Hey my family!! Glad to hear that you are doing good! Things here are great!! I still sweat a dripping sweat pretty much all the time but I love it! Sometimes I don't blame the people for not answering the door with a big sweaty white guy dripping sweat all over their porch haha. I haven't really ate anything to weird yet a lot of chicken and fish though. And one of the members his name is Brother Noland said that he would cook me up some squirrel in a couple of weeks so that will be fun! This brother Nolan has a pig that thinks it is a dog it is crazy I will have to send you some pictures! I hope everything is going good with the ward too. I was having kind of a rough night the other night so I had a Pepsi just for Wendy haha Tell them all hi for me! So we were riding our bikes the other day and this black dude pulled up next to us and told us to pull over so we did in this parking lot and he told us to get rid of something for him that he had hidden under a towel. We were like dude if you need to get rid of it there is a garbage can right there, and he said why would I do that and he uncovered it and it was a radar detector that he was trying to sell to us so he could get enough gas money to go and help his mom at the hospital. So as directed by the spirit we gave him a little gas money, a Book of Mormon, and our number and told him to call us if he wanted to learn more. So the nest morning he called us and said he wanted to learn more about this book so we met him at the library and taught him the restoration and he was really interested. So the next day we met with him again and taught him the plan of salvation and I invited him to be baptized, and he looked at me and said, "Is that a trick question?" Of course I'll be baptized! Can we do it right now? there is a hose right over there!!! hahaha it was crazy!! So we are planning on September 13th for his baptism! He is awesome his name is Paul and he says that he wants us to teach his whole family!! The lord works in mysterious ways haha We are also teaching a girl named Mallory that is doing really well! I haven't got your package yet but I will let you know!! Thank you so much for your love and your prayers! I can feel them especially when I am having a rough moment.So I was having a really rough night the other night, my heart was just troubled and I missed my family and I was frustrated and I knew that I just needed to sleep. So I got down on my knees and asked him to bring me peace and comfort so I could sleep and an overwhelming feeling of peace came over me and I slept great! He answered my prayer! I was thinking about it the other day and the impression came to me that he sent me Grandma Sheila to help me so I could sleep. and that it was her that comforted me through the night! He is so amazing and I know that he is taking care of me always, and that he is taking care of you too!! :)Sorry I just really wanted to share that with you! It was a tender mercy of the lord!! I'm glad that the house is coming along! I am still working on getting used to the heat but I love it! It rained the other day like crazy and I was still sweating during the rain haha My companion is good, he is a little crazy but he is good and he is really nice to me!! We have exchanges this week so I get to go to Mandeville with Elder Bennett until Friday I love you and I do miss you but if he will let me be with you forever than I will do whatever he asks of me!! Hope you have a great week!! I love y'all!!!!!! Love, Elder Dye P.S. Would you mind sending me some stamps if you get some time? It's ok if you can't and I don't want to sound needy haha
