1/6/14

Sounds like everyone is doing well and enjoyed the break!  That's good to hear!  I'm doing very well, in fact, I'm doing awesome!  I got transferred to the Richmond West Zone and on bikes again with my new companion, Elder Skinner.  He is the District leader!  He is also from Hermiston, Oregon and actually knows where Moses Lake is, he's been there!  He has been out on his mission for 19 months now and I'm hoping I'll be the one to kill him off (in mission terms, ha ha).  We're doing great!  Oh, so my new address is:

1757  Charles St.
Richmond, VA  23226

Glad you were able to get the pictures that I sent.  Were you able to open them up yet?  It is pretty cold over here on bikes but we've been staying warm.  Maybe having a black beanie would help as we ride.  Elder Skinner has given me another one of his ski masks to use but it's not always THAT cold.  Usually after the sun goes down it is though.  It's supposed to be pretty bad tonight but we will be fine. :)

So, I'm still getting to know the area, but the ward seems pretty solid!  They're awesome and great!  Our ward mission leader is from Albania and was baptized when he was 18 then served a mission!  He's pretty cool!  We have a great investigator right now who had her interview for baptism last Saturday.  We resolved all of her concerns that she had but yesterday she texted us saying that if church was going to stay at 9:30 then she shouldn't be baptized.  She had been working a nightshift job and was recently let go so the schedule is throwing her off.  I don't know, it's just kind of frustrating and sad.  We are still working with her though.  She needs to have a testimony of the Book of Mormon strengthened and it will as she continues to read it.  Please pray for her.

I love you all!

-Elder Austin Mounts
