I am sitting in my big desk chair. We have 3 black lights up and the lava lamp going. We have fog all over the place from some dry ice that a family gave us in the ward. I am wearing scrubs, and Elder House, Dennis, Jensen and I are all playing a game called "Bang." I just got out, so I decided to write you a letter. Funny thing about being an Elder on halloween... we have to be in by 7:00 pm. President Cutler doesn't want us out trick-or-treating or being out when there are possible drunk drivers everywhere. So, since Elder Jensen and Elder Dennis live just a few doors down from us in the same complex, we got permission to hang out with them tonight. So, super fun Halloween!

We just recently had Elder Snow tour our mission. He's a member of the second seventy. So he came and spoke at a big Austin Zone conference He talked a lot about receiving personal revelation from the Holy Ghost AKA God. Because the Holy Ghost is part of the Godhead. So, if we feel the spirit, we are clean and forgiven. It was all about taking the next step to be worthy of revelation . It was great. The next day was ZLC. It was different this time because he was here. He drove down to San Antonio to council with him for 2 hours. We talked about how our areas should be the model areas. We should be able to take other elders ino our area and they should be able to see how to fix their area. He said if we do it this way, we wil have a prophetic mission. We'll baptize 100s a month, instead of just 100. It should take only a couple of weeks. We'll see how it goes. It was really nice and I'm way excited.

There's not much else to tell you about my week. i was sick the whole time. We wond tri-zone dodge ball. Our zone is the best!

I LOVED hearing about your scripture study. I'm in Mosiah 8. It's the first time Ammon and Limhi are talked about. I love Ammon. He is the Ultimate Love/Bold/Committing missionary. I feel more like him than any other BOM hero. Terrible guy that turns around and just shows love. I do feel like him, and Alma. I love the work!

My most memorable tracting experience was finding Chris and Jerome. Their kids are Crazy! Yelling and screaming. She almost didn't let us in. We didn't think she's remember one thing because her kids were being so crazy. But she felt the spirit and knew it was true.
