Yea sorry I sent the letter in the mail on Friday... it was sitting on my desk and I forgot to send it out Monday! But you should get it today, its a good one. Not much has happened this week, its ganna be a short letter. We had a huge ice storm, there was a 2 inch layer of ice on everything, EVERYTHING, its was crazy walking down the sidewalk, I've learned how to balance myself on ice now hahah.... we had like 40 people at church yesterday cause the weather was so bad, I'm definitely glad you got me the thermals, I can wear each thermal for 2 days, so it lasts me the week. The spiced cider is so good, oh a member was wondering if California sells that stuff year round? Don't know why...
Anyways, things have been going really well, we've found 4 new investigators this week which is exciting! we had to drop one cause he read anti instead of the Book of Mormon.... "He's like I cant believe we have a heavenly mother!"
No non-member knows about deep doctrine without reading anti... its soo annoying hearing that. Its like a 1st grader trying to learn geometry, of course its not going to make sense! You don't see a 500lb fat guy running 20 miles without starting somewhere!
Its been interesting learning and discussing some of the deeper doctrine of the church with my companion, have you read the King Follett discourse? Joseph Smith goes into things I never even thought of, but it makes sense!
I'm definitely grateful for you all and your love and support you show for me, tell Adam to I love him!
Enjoy the Weather!

P.S. oh by the way, look up a picture of a "Wood Duck" its like the coolest duck I've ever seen before, there pretty rare, we saw one the other day, its wicked sick!
The Wood Duck is very cool and I have actually never read the King Follett discourse. It was a very interesting read. Here are the links to the text if your interested:
- The King Follett Sermon Part 1 - From the LDS.org Library, Ensign April 1971.
- The King Follett Sermon Part 2 - From the LDS.org Library, Ensign May 1971.
