Hey, everyone its good to hear from all of you. Sounds like you all had a good but busy week. I also had a busy week. I have been working on a paper and also had three tests this past week. Some how I got it all done. The Lord has really blessed me. My basketball team won its first game this past week. We destroyed the team. We actually played Mackell Lakey's boyfriends team. Sorry I butchered her name, but I have seen her a lot around campus. This week I went the listen to BYU Vocal Point and they were so good. It was way sweet to hear them and watch them perform. I bet Ken and Bill have heard them perform before. They did an awesome job and it was just a lot of fun. I was sad to hear that BYU lost this weekend. It made me mad after their big win. It's all good though. This Sunday was good. Mom and Dad had my roommates and I down for dinner. It was a lot of fun and good to see half of the family again. Thanks again Mom and Dad and Janaye. Things have been going well for me. I am just trying to keep on top of my work and I think I'm doing a pretty good job of that. Well I hope all of you have a great week.

Swell Week
Hey everybody!
My week has gone pretty well. It was really busy with 2 tests, but they both went well. I am now preparing for a test in my stats class this week. Work is really good. I was moved to the "pilot" district. They are teaching a new curriculum at the MTC focused on teaching to meet investigators needs rather than just focusing on planning and teaching skills. There are only a few districts that are piloting so I am excited to be in one of them. I play the role of a progressing investigator twice a week. I basically just come in street clothes and play the part of someone that I taught on my mission and each companionship gets to teach me for about 30 minutes.
Things with Morgan are going really well. For those who don't know already, we bought plane tickets to Seattle for President's Day weekend. I'm just going to meet her family and spend the weekend in Seattle. No, I'm not going to ask her dad for permission, just meet the family. Apparently her cousin is a pilot and he is going to fly us around Seattle for day. Should be fun!
BYU lost to New Mexico this weekend, which was totally depressing. Hopefully we can pull it together. I'm currently working on a missionary opportunity. I have been emailing Mrs. Rahl from Skyline. I just sent her an email yesterday asking her if she has ever read the Book of Mormon before. We will see what comes of it!
I'm planning on signing a contract for a new apartment this week for the Spring/Summer semester. Its just a block away and is a TON nicer than the colony for less $$. I'm really excited for it. Plus, it is in Morgan's ward.
Well, I have got some homework to do and then off to work. I hope all is well. I love you all!

Hello one and all!! This last week has been pretty crazy!! School was tough this week! I managed to cram a pre ACT and four tests into two days!! It was a difficult week but I made it. Basketball was pretty good this week! We went one and one!! They were non conference games and so now it's on to districts this week. We play Idaho Falls on Thursday and then we could possibly play Saturday depending on if we when or lose! I hope all is well for everyone! I love you all and hope you have a great week!
Love,
janaye!

Ken's Week
Hey family,
Hope that your week went well. Mine was good. Very busy, but good. I have been extremely busy with school, work, and some new business projects that I have gotten involved in. I am now consulting for a couple of new startup companies that I will have to tell you about sometime. It should be a good learning experience and I am looking forward to it. This week I also attended a luncheon with a famous entrepreneur, Steve Blank. It was fascinating to hear him speak and a lot of fun to network with successful, local entrepreneurs. I'm also in a class here where we are interviewing many of Utah's top 100 businessmen and entrepreneurs. It is a unique opportunity to meet some important people and learn how they have become successful. I'm excited for it.
I also had a great time with BYU basketball this week. We played #4 San Diego St. and it was a crazy atmosphere. We had to wait outside in the snow in a mob of people for 3 hours to get tickets to the game. Then, on Wednesday we had to be to the game 4 hours before tip off to get a seat. It was the loudest sporting event that I have ever been to. My ears were ringing for a couple of hours after the game. It was a great game and we came out victorious!
I am enjoying my time here at BYU and am grateful for the many blessings I have been given from the Lord. I hope that you all have a great upcoming week. I love you all and miss you.
