October 18

Hi guys, I had this idea that I could try to put my responces to your questions and stuff below in the original email, so I just wanted to try out this idea today and see if it works out okay, if not, please let me know and I will just keep doing it the regular way (note: I am going to try doing it in this color so you will be able to tell what I wrote),

well...we were afraid we might not get your letter today because we got locked out of our email for gmail. How did that happen?  If you ever don't have a letter from there, and have it from one of our other accounts, write back to one of those accounts, okay?? sure,  that way we'll still get it...lol
It's been a fun week - Sunday we went to a baby blessing for Jimmy (your cousin that lives in Layton) his little baby girl.  She's a cutie.  It was fun. sounds like fun,  I made a oreo salad that Dad wanted, and made it low fat and sugar free and it was gone...  I'd even doubled the recipe.  The girls thought it was pretty funny.  I guess they liked it!  lol  oreo salad aye? sounds like it was quite the treat!
The weather has started to chill, the leaves are simply gorgeous!!!  The mountains look like they're on fire. well I hope that they aren't really on fire, please send me a few pics if you could, I would like to see just a little bit, cause from what you said they sound pretty cool this year  
How are things there?  things are going okay, Elder Spaulding and I have had some pretty  interesting things happen over the last couple of weeks  Are you having cold weather yet?  it has been surprisingly chilly in the evenings and mornings out here, not really extreme cold but the humidity makes it seem colder than you think, and the marine layer has been so crazy the past week, we have had almost constant fog and it is just so cool(of course that is my opinion anyway everyone else is of the opinion that it is really odd[or strange] weather, Elder Spaulding and a few others say it is because we are so close to the ocean but whichever)but while I do agree that it is kind of odd, I still think it is pretty cool, I'll send you guys some more pics of it since I didn't get to send you all the ones that I wanted to,  I wouldn't think so.
I am sorry that I am such a money leech, I just seem to be imposing on everyone, right? I mean at first I was constantly asking you guys to help me out and even now I am still asking you guys for help and I'm not even in college or working(have a job I mean) but none the less I am very greatfull for your help, and really, without your help, I wouldn't be where I am now, and I still have a lot to work on, and so thank you mom and dad for everything, I promise that I will do better and that I will try harder not to be such a finacial burden on you guys.
I'm sorry it's taken so long on your shirts - I swear we have 24 hours in the day, but we never seem to have enough time.  :(  I know how you feel, thanks anyway and please make sure to get short sleave shirts(button up white shirts right?), upon carefully reviewing the situation I am in need of at least one or two short sleave shirts, any more than that is more than enough, unless of course later in the mission I ruin one, but so far I only need what has been stated above, thank you very much, shirts are very tricky things, particularly if they are white, because then the wear and tear is somehow more easily and readily apparent to everyone else dispite all your efforts to keep them white, very frustrating
I'm sorry this is short - maybe Dad will have time at his work.  maybe   We are thinking of you - we are praying for you.  Remember the church is true!  We watched 17 Miracles on Sunday night and it was really moving.  That's one that would be good to show investigators or new members how people really sacrificed for the gospel.  Or, maybe not...lol  It's really sad. oh really? does the little dog die? does the little girl's parents disapear? DOES THE YOUNG BOY GIVE UP!!? kidding, kidding, but seriously, whats up, what happens that makes it sad?
 oh well anyway things are okay out here, but on a side note, can you tell me what the recipe is for regular maple syrup?(the home made stuff), and what is the recipe for french toast?  it would be very much apreciated if you could send those to me, thanks, and so in closing, I love you all very much, I am not getting transferred today so I will still be in this spot by the harbor for another 6 weeks or so, I am thinking of you guys always and I will get those letters and that package to you guys as soon as I can, I promise, bye everyone!
