Hey Family,
I am doing great. This week was definitely better than last week. We were able to have a Zone Conference on Tuesday. It was amazing. All the training felt like it was directed around Elder luster and I, it was awesome. President and Sister Collins are awesome. They are amazing. They always make everything better.  They BBQ plans are going great, we were able to print off about 300 invitations and are in the process of getting it advertised in the newspaper and on the radio. It is really coming together; the ward is actually working together... it's awesome.  We were able to be able to find a family to teach; it is a part member family and we will start teaching them on Tuesday. Hopefully it will be beneficial for all. 
So I have been playing the piano alot. Our Branch President lives below us and lets me use his electric piano and I am able to play alot of hymns. I am going to suck it up and play next week in priesthood. Hopefully I don't slaughter it like I think I will. I am pretty sure that Elder Luster is pretty tired of hearing me try to play. But it is something that I do enjoy doing. I wish I would of kept playing as a kid. Oh well. It's kinda a good thing that I still remember alot and can still read notes and that jazz.
Kendallville is warming up alot it was 48 yesterday, and this morning, it was 38 when we woke up. Hopefully it cools back down a little or we are going to be in trouble with flooding. That would good kinda as well... it would give us another opportunity to reach out, give service, and have more teaching opportunites.
It is good to hear that Josh and Diana had a great week in Utah. Sounds fun. Oh, so the temple is going to be built in the outskirts of Carmel and is going to have the ground dedicated in 2013, from what I understand. I very well could be wrong, but if that is the case I will not be here when it is dedicated. I will come back for sure for the dedication.  But other than that, nothing really new has happened this week, the bonus is we are still on the right side of the grass, and the work in moving forward.
I love you all.
Elder Bair
