Hello Everyone

This week went ok nothing too exciting happened last week. Although today we had interviews with President Keyes and they went great. President told me how proud he is of me and how much I have grown since he first met me and that was nice to hear.

The ward is pretty cool some of the members are in the Air Force and the ward mission leader is in the Air Force and his name is Bro. Stark. I thought it was kind of funny. The bishop is really awesome. We meet with him almost every Monday morning to talk about how things are going and what the ward can do to help and yesterday he asked us what the ward can do to help increase our teaching pool and I mentioned something that my last area did. It was to have the members think of five names of friends or family, write them on a 3X5 note card and pray for them and to pray to help them to have a missionary opportunity with them every morning and night and the bishop really liked the idea and told us to talk to our WML and we could use this month first presidency talk to introduce it so we’ll see what happens.

Elder Shurtz and I are getting along great last night after planning and stuff we had some of this Styrofoam paper stuff and we decided to make airplanes out of it and that was pretty fun. His broke because it flew into the ceiling then the wall and then snapped in half but mine has managed to survive and a couple of nights before that we were a little hungry and we have this cool grill thing on our stove so we roasted hotdogs over it so we have been lots of fun together and working hard too I guess :P.

Well that’s all for this week, write you all next week.
