Letter from Josh 4 January 2010

Hey!!!

I am glad the package got there so quickly. i just wish the stuff you sent to me would get here that fast. and dad, all the stuff i send home is for you guys, i will be bringing home my own souvenirs in my suitcase. i plan on filling my suitcase with souvenirs and ditching all of the stuff that i have been wearing for two years, it will be pretty worn out by then.
There isnt a whole lot to report since i already told you about chyulu. this week will be zone conference though. should be fun. i still have to organize lunch and a few other things for it, but nothing too hard.
I'm glad you all had a fun new year, everybody everywhere just like normal. i am shocked at how big joseph butler is in that picture though. i mean he was big last time i saw him before i left, but i think he still grew another foot.
Mom, it would be great if you could start the college thing. i think they want admission stuff for the january semester at the same time as the fall semester anyways. it was that way when i left anyways. i left an admission letter and a scholarship letter from utah state in my top left drawer and when i went up there the first time i spoke to some people at the office and got it deferred and what not so i should be on their file but if not than those papers should work/help for a new admittance application. and to correct what you wrote on the blog, i dont have a 4.0, i have a 3.97, which retartedly actually matters and doesnt get me as much. and the more retarted part is that the 3.97 is un-weighted, but pg high refuses to put the weighted gpa on anything "official." anyways, i just want to start school next january so if you could help to get that going i would be very grateful. and Ron is still busy at the shop huh? does that mean that there is a job waiting for me when i get home?
i know this e-mail wasnt exactly captivating, but i promise i will do better next week. then i will have a full week to report on and not just a friday-sunday right after new years while everybody is still up-country. i love you guys! have a great week!
Love,
Elder Josh Harris
