Dog??

HI ALL,
(SORRY ABOUT THE ALL CAPS...KYLE'S COMPUTER WAS STUCK AND I(MELANIE) DIDN'T WANT TO TAKE THE TIME TO RETYPE IT!!)

WELL I FOUND OUT THAT THE CHINESE NEW YEAR HERE IS A BIG THING I HAVE SOME PICTURES THAT I WILL SEND YOU LATER OF ONE OF THE MALLS AND THEY HAVE ALL THIS REALLY COOL STUFF SET UP. THEY ALSO HAVE THIS SHOW THAT THEY DO, WE ARE GOING TO GO SEE IT NEXT P-DAY. TODAY WE ARE GOING TO GO WALK AROUND THIS PLACE THAT IS ALL FACTORY OUTLET MALL STUFF, AND THEY ALL ARE NAMED AFTER SUPER HEROS AND DISNEY CHARACTERS. IT LOOKED PRETTY COOL.

MY ANKLE IS DOING BETTER IT IS STILL A LITTLE SWOLLEN, BUT I DON'T REALLY HAVE TIME TO JUST REST IT. BASKETBALL IS FUN, SOME OF THEM (THE NATIVES) ARE PRETTY GOOD, BUT I HAVE THE HEIGHT ADVANTAGE ON ALL OF THEM. IT WAS FUN. THE BRANCH HERE IN BANDUNG, IS FAIRLY SMALL, AND THERE REALLY AREN'T ANY YOUTH. IT IS MOSTLY SINGLE ADULTS, SO WE PLAY BASKETBALL WITH SOME OF THEM.

WELL I HAVE NOW EATEN TO THINGS THAT I DON'T THINK I EVER THOUGHT I WOULD HAVE EATEN, FIRST DOG AND I DIDN'T ACTUALLY KNOW UNTIL A WHILE AFTER I WAS DONE EATING. I WASN'T TOO BAD, REALLY SPICY THOUGH. I HAVE EATEN SNAKE, WHICH WAS REALLY GOOD. WE HAVE A MEMBER IN OUR BRANCH THAT HAS A SNAKE PLACE.

WE GO TO JAKARTA TOMORROW FOR ZONE CONFERENCE. IT WILL BE MY FIRST ONE AND I DON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN. IT SHOULD BE FUN AND WE GET TO EAT REALLY GOOD, THAT'S WHAT PEOPLE TELL ME ANY WAY.

LOVE YOU GUYS,
ELDER TOPHAM
