Hey yall!! Well it's a little weird having P-day on Thursday now. But I guess I'll get used to it. Well I've got a lot to update yall on. It got really warm last week but it dropped again yesterday and now it's freezing again. I did but some gloves though so that has helped. Unfortunately I am now on a bike. They did put missionaries up in Perryton this week and they took our car. Elder Coy, my MTC buddy, is up there with a greenie. I'm excited to be able to see him every week now. We've got some way cool Elder's in our District now, so I'm excited about that. Elder Frederick and I are still together here in Borger. The work is coming along slowly here. We're working hard but the members don't really help us out too much so it's a little more difficult. Church this past weekend was great, Aaron Young is leaving next week for Brazil so him and his dad and his brother all spoke. It was a great sacrament meeting. Sunday school and priesthood/relief society were cancelled due to the sicknesses going around. The bishop said we will be only holding sacrament meeting until it gets a little bit better. A lot of the school's around here have shut down temporarily because of it. It's crazy!! This week our water heater busted and leaked all over our apartment and our neighboors beneath us. So while they were cleaning it up and fixing it we had to sleep over at a members house. We stayed with Brother Jordan, he's 89 about to turn 90 and probably the coolest old guy I've ever met. He gets around way good still and comes out with us whenever. Last week he was climbing on the roof of his house to fix some stuff. I got after him and told him he has to call us next time. It was fun staying the night with him though. He's got some awesome stories. Last night at about 7:30 or 8 we went over to see this part member family and we told them a little while ago we would cut there lawn. We tried to make a deal with her that if we cut it she would come to church, but anyways we ended up mowing there lawn in the dark last night. It was pretty fun. Next week we're having a combined Zone Conference because Elder Christensen of the 70 is coming to visit the mission. I'm super stoked about that!! Half the mission will meet on Thursday and the other half will be meeting on Friday. On Wednesday I get to go down to Lubbock for a leadership training with him. That's gonna be sweet. Then that night we'll drive back to Borger, P-day on Thursday and then Friday its back to Lubbock for Zone Conference. Then Halloween Saturday night. It's gonna be a crazy week. Well everythings good out here. I hope all is well with yall back home. I love yall and you're always in my prayers. The church is true.
