Hello!

How's it going?

Transfer calls came in, I'm staying here in Midland with E. Goodfellow. It looked like most of the other missionaries are staying, too, but some of them just got a phone call with a last-second change. Transfers are always an exciting yet frustrating process.

Other than that, things are rather normal. Sister Hunter, a member here, is a professional seamstress, and she can mend any missionary's clothes. I took my suit jacket to her, and she shortened the arms! They actually fit decently now! That whole family is cool. We are still being well fed, as usual.

After most of my cold was over, I got food poisoning from a mexican buffet. It seemed like a good idea, but now I know why there aren't more mexican buffets. A few days after that, I got a minor stomach flu. I've been sick all this transfer, and it's really frustrating. Maybe that's why the two of us are staying here; to make up for lost time.

Oh, and I have a couple projects for you, should you choose to accept them:
First, I'd like to know what font our scriptures are written in. open up microsoft word, and compare side by side the fonts, and see which one matches up exactly. if it's none of the ones in MS word, than see which one comes closest. also, what are the relative fonts from text, to footnotes, to the word "chapter"?
Second... I totally forgot. don't worry, it'll come to me when we all step outside after this.

Anyways, I want you to know that the Church is true. The only way you're going to know that is if you live it. If you want to know if a pie is good, you'll try it. You don't have to eat the whole thing, just a decent-sized slice. Leaps of faith are what makes the world go forward. Make one for this, and you won't regret it.

I love you!
