Will's first mission letter.

Here's Will's letter from last week. We did not get one this week, yet, but as soon as we do, I'll post it.

A Week with Emily, February 15 to 22

We had a nice week with Emily.  She visited us on Sunday and attended our church.  After turning left when she should have turned right, she found our church and William greeted her in the parking lot because he was on his way to the car to fetch our “Linger Longer” chips and dip.  We had “Linger Longer” after church that Sunday.  People out west like to call it “Munch and Mingle.” 

For our Monday family home evening with Emily, we played a card game.   Sam won the first hand and Elaine won the second.   On Tuesday, Emily and Will went to one of the local museums in Pittsburgh, the Science museum.  On Wednesday, Sam came home from school and said he could get extra credit if he had his picture taken at an exhibit at a children’s museum.  Emily, Will and Sam rushed to the museum.  Since it was 4 o’clock, the museum let them in for free.  Sam had his picture taken and they came back home. 

Thursday was a special day.  It was William’s 21^st birthday.  At Wills party, Emily took a video of the gift giving.  You can see the video at the “What’s up with Urban’s” Blog.  We had a special pork chop meal for Will.  We also had Pittsburgh pirogies; although, I must admit, Pittsburgh pirogues are nice, but. 

On Friday, William had expected to take Emily to his improv group in Pittsburgh.  However, after a family discussion, we chose to go see Coraline in 3-D.  Dad slept through some early parts.  After the movie, we dropped Sam off at his friend Taylor’s house and went home.

On Saturday, we drove to the Washington D.C. temple, where Will obtained his own endowments.  It was a special time.  After that, we dined at the Silver Diner in Rockville with Mary’s and Sarah Jane’s friend Jenifer.  Although the weather was nice in Washington D.C, we drove through a snow storm in West Virginia and arrive home late. 

On Sunday, we said good bye.  Emily returned home as others went to church.  Mary went home too.
