Ah, Bryce is awesome for taking Daniel!  Looks like he got my letter then!  You need to keep your testimony strong and keep it full like my companion Elder Bird came up with!  Keep filling up our buckets because there's that hole in the bottom and it's gotta stay full if we are to stay strong in the church! 

Thanks for the exercise program by the way!  It will come in handy with our crazy weight set that's more like a gym!!!  I forgot to get my camera cord this time but I will have even more pictures for next P-day!!!  I still haven't received your package yet from the mission home :/  I am REALLY looking forward to it!!! Yeah, that would be great if you could get me Daniel's address!  I would love to write him!!!  I heard about Eli!  I actually looked through the papers lol.  I'm sad though because that probably means we aren't going to be in the same mission :(  Elder Bird, my companion is from Salmon, Idaho!  He totally reminds me of Cody Morrow!!!  Having him as a trainer is a true blessing!  He really teaches by the Spirit!

We've got one investigator named Ruby.  She is so awesome and funny!  She's in her 60's, a nice black lady!  I'm still in a bit of a culture shock over here!  So many black people!  They're cool!  Also tracted my first day!  We may have another investigator because of it!  We will see, we are meeting with her again this week!  We did run into a Baptist lady and that was very interesting... Many different sects here.  She was nice though! 

Wakefield is probably the most rural place in the mission.  The Branch is super small!  I also gave yet another talk this past Sunday!  I based it off of Richard G. Scott's talk on prayer!  I felt it was very good because I could feel the Spirit!  Elder Bird gave a great talk too, on the Gospel of Christ!  Spirit again! 

It's super beautiful out here!  It's like Moses Lake and Carnation combined except more of Carnation and just country for Moses Lake, ha ha!  I love it!  I'll show you picture next week, I promise!!

Luke, Alex, congrats again on making Chamber Choir and Jazz Drummer!  I'll talk to you all again and soon!  I'm almost out of time!  I LOVE YOU ALL!!!
