Hiya!!

Hey Everyone,

I'll talk to the boys in a sec. This week has been weird. Nothing big happened. Nothing changed. I went to Andalusia this week to do another baptismal interview. We did a trade-off with the Andalusia Elders and I was with Elder Jones. Elder Barlow and Elder Fox went to Ozark with Elder Kanis. Elder Kanis wasn't even a week out and I was throwing him under the bus making him in charge of the area. He did great and had a good time.

For me Andalusia was great. Elder Jones is much older than Elder Kanis, but he's one of those Elders who doesn't really care. So while I was there we only had two lessons planned, one being the interview, and no dinner appointment, first in a long time. I spent most my time in Andalusia tracting. We tracted for about 5 hours in our short 24 hour trade-off. It was good and we found some really cool people who are looking for the truth. I followed up with the Andalusia Elders a couple nights ago and they went back to teach one of the girls we found. They came to find out that her and her boyfriend and looking for a church because their baby is due soon. AND her boyfriend is a less active member of the church!! Perfect! It was great to hear their progression.

Junior and Lugenia are doing great. They still have to get married before they can get baptized, but they are working towards it and want to get married. We had a Pine Wood Derby this week. (our car got owned) The Elders quorum was invited to help make the event bigger and give the boys a bigger crowd. We invited Junior and he was super excited to go. Half an hour before it’s supposed to start Lugenia calls and asks if she can go too. We said yes and 7 of them ended up coming. It was great. Sis Morrison invited Lugenia to go with her to Relief society the next day and she was just as excited and Junior was to go to the Derby. They came to church this week, but missed sacrament meeting again. They were trying to wake up Lenora to get her to go. It was the 5th Sunday for us as well and they all enjoyed the message our bishop gave. They like church and the members.

Elder Kanis and I gave talks in sacrament this week. Elder Kanis gave his on Faith and I gave mine on the Atonement. It was a great experience to be there to teach everyone who came. We thought because we gave talks that our dinner calendar would sky rocket, but it didn't. Oh well, we're still getting fed every night this week. :)
Elder Kanis is great. He's still got that young missionary mind. Zone Conference is coming up and President loves to have the new Elders do a lot. He's a little nervous about that, but he'll be well prepared.
Ozark is great and I'm really sick of the cold. Cold + no snow = pointless.

Love ya'll
Elder Call
