Letter to Dad from Bonifay-August 19, 2013

Hey Dad,

I'm doing good! Just be chillin hear in Bonifay!
Answers to Questions:
1. So do the members feed you guys? How often? We have a meal coordinator and the calendar is passed around Relief Society every week. The food is really good. Our calendar is full pretty much all week this whole month.
2. Since your comp is the DL do you guys do splits with other missionaries? Do you guys have sisters in your District? We are planning on doing exchanges sometime soon with the ZL's and with the other set of Elders in our District. We are getting two sets of sisters in our district next transfer.
3. How are you with the discussions? I'm pretty good with the discussions. Just basic doctrine and applying the Atonement and the principles to helping the people in their lives.

4. How are your investigators? Our investigators are cool. We have one committed to being baptized named Brenda and she is working on quitting smoking. The other really progressing investigator is a man named Dondre. He reminds me a lot of Kenyatta and is really cool. He takes notes while we are teaching!

5. How is your Ward? Or is it a branch? Are the members cool? The ward is awesome the people are amazing here and I honestly have never seen such a tight knit group of saints.
6. So where do you write emails from? and when you say you have two hours to write emails and letters what is the rest of your p-day like? I email from the family history center in our church building. The rest of P day is laundry which we usually do in the apartment, cleaning and shopping and chilling.
7. So we see that rain has been hitting the south pretty good. is it getting you guys too? The rain is pretty crazy here. Just super sheets but we don't get it too bad here.
They only had a scrimmage huh? That's weird. Is Ethan asking anyone to homecoming? Tell them to keep on laying hat. Is the helmet for Noah expensive? I'll keep praying for mom. I hope Noah and Ena can play hard this Friday. Do they start? I knew my saints would win. Oh and remember how the guy at the mission office said people don't really use rain jackets? Yeah he lied. So I'm wondering if you could send one over here because we can't find any that fit me over here. Remember the one in Smith and Edwards that was like a really weird material and said like frog or toad on the name. That one would be great.

Thanks dad for the advice and the scripture. Here are mine for this week. This is for you. Mosiah 4: 11-12 and this is for the family. Mosiah 18:21
