wow, i can't belive it's deer hunting season allready. wow is time flying by. were now in what's called suit season, so we wear them everyday, for the most part. we can remove them if it gets over 70 degrees. so it okay. we take them off within an hour of going out in the morning. well so far i haven't done to much. our first sunday they asked us to each give a short talk and then last sunday elder brockman gave the lesson in priesthood. so that went very well. oh yes and quess what our furnace is like. basically we flip a switch and oil will fill up and then we light it with a piece of paper. it gets pretty toasty in there but it's still good. that doesn't sound to fun, there but it might get better. so the big news for this week is, we have a stake confernce on sunday, and Elder Quentin L. Cook is coming. Boyd K. Packer is going to another one though, but it's still exciting. well i bought myself some porkchops this week and i cooked them. they turned out allright. so i cooked my first porkchop. then friday we were out tracting and we had a phone call from the brnach president wife, sis. gruber. she had a referal for us. it's a cool story. his name is chuck. he just moved into surry and was going through a rough time. the first box he unpacked had a book of mormon in it. he recieved a year ago and he started reading. he starting cross referncing it between the bible and saw other referances from the D&c and covenats and pearl of great price so he found pres. gruber's phone number anc called seeing if he could get them. so we talked with him for an hour and he's intersted in the lesson's. so that's pretty exciting. then on monday we are starting up a joint family home evening. it went very well. elder brockman loves to cook and made this taco soup. it was very good. i'm going to ask him for the recipe. this week has had it's up and downs. but it's been a pretty good week. this area is defiantely challenging i will give it that. but it's very fun fun here. belive it or not there are 14 chuches in the town of wakefield alone. and it's smaller than blanding. it crazy. well that's it for this week. talk with you later.
