I'm on. Are you mom?
Tracy
I am glad I was able to be awake now that you are on. How are you?
Elder D
It's going really good. Everythings getting easier to do. I'm much more comfortable talking to people. We have a lot of potential for baptism soon. And we have someone on date for the 9th.
Tracy
Wow. How is having two companions? And why did you not get your own companion?
Elder D

I love my other companions. They are so much fun and understanding. I've asked them to help me with my speaking and they happily obliged. They turn to me if I haven't said anything and they'll ask me to talk about the Book of Mormon. I feel myself improving all the time. They make tracting so much more fun than it has been before. I can see my Patriarchal Blessing being fulfilled everyday.
The reason for the 3some is more missionaries went home then came out. There a lot of 3somes covering 2 areas for this transfer. But next transfer, there will be 24 missionaries coming out then going home. Who knows, I might be training soon.
Tracy
Don't wish to teach but to be taught. Be humble. If you are having a hard time talking I don't think the Lord can put someone new with you quite yet. Just take that pressure off your mind and just keep learning like you are doing. Being willing to learn will make you a better missionary.so keep on keepin on

Thanks mother. What is the girls name that the "funny Story" happened to? I may know her. If I know who it is it will be much funnier
..........................The story about Landon this week
(Letter sent this week:
My dear missionaries,
I hope all is going well for you both........ I hope you are getting the post cards and other letters. I am trying to send a few a week so you can get some mail. Since Eph is alway wanting some love thru the mail. We met last week here, Brown's, and I had post cards made up so that we could have them write a note if they wanted to. It was fun to see what they joted down.
Dallin has been moving ahead on his Eagel Project and the last of his Merit Badge. .................. Landon is enjoying running and funny story.
He was running with the cross country team. He is not as fast as the rest so he was separated from the pack. He was near the school and he heard this car honking and he looked and saw one of his friend's a senior girl he helped do her culminating project at Christmas time. She was so taking by his "Beauty", as Dallin said, that she ran her car into a stop sign. He ran over there concerned for her, and she said, "My dad is going to be so mad.".,,,,, Do You think! What do you tell your dad when he asked how you ran into the lonely Stop Sign :)) We have enjoyed razing him about that.
................End of letter to Missionaries.)
Landon

"This is murica son," Lou (tranlaton--This is America---I could not understand them-Tracy)
Elder D
Ha! I get into a lot of houses with that phrase.
Tracy
Really. With what phase?
Elder D
When I praise America. The majority of the people I come into contact with are rednecks and love America. We have fun with them but no new investigators come of it.
Landon
If you can talk about Abraham Lincoln when you are in a conversation that might be good to drop in that we are related to him on the Eph Hanks side. They were cousins.
Elder D
I throw it in when I can.
Landon
Mom is taking me back to school so she's not going to email you a few minutes so take this time to write her a letter she wants to know who's on track for baptism so we can keep them in are prayers. and any funny or interesting stories.
Elder D
Duayne S....... is on date for the 9. There's not really much else to write. But there is a family in the ward that Elder Daw and Hogan were in a Nerf war so we've been stoccking up for the next battle. I have a blow dart now. I got to go now. I love you all.
Landon and Tracy
Love you too.
