Hi Dallin,
How was your week? We loved the pics of you and Dave! So happy that you get to work together. I'm sure your area will get a fresh look at missionary work with you two taking care of it.
Relax about your new responsibility. You are doing exactly what the Lord wants you to do and He will provide the tools for you to use to be the most effect ZL you can be. I spoke with Sister Jergensen. She will help you get the MD attention to get an RX. You can start at a lower dose, if you want. I hope it quiets your anxiety/sleep issues. If so, then that is the tool that will help you in your calling.
We had a great Sunday. We went to Tim's farewell. Rachel and LIzzy sang, "Jesus was no Ordinary Man." It was so sweet-they could not finish because they were too emotional. Tim's talk was great. I skyped Beau while TIme was talking :):) Beau could hear the talk. Tim talked about his experiences with Beau in Alaska-out on the ocean when the skiff broke and they were totally scared. He said he always sings hymns when he is in difficult situations. He also talked about his experience on Granite Peak with you and Aaron. It was a really spritual meeting. He is going to be a great missionary.
We also had the Turley funeral. It was very nice. The Bishop talked about how much Bro Turley loved Sis. Turley. When he was in the nursing home, he always worried that someone could take Frieda to get her "feathers fluffed." ( her hair done) So cute. Big family. Funerals are a bummer, but the always remind me about how important families are and the covenants we make so we can be together.
It's cold here and I know that it has been chilly there. Do you need anything? YIKES! I forgot you need garment tops. I promise-this week I can get over there. It was -38 degrees at the cabin this weekend!!
Well, all is well here. Dad is almost finished with the little house. I'm sure he'll send pics. Chels and Jordan are moving into another apartment. Norah is almost 1 year old!! Angie is very uncomfortable as she goes into these last few weeks of pregnancy. We are very blessed.
We love you-hope you have a great week this week!

Hey Mom!
It's always so good to hear from you. I love you so much. Thanks for carefully writing me.
It has been a busy week! We drive a lot. This week we had a Zone Meeting in Osceola. A zone meeting is about 3 hours long. The whole zone gets together and discusses every area, every investigator, and every way we can improve. They are monthly, and this month President Jergensen was there with his wife. I love them so much. They remind me of the Tall grandparents. We gave a training on becoming conduits of the Spirit by putting off the natural man. We discussed goals, and how to achieve them. President trained on last year's 400 success, and how the Savior comes in the "fourth watch"....which in Hebrew culture is like saying at the last minute, after all we can do. We also had Stake Coordination in Des Moines with President Pentz (Des Moines stake), and Presidnt Jergensen. The Des Moines Stake is massive. It was a bit crazy...There are two presidents who hold all the keys for the gathering of scattered Israel for their sphere, and then there were Elder Purcell and I and one other set of zone leaders. Stake coordination is cool because it really helps the units improve their work.
As for our area we are being blessed despite how busy we are. It causes us to refine and refocus, so we get a lot done in a little time. We set dates with four 19 year olds. Two of them are married. Their names are Madison, Ray, Shylee, and Jake. They came to church yesterday and loved it! I pray that we can continue to see them progress. We have a solid baptismal date with Karina Stewart. She even found the church on her trip to Marshalltown and attended by herself! She is set for the 26th.
We are having a lot of fun doing the Lord work, and I am so grateful.
I am still memorizing scriptures daily. Today I memorized Moroni 7:42-48.
I love that passage...probably my favorite in the scriptures.
Yes I am bit stressed, but it will work out.
I love you!
Elder Tall
