Luke, way to go on your promotion ceremony and performance!  I'm excited for Dallin (Candland)!  That is so awesome (his mission farewell)!  You'll have to send me pictures of the garden!  I'm looking forward to seeing it!  BTW, grandma (Mounts) sent me a letter!  Tell her I thoroughly enjoy the quotes she sends me and that I truly feel the spirit when I read her letters.  They make me feel good! I love it out here!

I took pictures of the recipe's so I can write them down, thanks!  My clothes are doing just great, lol!  It's weird, church clothes are so much more comfortable than regular clothing! 

Elder Bird and I are doing just great!  However, Elder Bird did get sick this week, Friday, with the flu.  It was pretty bad.  I have yet to be affected by it...Waiting for him to get better has been really boring, all I can do is study, which is awesome!  I can only study for a couple of hours though and then I get tired so I sleep again.  Sickness is not fun for either companion, just saying.

We visited with a lot of less actives this week, not too many investigators though.  But there are enough members here to become a ward.  There are just a TON of less actives.  It's very saddening because they don't have that sure foundation in Christ so when temptations come they fall. :/  We visited with a less active couple in their 60's, both converts, the wife was Methodist and the husband was Baptist.  She just started going back to the ward in Hopewell but he is still like a full on Baptist.  He holds firm to John 3:16 and only that scripture.  He doesn't believe in authority and that all baptism is valid as long as you have faith.  While I was listening to the wife talk, Elder Bird kind of bible bashed with him, well, the husband wanted to but Elder Bird and I were full of the Spirit because we visited them because we care about them.  We trusted in our Heavenly Father and the Spirit!  Elder Bird confounded him with everything thrown at him and we were bold but loving.  It was awesome!  I love the Spirit! 

Love Elder Mounts
