Thanks for everything. Don’t worry about the money, everything went fine with that. I found out that suits are somewhat machine washable . Don’t worry I needed a new one anyway. I am glad that Japan went well and that the home is alright.

Alright I better get going. Everything is taken care of, and I will see you tomorrow.

Thanks for everything. I love you very much. Thank you so much for supporting me throughout my life and for these past 2 years especially. I will see you tomorrow.

Love,
your son,

Thanks for the email. Congrats on the surprise promotion. That is really cool and I am sure that it is well deserved. I am glad to hear that your efforts are being recognized.

So how is Tokyo? I actually met with a member in our ward who served his mission there a few years ago. He said he really wants to go back to visit. I bet it is a pretty cool place. What is the air like? I would imagine that it is pretty clean, despite the size of the city.

The work is going really well here, and this area is in good hands. I know that good things are possible here in New Rochelle.

I will most likely get to email next week, but I will have to really be in a hurry to get things done in time. I will start packing Tuesday night, so Wednesday I just have to wash the clothing and pack it and that should be it. One night in the mission home and then it is off to the airport the next day. I am really excited to be home.

I don’t think I have much time left on the computers, so I want to wish you well. I am excited to see you less than 8 days. Have a fun and safe time.

Love,
your son,

How is everything? Sounds pretty busy. That is strange that you had to do a round trip from Seattle to Seattle. The conferences sound really cool. I agree about the making money from syndic8 and second life. I think those are my best options. I made some financial goals for the next 4-10 years over the last few days, that I want to review with you when I get back. I also want to show them to Andy. I think that they may be more attractive to him that retail.

Anyway, I just sent an email to Andy. It sounds like they are working him way too hard at that store. I advised him that he leave as soon as possible. I don’t really think that it is a positive work environment in any sense of the word. So, hopefully he can be out of that environment soon. I am somewhat concerned by that music that he enjoys, especially the even tonight. I am not sure how positive it is. Anyway, I am sure that you and Mom are on top of it.

The time here is going quickly. In my study times, I have been doing some planning and goal setting for the next stage of my life. There is a lot to do. We spoke about getting a laptop. I think that if we do get one, the large form factor models would be best. For my use, which is essentially a portable desktop, I think that would be best. They have good screens and graphics cards, and I think that the large laptops would be good. I would be able to work for a few hours at school, so I could just plug for power somewhere. And they have wireless throughout the campus, or if necessary I could bluetooth to a phone.

Alright, I better go. They are kicking me off the computer, and I still need to email Mom and the girls. Also, Grace hasn’t emailed for 2 weeks. Could you remind her for next week?

Thanks for everything.
