From Jordan (last week)

We got to talk with Jordan (Skype actually) for almost 2 hours last Sunday. IT WAS SO MUCH FUN!!! He looked as cute as ever and HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY! He called us from an investigator's home who had bought a new microphone for their computer just for the occasion (I thought that was kind). He says he is getting fat from all the white bread and good food. He says everything there is good and the only thing that he has had to eat that was "questionable" was bits of floating tripe in a soup once. I guess with this last transfer he got a companion from the office who is skilled in construction and going home in under a month and they were given permission to move in with the other set of Elders and remodel the bathroom in their house (which is so nasty that the shower walls were black with mold) as a service project. The owner is paying for all of the materials and they are providing the hours, the brain, and the brawn. Jordan is just hoping they can get it done before his companion leaves because he doesn't know what he's doing.=) Jordan is already talking about going back as a civilian when he leaves. He loves it that much!

The pictures are of before and after pictures of our bathroom, before and after picture of the back yard, and going through the temple with Jesus my companion Elder Erickson is to my left.
