Thing's are going well for me here in Paonia this past week since i last emailed has been good. thank you so much for keeping in such good contact with me, it means a lot to me.
i cant believe that it is this time of year already haha it seems like not too long ago that i was back home and here it is a year later. that is too funny that i noticed you painted the living room haha it is going to be so weird when i get home and notice all the litle things that y'all have done and i haven't heard about. and too see how much everyone has grown up or out! lol like me! :(
so as for my week we found out later that night after i last emailed that Brian Peterson and his family are back together and we went over there and visited with them and things seem to be going really well so i think we will start going back over there on a regular bases. we had a couple come to church that a member invited and they seem really interested, we have been in contact with them and they said that they will be back next week, the only thing that stinks is i think they live outside of our ward boundries so if we were to start teaching them i think we would have to turn them over to some other missionaries. we will hopefully have our first appointment with Mary-Ann tomorrow, that is if it goes through. she told us that she is feeling better so i pray that things work out. yesterday we had Zone Confrence down in Montrose and i enjoyed it there were good trainings but the part that i loved the most and normally do love the most about Zone Confrence's is that we get to have an interview with President Christison, he is such a great guy and i enjoy every moment i get to talk with him, he gave me some insight on things. we found out that his son Mason is leaving on the 27th of January so they are excited about that. President leaves the 1st of July so his days are numbered... it will be so weird to get a new mission President and have to adjust to him.
but anyways i just continue to take each day as it comes and really enjoy the blessings i do have. transfers are on the 28th and i pray (as well as should all of you LOL) that i stay in this area at least one more transfer it is great here. thank you for all that you do i can never thank you enough, i'm grateful for all of you and the role's you have and do play in my life! i miss you and love you bunches!

Love Randy
