Elder William Boy's Missionary Blog: What going on here in Orem

William,

So how is Virginia? Are you still with Elder Davis and Elder Goats? I chose to hold off on the "snailmail" when you said that you may get a transfer this week. So what happened with all that?

Mary Ann has been watching the weather for Virginia and I think she mentioned snow and cold temperatures. We have had 4 inches of snow and 50 degree weather in the same week. How's that for Utah. She has also been playing around with making "creme' Brule" and "flan", Custards made from scratch, and are they delicious. Her quilt top is done and now she just has to make back. It is for Trish.

Benson got a new computer at the BYU surplus sale, a 2.4 GHz duo-core system for $50. He and I have been playing Ghost Recon on it now instead of using the laptop. During one of the warmer days Benson was nice enough to take the christmas lights down for Mary Ann. Really, it's only March, what's the hurry. Benson went down to the cannery. He told his seminary teacher that he worked a shift in the cannery and his teacher told him that he would get 2000 "spiritual" browny points. but no extra credit for seminary.

Anneke came over for dinner last week, it was fun to see her again. She mentioned that you sent a photo memory card to them last week, but I am stilling hoping to see some of them. Anneke said that she would try to get me some this week, so I gave her my jumpdrive. Now I have been without my jumpdrive for a few days and still have no pictures.

The water softener has really been great on our skin, Mary Ann has stopped scratching and the dry skin on my legs has been healing. Talking about water, Mary Ann has been pushing me to cleanup the Fish tank, so Saturday we did a water change, and rearranged some of the rock. It is starting to look nice again.

Benson is teaching Indy to jump. The best we have gotten out of him so far is to stand up quickly. So he is still a work in progress.

Matt only has 108 days left in the Paris France Mission. Tami and Shawn have sold their house and are moving soon. Steve passed his LSAT for Law school with a 186. He needed a 187 to go to Harvard Law School.I asked Sue if Steve wanted to go to Harvard and she said no, but it's cool to say it.

I have been attaching the pictures of the headstones from Parowan to each genealogy record for Mary Ann family tree. We have a family reunion in July. I have joined the Wendelboe reunion group on Facebook and have more family pictures then I can shake a stick at.

Well that is about all for this week, I need to plan my week out better so that I can start adding a spiritual message again. I hope that you are having a great week and that you are continuing to have some success with your investigators. I am including a couple of pictures from the board at church and some of us hear at home.

Keep up the "Good" work, and know that our prayers are with you.
- Dad, Mary Ann, and Benson
