I met her aunt and uncle when i was in christiansburg. that was a surprise!! (not sure who this is in reference too)
* OHHH, I think that's sister G.. She's really cool. I'm getting even skinnyer since being there. (member of the church from Peterstown that wrote on Billy's facebook wall and commented on his losing weight)
* Snow? Wow, all we're getting is rain.
* Those things were SOOOO~ GOO~D!!(soft sesame seed cookies) I loved 'em! I'd love a copy of the 'articles of faith' by Talmage. If you could swing that.

New Mission President in July
And here's some news for ya from Pres. Thornock--
"I thought you might like to know who your mission president will be come July 1, 2011. We talked with them last week and they are excited to come and build the kingdom, they are Bruce and Linda Pitt from Centerville, UT. They have 11 children. Their youngest son just got his call to the Baltimore, MD mission. He is a dentist and a military man."
Love YA!!
Weslene speaking:(when I was talking with a sister I visit teach, she mentioned she was raised in Centerville and I told her that Billy would be getting a new Mission Pres. from there before his mission is over in September - she asked if I knew his name and all I could remember is that their last name was Pitt and they had 11 kids. M. laughed and said, "Bruce and Linda Pitt - he was my bishop then Stake president and my dentist!" It's a small world!

Hey Mom & Dad!
Everythings going great! Transfers is tommorrow, and I'm takin' off! I'm going to Spencer, WV. I'm pretty sure it's a branch and is small. But I'm exited to go somewhere else-- and at the same time i'm sad to leave the ward. (we won't know Billy's mailing address until next week)
Library was closed monday. thanks, i was worried that i might have a letter coming, cuz i am being transfered.
Our recent baptism is a girl/18 and her brother was baptised a year or so ago, but is less active now. Her step-mom is a less active member too.
Sweet! wow! hope Ben has fun doing that. (one of Billy's friends just returned from mission to Japan and called as counselor to Sunday School Presidency)
Cool that Brother Renda is teaching Gospel Doctrine!
Hehehe, it's all good. Sister T. is doing good, she just dropped off some cookies for me before I left...white chocolate macadamia!! REALLY GOOD!!
WOW! That's cold in Lacey! It's a balmy 60 degrees!
Wow, alright. that'll be cool for grandma to live with you part of the year and Uncle Tim the other part!
And you have your sons' prayers!(referring to my eye appt. on the 25th)
Well, hopefully Sister V. can at least be comfortable at home and not in the hospital.
Wait wha-...oh, visit teaching, for a min i thought you were reffering to Virginia Tech! lol, been here too long around those stupid hokies!
Wow!! That's awesome! Scott will do a great job on Kylee's flowers and it will look sweet!
....man that stinks. i guess all we can do is pray for Kyle to get permanent work!
Nice!! yea, i've been limiting my milk consumption, just cuz i dont like the taste anymore, though. Keep on truckin'!
ALrighty, I hope y'all are doing well!
LOVE YA!!

ps-sorry,i forgot my new companions name!
"To have faith is to have purpose, and to have purpose in life is what defines a man and makes him steadfast and resolute. Faith keeps him true and, even in the darkest hours, illuminates him like a candles' flame. Faith guides him surely from birth to the grave. It shows him the path, and prevents him from straying into the darkest thickets,where insanity awaits. To lose faith is to lose purpose, and to be bereft of guidance. For a man without faith will no longer be true, and a mind without purpose will walk in dark places."

* Sweet!! Looking forward to seeing it when i come home! (The Eagle Board plack at church - Mike got it updated 'Billy made eagle scout 2/19/08')!
* Yea, that is such a cool video! (In Sunday School, we watched a Seminary Video of Nicodemus visiting the Savior at night and The Woman at the Well)
* Yea, he sent me a letter. He's bouncing between 4th and raineer vista right now, and he's thinkying he's gonna stick with 4th. I got a postcard from g-ma. Other than them, nothing. (asked Billy if he heard from his friend, this week or anyone else! - Grandma has been so faithful writing to Billy every week - God Bless Grandma Billie)
* Oh, here i thought that you said that you sent it already! Ok, i'll be on the lookout! And looking forward to that poppy seed bread! you know how much i love that stuff!!!! (going to send Billy's Valentine package today! We received a loaf of lemon poppyseed bread from the R's last night and since I know it's Billy's favorite, asked Mike if he wanted any and he said go ahead and send to Billy)
* lol, he's married!! so funny. (mentioned I saw the happy new couple at church yesterday - Billy's former SS Teacher and Returned Missionary)
* Ok, i'll put it to good use! (there will be a "daddy approved" missionary toy in his package)
* Sis thornock went and trunk-ified the whole zone! She talked about eternal marrage!! hehe, she's funny. (Mission President's wife speaking at Zone Conference - you know how some say they tell missionaries to go home and get married!)
Well, not much else to report on!

January 31, 2011 - did not receive until 2/1/11!
Hey mom and dad!
THings are going well this week. We're seeing more success. Been able to get a bunch of follow-ups. We'll be starting on 'em this week, most went out of town for school stuff, and told us to come back in early feb.
* Wow! Sunny spoke in stake conf?! Awesome! I hope that he tells me about it in his next letter, too. That'd be cool to hear if dad's recording worked.
* MAn, that's really cool! Way good deal! I wish that there was something around here like that! I LOVE asparagus!(we joined a coop/bountifulbaskets/fruit and veggies)
* Alright. sounds good, hope it goes well! That'll be just after transfers.(feb 23) (mom has an eye consult for cataract surgery)
* Slippers?? I never got those...(Auntie Rockie and Uncle Jim wondered if Billy got his slipper socks they sent him for Christmas)
* Yea, thanks! lol! I don't need to be trunky at 8 months! hehe! (mission time is getting short - Billy comes home this September)
* Not much, just a lot of working! We have zone conference tommorow! that'll be fun!
* It hurts periodically, not like it was before though! (asked about neck/back pain)
* NOt that I can think of... (sending a care package and asked if anything special I could get him)
Well, I hope and pray that you'll have a good one!
Love Ya!!!
