Jack Handy

I was browsing the internet looking for information on a paper i have to do and randomly came across an old Jack Handy quote... 
"I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate. And i can picture us attacking that world, because they'd never expect it" Jack Handey.
 I believe we as a family have been putting this off for too long... its time we stated our own collection of Jack Handy Quotes, wether they be something we found on the internet, or our own version of a Jack Handy Quote. I invite all to contribute.

Valentine's Day

This year on Valentine's Day my parents were in Payson for interviews so the kids and i decided to invite the kids i babysit over so their parents could go out to dinner. We meant to have a party but unfortunately that was hard with 3 kids under the age of 2. Jeffrey had fun playing with Jack outside though and the rest of the kids enjoyed helping me with the twins. Happy late Valentines Day! I love you all!

(Link) The Study and Treatment of Childhood

Please be aware: the University of Pennsylvania has just released a study on an epidemic of childhood sweeping the country (click on the title to see the full study). I don't know if there's a vaccine in the works, but it could very well be affecting our families. Ben & Alli, you may want to get Adam tested...there may still be time. Lest you think I jest, review the many footnotes providing documentation of this phenomena.

Good call-conference was great

Conference was AWESOME! But I only made it to the Sunday sessions. The nearest stake center is all the way up in Los Mochis and it takes a long time to get up there, so thats a bummer. That and the fact that the Ensign comes so late to us gringos that its almost a Christmas present. Speaking of which, send me the same as last year: candy, and things I can give to other people. I loved the Missionary Calander that Sarah snet me last year, and the toothbrush that is totally awesome. Zone conference was awesome, and in Spanish again. I am loving the spanish language. people know quick from my accent that I am from the USA, but at least they are understanding me consistently. Life is great! I learned/ re-learned some rules this zone conference that I had innocently and honestly forgotten about which I immediately corrected and I feel like a better missionary now and we are seeing progress in more investigators. I got letters- 2 from Sarah, 1 from aunt Shelly, one from Don Garmon ( which were hilarious and very inspirational), and another from Bro. West there in GA. That last one was quite unexpected! And I loved them all! This week I completed a key date... I now have less than nine months on the mission so now no one can surprise me with more babies. HA! I love you alll!-Elder Tolman
