"Hey everyone! Sorry you haven't heard from my voice in a while.. :D I've been pretty busy!! So, My mom bought this cool Alpha Smart. It's basically this small little keyboard that I can type notes on and then plug into the computer and it spits out all of what I just typed! Pretty nifty huh! So lately I've gotten the feeling that I'm going to get transferred... :[ This is my first area and I hope to stay much longer.. but that's just what I've been hearing. I really hope I can stay because I just love these people here in the Stead Ward so much!! *sigh* oh well. It's bound to happen eventually. (i kinda just don't want to send all my cool stuff home ;D). Anyway. I will tell you a bit about our awesome ward. To start, when I first came into the field our Bishop was just called. So I got to know the ward at the same time as him. (he's pretty awesome). He is a BOSS when it comes to missionary work. haha :D. I serve with Elder Fordham, Sister Barton, & Sister Tibbs. Sister Tibbs is newer to the ward (Elder Fordham and I feel like the ward likes the sisters more ;]) but that's normal right :]?! haha oh well! 
So i got a little sick over the weekend :[ My district leader had food poisoning D: so what happened is, we went on an emergency exchange so the two sicko's could stay home and sleep in while the others could do missionary work :\ productive day for them but we were ready to puke our brains out (sorry that was a little gross) ;D
So right now i'm on top of a HUGE mountain typing this letter! I'll try to send some awesome pictures!!
haha cool!
Elder McSheehy
Here is a little part of Elder Fordham's weekly email as well -
"One more week before transfers. Elder McSheehy thinks he's getting transferred, but we'll see what happens.
Last night was another Why I Believe Devotional. For those that don't know what that is, it is a meeting where speakers talk on why they joined the LDS church. Sister Lester who I have written about several times was the first speaker. She was up there for about 15 minutes and had everyone laughing just about the entire time while she was teller her story why she joined the church. She should just go into standup comedy. She one of the biggest characters I think I will ever meet, and I've none quite a few characters.
Elder McSheehy was sick on Friday and Saturday so on Saturday we had an emergency exchange with the Lemmon Valley elders. While the dying (they weren't that bad) Elder McSheehy and Elder Swaney were at home, Elder Monsen and I went out and visited some people. It was a fairly productive day, but the highlight of the day was I got to drive the truck. That was my first time driving since I came out on my mission, and it was glorious. We visited someone out on Red Rock Road which goes up and down and all around mountains. Needless to say its a really fun road to drive on.
Thursday we had meetings for 7 hours. I think that says it all for Thursday.
Today we hiked up the hill behind the church. Its a bit of a trek due to sage brush and rock, but it was fun. We were in shorts and short sleeves so we only stayed at the top for a little while. It was windy and cold and starting to sprinkle, so we made our way back down soon after getting up there."
It sounds like they are doing okay now that everyone is healthy again.
