Hey family,




Glad to hear you're ok. We didn't hear much about the earthquake, just that it was big and a couple of people were killed of the coast of CA.

Yep, Mike's baptism went well and so did his confirmation. He is now a fully-fledged member. We've already talked to him about the priesthood and he is going to start meeting with Bishop so he can get it in the next couple of weeks, right as I'm leaving.  From the secret zone leader itinerary it says I'm going to be in the Madison zone. Its one of the only 2 zones I haven't served in yet, so I'm pretty excited about it. I've also been called to be a district leader now. I'm really glad about that for a couple reasons; I don't have as much responsibilty (gets old after a while with all the meetings and such) and I get to do trainings and other DL stuff. So there really aren't a lot of reasons, but its something new, so I'm happy. Elder Warr is going to get one of the Milwaukee North ZLs and Elder Saunders is training ANOTHER new missionary (poor guy).

O, very important, before I forget. I have 2 large packages I'm sending to Nanny and Papas full of random papers and baptism programs and planners and stuff. If you could tell them not to open them until I get there and that I'll just sort out all the stuff myself that would be great. Also tell them THANK YOU!

Thanks for the prayers, they're helping of course. We found a lot of potentials in miraculous ways. Now it's just a matter of Elder Warr and his new comp teaching them all. 2 part member family's records have very recently popped out of nowhere even though they have been living here for 2 years and 9 years. Both of those families (including the non-member parts) are willing to take the lessons. So thank you for the prayers.

Well the parking meter has about 5 min left so we gotta go. Have a great week.

Love
