Hey my family! It sounds like you are doing pretty good!! I hope that yall are surviving school and that poor dad is still hanging strong in drivers ed. I can't believe that you guys got smart phones that is crazy! It seems like just yesterday we were helping mom learn how to use her very first phone! This week has been pretty good! We are having a ton of general authorities come in the next couple weeks so poor president Hansen is kind of stressing out. Elder Teh of the Seventy is coming on Wednesday, then on the 31st Elder Cook is coming, and then on Feb. 1st Presiding Bishop Stevenson is coming possibly with L. Tom Perry. He was talking to the Zone Leaders in MLC last week and he told them , "There are going to be so many General Authorities around here that you can't swing a dead cat in a circle without hitting one of them!" hahahaha You can tell that he is a good ol Idaho guy. Don't tell too many people that we don't want to get him in trouble, but I thought that was pretty awesome. :) Guess what I had for dinner yesterday? Barbequed raccoon!! I feel like a true Louisianan now. It was kind of like roast beef but it had a wild twang too it. It was also super greasy...but it was worth trying. Things are going better with Elder Porter, Maybe just because I am growing more patience... :) I do have to be honest with you though, yesterday I was eating some grapes and as I had one in my hand it just felt perfect to throw. My companion was clear across the room and before I even realized what happed there was a grape sailing across the room. haaha And it was so much fun that I threw the whole bag at him and we had a grape fight, it was pretty awesome! I'm sorry that I always throw things I need to work on it :) I hope that yall have a wonderful week!! I love you so much!!!! Love Mud
