April 29


Well it was a very busy week out here in Brandenburg. First off we got our transfer news and surprise I'm staying another transfer in Brandenburg and Elder Colling will still be my companion. This will make three transfers with him so he is going to pass Elder Clawson as my longest companion. Well this week we Blitzed both Corydon's area and English it was fun and both areas will be losing one of the missionaries that were in them so we will have some different missionaries in the district this coming week. This weekend we were also able to take part in a mini MTC with the Louisville stake. So we were paired up with a couple of the youth and I had two deacons as my companions. Then Friday night we had three short classes to teach about relying on the spirit with them. Then on Saturday morning we stayed at another missionaries place but we met with the youth and had a companionship study and personal study, then ultimately we took them out teaching with us to a real investigator then we knocked some doors with them to show them what tracting was like. It was pretty fun and it was a great learning experience for the youth too. I don't remember doing anything like it while I was a teen. The youth really enjoyed it and we ended with a testimony meeting that really made me see why the age change took place. The youth are getting stronger testimonies earlier in life and they are truly being prepared to serve. At this event I was able to see a few of my past comps like Elder Fry, and Elder Tolman, who will be going home this week which is so crazy to think since it really has been awhile since we were together, but we were both so young at that time. I also saw Elder Haws who is doing well also. It was just a fun weekend. Now it is time to buckle down again and really push it hard in our area. This transfer should be a very good one for us here. The work has started to really pick up lately so I'm excited to see it continue to grow.
Well presto well done. I'm excited for you and I will make my guess where you are going next week.
Bryson tear it up on the field and have fun, no worries man. in a Jamaican accent 
Olivia remember to have fun and smile and thanks for the letter. I'll work on a response soon.
And all of you finish strong in school Just about a month or so left I believe.

Well I hope all of you have a wonderful week and that all goes well.

4/22

It was a pretty busy week here and it just all flew by so quickly. Our weather has gone back and forth a bit but that is now to be expected out here. Nothing too serious though I haven't seen any swirling clouds this year yet. This week we had our interviews with President and it went really good. He didn't say whether I'll be staying or leaving next week but he did drop a hint that I will probably have another assignment to look forward too. So my dads in B-burg might be coming to a close. Well we also had an exchange with our zone leaders this weekend and I got to work back in Jeffersonville, Indiana, which just so happens to be the location of my first exchange back in the second week on the mission. It was pretty good and it starts to really bring back some memories from the beginning. The best part of the exchange was the very end we got to stay in Jeff which is right across the river from Louisville and right next door to New Albany and Watch Thunder over Louisville. Which just happens to be the biggest firework show in North America I believe. It was pretty awesome. I even saw a few people from the New Albany ward which made it even better. Overall it was a fun and exciting week. This Saturday we will find out the transfer news and we will see what happens.

Well I love all of you and hope you enjoy the rest of this month.

Love,

4/15

Hello everyone!

how is everyone doing? This was a pretty busy week here in B-burg. Last week for P-day we were able to go to English, Indiana to hang with the district again. It was fun and I wish we were closer to each other sometimes oh well. This week we also had a Zone Meeting so I was back in New Albany for the day and it is always interesting to be there again. It was kind of weird to give a training where I had my first district meeting and I was so quiet back then. It was a real change of roles and gave me another opportunity to reflect on how much has changed throughout my mission. The rest of the week turned into quite a bit of finding which was needed. A few of our current investigators are getting pretty stagnant so it is always good to have some fresh peeps to teach. We also blitzed Corydon this weekend and I gave my first baptismal interview which was pretty sweet. We had a solid day up there just like it seems we always do on a blitz for some reason. Well we are now on week 5 of this transfer so just a couple weeks left till we find out the next transfer news.
 
So presto is now 18 what a big boy ha. 18, 17, 20 it all feels the same well except for the fact I'm not at home at the moment.

Well I hope all of you have a wonderful week and let me know if I can do anything and I will try my best.

Love

4/8

Well this week was all one big blur that just ended with a pretty good conference. We worked a lot with the members here this week and this is definitely the area that has fed me the most. Surprisingly I'm still not gaining any weight. We have been working a lot on Fort Knox with the part member families that live there. This ward is all part member and a big portion is because of the army. Well I really liked conference and hope you enjoyed it as well. We watched most of the sessions at our church building and one of the sessions at a part-member family's place. It was pretty interesting to see so many general authorities speak that I have had the opportunity to meet on my mission. those that I've met out here include L. Tom Perry, Quentin L. Cook, L. Whitney Clayton, Christoffel Golden Jr., and Bruce D. Porter. Before my mission I can't recall meeting any general authorities and I never really thought that I would ever meet so many. The mission has blessed me in more ways than one.
Well I love you and hope you have a wonderful week.
Happy B-day Presto! big 18 you are finally a man ha.
Love
