The Pig lives!

Oh hi BGR!

Time for the Wednesday edition of the boring dad letter.

Actually, I’m in an especially excited and hopeful mood. Remember I told you I was fasting for a very specific thing on Sunday? That one of the jobs would call me for an interview leading to a job? Well, that exact thing happened on Tuesday afternoon. I got a call from a company in American fork. The job description looked like a very mildly reworded version of my resume. I have a phone interview tomorrow at 10:30. I’m trying very hard to be confident and not get ahead of myself, but I am so hopeful Ben. I’m hopeful because I want that specific job, I’m hopeful because it was an answer to one of the most specific prayers I’ve ever dared give, I’m hopeful because it’s just time. I’m fearful for many reasons too, but I’m trying my hardest not to go there in my mind. I’m writing this a little bit earlier than normal in hopes that you see it and can pray along with the rest of us that something may come of it. 

Our Monday holiday was pretty standard. As you know we went to gualbertos for dinner. We went to McDonald’s for breakfast. Have you ever had a triple-stack egg McMuffin? I know you’re not an egg guy, but oh man, you should look into it.

Today I took Jacob to the lds employment office. He got help searching for jobs and writing his first resume. I’m really proud of him. He’ll start applying tomorrow.

I made some progress on the pig today. I cleaned out the throttle body. I remembered my old Cherokee would start to rough idle when it got dirty. It is the first thing I tried that has made I difference. I ordered an air idle control motor that I hope solves the problem for good. I want to have jacob get the rest of his hours soon. So if I can get it running smoothly, I’ll need to order tires. Luckily, tires fit that thing are affordable. A set of four costs about $75 less than one Jeep tire, or about $18 less than one tire for mom’s car.

Mom’s happily working on her school stuff on the night before the last day of school. She’s going to be lost this summer.

I hope you’re temple duties have gone well for you this week. We pray for you and your companion and those you teach.

I really love you Ben, please remember that.
