Dear Momther,
I love you mom. It's snowing here. I'm not sure if spring will ever come, but it's just been dumping down here. Every time the snow melts, we get another two or three inches. It's crazy. I've been making an object lesson cookbook. It has a bunch of object lessons that we use, and how to make them and do them. It's pretty fun. My new compadre' is Elder Vang. He's from California. His family is Hmong (Laos and Thailand, Hmong are not a recognized nation) And he's super cool. We are currently teaching a lady from Guam. Her name is Luminanda (Lumi for short). She's already been to church once, and is attending the Relief Society Broadcast tomorrow! She's totally Legit! These past couple weeks have been a bit difficult. Stressful would be the better word. We've been doing a lot of finding, and we've seen miracles come from it, it's just hard to adapt to new teaching methods and whatnot. The ward is starting to show more support. Little things here and there are popping up out of the woodwork. But I also have a feeling that I'm going to bee here when the Mission Boundaries change in July. The Fort Wayne Stake and the Muncie Stake will be integrated into the new Ohio Cincinatti Mission on July 1st. Whoever is in those areas when he change happens are going to be integrated into the new mission. But we won't know until then. Elders are typically in columbia city from 4 1/2 to 6 months. One elder was here for 7 1/2 months. Whatever happens, the Lord is in it. For my Birthday, I was wondering if you'd send me out one of those 1st edition Book of Mormon replicas? The orange ones that have no columns or verses. That'd be a lot of fun. I love you so much. talk to ya next week!
