i cant believe it is already St Patricks Day, time goes by too fast sometimes. how has the week been going for everyone so far? anything new been happening besides the things that you mentioned. things have been going ok for me, definitely not the best week in the mission field haha but everything is good and we're stilll plugging right along...
so yup i got a new companion obviously haha because my last companion ended his mission. but this one's name is Elder Woollard, he is from Payson Utah which is just south of Spanish Fork. so i'll kind of give you a little background about him without talking about too much. so y'all remember my companion Elder Krawczyk? like the coolest companion ever! haha well anyways Elder Woollard came out at the same time as him and that MTC group but he went home after being out 2 months because he had some things that he needed to clear up so he went home and got that taken care of. he is a great guy and has a strong testimony of the atonement so i have a feeling that this transfer will work out to be a great one! we have been doing lots of tracting and when i say lots of tracting i mean it like 6 hours on monday and 5 1/2 yesterday. it was pretty funny yesterday we were out tracting and we saw these black kids playing football and a couple of them were members so i was like alright we gotta show these kids up, haha so we set our stuff down for a bit and played with them, it was definitely a blast just having a good time playing a little bit of football. this past week we have actually gotten quite a few potential investigators, people that have invited us back so i pray that something good will come of it. although tracting isn't my most favorite thing to do i know that as we continue to tract the Lord will provide people by guiding us in the way he would have us go. we are going over to the Paula families house on Thursday, we still haven't taught them because she wants the whole family to be there and with all the kids they have there always running differend places, so we hope it will go through tomorrow. everything else has been going well, i did get the package with the white shirts, thank you! :) i'm wearing one right now! haha

so Elder Woollard didn't have a bike, and so we borrowed the same one Elder Harmon borrowed from a member and then the stinkin chain busted on it again but i fixed it once and then like 2 days later the connecting links fell off and we found one of them and it was bent really bad like as if one of the teeth were bent and kept pulling on it or something. so we are on foot again! but there is a member that is looking on craigs list for him and he will just buy one off of there. so hopefully he'll get a bike soon! my legs and feet and back kill from walking all the time!

Elder Allred says hi! haha we are emailing here with them at the library today, so i gotta get going. we are going to go throw the football around here in a bit so yeah. thank you so much for the email and the letters.

i miss you so much and i love you all! take care and i hope that things continue to go well for you!!!

love Randy
