Hey Mom,

Things are going pretty well with us here in plainfield. we have both been sick again this week. i am getting so stinking tired of being sick this is week 4-5 of being sick this transfer. But the bad thing is that it is really effecting the work. It is really frustrating. Even tho the week wasn't that good i had a lot of fun. On Monday we had an amazing lesson with Gabby and she is doing awesome, we have invited her to go with us to some lessons that we will be having in the coming weeks to young teenagers that we are teaching. Elder Tatton and i both strongly felt the urge to take her to some of the lessons that we are going to have. She is great! On Tuesday we did a bunch of tracting and didnt have very much success in doing so. later in the evening we had a lesson with Jessica, it was amazing we set a baptismal date for November 1, and she is extremely excited about that! The lesson was amazing the spirit was super strong and she know that she is on the right path in life. after the lesson she gave us both haircuts... not to shabby but i do have a couple of spots that are not the best, but oh well, she is doing great she also came to church yesterday and is doing great she has been making some changes to quit smoking in her life. On Wednesday i was able to go on exchanges with my buddy Elder Nash. dad, you might know his dad, he is something in bingham county for agriculture. but it was alot of of fun we had some sweet lessons and i was able to do a baptismal interview for them. after the exchange we were waiting for elder tatton and elder Jones. we made a bucking bull with a rope and a workout ball. it was alot of fun he did high school rodeo and it was just fun. i have a video of it and i will send it home its funny. we are still teaching Katrina she is doing great she is sooo ready to be baptised and she wants to so so bad, but her mother doesn't want her to yet she doesn't feel like she is ready, but Katrina is 15 and has been wanting to be baptised since she was 8. so this week we are going to take our bishop over to the lesson and he is going to talk to her and hope fully she will change her mind. We are also teaching a couple Bruce and Cindy, they are awesome, unfortunately i have never had a lesson with them when ever we have one that is set up i just so happen to be on exchanges with a member from our district. bu they are doing awesome, we have placed copy's of the book of Mormon and they have read through 1st nephi and are going to continue on with it and to make things better, they have also been praying about it. its amazing, they will be baptised. that's about all that we have done, sister Hickman finally had her twins and so it is a little bit difficult to get the new member lessons for Andrew and to be able to teach Nathan as well but it is totally understandable with twins. they are both healthy and doing great. we are still a little sick but we are both doing better and hopefully we will continue to improve. i hope all continues to go well with everyone at home. i love you all.
