Yeah i was kind of bummed that i didn't get that package on Saturday, but i did get it on monday and everything was still there, no complaints ha. all of the chocolate was melted so i stuck it in the freezer trying to get it to harder up, it's all deformed ha but it's still good! :) thank you for that, i love get packages from you. and it's been really awesome i told Elder Woollard how the family normally writes me every sunday and then sends it out monday so he told his family to do that and they have been so he has been happy with getting mail and what not so i'm happy for him. i cant wait to get your letter that you sent on monday! :)

well this past week has been a good week for me but at the same time it's had it's things that have brought me down. Sunday morning our phone rang and it was Sister Wallace a lady from my last area she called to let me know that Brother Dean Van Vleet the member that i lived with passed away earlier that morning, i guess he was having heart problems and breathing problems but they were away at a rock show in Price Utah and he passed away in his sleep. i know that he is in a better place but it was still hard to hear because i was wanting to go back and introduce the family to him, he was and is such a great guy. his grandson called me later that day to let me know and i told him that i had heard, he seemed to be doing alright but was kind of stuggling so i was able to talk with him. i'm so glad that i have a testimony of the Plan of Salvation and know that we can be together with our families again after this life. i asked our mission President if i could go out and attend the funeral and he said that it was probably best that i didn't.

anyways late in the week last week i was riding my bike through a bike path and it was swampy and this bird hit me in the back of the head and landed between my back pack and my back and so i look back and i saw one fly off and i thought it was gone so i reach back to feel were he pecked me and the dumb this was still there ha so i hit it and he flew off, Elder Woollard was behind me a ways just laughing. ha so i can officially say that i've been attacked by a bird. ha..

We are going to push back Wryleys baptism to July 10th because his extended family wont be able to make it the 19th of June. But we are still going over there weekly and working with the family.

we got to teach Dave Parker and Holly Josephson the 2nd lesson on Sunday and it went really well, they are talking about getting married so they can be baptized, we aren't sure when it will happen yet but we are excited.

Ok so 2 Sundays ago i let Elder Woollard take the dinner calendar to church with a binder that we take on Sundays, anways we get back that night and he doesn't have it! ha so as of right now we dont have a dinner calendar and we rely on those that are feeding us to call us if they remember ha! we have serched the apt, the members home who we had dinner with, the member who took us home from church and still no luck! so we keep praying that we'll find it.

We were able to do some service work this past week as well, on Friday a family moved into the ward, there son is in the bishopric anyways we helped them unload the 53' moving truck that they had full ha and it was the hottest day of the year yet. so we got a great work out! ha and then right after that the next morning we helped a member break a pattio of concrete and then load it up into a truck and take it to the dump. so i've had quite the work out this past week, between riding bike and lifting a bunch of things. we have lots of potential in this area and pray that we will be able to see success.

well thank you for the email and the letters that you send. take care and have a great week. i miss you and love you so much! let me know if there is anything i can do for you! love you! :)
