Hi Family!
Well this week was most certainly epic in more ways than one. I will try my best to put it into words:
The church tour with Wayne and Pat went really well. They brought their friend Suzanne, who is also ultra catholic. We walked all through the church, which is unique because there are tons of BOM pictures all down the halls. It was built by the members in the 80's all by personal funds - no tithing. We finished in the chapel and watched the new Joseph Smith movie that they show in the visitor centers. I always boob through that one!! There's a little girl that is crying in one part, and she looks almost just like Ems. AWW!! But the spirit was way strong, and they had alot of good questions that got cut short because they had a dinner appointment to rush to. Oh well! We went chat with them on friday night, and Wayne is going to teach us sign language! He invited us over in addition to our weekly meetings to have a short gospel lesson and then learn sign! Haha he is so cool! He is italian, and used to be in the mob.
We tracted into a guy named Jim in Summerland a while ago, and we went up to try and talk to him (The phone number he gave us didnt work.). He was trimming his hedges, and stopped and talked to us for a bit. His sister lived in Salt Lake and her husband is a bishop. SHe died in January, so he has alot of questions. We gave him BOM and he gave us the correct phone number. He seems... elect? Haha! We'll meet with him this week.
We had some people living in our parking lot Saturday night and Sunday. Their old suburban and trailor had broke down and they thought it was safe to stop there. They were hasseling us to call the bishop and het them some help, so we did the best we could. They asked us for food, and we asked them for money to buy their food. They replied that they didnt have any money, but they liked mcdonalds and big macs. So we gave them some water. They were interesting! They sat in sacrament meeting for a while! Haha
Yesterday we FINALLY got an investigator to church!!! His name is Mark Noffz and he's married to a member who's daughter is also a member. They are SUPER less active. The whole family came!!! The Sis. Noffz and Isabelle dont like/ have dresses, so they sacrificed and bought some at target on saturday. They are really poor, so it means alot that they did that. Mark broke some ribs sledding a couple weeks ago when it snowed up in the mountains, so he only stayed for testimony meeting, but Isabelle stayed for the whole block. WOOO! Finally some success! (Not that we havent had any, it's just we havent had any progressing investigators, because none of them will come to church.)
Umm... In that package... I would really like some parachute cord. We're trying to think up some fun lessons we can do with families, and i think i could do alot with that! In my bedroom there is a red fanny pack/ shoulder bag thing that had a bunch of cord in it. Just throw all you can into the package please!! We have great plans for it :)!!!! You are teh best!!
Any decisions on the Archos? I am just curious. We love cd's too, but that would be nice because we could share both of our favorite music and make playlists. We often listen to cd's in our apartment though! whatever you decide to do, i'll still love you ;)
I got your letter, and i loved it! The theme cards look so good! I gave one to elder Manning.
Well, I love you I love you I love you! I hope the week for you is great! Godspeed!

Pictures:
Sunset in Summerland - It was stormy and rainey all day, but we drove up there and it cleared up!!
My new missionary library - Notice it includes a Quran :)! Wayne gave it to me. he says it reads like the bible, and it's actually very good! I havent read it really, but maybe at lunch times it might be fun to cruise though.
The duck phone we found in our kitchen today - AWESOME.
OK i have to send this one. It's one of my DREAM CARS! An Aston Martin DB9. This is like a $200,000 car!!! AGHH!!! It's a dentist's here in Carp. We drove by, and i made elder Manning pull over to take a picture!!! I love it:) Haha i'm a human.
We got a call form the Assistants today... We're not getting transferred! Whew! We love it here too much! another 6 weeks in Carp!
