Zone conference was kinda pointless, but we got to meet the new president. I
like him a lot he’s super organized and it seems like it’s going to be really
good. He’s from Colorado and was an electrical engineer who designed computers
for HP. I saw your friend’s son at zone conference and some kid that I knew
from school. Other than myself I think there are only 2 other missionaries from
my MTC district in the new mission. I haven't heard anything about transfers, I
doubt I will because I’m still training. Hey next package could you send me one
of those consecrated oil keychain things, I realized I don't have one. All my
companions have had one so it hasn't been a big deal but I figure I should have
one. Yes thank you for the treats, I love sweets so much! This week was way
slow because we had like 3 meetings this week. But other than that I had a good
4th of July. Our president told us not to proselyte, but to spend time with
members. So we spent all day eating and having fun. I had the best steak ever
for dinner and it was wrapped in a ton of bacon, it was so good! We were
helping someone move this morning and it was a nice sunny day and we were on
our way to drop off a load at a storage unit when out of no where the most
torrential downpour you have ever seen happens. Like more rain than Arizona
gets in a year in a matter of 30 min. then it stops and it went back to being
hot sunny and now more humid, this state is weird. I will never complain
about rain again and I don't know why anyone would want to live here you can
barely do anything. Coming back from Virginia we had to pull over because
it was raining so hard you couldn't see the front of the car! I was glad I
wasn't driving. It’s been a good week though, it’s always fun when you get to
be around other missionaries a lot. I like it a lot more now because there’s no
one to do anything with on preparation day here in Clayton. But things are going
well, the ward is fired up from the broadcast and is really wanting to find the
inactives in the ward, so it’s going to keep us busy. Well have fun in Idaho,
love ya.

I really don't know why my email didn't send last week, it’s
one of the longer ones too. Well it sounds like you are having fun in Idaho. This
week was super slow. It has rained so much. The ward I’m serving in is great
about having people go with us to teach so we don't have to cancel everything. We
have been busy though, the ward wants to know about every inactive member on
the roster so we are helping them meet everyone and get to know the ward. It’s
been keeping us busy so that's really good. Things are going good, I’ve changed
how I do my studies in the morning and I feel like I’ve learned so much more. It’s
interesting to re-read things over and over and see how different your
perspective is depending on what’s going on in your life. It’s interesting to
me as well how the spirit works. I can’t tell you the number of times I’ll be
out talking to people or teaching a lesson and I’ll remember a scripture I read
that morning and it applies perfectly to what is going on. Well I don't know
what else to say so hopefully it won’t rain this week so I can tell ya more
next week. Love ya.
