Hey mom ! This week went really good I really like my new area and my companion. He is from Virginia and he is way chill ! He knows how to work hard and have fun and he's only been out about 3 months.  The members here are great and the work here is awesome ! There's lots of work to be done and I know this is where God needs me to be.  The recent converts here are amazing.  I was talking to one of them and she said the last missionaries gave her a Book of Mormon and they told her to just read the first page and so she did and then she said "she couldn't put the book down" and she read it twice and was baptized two weeks later ! She is now in the relief society presidency and has a strong testimony of it.  The area here is really flat and its only about 3000 people so we are back on the bikes and walking (even tho we have a car) but it feels great to be working hard and being outside all the time. It snowed on us on Thursday and it go a little chilly so we took the car out most of the day.  We found two new investigators and another one this morning !  Today were headed out to Winnimucca for groceries and to meet the zone so I'm looking forward to that.  I'm looking forward to  conference this weekend and we also have interviews with the mission President that day as well so it'll be a busy week for us ! Anyways thanks for all you do mom and I'll look up those pictures ! have a great week ! love you mom !

Hey mom ! Sounds like it's been a good week and the wedding went well.  I'm getting shipped off to

 Battle Mountain, Nevada, I will go wherever the lord needs me to go !

 It's been good serving here in Elko and getting to see all the miracles I did and it's going to be hard

 leaving here but time for a new adventure in the mission and more miracles to come ! So this last

 week went really good we did a lot of service for people and I dug a ditch and hauled gravel for 

some members in the ward and we helped a lady move on Saturday for 5 hours and I was hurting 

at the end of it because she had super old heavy antiques and it was up 3 flights of stairs but we 

got it done.  My health is doing alright and the smoke hasn't been bothering me.  Anyways thanks 

for all you do mom and I'll send you my new address next week.  Love you mom !

Hey mom !  This week went really well. Thank you so much for the letter ! I'm definitely learning a lot from this area and training a new missionary and it's been going good ! I had a way better week than the week before and we did a lot of service this week.  We went out to the Indian Reservation and split wood for a while and it's pretty fun being out there with the Native Indians and they all have some interesting stories to tell. But we're going to start going out there more because they are more receptive people out there.   I don't have too many pictures for this last week but things are going great and today me and my companion are going golfing with our investigator so I'm pumped for that.  Anyways, I'll write you some more this week in a letter but thanks for all you do mom ! love ya
