Yeah, the "ring of fire" has started. Chile, Japan, other places in the ring of fire. Everybody is thinking that San Fransisco is next.
General Conference is my 10 month mark and I'll have two months left for my year mark. So Scotty Jr. III will be a year old when I get back.
I'm serious about the Macon mission being dissolved and that one area. Some things had to be re-done. A couple areas have been closed down. We don't have enough missionaries to fill all the areas we have. So some areas had to be combined. So missionaries can go to our missions new areas.
It's been raining off and on the last couple days and through this week. So it's been cooler.
I'll try to do better with the letter this week.

(An email to Kaleen)
Yeah we have schedules according to our districts. I'll be there April 7 or 8th I can't remember which one doing the booty's (coverings for the shoes before going into the Temple). And I think another day we go is when we have transfers which is the 13th. And one other day, but I don't know cause I don't know if I'll be in a different district. Right now I'm only 6 exits off the freeway, north of the temple. Once it's open we'll get to go once a quarter with our zone.
There's a storm coming through this week so it's been nice and it's raining off and on. The pollen is coming out and it'll get worse, it'll get thicker which will be interesting. Which means I have 2 months till I hit a year, yay!
I'm pretty excited too. I'll be the only one on a mission when he comes (baby Scott)! That might be weird to say. But it's kind of cool that I can say that.
It will be interesting to see what Ruger (Scott and Kaleen's german shepherd) does. You should take pictures of them two, showing what Ruger's reaction is.

(About the sweater vests I sent for winter?) They were pretty good. I used them a couple times. Next winter will probably be worse than this last winter since this last one was worse than last year and that was supposedly the "worst" winter Georgia's had.
Am and Charlie. How are they doing? and how is Kaleen doing?
I heard that a hurricane or whatever hit California that came from Japan like two or three days ago?
Our only real solid investigator is Don. He's somewhat progressing. He finally started reading the Book of Mormon like a month or two ago. He's still in 1 Nephi probably at chapter 14. Every time we go over he's on the next chapter and he asks questions about the chapter. It's starting to frustrate me because it's like he wants to know and learn everything there is you can learn in the Book of Mormon. But I'm just glad he's actually reading the Book of Mormon now.
Elder Jordan and I went to the wards scout auction on Saturday night. It was pretty fun. They raised like $5,260 somewhere around there. I couldn't believe how much money was being bet on some of these things.
So now that the Macon mission is being dissolved our mission got four new areas and they split the Lilburn stake. We now have the Conyers stake and the four new areas were added to that stake. I think a ward and a branch combined in the Athens stake. Three missionaries are covering an area almost twice as big as the Roswell Stake, isn't that neat? Well they're in a car so they're lucky.
Well I think that's about it.

We haven't been getting that much rain. The other night we had a thunder storm and it hailed and they were the size or marbles, it was pretty neat.
We live across the street from a fire station and alarms will go off for certain weather. Like one or two days after the thunder storm the alarm went off again but nothing happened that day, it was weird.
One other thing I keep forgetting to say. 3 or 4 weeks ago Michelle Obama was in my area. I heard she went to speak at Northpoint Community Church (a big mega church, I've been inside, it's pretty nice. Maybe I'll baptize Andy Stanley. He has three mega churches and both my areas covered two of his churches.) and I also heard that she was just driving by. Traffic was super bad. We were going to dinner and it took over an hour and it was probably like a normal 5 minute drive right down the road.
A member also told us that Jeff Foxworthy likes to go to the Home Depot in Alpharetta (it's probably the only close one around) which is right down the road from us too. It's right next to the Walmart we always go to.
