Damage

Yup I have stayed in Wetumpka. Lol im actually running the whole county of Elmore. All of it is under my juridiction. As far as misisonary work is concerned. Elder Reed is a nice guy. He's from Alberta Canada.Lets see anything else......not at the moment. Im glad Dad and dave and sarahs visit went well. really I am. I do remember the slides that dad had. Thats cool taht you made that for him. Im sure that took him back to when things were simplier and they wrote in stone tablets :) As for the crazy weather. The tornado alarms went off like 3 times. A place near us called Prattville sustained very heavy damage. also in my district was a place called clanton and a few people were killed. Also I heared of another place called Autuagaville was washed off the face of the map. Though Florida got hit the heaviest. I dont know too much about all that. We get news at least 3 days after the fact LOL. AS for my baptism....Her name is Karen Park. we found her through a member referal and when we found her she had already read the Book of Mormon and was starting to read D&C. So it was great. She Knew it was true when we found her. After a few weeks She was baptised so its been great. She is smaller than mom I think which I think is funny. Also she gives us Steak.....lots and lots of steak. Organic steak which is WAY BETTER THAN REGULAR STEAK.....and thats the truth. So other than that nothing really new. WE have a few baptisms lined up, but only time will tell. We have been instructed...today that we need to double our baptism numbers.....it came from all the way from the top and a man named Elder Gonzales instructed it So I have my work cut out for me. Also My mission President is one of the best scriptorians in the Whole church! He (literally) knows everything there is to know about the bible and about Joseph Smith. He Consistantly gets phone calls from D. Todd Christopherson. and Also Henery B. Eyring from the first presidency. So we get alot of that kind of stories from him. He wrote the Gospel Principles book. The one that is used in the chuch. and he has published other books as well. So We have a Mission President who knows his stuff. Please tell everyone that im doing Lots better. LOL The Hard part of my mission I believe is over. There is a time that a new misisonary has to go through in the start that is hard. All you have to do is grin and smile. Thats it. Its tough......extremely. Words cant describe. Two years still seem like forever, but it goes lots faster as you hit your 6 month part. (So im told) WEll I love you guys. Give my love to the girls and Everyone! Love you guys!
