TRANSFERRED-DON"T SEND ANYTHING!!!!!

Hello Everyone,
I'm really sorry about last week’s letter. It was really short, my patience was not there and the computers were really slow. I've been on antibiotics for the last week. The Mission health advisors, Sis. Summerhays and Sis Higbee are great and take care of me. Because of my asthma they watch me like a hawk. I called them a couple of days before last e-mail to get help. Sis Higbee had me call Pres Bess. He's the stake president in the Dothan stake and a Doctor. I never had a fever, so he gave me some over the counter medicine. After that it felt a little better and the flu symptoms went away, but then my sinuses started to hurt. I called him again and he gave me a prescription for a sinus infection. I'm still recovering, but doing better. Mission protocol is... well I'm not too sure, but if anything happens they will take care of me. If it gets too bad they will call you. All I need from you are you prayers. It takes too long for you guys to try to heal me. I know mom will. :) I got you over-night letter, then I realized that I probably shouldn't have sent that last e-mail. Too much Drama. However, I am grateful that there are people watching out for my well being. Thank You.

I'm getting transferred!!! DON'T SEND ANY MAIL/PACKAGES UNTIL NEXT WEEK!!! I'm okay with getting mail a little late for my birthday. If it hasn't been sent yet, please don't send it. Then the other Elders won't have to worry about forwarding it.
I'm getting transferred back to Tallahassee. I'll be serving in Tallahassee 4th ward as a Zone Leader. Elder Kanis, my boy, will be serving with Elder O'Niones. Elder O'Niones served around me in the MTC and on Campus. They'll be great together. I'll be serving with Elder Tew. I don't know him very well. Other notables. My father, Elder Krieser is going Zone Leader in Mobile and Elder Perkins is going Zone Leader in Panama City Beach. Two great companions that I love.
Ozark has been great. The members here are really awesome. Each of them tries to recruit me for the army, but they all love missionary work. Ft. Rucker is a great place to serve. Helicopters flying around everywhere and member pilots. It’s been great to be here.
Junior and Luegenia are still moving along. Kim is ready for baptism. Oh! We met a guy while tracting today. You can call this my spiritual message. Actually I'll put it as the newsletter message as well.

Hey Boys,
I love to hear all of your great stories. The Spirit that comes from reading them is amazing. I love feeling the spirit and feeling the spirit in others.
Elder Kanis and I were tracting one afternoon. We had just knocked on a woman's home and had a lovely conversation. She wasn't interested, but her two sons were Mormons. She thanked us for coming and asked us to look up one of her sons. We agreed and took his contact information.
Leaving from her house we saw a man walking towards us. A perfect opportunity to contact and teach. Before we approached the man he called out to us, "Are the Lamanites comin'?" We were so confused. We had never met this man before, yet he knew about the Book of Mormon. We asked him if he had read the book. "6 times." 6 times he had read the Book of Mormon!! Golden! We asked him if he was a member, if he had gone to church, and if he believed that the book was true. "Nope," he replied, "I just think it’s a great story. Abinidi is my favorite. Oh, and also that Sam guy." We tried to talk more with him, but he walked away like he wasn't interested. I was so confused.
Here was a man who had read, no doubt, the Book of Mormon. Yet, he didn't know that it was true. There are a lot of people here in the south who know about our church. Other churches even have classes on our church, but they don't know it’s true. Most of the classes are against our church, but still they read from the Book of Mormon. I think I have realized the answer. They don't pray and can't feel the power of the Holy Ghost.
The Promise in the Book of Mormon that we all can know "by the Power of the Holy Ghost" (moroni 10:5) can only come through faith and prayer. Faith is an action. Read, ponder and ask God are the three requirements given to us by Joseph Smith in the introduction to the Book of Mormon. Through Faith, reading, pondering and asking, we can come to know that this book is a good book. By applying what we learn we can receive the blessings that he has promised us. The Book of Mormon is filled with examples of how to receive blessings and what we can do to receive them. This builds our faith and knowledge in the Book of Mormon. However, without prayer, it’s just another good book. Prayer is the way we can receive our answer to know if the Book of Mormon is true. Praying in Faith, willing to act on the answer, will help us receive that divine witness and lead us to know that the Church and the Gospel of Jesus Christ is again restored in its plain, precious and perfect state. Without prayer and Faith, we cannot know that the Book of Mormon is true. There is no possible way for a human, like ourselves, to know that anything is true without his help. This man did not know it was true, because he was not looking for the truth. He wasn't asking, seeking or knocking. He was an agent, being acted upon.
I love the Book of Mormon. Every time I read I learn something new. Something I need to work on, someone I can help, or a prompting of what I need to do. Prayer is how I know that this book is true. Faith is how I prove to myself and others that this book is true and that the blessings promised in the book are for everyone. I love the Book of Mormon. I pray that you love it as much as I do. It is the keystone of our religion, part of our unique message, and proof that God loves all of his children.
I love you all. Most of our year marks are coming quickly. I pray that the first year of your mission was the best, and that the next year will be 10 times better. I love you all.
Elder Call
Happy Birthday to Me!! ;)
