From Mom:
Hi Dallin,
1. did you get my package with shoes and sd card?
2. Are you living in an apartment?
3. Are you living with other elders as well? We are getting a lot done. I wish I could email you the pic of the rock wall that Dad and Beau are finally putting up. It looks really nice. It's kind of like a second Eagle project for both Beau and Dad. I mowed the lawn for the first time and had to use 10 leaf garbage bags plus the garbage bins. It took about 2.5 days.
Dad left for Seattle today for recurrent training. Beau went to prom last night and was nominated for prom king. He didn't get it but we went up there anyway to take pics. He had a good time. We haven't even celebrated his 18th b-day yet because we have been so busy. We can't wait for general conference this weekend.
You will probably go to a members home or to the stake center. We will be thinking about you.
I know you have limited time for email. Please let me know if you want me to cancel the shoe order. I can see by your bank acct that you had to buy a bike and something sort of expensive at Dillards. I assume this was for shoes. I hope you get a good lock for the bike. It looks like it has been really nice weather there. Everything else is going fine.
I will try to get another email to you tomorrow from work. We are praying for you and your companions.
We are also praying about our own missionary work. Let me know about your shoes.
Love you lots!
Mom
Dal's Response:
Hey!
It was an AMAZING WEEK! Matt set his baptismal date for April 21st. I'm
probably going to confirm him the next day. We invited a lady we met
while waiting for the bus to Iowa City. We never got the bus ha! We just
stood there and talked to her for an hour. Her name is Deedle, and she
loved everything we taught her. I was prompted to invite her to
baptism (should have seen the look on my companions face). She was like
"yeeah I feel like I been lookin fo somethin, so if I get that answer I
certainly will." We promised her that our church was it and she is coming
to conference! We are preparing two cat ladies for the temple, and I have
really grown to love them, and their cats.
THE HIGHLIGHT: Last week we randomly tracted this house and the lady told
us come back another time. We did and her husband answered that time, and
he said come back another time. We did on Sunday. She reluctantly came to
the door and came out on the porch. She stood there for 45 minutes in the
hot sun engrossed in what we were saying, we had prayer and everything! She
set a date for her baptism, May 5, but we will probably move it to April
28th. She was really skeptical until I told her in Joseph Smith's words the
first vision. The spirit hit her hard at that point. Her husband will
probably follow suit. Their names are Jeremy and Shae. She totally did not
even seem like a potential investigator, this work is amazing. We don't
have the car this week so we are hoofing it, and I washed these washable
slacks and half of them's hems came apart. Missionary Mall sucks...
So: 2 investigators with baptismal dates, 2 temple preps,4 new
investigators(assuming Jeremy takes the lessons)
I guess we are leading the zone(not to brag just sayin). New
missionary power! Elder Winchester has only been out four months.
To answer your questions:
Yes I got the package. Thank you so much for the card! We plowed through
all the treats already! Yes I am living in a really nice apartment, but the
AC struggles. Sits around 75 in our apartment. We have the apartment to
ourselves. The areas around here are massive, ours especially (Iowa city 1st
ward and Belle Plain branch). I got permission from President Jergensen to
call the missionary mall because I got a bad case of athletes foot, due to
the hotness of those winter boots. I cured it with some crap you rub on
there this week. Anyway, I cancelled the shoes and i do not know where they
were refunded. I bought some eccos from Dillards. So so so much of an
improvement in my life because of the new shoes. I am buying a bike today
because our apartment is a thirty minute walk from the boundaries of our
area, stupid right?
Love you guys!

Oh I'd bet the yard looks amazing! It is super green here, and there are no
pine trees. Beau is such a stud! I wish I could go back to highschool and
be him. I am so proud of him. Happy birthday you old geezer! Dad loves
training so he should be very happy about that :).
