As for the packages, they usually take about 9 days from Utah, and around 2 weeks from you, I think. Before I forget though, the pictures you sent me over email don't work (most of them) and they filled up my mailbox, so I think it'd be better If you just sent them in packages or letters. But I think the cookies should be ok, the ones from Dear Elder were fine.As for me I'm doing good, and yes I am eating enough veggies, mom -_- My companion and I gave talks yesterday on 'Let your words stand to edify one another.' We actually asked to give talks because we talked to a man who said he'd come to church if we were speaking. Turns out he couldn't come. So we got to talk anyways, it went well. We got the usual "O, wonderful talk!" comments. Goerge is doing AWESOME! His wife and him have been reading the Book of Mormon EVERY DAY for the last couple weeks. Theyre now in Jacob. He even said hes going to give up smoking and started this week. Hes so close to being baptized, his wife is so excited. Shes been waiting 17 years for this afterall.Everything is going good with Norman. We just taught him the second lesson (Plan of Salvation) and he understood and believed everything. He said since he went to church 2 weeks ago his life has just been getting better, and cited a few examples. He said he likes how he feels when we're teaching him and likes how we have answers to questions hes had (hes tried every other church under the sun). I'm really excited for him.Well, hope you have a good couple weeks of vacation and stay cool :) Love Elder Julian
