Hey mom,

This week has been good. not as great as last week but still fairly good. As you know I tweaked my back last Monday and it has been causing me grief and pain lately. I have been talking to the mission Dr and Sister Collin's to get it figured out. I am still mobile at least. It's a pain that you are still fighting the bronchitis, that is always no fun.  I am happy that it is getting cleared up and getting better. This week we had a really good lesson with William Apple he is doing good and is progressing. He is RLDS and his wife is a member of the church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints. Odd couple but very similar beliefs. He has been coming to church every Sunday and has been liking it, and he is getting implemented into the ward very nicely. Everybody already thinks that he is a member. The only thing that is holding him up is that he believes that the RLDS is the true church because of the such similar beliefs. He doesn't quite understand the things about the apostasy that sets our church apart and that their are wrong. This week we did something different as a district. Usually our district leader will set our baptism goal for the month, but this time we as a district all got together and prayed to receive revelation to get our goal set. It was amazing, the spirit was so strong in the church the meeting that usually takes 30 minutes to about 2 hours and was awesome. The way the lord works is just great. I definitely felt like the prophet when he receives revelation for the whole church. I bet that's what it felt like.

Every thing here in Eagle Creek is going great. It is a student ward kinda? There is a lot of school med students with young family's that come and get their residency here and after the 3 years they move out.  So far we have about 5-6 families that are moving out and already have 7-8 moving back into the ward by the end of the summer. So hopefully my back heals so I can be of some assistance. I love wards, I forgot how awesome they are.  It's so awesome to have people be able to go out on exchanges with us and to have dinner appointments  enough to feed us. It's been amazing.  I love you all, I hope and pray that all is going well with you and the family. God Speed!
