Hey that was a sweet Epistle Dad. I really debated just calling you Mark throughout this whole emal but I settled to respect my parents like the scriptures say.

This week was very spiritually draining but it was spiritually uplifting as well. I was able to go on exchange with a new missionary who just came out on Thursday. We had a blast riding our bikes all over Charlottesville and the UVA campus talking to every single person we saw. I had so much fun and Elder Thomas was uplifted as well. He had only been out 2 days and hadn't left the apartment yet so it was refreshing for him to just talk to people. He is 21 and played center at Dixie State. BIG BOY. Teddy bear. Softie for the gospel. I LOVE it.

The Contata went well. Hopefully we will get a dvd of it. Someone filmed it. There were a bunch of people there and some members of other churches. The spirit was strong. I loved it.

I have been working on my studies this week. My goal has been to feel the spirit guiding them more.

Ok I just spent a lot of time looking at my classes and I love what I saw! That all looks good. I'm stoked.

I got the seeds and I loved them thank you. I am still looking through the EMT stuff but I like that too. EMT/Paramedic sounds sweet. I have just always been the first one kneeling next to a hurt person on the scene and I never know what to do. Give me a....scalpel.... or something!!! I feel like that would be so natural for me to be an EMT/Paramedic.

OK I gotta go. Love you all. Louis is still on board to be baptized but not this week. He couldn't come to church. Hasn't been yet. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

Love,
