Dear Dad, mom, and Jessa, I sure love you people! Thanks so much for the awesome package and for letting me know how your week was. That's so good to hear that dad is getting his hops back again shared some raspberry jam with my homie Brother Dollar, cause raspberry's can't grow in Mississippi cause it is too hot. And him and his wife loved it! They send their compliments to the chef. :) This week was long but pretty good. On Monday we had specialized training in Alexandria and I got to see a lot of the missionaries and have lunch with Elder and Sister Horner so that was a good time! For p day on tuesday we went golfing and I learned why I don't golf haha I was bad. But it was a lot of fun, we went with Bro. Norris and had a good time. Even though we all lost he took us to the malt shop and we had some good shakes. We also met a really cool guy on Tuesday that really wants to learn more his name is bill and he is a biologist for the Forest Service. It was really humbling to see how much the spirit has been working on him and preparing his heart. On Wednesday we got to go and keep helping build this house with the habitat for humanity, that is always a fun time! We work with a bunch of good ol boys and this week we finished most of the siding and worked a little inside. Thursday, friday, and saturday it rained a ton and sunday was awesome! It had just been a long week and church just mellowed me out and by the end of it I was feeling good. One of our recent converts gave a talk and she did awesome! I'm glad to be here! I'm also glad to be the new 4-7 year old primary teachers for awhile. We are going to have a good time. I hope you have an awesome week and that you know how awesome I think you are!! Keep on keepin on. Love your mud
