Hi Dallin!
 
How was your week? Are you working hard?  How do you like being a trainer?  Will you still be a trainer when you get transferred?  Are you feeling the effects of Hurricane Sandy?  That was quite the storm.
 
Before I forget, I know that I'm thinking way in the future, but I'm hoping you can ask your president if you can go on googleplus at some point to set up what is called "google circle."  It's better than skype.  If we use circles at Christmas time then all of us can talk and see each other at the same time.  Dad, Beau and I will be out at Angie's for Christmas.
 
So, is this transfer week?  Are you looking forward to a change?  I think it will be great for you to have a new area to work in. 
 
Dad is done with his big job in Melstone. He says to tell you hi.  He had to teach the High Priest Group yesterday.  I am following Dad's example and we fast for the full 24 hours.  It has made a huge difference in my focus and spirituality.  We fasted for Scott Manwaring yesterday.  He is Aunt Lynn's son-in law.  They found a small brain tumor on Friday.  Keep them in your prayers.  How are you doing at fasting.  The boy I remember used to get serious fasting headaches.  Have been able to push through that?
 
Dad got two deer.  I'm sure he'll send you pics.  Mason is working for him almost full-time and he is a good worker.  I'm trying to make a quilt. What a joke.  No wonder we have Dillards. 
 
Anyway, we love you so much.  Keep laughing and working hard!  You are being so blessed and so are we.
 
Love you!

Hey Mom!

This week was a bit of a let down. We haven't been able to get in with Ken, and Denise called to tell us she would no longer be baptized because she couldn't commit. Ken is reading the Book of Mormon though, and Denise said she was going to keep reading it. Ken is still progressing though, he is just way busy. 

We get transfer calls this saturday. I love being a trainer. Elder Musick and I have so much fun. He gets cold when its like 40 degrees out, so winter will be funny. "bro..I think my butts frozen to my bike seat" ha. I would love to train again, and since we will have a surge of 100 missionaries by next year, Im sure I will get to again. I really don't know what is coming next but I'm excited for whatever it is (predicting transfers has never been profitable so far on the mission ha). 

Fasting has become easier, but I do still get headaches. It helps remind me of what Im fasting for though :). 

So we had a great dinner at the Deckers last night and they had some less actives and non members there. We had a great talk about the Doctrine of Christ. I thought teaching large groups would be so hard for me, but Heavenly Father has kept his promise and made weak things become strong. I sometimes prefer to teach large groups. The Deckers tell me that their son Kenyon is loving Poulsen Montana, and they are having great success up there!

This week I have just enjoyed missionary work as I have tried to find comfort in the Spirit and doing the Lords will. 

I love you and pray for you to have missionary experiences every day!
