Hey mom'

Alright so idk if I am going to be able to call today because of my companion. He is very controlling with the phone so we are going to have to see what happens. That is why I am not very reactive to messages, I did send a message to my President talking about that and him using the phone as much as he does on Facebook. I don't know what will happen but we will see. How was the birthday party? Super drained aftereards?? Your party sounds fun though! I would say that I should do something like that when I get home but all of my friends are leaving this month so I have a little bit of time before I can do anything like that haha. And are you kidding me?? That's funny, especially since I forgot about that family and everything like that... is that bad? I also read your email and have changed up some stuff and this week has been really really good when it comes to not feeling like something is missing. And I seriously don't think that the Riddles have a single idea of their own... speaking of which how is their house coming along?? 

And the goats were people's pets that we kinda chilled with for a while. Weather is just hot and humid. There really isn't much else with that though. I will definitely try to go and react to messages but like I said he is glued to the phone. Like he was on the phone last night for about 2 1/2 hours just going through Facebook. I have about 30 min a day tonuse the phone before he takes it. 

Thanks for your emails this week, I hope that I answered all your questions

Love you!
