Hey all! So this morning we walked out of the apartment to come to the library to email and the mailman was outside so we just waited for him... and guess what?! I had this box! And guess what was in it!? Mangos, fruit rollups, M&Ms, a SUPER cute skirt (from Christopher and Banks), a letter, and... UKULELE MUSIC! We are all very excited for this box! I have the greatest family ever! And today, my companions even agree with me! Well, they did this morning. After reading the letters from their families they may have changed their minds but don't worry, I still think I have the greatest family ever! Okay housekeeping items...

1. Mom: I would LOVE to write grandpa, but I need his address. Keep me updated on him... strokes are a big deal. But I know he won't stay down for long. Oh Grandpa. Oh... I just read your card, it's there :-)

2. transfers are this week. So currently I still have both of my lovely trainers. :-) AND ITS GOING TO STAY THAT WAY! None of us are getting transferred. It's just not happening. (knock on wood)

3. Natalie: that sounds SO painful. But...kind of funny at the same time. Only because you're not seriously injured. I'm glad you're getting feeling back in your foot. I hope you took pictures and that you send them to me soon :-)

4. Rachel: Sorry I wasn't there to do your hair. I'm sure you looked beautiful anyway. Sounds like you have a way busy summer coming up. You will have so much fun!

5: Megan and Justin, Happy anniversary! I hope you had a wonderful weekend! And that's awesome that you bought a new 5th wheel. I can't wait to see it!

So thank you all so much for your letters and emails. You have no idea how much they boost me up and make me want to work even harder! You guys really are the best. I am so lucky to have such a wonderful family!

Update on our investigators: Josh was going to be baptized yesterday but due to scheduling and trips and jobs... we're not sure when he will be baptized. But he will be. He is an awesome young man and really excited to be baptized. We moved his date because we didn't want to have to rush through the lessons. Scheduling is hard because they pick up jobs whenever they are available and so their schedule is rather unpredictable. Also he might be going to Arizona for the birth of his nephew... they're not really sure yet. So if he is the missionaries in Arizona will finish up the lessons and then he'll get baptized when he gets back OR if he doesn't go we'll just finish the lessons and set a date. Hopefully we will have a more concrete plan sometime this week. Zoey, who is 9 is also planning to be baptized. We are just waiting for her great grandfather to be ready to baptize her so we're not quite sure when that will be. But we will talk to the Bishop sometime today and hopefully get that all figured out too. Since Zoey started investigating the church she has brought so much of her family back to church! This little girl is having a profound effect on her family and it's just so exciting to watch what her example is doing for all of them! Sorry this is a really fast email but I have some other things I have to do on the computer for my training before I get off. Oh! Landon, I love you and I'm so proud of you going to the MTC this week! I'll be thinking of you! Have a wonderful time and learn a lot at the MTC! And give us some details in your emails! names, experiences... details. I know you can do it! Don't forget to send the emails to me at this address, and I'll remember to send you emails at your myldsmail address! And don't forget... Brother Crandall! haha. K. I love you all so much! Thanks again for the emails and the package! TTYL!
