I don't want to take too much time to write this week for reasons that I'll have time to explain next week, so I'll try to just touch on a few brief points.
1.I've asked for a few recommendations for dentists, apparently there's one office that's full of members, don't know if you want to check it against a list from insurance but I'm gonna go ahead and make an appointment in case it takes awhile to get in.
2.(Personal request removed.)
3.I don't know if you've already picked something out, or if I should even ask for this, but is there anyway I could request for my Christmas PJs a pretty, white flannel nightgown, traditional style with long sleeves, high neck, and ruffles in about a size 24 or so? I don't necessarily need or have room for anything new for myself (though if you're already sending something, I'm sure I can find the space) and if I had the time I would love to make this one myself, but it's hard to get all the materials and find someone with a sewing machine and...these are times I wish I could just take a day off from being a missionary and do whatever I want, but there will be plenty of time for different forms of service when I get home, right now I have to try to fill my time with more direct service to the Lord.

Oh, speaking of choir - I was going to ask when the concert was, I'm so excited they recorded it this year! Yay!!! (And by the way, I didn't mention last week (I always leave something out!) I have been enjoying the NC Ward cd very much, it so crazy to hear all the songs and be able to say "I know that voice!") I'm also singing in the ward choir (only one ward was able to pull one together) and this past Sunday I sang O Holy Night in Sacrament Meeting. I wanted to record it but the brand new batteries I just bought a month ago wouldn't even turn the light on the camera on (when the old, dead batteries would) let alone actually turn the camera on, so I couldn't. But it turned out very well, I wish I could have preserved it somehow, maybe I'll just have to do it again wherever I am next year. As for the Christmas cds, last I knew they were all in a box near the stereo, I think, or maybe we couldn't find them last year either so we just listened to the same eight cds for a week I'm beginning to recall. Oh, well. Do you want the Celtic Christmas cd back? I could just make a copy for myself.

What's this about Tasha in Utah? Nobody tells me anything :O( Just kidding! Someone needs to call that girl to be a ward missionary, she's doing such a fabulous job - keep it up! Since we're on the subject, did they ever call a new choir director? Wasn't Dad up for a new calling? What's the word on the street? ...yo ...one :O) too many funny things at once! Okay, I should probably wrap it up for now, thanks for all the love'n'stuff!!! Can't wait till Christmas!
