News from Citrus Heights.....

As you all know, Monday is my new favorite day... that is as long as it is Sean's p-day. I look forward to the Monday email from him - I've copied some of today's email below - please note, it seems that in typing emails, Sean has forgotten capital letters and punctuation... but that is okay with me - I'll read it anyway - and I won't send it back to him corrected. He also answers questions I ask - but it seems he just randomly answers them mid-thought... cute... yes, I know, he is my son, so I will allow this haphazard way of communicating with me! Glad I know what he is talking about.

So here it is....

i have been getting mail so i guess its all going through now [this is in response to a question I asked him about receiving mail - when we got home on Sunday, we found that a letter we had mailed him had been returned, so of course I worried that he wasn't getting mail]. we have disrict meetings every tuesday, zone meetings every transfer, 6 weeks is a transfer.

[Now a few comments about people he is teaching]

it still looks like hes planning on it we just got to get him the interview with elder rast. [he is referring to an investigator named Jamal who is getting baptized in early October] me and jones are doing pretty great, we may have 2 new people, right now theyre potentials. we tracted into a kid named blake whos grandma is mormon so that helps us, and a lady named lisa that weve visited twice but havnt gotten in the front door yet. yes were watching it at church [referring to General Conference this weekend], and were getting pizza before the pristhood metting so that wil be nice. actually the lady, delores i may have talked about at one point in time was going to be baptized just was going to wait till she moved to colarado to do it. now shes not moving there and me and jones picked her up as an investigator. as we were talking she says she watches a lot of the byu tv station and always watches conference. so me and jones were surprised at that. hopefully we can get others to watch. ... and thats funny that haidan read three chapters so that you would have to catch up. [he is referring to Haidan reading the Book of Mormon. While at the MTC, Sean challenged us all to read at least 5 verses a day and that by the time he comes home from his mission, we will have read the entire Book of Mormon] 

thats good to hear rhat ill be getting a package this week. just be careful on all the snacks you send. i dont want to get to fat out here. average gain for the mission is 30 lbs, so im gonna try to stay away from that. oh! i got my patriarchal blessing sunday after church, pretty great! jones and brother owens got to sit in on it. patriarch warren is one of the longest running patriarchs in the church to that is pretty cool. today looks to be pretty fun, basketball and scatter ball. thats pretty much every man for himself dodgeball. other than that i look forward to hearing from you guys and getting that package!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! love and miss you guys!

Always so good to hear from him! Have a great week.... hopefully I'll update with some new pictures soon.  At least I requested new pictures in my email to him today - so hopefully he will send some soon!
