Sounds like a fun week!  I'm glad to hear that everyone is doing great and that Uncle Todd is recovering quickly!  Glad you liked the voice recordings!  I'm sorry I didn't get around to any this week, it totally slipped my mind :/  I'll be sure to write it down as a must do this week so I remember to do it!  Pictures are so hard to send on the computer.  The lds missionary email will only let you send like 25 megabites of memory at a time so it takes FOREVER!  It's really rather frustrating, if it was a different email and the computers had iPhoto I could do it all in seconds!  Maybe I'll just send the SD card in a letter or something?  Our investigators are really...interesting lol!  It's Virginia, everyone is unique.  Arthur as I told you still is a kid and looks like a giant kid, I'll have to get a picture with him sometime, at his baptism, once he comes to know that the LDS church is the ONLY church with the proper priesthood authority from God and His son Jesus Christ!  Our other investigator, Barb, owns like 10 horses, and is currently residing at a ranch.  She will probably be moving soon, but it's beautiful out there and yesterday we went out with her to see the horses in their natural habitat, 12 horses in a herd.  They just roam the many acres of land and it's so cool!  They're very people friendly and we might be able to ride a few soon!  I'll be sending pictures and maybe video for sure!

I still have my bike!  That thing is going to be lasting me for a LONG time.  It's not going to waste.  Oh, my noise makers?  Yeah, they don't make noise, they just blow up.  I blew them all once then threw them away during a deep clean.  I just didn't really have any use for them, sorry.  No dogs running after us yet but the dogs I have met are super cool and people friendly! 

Yes, Elder Bird and I did write the lyrics for the song I sent you.  However, we are still not done.  Hopefully, we will be companions again!

Can you please get me Daniel's email? 

The most inspirational moment this week?  Probably when we were doing our best to teach Arthur about Priesthood Authority, even though it was like trying to teach a little kid, and you really had to have patience with him, the Spirit was there.  We were guided in what to say and we believed we did our best in teaching by the Spirit.  It was pretty great! 

Love Y'all!  Till next week!
