Week 31

l-r: Elder Baker, Elder Epps, Elder Waller after dinner in the Ballard home.

Hey all!

It has been quite a strange week. Not nearly as many lessons as we have had before. Although, now we get to know the members a lot better than we used to which will strengthen those wards and members and result in more work for us. Hooray!

Thanks for the package. The dinosaurs are set up and the candy...set aside. If I could request something, please don't send anymore candy. I still have some left from...I can't remember when, probably thanksgiving. I'm not a squirrel! (Referring to the days when we got dad all those nuts for his birthday. He called himself a squirrel.) I like the card a bunch! Very clever.

At the Draper Temple dedication I was able to meet Uncle Dwaine's new missionary trainer. Rick Brown was his name. He says hi to Uncle Dwaine and that he is doing well. Of all things...it is snowing here! A couple days ago, the wind was crazy! I thought it was a day of Pentecost or something.

About the PS3, I don't think the same way I used to and was honestly thinking about most everything but the games. I was thinking about the all-in-one package.

Is Ryan Neale doing all right? Yeah I know him, he's one of my friends. You have a picture of him. Blonde hair, glasses, I think a long-sleeved button up blue-striped shirt. I wish they would send me something, just letting me know how they are doing. Steven is the only one that has contacted me, or at least the only one I have received. I think of them all quite often and wonder what is going on.

Anyways, the week is still going. Haha! Now that I have a little pirate attitude (from the card) I think searching for the treasure (scriptural truths and investigators) will be much easier.

Yo Ho! Yo Ho! A Missionary's Life For Me!

Elder Austin Waller

It is Austin's birthday on Wednesday. We purchased a pirate themed card then emblished it. We also created a dinosaur activity...leading into a missionary theme of course. mom and dad
