Dear Folks,

I’m sorry that I haven’t written sooner but I haven’t had time to do very much of anything, except go to school. We were so busy Monday That I didn’t even have time to do a ting except rush. We visited Welfare square and had a very nice lunch. In the afternoon we purchased our tickets and then went through the Temple. I found it much more interesting than it was the first time. Most of the problems have been erased by now. Saturday they took us through and explained it all too us. It was very interesting and we picked up a lot of points that you can get in no other way.

Geraldine and I were invited to Lydias for dinner Sunday. We had a very nice dinner and then we went out to Bagley’s for a while. It seemed rather nice to go for a ride and just relax for awhile.

I can’t remember all that has happened and I haven’t time now to look it up so I’ll skip and write you the details later.

We were set apart today. Samuel O. Bennion set me apart. It gave me a funny feeling but I like that feeling. I was appointed as ‘boss’ of the gang on our train until we get there. I am at geraldines now waiting for dinner and then to the train.

I got your letter and the stuff and was glad to get it. All of the tools were returned except the D8 pannel saw and wins had that over to his place. I can’t think of anything else. The time is short but I’ll have pleanty of time on the train so will write the.

Love

Paul
