Choose the Truth

Hey Family,
Thanks for the e-mail mom. So I don't' know how long this is going to be, I only have a few minutes. I wish I could write allot more, but I really don't have much time. But I got the package, thanks for it and the bag, the jelly belly stuff from Milwaukee and the scripture marking pen and everything.

The scripture memorization is coming along quite well, it's starting to get hectic though with it, I have like over 30 memorized and by the time I leave I'll have like almost 90! which I'm excited about.

I"m glad to hear that everything is going well for ya. So dad is exercising too? that's good. and i will ask heather about her date. maybe something will come from it.

Oh and I'm glad she has more space in my old room now. and i really really liked the jelly belly gummies. the bat gummies were the best. Thanks for the package, and did Kristin really make the fudge???

So today we went to the temple and because this is the last week the native Russian speakers are here we were able to do sealings. I love going to the temple and i wish i could spend more time there, especially in the celestial room but we have a lot to do on Preparation Day. So thanksgiving was great, we heard from Elder Neuenschwander, i think he might have been Cory's Mission President, but I'm not sure. He talked with us and it was really fascinating to hear him talk about Eastern Europe and all the work that is moving along over there.

Then later we had a thanksgiving meal but it wasn't anything like what Mom and the family prepare for Thanksgiving. Following the meal we had a service meeting and then we put together 10,000 kits for Haiti and another country that just had a disaster. So how is grandma Webb doing? I hope she's doing well, and what about the Weisses? have they been able to sell their house? Well I've gotta go but I'll try and write a letter if I have time.

Oh and thanks for the ring, I got it, and it fits just fine. (Daniel was given a ring and lost it before he left in the couch) And I even learned what it says. It says Vee-bare-aye Ees-tee-new. It is spelled completely different in Russian, but I don't' have Russian characters on here. But it means choose truth. Because I guess the phrase choose the right was coined by the communist regime in Russia and as a result the church doesn't want to be associated with that. Little story for the Day, Attach that and give to mom and whoever if they were wondering how to say choose the truth in Russian!
