot.

Also, the kitchen remodel looks good. You guys somehow managed not to mess things up too badly without me around. ;) But remember that corner where you didn't know what to put there? Where is the microwave going? ;) Food for thought. 

And thanks once again for the weather reports and spiritual thoughts. :D

Lemon Heads: This is why we don’t need this much candy! Yeah, I brush pretty regular (once or twice a week). ;P The retainer is a bit more hit and miss though... 

My Belly is Jelly: Again, why we don't need this much candy: We rated all to the Jelly Belly’s 1.0 - 5.0 My rating is written in blue and Elder M’s is in green. Buttered Popcorn is one of the most amazingly accurate flavors in the box! Do you have any idea how hard it must have been to get candy to taste like popcorn?? Anyone can make candy taste like bubble gum. We can even make toothpaste that tastes like bubble gum! Ask Dad. He'll agree with me. ;)

 

We went to the only Chinese food restaurant within driving distance the other day. Afterward I asked Elder M to describe the experience with a facial expression. This was the resulting review:

 

Well... I wouldn't recommend returning there. ;)

 

That's pretty much all that I have time for today. I'll try and remember to take some more pictures this week.  And don't think because all the pictures are of us in our apartment eating lunch and being goofy that that is all we do, it’s just that we never take pictures of ourselves working because we are busy being serious. 

I leave you with these videos to check out from Mormon.org... because they're awesome.
