Hello everybody!

How's it going?

Things are alright here. We had a great zone conference on Tuesday. It was in our chapel, so we didn't have to go far, but there were missionaries from all over west of Texas. Elder Pearson, newly called to the Seventy, came and taught us a lot of cool things, and motivated us to really work hard. We were all really excited.

Then I got a cold the next day. I've been stuck in the apartment for most of the week. I was still able to go to a few appointments, coughing up a lung, and whatnot, but mostly it's been in-pyjamas-at-home rest for me. I didn't really miss out on Halloween, though. We're not supposed to be working on holiday evenings, so some missionaries came over, and we had some fun.

The next day, suit season started. Everyday, if it's under 70 degrees, we have to wear our suit jackets. After 6 PM, we have to wear it no matter what. Personally, I think it would have been better if I had just black suit jackets so I can just put them on, no matter which black pants I'm wearing. With my pinstripe suit, I have to put on my pinstripe pants, which is rather inconvenient.

Anyways, once my cold is in the down-low, Elder Goodfellow and I are all set to make Midland explode. This Fast Sunday, the whole mission, and many of the members fasted to double baptisms. We're going to make it happen.

I'll talk to you again soon!

I love you!
