I wake up 6:30 and go to sleep at 10:30. I guess it's enough for minimal functions...

Still no news about playing the piano. I have seen a lot of Elders I know lately.

Pretty neat huh?

ASL is fine. I understand a ton more now. I am still learning new signs everyday.

Thank you very much for the no-bake cookies. I only shared one of them with Elder Davenport. They are truly a blessing to behold. The cookies I mean. The Elders are okay I guess. It's frustrating still with Elder Burwell...he ran straight into me today. Because he's blind and deaf and has ADHD and whatever else.

The elders above our residence must be wrestling or jumping for no reason on the floor every night.

It reminds me of when Maggie would drop her toys in strange hours of the night and I would wake up.

I am too timid to go talk to them about not stomping their heels so hard every night...I'm hoping they will be leaving soon. 

Every time I go to GYM, I always play volleyball. It's probably my favorite sport now. But I never really get a chance to acheive maximum potential when I play. There are two courts and one is always occupied by tongans who decimate the ball every time they touch it. And the other court is for little purple pansies...so I'm switching back and forth often to see where I like it. With the Tongans, I get to jump and spike and set and all that... with the pansies I get to stand there and pretend to laugh when everyone else does.

anyway, I saw Brother Swenson from wolf hollow 1st...at the Temple today. We talked a little bit...he said he would tell you he saw me ....or something.

I am enjoying the experience.
