"Hey Mom how are you today. Yeah that Pig was pretty cool to me and I had to take a picture with it. The conversion story of those members is actually pretty crazy. Both the Husband and the Wife grew up in the FLDS organization and they typically wore Pioneer clothes. They were taught for most of their life that plural and arranged marriage was ok and that if they left the church they would be struck by lightning and killed. One day the president of that group died and within a few years the new president in charge seemed more strict on rules and said that their kids had to be married at the age of 13. The oldest daughter was close to that age and they got worried for the future. One day they left the area to find themselves at the LDS Church and attended a meeting to see how it was and while they felt weird about it, the members welcomed them. They then went back to the FLDS and the people got angry at them and wanted them gone. The LDS Church ward they went to, made an escape plan for the family by getting a Semi Truck with a trailer and putting them inside to move them far away. They only had their pioneer clothes. The ward got together and got them a place to live and clothes. One member had his wife pass away a couple years earlier and the mother tried them on and all of them fit. Of course becoming members of the church was a long process and they even had to talk to Elder Wirthlin from the 12 to become members. Luckily the husband didn't have multiple wives and they all became members of the church in August 1999. The Mussers are a pretty cool family and this would be a pretty sweet movie! Kind of like The Saratov Approach. Speaking of the Saratov Approach I had a dream about going to Russia last night but I don't know if it was a mission or after it trying to find an investigator. I guess I'll study Russian and maybe even German after I get home from my mission. I definitely want to go to the Russian Temple once it opens whenever that is.
Pretty cool that you are going to Florida to meet with Grandma and Grandpa in Florida. I will have to see them after my mission. I didn't hear about Jack quitting Soccer, it's good that he wants to work but he should do what he likes. Stinks though that he hit his head, hopefully he feels better.
We had a crazy night on Thursday night. We just got back from dinner and a service project with the Mussers. We went to bed on time at 10:30, and within a couple Minutes Elder Twitchell heard and felt something in his bed. It got to the point where something got on his shoulder and he jumped out of bed and we tore up the room. We found out that there was a mouse in the bedroom! It kept vanishing every time! We got tired, after looking for an hour and a half and decided to bait it by locking the door and putting a sticky trap with chocolate out. We then went in the car to go to sleep and within an hour it was too hot and we decided to see if the mouse was caught. It was! We threw it out and went to bed at around 1:30am. It was pretty bad and we've been looking where they're coming from and setting up as many traps as we can. Luckily we got to talk to the landlord and an exterminator is coming in tomorrow, hopefully to solve this problem.
As far as your package deal it is located in 2657 SE 40th St Paris, TX 75462. Since you are asking about requests I will say I don't need much in my package but I will ask if you have used my Lego VIP Card yet. I have $40 on that card and I want to make sure that it's gone by the end of the year or you can send it to me ;-). Also I want to ask if you can check my account from Arizona Federal to make sure if everything is going ok. I used it a couple times at Walmart for some things in the mission and a member family told us that recently the Walmart and Targets have had problems with information being stolen when checking out. Also one of the last things I want to know if there is any information about that Club Penguin Rock N Roll Penguin Plush because it is something that I want to find some day in the future whether that be during the time I am serving my mission or after. I don't know if it will be on Ebay or not, but I am determined that some day I will find it and I've prayed about getting that answer everyday. Other than that I don't have any requests at the moment but I'll be fine for now. Anyways I hope you all have a great week and I'll talk to you later. "
