The missionary work has been about the same this week, not too much of a change. We dropped the Ewashen family because we couldn't get in contact with them. They live next to the Bishop. We hope he will keep in contact with them.

Last night we had the opportunity to work with a less active man and his son, Landon. Landon is in his twenties and has never been baptized. We had a really good conversation with him and invited him to play basketball with us on Tuesday nights. He said he was busy that night, but to call anytime we need an extra player.

Ben was out of town this week, but we read and studied Third Nephi 11 with his mother on Monday night. The Blanchards should be back in town and able to get to church with us this next Sunday. We just have to make contact with them his week.

A typical Sunday is waking up and writing my weekly letter to President Rhodes, or reading the lesson that we may be teaching that morning. We arrive at the meeting house about 9 a.m. so we can greet people as they arrive or help where needed. Sacrament meeting begins at 10 a.m. with the other meetings of the block following. We return to our apartment afterward for lunch and a break. We also study for two hours from the missionary library; Preach My Gospel and the standard works. After that we usually go tracting for an hour. Then we go to dinner and visit a few members. We are back at our apartment by 8 p.m. to fill our reports.

Hmm! It's weird to think of my Dad being in the stake high council, but I guess I kind of knew something of the sort would happen eventurally. After all, he is worthy and knows a lot about the Gospel. Congrats Dad.
