Tyler called Saturday afternoon to set a time to call on Sunday. So we got to visit for a few minutes on Saturday. He then called on Sunday @ 5:30 p.m. He is in a foursome and they were all over at a member's home calling their families. We put the phone on speaker so Mutti, David, and I could all talk and listen and Tyler would not have to repeat himself. We could hear all the other Elder's in the background.
Tyler is doing really well and we were able to talk for an hour, which was really nice. Paterson is a poor area of New Jersey and they have gotten pretty familiar with the drug scene there. July will be his year mark which is coming up really fast.
I asked if he needed anything, although it sounds like they are not eating very well. He said that eat cereal and top ramen soup or sometimes nothing and call it a meal. He said they did not have funds to buy a lot of food but did say they had two bags of chicken in the freezer. He said he was the only one that knew how to cook it. He said he was going to wait for his birthday but could I get him the Doctrine & Covenants DVD because they wanted to use it in their teaching. So the next day I ran to the Distribution Center. It was $4.50 - I started laughing. He was saving that for his birthday? Anyway, I got it mailed off Monday along with some treats. I guess I need to be better about sending packages.
