Fam!
Hows life? Sounds like mccall was a hit. It looked cold in the pictures, like really cloudy...no? But it looked really awesome. i was laughing at the story of the bike ride. I just hope that one day mom, london, and kenz can go on one of the scout 100 mile bike rides and then talk about that mccall idaho bike trip ha ha. jk but seriously (you know what i'm talking about dad) ha ha sorry ok anyway, this week was another tough week of finding people but it's all good. Thanks so much for your prayers, i know they are helping. It helps so much just knowing that i've got the fam back home rooting for me at every moment. Thanks a ton.

President May has focused a lot on how we need to be 100% dependant on the Lord for our success in every aspect of our lives, not just here in the mission. But the mission is going through a tough time right now, we are really low in some statistics but President May is doing what he should be, turning us to the Lord for help. I love it. He reminds me a lot of dad. That was cool to hear about Jaren Day coming home. We have an investigator from the dominican republic! in fact, she was the only one that came to church this week. She is going through tough times and we are trying to get her to understand that the gospel is her spiritually food and medicine. Her name is Adalina, please keep her in your prayers. I feel like elder tanner and i connect a lot, he is a stud and we have the same sense of humor and we get along so that helps the work a lot. We are using that new art gospel book in our contacts and showing people pictures and it helps. Man mom you'd be so proud of us we are mr. clean in our apartment. almost every apartment in the mission has ancient trash that no one throws out cause it takes a little extra effort and man we have purified our dwelling. a+. ok, just some tips on the cigarrette idea. you guys need to prepare the cigarrette without them seeing it. tell them "im gonna give you your last cigarrette you'll ever smoke" and then go home and prepare it and make sure to give it a day to dry in the sun. then tell them what i told you to say in the last email and it should work. This sunday there are transfers, so we will see what happens, i doubt we will have any changes in my area. i hope not. well fam gotta go, we are going to buy some yarn and im gonna teach elder tanner how to knit the beanie of his life.
