Ahola! this is Brandon once again! :D so, a little update on myself, now that I'm out of the whole hospital stupor thingie I was in last week... whew, I was out of it forEVER. but yes. so, after I sent out the email, we headed back for super Pday, which was pretty fun. I spent a lot of time playin some volleyball, but they had redneck golf, soccer, tennis and some other stuff. we also had some super DUPER awesome hamburgers done by President Dewsnup. I'll attach some pictures of some of the Elders that I hung out with during my time there. but when I got back from Email, President Dewsnup told me that you called like FIVE minutes after I left to do email. LAME!

as for conference.... well, lets just say I was a little bit distracted.... I didn't get to see any of Sundays, and Saturday night I was feelin a really nasty headache from my teeth and during saturDAY I couldn't really focus myself... I had a little bit of pain in my back from my Kidney and I was in a slight stupor from all the ibuprofen the mission doctor was having me take to find out if it was actually kidney stone pain or if there was just a ridiculous amount of tension on my back from nasty muscles. so... yeah. conference didn't really happen for me, which really really REALLY suck 'cause I heard there were quite a few really good talks. *sigh* but at least the brunt of the pain is over... now I just have to wait. I have about a week and a half more to pee this thing out... and if it's not one, well, basically they'll probably have to take another X ray to find out if I made it disappear without me noticing, or if it's still there. and if it's still there, then I've got a super sweet surgery in store for me. oh yes. I'm so stoked about that. and there's no pill they give me to make it disappear either. there's only a little laser. and ONE point of entry. *sigh I hope I get this out soon. ha ha ha, I don't want SURGERY! especially THERE!!!!!! :'( but hey. I'm not saying that I WANT to know how childbirth feels, but I'm just going with what the doctors have said. and they said that it was WORSE. however, I'm not up for having to go through pain anywhere NEAR that bad ever again, so I'm going to be a good little boy and drink Gallons of water like I'm supposed to and go to the bathroom every thirty minutes because I'm drinking so much. it's very nice you know. going to the bathroom that much. I LOVE it.

other than that, I'm doing great. how are YOU doing?

yay! Hannahs back from DC!!! :D you should have her send me some pics from there. that would be sweet! I wanna see! she sent me a postcard from busch gardens cause she had heard that I was in the hospital. aw, so sweet. it was really nice. :3

aw, the Dicksons are moving to Ridgecrest? that's a bummer.

YAY! Robins going to BYU I, eh? that's a bummer. it woulda been pretty sweet to have gone to college with her, but I guess it's just not meant to be. xD how's she planning on paying for everything? she doesn't have anything saved up, right? how was the tour of LDSBC? does it look like something that I would be able to actually get into? xD ha ha ha. was everything pretty spiffy there?

DANG!!!! that's crayzee that you guys ran into sooooooo many people while you were there in Salt Lake!!! you ran into Jesse and her friend AT Moochies? please do send pictures of everyone you got to see, I WANNA SEE TOO! :P

I really like how Donny's hair looks by the way. very nice. very nice. :D

ha ha ha! you got pulled over in Hamilton? after Driving in the left lane for TWENTY FIVE miles?! gosh. nice play off they. "oh no, I had no idea that I was in the oncoming traffic lane officer" ha ha ha! that's cool though that he was pretty nice. it's a bonus you didn't get a ticket too! but you know, when I get back, I wouldn't mind going on a tour of Hamilton, either. :D do you think a small road trip would be possible? I think that would be really nice, you know. whaddya say? :3 (He didn't understand what I was saying so this is all mixed up and not what really happened!)

AH YES! speaking of April. Leanne already emailed me!!!!! I'm super duper excited for her!!!! :D so it was this last Sunday? :D I WANT PICTURES!!!!

so dad did my taxes and I'm getting about 300 bucks back? SWEET! you know what that means? yes, like you said, it'll help take the bite out of the dentist (ha ha ha! sweet. dentist pun) it also means that I have more money for GUITAR STUFFS! coolio. I'm so excited to pretend that I get to buy more gear, I think I'm just going to cry.

No way! Donny and Theresa are dating now? COOL BEANS! that means I could be related to BRYAN! ha ha ha! yes. that would be sweet. but I have a feeling that Theresa and Donny won't just up and run away. Donny's not that kinda guy, yo. but, it's nice that this might open the door to the whole FAMILY getting converted, eh? hows THAT sound? alright!

also, what does it take to be a sealer in the temple? 'cause dads a veil worker, right? what do you do to do that, too?

anyways, Ive got to bust a move, yo. it's kinda taken a long time to get this thing typed up, and Elder Harvey askes me every few minutes if I'm done yet. ha ha ha. gosh. so impatient.

anyways, I love you super duper much, yo! (more than Robin loves texting at the dinner table!)
