Missionaries can still have fun!

Dear Mom,

Yeah i got all the packages! thank you so much, the tree was awesome it is sitting in the apartment right now. The 12 days are going well, not to far in yet! I am glad that grandma and grandpa got the letter that is awesome! I sure hope that it made their day a little better.

Yeah we always try to visit less actives, if only most of them weren't a half hour to a hour away! haha our area is huge, we try the best though. About the primary class, i would think it would be better to have a recent convert... but i am not sure if there is even any recent converts in rexburg... so probably missionaries.

I am doing well, just working hard, talking to everyone that i see, I Always talk to everyone, walking down the street, on the bus, in walmart, wherever the Lord puts people in my path. We are still trying to figure out the whole skyping thing, we are working with the bishop. So i will let you know. District Leader is good. We have a lot of extra meetings, leadership meetings. And i have to teach at district meeting like 2 or 3 times a month, so lots of work. I also have to call my District as well as the Zone Leaders and tell them about everyones day, so i dont get to go to sleep on time most of the time.

His name is Wes Medial! He is so awesome, we are good friends. He just got off his mission in July when i came out. He is so cool and we hangout at church. So yeah, he randomly asked for your number so i am not sure what he did with it.

Well i am glad that Dad ran into Gary, that is always good to hear from them. I hope they are doing well.

This week Elder Brich (other Oxford Elder) and I decided that since we were bored that we would light a tennis ball on fire and throw it around! It was awesome! haha. Just shows you that you still can have fun on a mission that is for sure!

Well i hope all is well! Thanks so much for everything. Love yall! I will let you know about everything soon!
