Hello Family!!,

Things were really well this week!  Purdue is still dead kinda, most of the students do go home for the summer, there is still a little bit that will stay for summer school but not a whole lot. So things there are still a little slow in that area.  We had a fantastic experience this week. First off I had an over night leadership conference. It was a full day of jammed packed trainings from President Collins and the zone leaders. It was amazing. I realized at the conference that I am the Sr. district leader, Kinda like Sr. apostle. I have been in the longest. So that is pretty exciting. After that spiritual feast, we were assigned a new companion for the day and a new area for the night. believe it or not I was assigned to an area in my last district. That was amazing, I was able to go back to Plainfield and do some work there. It was great I felt that I was home. We went over and talked to the family that we worked with on the horse farm. The only down side was that we didn't have too much time to visit every one on my list, we could of kept really really busy with all my old friends there. The following day we had the 1st mission conference in the history of my mission, where all the missionaries met together to be trained... By Elder Neal L. Andersen, From the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. It was Fantastic!!  I was Tickled Pink to hear that my Homecoming Talk was About the Atonement, For the reason of, That is what Elder Andersen Trained us about. Needless to say I am stoked for that privlage. Things are looking up with us here. things are getting a little better for our companionship, still a little rough but it is getting there.  So we also had a rude awakining coming in last night to a Whole Family of skunks in our back yard. A mom, a dad and 2 little baby skunks...... This is very Unfortunate. You might be getting a video of us trying to trap them. Our ward mission leader bought us a live trap and left it up to us to catch them.... This will be intresting. Any ways I love you all and I hope that you all have a great week and enjoy the fresh air!!
