This week flew by so fast! Elder Hansen and I have been able to work hard in our area and have found a lot of people that we are now teaching. We met a man named drake and he is now on date for baptism! He has kept the commitments we have given him and he is progressing steadily.
The branch president's daughter here in Sanders just got back from her mission and gave her returning talk. A lot of people came, maybe 110 or so. The church was super packed! There was a potluck afterwards, too.
Well, my email time is up. Thanks for reading my email.

Well, I got elder Hansen into playing Magic and we have been playing that a lot.
Food's pretty normal here. I had homemade Chinese food from Elder Hansen that was really good.
It was the delicious kind. I thought I told you that I like Chinese food now! Panda Express is really good stuff.
Did I ever tell you about eating sheep stomach? It was baked on a pan and kinda tasted like weirdly textured sausage. They warned me and I ate it anyway.
We just gave the truck a major washing. Hoping to win the truck competition.

I still don't know too much about the sand. I was told from a member here that they don't only mine sand, but they mine some special kind of clay too. It is used for some beauty products. The clay rests above the sand in the underground areas where they mine it. The same member told me that they have found some dinosaur fossils while mining, and more recently they found a batch fossilized dinosaur eggs. I thought that was pretty neat.
I still chop some wood, yes. Now that the warmer weather is coming along, the wood chopping season will probably be done and over with for a while.
Service is definitely a great teaching opportunity. I have been in more than a few situations where I got to do service for someone and they let us start coming over and teach them.
It is a gift from God to be happy, and it is our choice to take that gift of happiness or set it aside to be miserable. In spite of challenges, an important life lesson to learn is to make the choice to be happy, which is something that I have been practicing just about my whole mission. It helps to see the good in every situation.
Enjoy the snow while you can, I have been missing it basically my whole mission!
I talked with the mission president about phone calls, and he said that I should call every other week, so I decided to take his advice and do so. On occasion I might switch it up a bit, but this is my plan.
