Here are some pictures: Here is Stephen with Chase (left) and Cody (right) two of his friends who had finished their missions earlier this year: Stephen’s brother Andy didn’t go to the airport (due to some confusion about a piano lesson), so ... http://elderbarr.vertexdev.com/blog/index.php?p=137 Dear Mom and Dad, 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 ... http://elderbarr.vertexdev.com/blog/index.php?p=136 Dear Dad, 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 ... http://elderbarr.vertexdev.com/blog/index.php?p=135 I can’t believe that we are now just 14 days away from Stephen’s return. He’ll be arriving at Sea-Tac on the evening of the 21st. Later that evening he will deliver a report on his mission to our local Stake President, and then he will be officially released as a ... http://elderbarr.vertexdev.com/blog/index.php?p=134 Hey Dad, 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 ... http://elderbarr.vertexdev.com/blog/index.php?p=133 Dear Mom and Dad, Thanks for the great email. I am writing a reply to both of you today. Things have been busy this week. We just got back from the mall…not too impressive. A lot of cool stuff but I think the mission has changed me quite a bit so ... http://elderbarr.vertexdev.com/blog/index.php?p=132 Without much fanfare, Stephen tells us that he’ll be back from his mission on the 21st of December! We are so happy to know that he’ll be home for Christmas. I have updated the countdown clock, and as I type this it means that he’ll be back in just 24 ... http://elderbarr.vertexdev.com/blog/index.php?p=131 Dear Family, So, I am now with my new companion in New Rochelle. Mom, sorry to hear about the package. Hopefully I can figure out a way for it to get to me. Anyway, things are going great, except I am incredibly low on funds. It is nice to be in Westchester ... http://elderbarr.vertexdev.com/blog/index.php?p=130 Per the countdown clock on this blog, Stephen has just 49 days to go. He’ll be coming home on the morning of January 2nd and starting at the University of Washington as a Junior less than 24 hours later. This will undoubtedly be a rough and somewhat abrupt transition, but ... http://elderbarr.vertexdev.com/blog/index.php?p=129 Dear Dad, Thanks for the letter. I hope that you had a good time at the conference and are now safely back in Seattle. Things are going pretty well here. I am not sure if this is my final area or not. There is one last transfer opportunity, next week, so I ... http://elderbarr.vertexdev.com/blog/index.php?p=128
