Hey Dad, thanks for the pick-me-up, and as well on that, I would not ever ask you guys for money just so I could eat out more, trying to budget my money out here is tight enough as it is without worrying about how I would be going to get extra cash from you guys to go do something like eat at some cool restaurant or buy some pricey toy or something, as if I would ever really want to do that or even be able to pull that off.  I mean I would think that from what I have seen and/or experienced that it wouldn't be all that hard for you guys to tell if I were lying, so please don't think that I would try to get extra cash from you guys for dumb stuff like that, I would never do that to you, although I did use some of the money you guys gave me earlier on in my mission to pay for some groceries and a few small things, like those colored tabs I got.  So ya, I'm sorry about that, I ended up taking them out of my scriptures anyway, so that was stupid. thanks anyway for all your help and for everything you've done.
So next thing, as a cool bit of info for ya, we had dinner this last week with someone pretty famous in the world of dance.  We ate with Donny Burns, if you are familiar with "So You Think You can Dance" then you will know who he is.  Just another little cool tidbit, he is from Scotland! his accent is really cool.
Anyway I will write you guys some more stuff next week and I will try to send you those letters I promised within the next week or two, I love you guys very much and I hope you guys have a good week.
