dad,

the weeks go by very fast(sometimes) i hit 3 months on wednesday! and this transfer is already half over! well i have done hard manual labor too. we have redone 2 roofs. and laid sod twice, and have moved two families! its nice to get out of the suit everyonce in awhile. i have learned how important the members really are when it comes to missionary work.  i have yet to share a lesson when we go tracting. and we go about 3 times a week when we have nothing to do. but when the members invite their friends we always get at least one lesson with them. every member a missionary. and we dont have to be out knocking doors to do missionary work. a lot of the time its our example that gets people asking questions and thats when we need to take the opportunity to share the gospel and what we know to be true. we had a really good week. we taught 19 lessons this week. and we taught gospel principles yesterday and it went really well. one of our investigators who comes every week with her husband (he is a member) finally admitted that she has a desire to quit smoking. and hopefully we can help her find the answer she wants. nothing much is really happening here. it was rainy and cold the past couple of days and it is today. we are going to cranbrook today for zone pday and special training tonight. it should be fun. tell mom thanks sending the package and tanner and emily for the cookies.  hope all is well

love
