Hello :)

It was super nice to hear from you today. I'm glad that you enjoyed the package! The soda came from a super sweet store in Redmond where I'd been working the past transfer. I thought you might like the CD :) It was recorded at the chapel, actually. The Firpo's arranged for the recording, and then the Thompson family from another ward had the equipment to do it. It was really fun :) I'm super glad you liked it! I gave them BIG thanks for making that possible and I told them you'd be very happy.

Here is Elder Talbot's letter from July 30th.  I am a little behind in getting these posted.  Enjoy!

 

 

Dear Family:

 

Alright, so here's what's happening in the Washington Seattle Mission. Transfers were today and it was completely ordered insanity. On Sunday night we were informed about which missionaries were to leave the area, and on Monday we later learned about leadership calls (to be trainers, district leaders and zone leaders) that would be extended to any of our missionaries. Elder Kimber and I saw that we would both be staying here in Kirkland with no changes, save that Elder Lutes would go back to Redmond with his new companion.
