Guess what. My seminary teacher is back! He just had a baby… well, he didn’t, his wife did! She weighs only 5lbs 6oz. She’s tiny! I love tiny babies most. I hope all of mine will be tiny!

Brother M. was tired today. Poor him. I know what it’s like to have a newborn baby and to have to keep waking up through the night when it cries. I’ve taken care of my aunt’s baby through the night before. It’s hard!

I hope he enjoys his new baby, though. They’re such fun. I’ve missed my teacher. Today, we watched a movie and studied 1st Nephi chapter 4. It was great! I LOVE SEMINARY! It’s my favorite class of the day!

Later:
Hey Kristi,
How are you, girlfriend? Me? I’m okay, I guess. Zach and I just got back from a school party. It was great. Some professional singers from our school sang. They just moved here not too long ago. Now we have 7 professional singers at our school. Neat, huh? I love music!
I’ve been in choir for 4 years now and I am still not that good. I am good enough though, I guess. I’ve always wanted to be a singer like that. My friend, Dawn, couldn’t come with us; she had to babysit. Have I even told you about her yet? Man, I really need to catch-up! (I am a really slow writer so I get bored fast and that’s why I hardly ever write.)

Anyway, Dawn is my super-cool friend. She is so incredibly kind to me. I wish I were more like her. She is such a good person. I have a lot to improve on. I am doing better, though. I get even more things done and I don’t yell at my siblings so much anymore. I will keep on trying and someday I will be like Rachel (the perfect girl at school). Seminary is helping a lot. I love that class.

Well, yeah, I guess I am bored again. Partly because my life is so boring! I will see you!
Love, Me
