I Agree!!

That's so weird that so many things are happening at once. I would've never thought that Amie would pass on so soon. My companion has had many deaths back home, he is up to seven. I didn't think that I would be starting a death count too... but he is fine, and I will be too. What's going to happen with the rest of her family? Dad is a stud, it must be hard for him to lose a younger sibling, even if she was so much trouble. I hope that the death count stops there though, I would love to see Grandma and Grandpa when I get back!

Everything is going great down here! We had a baptism in our district and are going to have another one for this next week I believe. Our district is the most successful in our stake, it's great to see the other missionaries doing so great. Me and Elder B are trying hard to get a baptism date with an investigator, but he is super hard to catch at home. He doesn't have a set job and has to drive a lot to find work. He is super close to setting a date, and has said that he wants to be baptized no later than Easter. You are definitely blessed to have a great job! You and Dad both. How are the Bros doing with school and life? Has Coree moved in yet?

This past week, Elder B had to give an interview to the kid who was getting baptized, since he is district leader now. We had to drive to the church, and luckily there was a pinewood derby the same night. Luckily for us, we had dinner at a member's house who happened to have a car that he couldn't race. So we were able to join the derby! I got lots of pictures of it, and of the Chipley and Bonifay wards. The majority there was from Chipley. It was an anything goes race. If it fit on the track, you could race it! There were all kinds of cars, some had lights, others had remote controlled fans on them. The funniest one was the truck in the picture. The man made the truck hollow, through about halfway up the cabin, and poured metal in it. It weighed about 18 ounces! Ours had weights all along the bottom, and even metal chips on the outside, it weighed only 8 ounces. We took fourth, so our names weren't announced in the top three. It was so much fun! The young women were there making and distributing cupcakes, so they gave us several!

I have learned to trust who the Lord appoints to set up Sunday talks and such. So I think that Jameson didn't have time on purpose... but that is just a theory of mine. :) But this is why I trust them. We had a dinner appointment with members who had to give yesterday's talks. They told us that they knew what they were going to talk about before they were even asked and given a talk. Inspiration right? Well, yesterday I was also asked to give the closing prayer in sacrament meeting. I told him that I have never given a prayer in sacrament meeting before or afterwards. So the second counselor said that that was inspiration too! haha He is great! I'm definitely going to miss this ward when I leave, either in the next few weeks, or after one or two transfers.

When we were at an investigator's house, we got a call from a missionary in Albany, Georgia, it was Elder Helgeson. He said they made contact with Vicky Kielsmeier's friend. They said they had dinner with him and that he has a testimony, but he has a lot of things to work on in his life. I'm not sure if he is baptized or not, but that's what I got from the phone call. I am still horrible at talking to people on the phone, so that's why I didn't get as much information as I could have. If you could relay this information, I would be grateful!

I love all of you, and I hope that Jameson will stay safe! :)

P.S. I am doing my push ups and sit ups regularly! I hope to have a six pack when I get home :)

Hug!
