Hey Ma!

Thanks a ton for the package. i know i have an awesome mom when you send me great packages.  the CD's are all allowed. they are pretty good with music. we can listen to instrumental and some other stuff. for example my previous companion got some enya approved. (by the way dont send me enya, she makes me want to take a drill to my ears) and some missionaries have cds that are instrumental soundtracks to movies. one elder has the other side of heaven soundtrack and starwars. and some other ones like brave heart. its pretty cool. its nice to mix things up because you can only take that same church music for so long. oh and thanks for the book of mormon manual. its really nice to have. in answer to your questions. we have been having pretty good lessons. Elder Gamez and I teach really good together the only downside is we dont teach that much. we are trying to find more investigators because they either drop us or they are benched for a while. so we are working on that. we did get a old german lady as an investigator and we had a lesson with her this week. we brought brother rocke who is also german and use to be lutheren like her. we had a really good lesson and she talked about being in germany during the world war and hearing the bombs drop around her. they also had to flee her home town because they here against hitler so it was risky for them to stay there. her brother was also put into a consintration camp. i have been focusing alot on 1 nephi 13 and i think 2 nephi 29. i have spent a lot of time in those two chapters and the cross references there are in them. the thing i was focusing on is how the book of mormon and the bible support eachother and about why we have more scripture and how more is going to come forth in the future. its been pretty good i have been really pulling it apart. and getting really deep into it. its nice to read with ezekiel 37 to learn about the scriptures and the importance of them. i would suggest reading those 3 scripture chapters together and cross referencing all of them to see how they all talk about similar things.

nothing super cool happened this week. oh but i did eat a burger made out of water  buffalo. it was really good. its up there as one of the best burgers i have had. oh by the way when you see jim and jane tell them thank you soo much for the package they sent me back in december. i was going to write them to tell thank you but the way everything worked out at that time i lost there address so yeah.

anyways i have to get heading soon. we are going to hike upper table rock today. a few weeks ago we hiked lower table rock and i will send you pictures of the last time we went.
