Hola,

First things first, the news pretty much doesn't get to us, so I actually hadn't heard anything about Leonard Nemoy until now.  It's sad to hear, but he did in fact live long and prosper.  I do wonder what they're going to do in the star trek movies now though.  Probably send William Shatner in as his replacement.  Or just ignore his existence from now on.  Still, he always seemed like one of those celebrities that would always be around, so it's weird to hear he's gone.  Still, that's part of life I guess.

As far as things here, this week was pretty good, but I'm pretty sure that President Crickmore hasn't stopped his prayers yet.  Good news, we had an investigator come to church after a couple of weeks working with her.  Her name is Laura, and she is very interested in the church.  If all goes according to plan, she should be getting baptized on the 21st of this month, but we'll see what happens, or if I'm still here on the 21st.  Other than that, things are more or less the same here, we're still working, and we still manage to find some people to teach.

As far as science fairs go, it could be worse.  To see what I mean, look up cup of dirt by Brian Reagan.  Still, I'm sorry to hear it was hard.  I would like to see that project on the negative affects of science fairs on families.  Maybe next year someone will follow through on it.  Oh, and I give the new church arangements about as long as the last ones lasted.  Maybe not, but I don't see it lasting.  And careful what you say, being a junior high teacher is a fate I wouldn't wish upon anybody.  It turns you into Mrs. Jamison.  Just think about it.

Ok, I think that's about it for me.  Thank you so much for your love and support.  I love you, and I'll talk to you next week.

Love,

Elder Samuel Long
