Dear Bloomin Famskeets,
    There is so much I have to tell you this week, first of all i just want to thank you dad for your idea, that would be a sweet way to find investigators, it would definantly be a cool way to shake things up a little.  I will give it a try and let you know what happens.  
   It sounds like things are getting intence up there baptisms, stake conference, Oklahoma plays, Birthdays, Abe, Work, school, moody weather, 2nd comming.  All kinds of Crazy stuff.  Eden who are you playing in Oklahoma?  Can you take pictures all dressed up and such?  Pictures have become one of my favorite things here in the mission they say millions of things.  
  This past week we also had stake conference.  It was broadcast from Saltlake and Elder Anderson, Sister Beck and Elder Perry all spoke, it felt very personalized when elder Anderson and Sister Beck spoke, because they actually spoke in spanish, not saying that Elder Perry was not good it was just special to here it in spanish.  Over all the messages were incredible.  So little pre story time... We have an investigator (Ramon) that went down south for his vacations but the day after he got down there he fell and broke his foot and had to be on bed rest the whole vacation, stinky vacation right, but that is not the story.  This week he got back, we went by and visited him and he said he was having a super hard time just walking around the house.  We invited him to come to the conference with us he said he really wanted to go but it was so painful to walk that he didn´t know if he could make it. We offered to find a ride and he said ok, we told him that we would come and pick him up at 9:30 in the morning. That night I prayed that he would be able to go and that his foot would be bareable.    All the plans that we had for rides fell through, we finally decided to call a taxi and just go with that but when we arrived at his house, the only thing that came out or made a noise was his dog.  Needless to say I was really disapointed,  we called off the taxi and took the bus which was much cheeper and arrived at the stake center 15 minutes later.  As we were walking up to the gates of the stake center we saw to our suprise Ramon slowly making his way in with a cane.  He said that we were't there at 9:30 so he just left walking.  I was astonished and amazed, he loved the conference and has a deep desire to learn more.  I know prayer works and that miracles are real.  President promised us that March will be a month of Miracles so be looking up there as well.  Speaking of miracles almost a year and a half a crazy kid left from Middleton Idaho to serve a mission in Chile Santiago,  nearly more than half a year ago another kid left from Middleton Idaho to serve a mission.  Today we had changes and my new companion is Coty Palmer.  I was so excited,  this change is definantly going to be a good one.
  I love ya all and hope you have a sa weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet week.
Elder...
