Hey bud. Yeah last night at about 10:00 when I was running stairs we heard yelling outside, down on the street, people yelling "Obama, Obama" We weren't allowed to go to the acceptance ceremony in Grant Park. Today is more insane though, all of the Chicago Times are sold out at all of the stands, I want to get one even though I can't read it on my mission and send it home. Every stand is sold out. People have shirts and buttions and are reading the papers all over. I want to get some stuff. It sounds llike life for you is going good. Hang in there bro. I love you and I love hearing your testimony, for me at least, You'd make a great companion. We'd be like Alma and Amulek.Love ya tons.
I sent Zach a letter yesterday, I guessed he was going to peru. That's way cool though,but it's a ways away. So I did get my ballot saturday and I voted and sent it away. It just had to be postmarked the day before the election so I was ok. My candidate won. I got your package but I was waiting till closer to my birthday to open it so I just opened it last night and saw what I was supposed to do. I caught up, and opened 006 today. That's a clever idea, you always know how to make something interesting. I can't wear the polo though so I'll send it home. I still have to be in proselyting attire for p-day. The only time I can change is for workout, or service, and I don't want to use that shirt for those. Either Josh can have it and wear it, or you can return it and put the money in my account or get something I can use. I appreciate it though, it's nice, I just can't use it, and it will just sit in my suitcase for the next year and a half. Today I'm at the apple store doing email again, because our libraries internet is shut down. We're downtown, none of the stands have a Chicago times, I want one to send home since I can't read it....I'm going out to lunch someplace nice with Elder Purdie my trainer, my comp, and his comp. Bill Murray is taking us. He's arranged and set everything up, so it should be exciting. Wicked was awesome last week, I'm not a big musical fan but this was incredible. The effects were awesome, and those witches can wail. I love you tons mom. That salt thing is really cool. The work is starting to move forward. We've been blessed with some great investigators. We had one freshmen from Northwestern at Church this week, he's 18. I think how much this gospel will change his life. I think about myself at about that stage, and my conversion and how it has changed my life. It's unreal to think I'll be 20, I look back on my life, and I feel I lost a chunk of my teenage years with my family, with all the trials I faced. I'm not going to be a teenager anymore, it's time for me to become a man. This is a huge change. Thanks for the birthday stuff. I love you mom. This church is true, and I am doing the greatest work known to man. It's incredible. I have a divine calling, and the lord trusts me with his holy priesthood. Keep me in your prayers as I do the same. With love from the City
