Hey mom,

I am getting transferred, tomorrow.  The BBQ will be on March 19,  I will not be able to attend, it is really crappy thing that I will not be able to be there for it. I hope that Elder Luster won't mess it up. We have both worked really hard on it. I love Kendallville, it has been the best place of my mission so far. I will miss it dearly. But I will go where the Lord wants me to go. It sounds like the weather there has been amazing. It was nice here, we were having 55 almost 60 for a couple days then it got really cold again. It snowed about 5-6 inches last night so it has cooled back down a bunch. Hopefully I will have transfers postponed for a couple days so that I can stay here for a couple more days so I can say good bye to everyone. This past week was amazing, we had alot of really awesome lessons. We were finally able to come in contact with Lynda Webster! She is doing great, she has quit smoking. The Dr is still doing a lot of testing to find out if she will have to do chemo or not. She is still stressed over that, but she still has the desire to be baptised eventually. She is very grateful for the prayers in her behalf. We also have another baptism date. Tami Philo, she is a headquarter referral, she is awesome. She has been meeting with us 2-3 times now and has been keeping all of our commitments, so we committed her to baptism. She accepted the baptism date of March 26, hopefully Elder Luster will work really hard with her and help her receive the gospel. We also had a sweet lesson with the Sonke  family. They are super awesome.  They are determined to come out to Idaho to go hunting and fishing. I told him that I would take them. They are awesome. Our family will love them when they come out. They have a huge black lab named bear, ironic huh, but the dog hates Obama, you can just say Barack and he will jump on you and make you fall over, it is the coolest thing ever. They are a little bull headed with the gospel. They  are those people that just really question everything and they are really hard to teach because we have really simple minds. They have really complex minds, it is amazing at how the holy ghost work's through us. Because some of their questions.... there is no way that I would have been able to answer them with out it. I will definitely keep in contact with them. 

It sounds like everybody is getting married back home, that is awesome. Who did Cade Gilbert marry? I didn't even know that he was off his mission yet? But it is awesome. I will write a letter home with my new address for you all. I love you tons.
