Well everyting or anything that i thought would happen didn't happen! lol i thought for sure i was going to leave the area or that Elder Woollard would leave but we are both staying here in the area for another transfer! :) ha I'm not sad or anything like this is what i wanted and what i have been praying for so it will be nice! that means that the next transfer i should be gone, not saying i will be but i bet i will. the next transfer is also only 4 days before Karie and John have the baby, well Karie has it ha but you know what i mean.

This last Sunday the Bishop gave the 5th Sunday lesson in a combined class and he talked about missionary work and he said that we have two of the best missionaries we've had in this ward with us right now so we need to make sure that we are inviting our friends to be taught by them. i dont know what it is but i always love hearing things like that from members or the ward. i mean i dont have a big head thinking that i'm the best but it sure helps me want to try harder so they will invite their friends to be taught.

President Christison leaves in like 29 days so everyone is trying to get things ready for the new mission President to come in so he can just pick up and continue to have things rolling because i guess when President Christison came into the mission it was in a slump and it took him 6 months to get it up and going so he is doing all that he can to make it easy on the new mission President. i'm going to miss him so much,

i'll let you know as i find out. this past week has been kind of blah it has been really hot and humid so when we are out all day i get really sweaty and gross ha i dont like it! the only plus is that it's helpin me lose weight faster.

oh we did start teaching this one couple that wants to be baptized they have 5 kids and aren't married yet, they just thought they didn't need to i guess but they told us that they want to get married so they can be baptized, i dont know how soon we will be able to get all of that done but at least we have started and i know the Lord will provide a way to have it all get done in a timely manner.

we still go over to the Gaus family and the Paula families home once a week just to continue to try and keep them going strong. they are all such great families.

On monday for Memorial Day we went to 2 barbeques! :) ha it was so good, i miss barbequeing food! the members treat us so well here i love it. we haven't had any opportunities to give service work any time recent which kind of stinks but i'm sure something will pop up.

it is so great being a missionary not having to worry about anything besides trying to help other people whether it's sharing the Gospel with them or helping them with whatever they need help with. you can totally forget about yourself and not worry about what you need. I'm glad i chose to come out here and do this.

well i cant wait to hear back from you, i hope everything continues to go well. thank you for all that you do. i love you and miss you all so much! let me know if there is anything i can do for you. love you!!! :)

Love Randy
