Yeah I heard about the plane crash I know the Elder a little bit but not very well his name is Elder Johnson. My new area is pretty nice its a small ward (think i already said that though) the ppl are way nice and into missionary work so its pretty cool the other day we got a new investigator Sis Colbert her brother died last November then her Aunt died in December and last month her Dad died so its been pretty rough on her we found cause we went to go visit her mother who is a less active but she wasn't home so we talked with her daughter instead (investigator) who is Methodist it was a really good talk we talked about the plan of salvation mostly and also gave her a Book of Mormon to read she is bomb. Her husband was out back tinkering around on a few things they have an old '73 chevy pickup that they have lifted up and put some big ol tires on lol pretty sweet I think. well that was most of my week yall take care and get better. Happy Valentines day.

I got transferred down to San Bernardina into a small ward that only had 88 ppl at church this past week. My comp is from Ohio his name is Elder Laulusa (his grandpa is Samoan that's where his name comes from) he is pretty cool. We white washed into the area (Case ya don't know what that means it just means that we are both new to the area the two missionaries there before us both got transferred out, they were the sisters too actually lol) so we spent most the week getting to know the members the Bishop and ward mission leader and such. cool story we were out trying to see some past investigators and what not, when we saw someone moving into the house next door so we went and helped they had some waaaaay nice saddles and tack so after we were done moving them in I started talking to the owner who was an older lady they turned out to belong to her husband who had passed away a while back from cancer, the cool part though is that her husband was in some films with John Wayne one of them being Stagecoach (which she has the original script for it) and his saddles one of them was a cavalry saddle that was hand made that he had in the film he also help train ppl in the military on how to ride horses and she also had a hat there that was given to him by Paul Newman which she let me put on for a little bit it was pretty neat to talk to her about that stuff and also she and her son who was there could be (probably over time) taught they were way nice, we could probably be able to go and teach them it was pretty cool lol. and so well that was what happened this week. love and miss ya'll.

We are just starting a new transfer and nothings changing both me and my comp are staying which is good we both thought that he was going to be leaving we're glad he isn't ( After Kevin wrote this he found out that he was being transferred ). Gabrielle is doing pretty good she didn't come to church yesterday which is not good we have a meeting with her tomorrow so we will see whats up then she is doing good though in her other places with the word of wisdom with smoking and drinking which is way good. We also have a family that moved in from Lake Arrowhead not to long ago with two kids one about 16 or so and the other who is about 12 around there I'm not quite sure yet we have only met with them once on the doorstep to set up a meeting with them which we have tonight actually which will be pretty sweet. the two kids are the only ones not baptized in the family. So this week is going to be a good one I'm excited :). anyway i love ya all take luck.

On Sunday Gabrielle (investigator) and her son Chance (Recent convert) came to Sacrament meeting they had to leave early so they couldn't stay for the rest but it was so way cool to see them there it was the first time that we've seen Gabrielle come, so sweet!!! so that's the only real big thing that's happened lol we got a new investigator as well Elder Daines talked with him on the phone for about 45min or so one night and he wants to meet with us this next Sunday his name is Tony and he has a problem with drinking and drugs and stuff ya know the usual lol. He was drunk when Daines was talking to him it was pretty funny some of the things but he was way cool too. I love ya'll and miss ya.

So not to much has happened this week but it is finally snowing thank goodness its been snowing all night so we got a few inches of snow right now so this next week looks like it will end up being more of a service week going around and shoveling ppl out its going to be awesome lol. so I can't remember if i told ya all about the goose i pretty much killed. so a while back a member asked us to go and help give a blessing down the hill so we went and outside the hospital is this little scenic pond with trees and what not and around it are all these ducks and geese so we were like huh cool and just kept going we went up gave the blessing and then headed back out and while we are headed back over to the trucks I'm like huh i want to throw this little rock that i found on the ground at one of the geese just to startle it, yeah know me not the brightest some times lol. So i did but it just so happened that at the same time the goose i had designated as the target turned and i hit it in the back of the head and it started to freak out and go crazy and i was like o man oops. The member just turned and he said you got to remember that ya are not in Wyoming any more, and so my comp and i left and as we did the goose was head down not moving any more so we thought i had killed it. I'm like that's not good and i started thinking that we could go back and get it and then we could cook it up and eat it that would make a nice Christmas dinner don't ya think? but we didn't we just kept going not till later did our member tell us that the goose was fine that i had just knocked it silly and it was all good lol. Pretty good huh lol well I love and miss ya all.
