Hey

Well dad, no it’s not that cold here, it’s actually starting to heat up. I don’t need to wear my beanie anymore while I’m asleep. But there are still cold days.

It sounds like things are going well. I’m glad to hear that CJ is dominating and doing his thing. Tell him that I said ‘atta boy’, but to stay humble and not get a big head. I can remember the tournaments I played in, they are always tough. I never was a big fan of the Cactus Shadows tourney that we always did during winter break. There were always like outstandingly good teams and it was tough to see how we would match up with a 5a school.

The work is going well, a bit of sadness this last week. We had a lady and her son ready for their baptism, and they were excited. But then this last week they starting acting really weird. Not answering the door when we came. Just weird stuff, telling us to come back, and then when we would return they wouldn’t be there or wouldn’t answer the door. We went on divisions with the Zone Leaders, and my comp and one of them stayed in our area to try and find this lady and her son, while I went to Tulansingo to work in the other area with the other zone leader. They found them a couple of times but basically the same things happened. We started divisions on Thursday but I got back to my area Saturday. so I wanted to talk to this lady and just get an upfront answer, so we went there but she wouldn’t come out of the house. Only her son. She sent a note out with her son that said basically that her husband chewed her out for wanting to get baptized. So we wrote her a note and just told her that she just needed to tell us that so that we don’t waste time trying to contact them, and that she needs to put an example for her kids, because she’s teaching them to be dishonest. I was a bit frustrated at her. I’m not sure if her husband really chewed her out or if she’s just saying that. But we have to trust her.

Sounds like things are going well, I’m glad to hear about all the things that are going on, especially about Lynette. I can’t believe that she’s pregnant again. haha, another one that I won’t know until June of 2010.haha

I don’t think that transfers will affect me. I haven’t heard anything, but sometimes that’s when you have them, when no one is saying anything.

Tell CJ I love him and that I wish him the best.

Love

Elder Howard
