Hey fam,


Thanks for the packages Mom, they were awesome! The brownies took 6 days to get here and they were really good (companion agreed) and plenty moist. .....

Well this week went by really fast. Elder Lor went to Madison to open up the Hmong work there with Elder Vaughn (a missionary who came out with me). My new companion is Elder Saunders. He's been in the field for a little over 3 months and now has to take over the Hmong work here. Let's just say his Hmong speaking skills are going to sky rocket soon, as we have mostly Hmong investigators. So far he's done good. He's from Gilbert, Utah (don't know where that is, maybe Mom does) a pretty small town aparently. Wierd thing is one of the members who recently moved into the ward used to live there and go to his ward.

Investigators are going good, except Michael and Shannon dogged (dogged - To go to a set appointment and find that no one is home) us on Sat night after we even got a member to go with us. We would like to find more investigators, but that will come with time and hard work. We saw the ZLs gators, Morris and Sarah the other day and had a really good restoration lesson with them. It was more of a discussion (which is what we aim for) on why our Church is the only church led by Christ, why we need commandments, where the B of M comes from, etc. It went really good and I think they are going to investigate a little more seriously now.

O ya, so guess who the new ZL is? ELDER STRIBLING! Ya I was pretty excited too. After spending a transfer with my son (Son - A missionary who one trains) I gave up for adoption (Adoption - giving your boy (see 'boy' in missionary dictionary) to another missionary to train because of circumstances preventing one from training them (eg. because neither of you can drive)), Elder Huffman, he has now been called as GBZ ZL. So this should be a fun transfer. We went to a really cool dinner appointment with them last night, mmmm Hmong sausages.

Ok times up, thanks again for the great packages and pictures, have an amazing week!

Love
