yeah, as you can tell were getting rain today. it's cooled off a bit now and getting cold again. i've heard febuary is really like that here. i loved the pitcures from last week i just wasn't able to print them off, i didn't have change on me but that's fine. just so you don't worry, my shoulder is fine now. still not sure what i did to it but it's fine, unfornately we think we got that flu bug going around. we had zone confernce yesterday and we were both sick during it, and when we got back we both just went to bed. but were doing better today so thats good. i'm glad that things are improving with Grace. sounds like she's already growing up. well tell Jamie congradulation on her new girl. yeah, i hadn't heard that at all. well i had a pretty odd week and werid at times. friday we had a pretty fun district mtg and as we were heading up there, the memebr who was giving us a ride up there, bro. henry saw an amublence and a police car at another's memebrs house. she is pregnant and it's going to be her first child, she keeps getting panic attacks and so we stopped by to see if there was anything we could do. we gave her a blessing and it really helped her out. it was awesome. they should of known what sex it is by now, but everytime they try the ultrasound, the baby looks right at it so they can't. i kind of think it funny. then i went on exchanges with an elder horsley. we had a good time had some pretty good lessons. he's from reno, neveda. then on sunday we visited some members that are less active because of health. i have a pretty funny story there involving ther cat. they have this one cat that is very fat. but it is very freindly as well. at one point bro. gibbs said, if your ever in the area come over and we'll feed you. at the time the cat was purring very loud and then he said, we've been fattening the cat for ya. the cat instantly stopped, turned at looked at him, and then he turned and looked at me and the expression on his face was your not going to eat me right. we all started laughing, it was pretty funny. then zone confernce yesterday was really powerful, it was amazing. i learned alot there. well the people i told you about last week, one of them got sick, and the rest we keep missing them. so it's been a little aggravating. well I hope that everything keeps going well. i'll continue keep grace in my prayers. well take care

hey everyone. thanks for the pitcures you sent me. i really apprecatied it. she defiantly is looking pretty good. things have been good on this end we had some really good things happen the last few days. oh yes, i heard the elder scott was out in viginia not to long ago. he was there for there stake confernce. he also held a special class for all new members and elder Salisbury had several recent converts meet him. we both thought that was exciting. unfornatley we wished we were serving over there because elder scott went to the zone confernce there for the missionaries there. so we were kind of bummed when we heard that. I can't remember if i told you about one of our new investigators. her name is chelsea. she is a foster child whom the Terri's have taken in. she is right now loving the church and is undertsnading alot of waht we teach her. then we had another really awesome lesson with someone named william Vaughn. he's an older man and he is very freindly and last monday we watched the restoration with him. he loved it, he really felt the spirit it was really powerful. were really getting excited with him, and we also met this new lady yesterday. we met her husband a while back whose from Guatemala. he wanted a spanish book of mormon and we kind of forgot about him. so yesterday we decided to go back. we talked to his wife and found out he had to go back to guatemala because his visa expired while they were trying to get him to be a us citizen. and found out he was more intersted than we thought. so she is going to ship him it. so it was a big testimony booster. last week we were having a rough week and so far we had a good one, but we know it's the Lord why things are happening that way so were very thankful. i don't really know to much more to say right now. but some more good news it's been in the seventies lately. so it's no longer the wet cold. but it's fine. well it's fine that you didn't send me a package. i'm fine with just having the pitcures. well take care. i'm glad things are going well on that end. keep up the good work.

hey everyonethis week has been intersting. i heard that the steelers won, but i heard it was good game though. i was kind of rooting for the cardinals. i also heard they had a transformers two preview on. elder salisbury was going mad when he heard about it. he's a big transormers fan. oh, by the way how did woods cross football team do. so to answer your question about the lightsaber thing. a missionary named elder green, who is from bountiful, showed me that. you can use some colored pencil lead. yeah, i had fun with it with elder meyers. i'm glad that things keep going well with Grace. I'm glad that things are improving and going well. well i hope that the martins feel better soon, my companion once a week gets sick it seems like. but he's usually able to sleep it off so we can go out, so that makes it a better day. i alos hurt my shoulder this week. it's doing fine now, just every now and then i strain it a bit and get sore again. at first it wasn't bad, i just joked with people i was having sympathy pains. because my companion shoulder was hurt, but friday night it got really bad and had to take imbrufen. it's more my shoulder blade that's sore. but it's doing much better now.
oh yes, i haven't cahsed the check yet, i keep forgetting about it, but i will soon, so don't worry. other than that everything has been going fairly well. now for the other news for the week.
oh yes, we got pulled over at one point because our inpsection stickers were expired. oops. so we got that taken care of and then realized we were behind on getting an oil change, o that was intersting. but everything good there now. one day this week we had a pretty cool experince, we went to some partments to go tracting we get there and is practically no cars there only like fifeteen at the most. so we stopand said a quick prayer and that's when elder salisbury noticed that one was a moving van. so we went over and helped them out and were going to be headed back there tomorrow, that was a very neat experience.
well not much else i know of to say right now. but things are oing very well here. i'm glad to that's things are doing a little bit better down there. i can't belive spencer been out almost six months. i'm struggling to belive i'm getting close to a year. man times flies.well take care.
