Hello!!!

Did you also get that letter from the first presidency about not asking the congregation to open their scriptures during sacrament meeting when giving a talk? I thought that was unusual, but it makes sense. This reminds me, we gave talks in Comanche Branch on the fourth Sunday. I spoke about faith, and it went well.

We were mowing someone's lawn one day, and I got attacked by ants and chiggers at the same time! The ants pinched, and chiggers burrow in the skin and live there for a while. I think next time I'll just wear my socks over my pants.

I already mentioned about our last zone conference with Pres. Rose, and as of last night, we have a new mission president. We’re going to meet him during our every-transfer interviews next week. That also means we're going to have to drive to San Angelo twice next month, so we'll be using a lot of miles.

Yesterday, we taught the 5th Sunday combined meeting in Brownwood. We talked about member missionary work and how to go about doing it. it was a really good lesson, and we're hoping that it will encourage the members to share the Gospel with others.

In the meantime, we've been teaching some great people. At least three golden investigators. Another guy we were teaching let us in just to hear what we have to say and see if it's as crazy as he thought it was, and the whole time he was just dismissing what we said, but he realized he didn't give us enough of a chance, and started listening. Cool things like that happen all the time.

Anyways, I'm taking too long. I should go. It FINALLY rained in this region, so it's not as boiling hot, but all the humidity will make it worse afterwards. Maybe we'll go mudding today, and make it all worth it.

The Gospel is true!

I love you all!
