My family!!!! I am SO glad to hear that you are doing good!!! The library was closed for Columbus day yesterday and we just got back from zone conference in the big city so sorry it took me so long to email you this week. It sounds like you guys had a busy week! Melissa will be awesome in YW with you!!! And I bet that was a scary hunting trip!!! I am doing wonderful! :) If I was doing any better it would probably be illegal haha Not cause anything crazy awesome has happened but just cause I finally feel like I am getting better at having fun while working hard. This week has been crazy but a lot of fun! I ate fried chicken gizzard and fried chicken liver the other day....it was interesting but not as bad as you would think. And this week I get to try squirrel gumbo! I am pretty excited! We went on exchanges this week and Elder Martell came down to me so I was in charge again that was kind of fun. We worked really hard, I am kind of a slave driver like my mama :) But we had a lot of fun! We met with an investigator behind the library in this gazebo and anyway after our meeting he went and got in his old truck and it wouldn't start. He needed a jump so he popped the hood and then told us that he knew that if he had faith in Jesus someone would come and help him in like 5 minutes. So I told him if you have faith I know that he will help you, so we went to the front of the library (cause he was parked in the back) and I asked a lady to go and give him a jump and she did, and then we rode back past and he was like see I told you that Jesus would take care of me :) and he just had the biggest smile on his face. So I was so happy that I got to be the "works" for his "faith"!! Thanks for all of your letters and for all of your support!! They mean a lot to me! Will you tell the moultons thanks for sending me a package, that was so nice of them! I hope you have a great week!!! Thanks for being so amazing!!!!! Love, Elder Dye :)

Hey my family!! It's good to hear that things are going good for you! Conference was great! Would you believe me if I told you that I didn't sleep at all either? God is still a God of miracles haha That's awesome that Randy was in that choir I didn't see him but that is sweet!! I am not going to lie going to the priesthood session without dad was pretty depressing, but I only have to go to 3 more without him! And when I was watching the Priesthood Session I had an undeniable impression that dad was thinking and praying for me. It was pretty amazing! We watched all but the Sunday Morning session of conference at a members house the Ory's they are awesome!! Sunday morning we invited a bunch of people to come and watch conference with us and nobody showed up so that kind of stunk but we will just have to get them to church next week. That is one thing that I have learned about southern people they love to talk but they are not very good at following through on what they say they will do. I'm sorry that you guys had to go back to school today that is depressing! How's school treating everybody? That's awesome it is Homecoming week that is always a fun week!! Dad is a brave and tough man to go dress shopping with you two crazy girls! That is pretty funny that Jessa fell off her shoes, it's a good thing that I'm not a girl or I would do a lot more than just through out my neck walking in 4 inch heels! I bet she did great dancing she is a good little dancer! I am really proud of our aggies!! That is awesome! There are a lot of BYU fans here that were really mad it kind of made me laugh haha Everybody loves football here. Even the little old ladies know the top 25 teams and who the saints are playing next so we get a lot of football updates. By the end of the week we have analyzed the whole Saints game at least 3 times with different people haha Yes I got my package it was great!!! You guys are way to nice to me! Thank you so much!! It is crazy that everybody is leaving!! They are going to be great though!! I don't exactly know where to get a raincoat but I will try and work on it this week. :) This week has been a great one! One of the Sisters went home, Sister Seegrist, and it was really hard to say goodbye to her. She was my homie!! I thought all that saying goodbye stuff was done when I left home but it's ok. haha Paul flew back in yesterday so we get to start working with him again this week so I am really excited!! We are working with a lot of different people and I hope that we will be able to help them how we should. So the new sister came on Wednesday so we borrowed an inactive members, Brother Nolans, bunnies and we went an locked them into the sisters study room haha The new sister was straight from the MTC so she wasn't quite sure what to think about chasing bunnies around to try and put them back into their cage hahaha I will have to think about the Christmas thing... just a letter from each of you and I will be great :)! I am doing really good!! It has been a great week and I am learning a lot!! Sometimes learning is a painful experience but every day I just try a little harder to be a little better and I know that the lord will help me :) Hope y'all have a great week!!! Your the best!!! I love you!!!
