Hello mom!
   Glad to see that they got you on some medication, that sounds rough! And i see they had a Branch fish fry, that is nice! Wow! They are doing great in quiz bowl then huh? That is awesome! How is the weather in Arkansas right now? 

Hi! Lots of miracles this week!
On Wednesday my companion ad trainer, Elder Clark, headed on home. Transfer meeting was amazing, the spirit was so so strong. Elder Clark had a rough time finishing a song they were singing because he was tearing up. President Cook gave some amazing remarks and we all felt the spirit very strong. This mission is awesome. It was an awesome transfer meeting.  My new companion is Elder Bunker who has only been out just under 5 months. He is awesome! He is very accountable, has lots of strengths as Elder Clark did, is a hard worker, and is focused. We are enjoying the work here! On Thursday night we had an awesome lesson with a family who are returning Less Actives and more. We talked about the Melchizedek priesthood and we brought Pres. Snell with us. He talked about how both the man and the woman receive the benefits and blessing of the priesthood when it comes to raising there daughter and bringing her into this life. He mentioned how (in a round about way) the daughter needed both the man and the woman and both roles are important rather than just the  mans because he has the priesthood. He said that the woman carried her daughter and bore her into this world. And what a blessing that was for their family. And then how her father helped her to be re-born into another world( he baptized her.) Without the woman she wouldn't be here and without the man she couldn't be reborn into the kingdom of God. Both are divine roles. Missionary work is the best!  I am assuming the age change will bring alot of new missionaries in soon!
    We also saw alot of miracles this week. Today, I will be going on exchanges with Elder Thompson from Idaho. Yes, that was on purpose. Actually it might not have been. Elder Thompson and Elder Thompson. On Wednesday we have cleaning inspections for our apartments, so we need to get scrubbing! I love the people here they are awesome. 
And mom, Thanks for the CD'S!
