Hey Mom,
Thanks for the email! So things have been doing fairly good as far as the work is concerned. We have a family of 4 hopefully getting baptized next month. They are a great family. Hopefully another family of 4 will also be baptized as well next month but they are super indecisive.
So as for things that have happened this week, we went to a part members home last Monday on our p-day because my companion signed me up to make cinnamon rolls for them, which I wasnt too happy about because that pretty much took up our entire pday. So that happened and then I was feeling pretty sick for the rest of the day. We had dinner with our Stake President Monday too which was pretty intense because he is a super intimidating guy. We could honestly probably start up a branch with all the people he has offended with his bluntness. But he is a really good Stake President. Supposedly he is one of the top 10 surgeons in the world. But that't just what we have been told.
We had some awesome lessons this week. We were teaching Troy and Mona and their daughters Kylee and Rylee a few times this week. It was great to see how the gospel had been bringing their family together and listening to them as they read the Book of Mormon and pray as a family. It was a great experience. They all came to church this week too. It's fun to have their principal as our ward mission leader because they are so excited to have him come to their house with "the mormons"
I'm not sure how it is back home but everyone in our zone seems to be trading off being sick. Lots of them with the flu.
So this week I got to go on 2 exchanges this week one with the Coquille elders and one with the Florence elders.
I went to Coquille to be with Elder Griffin. We had a pretty good exchange because we went to a small town they cover called Powers which is an hour away. They had a referral to go teach someone that lives there so we went to have our first lesson. He was a pretty nice guy but kinda crazy at the same time. He lives on a farm a few miles outside of town. He started talking to us about government conspiracies and the cure for cancer. He has been reading the Book of Mormon and said that he would like to join the church. But won't yet because he is involved in some legal complexities and won't join till after they are over with. That way he can pay a full tithe. After the lesson we went to Powers to try and visit some less actives. Powers is now the smallest town I have been in ever. There are about 300 people that live in Powers and we couldn't even find the town center really. We had to take a bathroom break and the only place open was a tiny cafe that had some awesome pie.

The next day we had district meeting and then I went up to Florence to be with Elder Bagley. It was a pretty fun exchange. We taught a kinda crazy weird old lady which was fun. Florence is a big retirement community so they don't really have too much going on. They might be getting sisters soon.
I don't know what my assignment is but President called me on Thursday and today, asked me a few questions and told me that I will probably be training in a new area. But transfers can change often so I will let you know next week.
Anyways I got to get going but hopefully I will be able to email you next week.
