How can I be twenty? (9/29/08)


Yesterday, the 28th, I turned ten.[1] Today, the 29th, I turned twenty. I was in fourth grade the last time I changed a decade. I still feel like a kid. I am overwhelmed at the thought of being in my twenties. I guess I always felt that being old was for other people, but not for me. Ack!

Thanks very much for the package. I am very disappointed at M&Ms, because they added green and purple to the Halloween mix. A few weeks ago before the Halloween season started I pondered if I should consider purple a Halloween color, but I ultimately decided against it. One of the grounds for doing so was that M&Ms had no purple for Halloween. And then they disappointed me by adding those extra colors. I can kind of see purple but green is absolutely out of the question.

It's been so long since I've cashed a check I don't remember how to cash Grandma and Grandpa's, especially since they don't have American First up here. I don't even know where a bank is in this area.

We had our interviews this week. I asked President Clark if he had any ideas about our transfers. He didn't know, but he said three transfers is too short to stay in an area, that it's usually supposed to be four to six. So I may be here another seven weeks, since this is the last week of the transfer. We will find out probably on Saturday morning before conference. We get to attend few meetings other than regular church meetings, but we get to view all five sessions of conference. It's also the time we are reunited with our suit coats full-time. It's supposed to be in the 80s or 90s again this week >-( so that might not work too well.

I have more to write but I'm losing time, so I will definitely try to write snail mail today. But I can't guarantee anything.

Love,

Your elderly son
