hey guys, thanks for the card info, that should be a real help and thanks for the deposit, I will check to see if it is going to continue to be like that, hopefully it won't, but for now I have no idea.
thanks for everything. so far sounds like you guys have had a good week. we don't know any canadians around here that celebrate canadian thanksgiving, but we do have a elder here that is Canadian, Australian, and Taiwanese, kinda crazy huh?
yes, they are getting very ready for halloween out here.  funny thing though, the stores were getting ready for halloween all the way back in july!, so ya thats whats going on out here. our ward is going to be having what they call a trunk or treat activity on halloween weekend and if people we are teaching are there we get to go and dress up a little (not sure but I think we can).
 I will keep an eye out for that elder hunt you mentioned, it would be pretty funny if he ended up in my district.   glad everything is going well with the garden, keeping the garden going is a good idea with the way that the world is going.
we are still trying to work out the laundry bit, if things work out then I should be able to take care of my laundry for the next few weeks, its amazing just how much doing the laundry changes when it costs you money for each load (both washer and dryer). tell hannah and mark hi from me and please ask the smiths what Elder smith's(Matt) mailing address is, I think he is in the southern part of france, right?
oh well, sorry for taking so long on sending you guys that package I promised, unfortunatly my budget is kind of tight right now so I might not be able to get it to you guys for a little while, but I will try to get that going as soon as I can.  just a little bit of whats going on over here, we had this huge wall of fog roll in on monday and it just seems to be sitting on the coastline, and I mean HUGE!!, I have some pictures for you that I sent with this email let me know what ya think, well not much else is going on except of course that transfers is coming up this next tuesday and we will be finding out if one of us is leaving or if we are staying on saturday night, so anyway running short on time so love you all.
