Hey,

Well I got some good news and some bad news. The bad news is David actually dropped us. Unforunately he took what we taught him to his pastor. I dont know exactly what the pastor told him but as a result David says he cant meet with us anymore and he got rid of the book of mormon we gave him. I couldnt believe it, especially since he was so excited initially and I know he felt something when he had met with us. We asked him if he remembered the way he felt when he had met with us and he said yeah but I cant meet with you anymore. So that was pretty dissapointing. I didnt know what to think.

But the goodnews is Jennifer called us yesterday and set up an appointement with us for tomorrow. So we are praying that we can have a good lesson with her. I think she really wants to learn.

We are also still working with Kevin Anderson. He wasnt at church nor was his family but they still want to come. We usually stop by his house on the weekend so we will go meet with them soon.

So thats what is going on in Powhatan. Its seems like a roller caoster ride sometimes. One day things are going good and the next day they seem to backfire. But we are going to keep working hard and not get discouraged. We have still done alot of finding and we always find people who will accept a pamphlet and will give us their phone number but no one too solid yet. Its hard here because so far we have done all of the finding ourselves. And its difficult for people to make commitments when they dont have friends to help them and back them up. We are working on getting the members more involved and having them share the gospel. Its so much better if they share the gospel because the investigators have support. The members here are all nice and love feeding us and hopefully we can get them to do more missionary work.

James: Well that is interesting news! A motorcycle. lol. What makes you want a motorcycle? How much do you plan on spending? I could see you wanting a motorcycle you were always the daredevil in the family. Those are pretty dangerous though. You will have to let me know how it goes. And definitely send me pictures.

Kyle: Yeah finals week is always good. I liked it because we got out early. Thats the best part. Im sure you willl do good on your tests. Just dont worry about them and you will do fine. I will pray for you on Tuesday. So what else is going besides school? Do you still hang out with Matt alot? Or do you have any fun teacher quorum activities coming up?

Annette: Good job on getting the dog house done. Im sure Cubby will enjoy having his own house. So you are already planning your birthday? I think a hamster would be a great present. You should name it Freddie. Or Snowflake.

Spencer: How are you doing Spencer? So is there alot of snow in Spokane? I wish I could go ice skating with you. That would be alot of fun. After you go you should tell me about it.

Well thank you all for writing me. I enjoy finding out what is going on. And Dad your stories always inspire me.... And I too know that the church is true and that all the doctrines and principles it contains are true. Have a good week and I will talk to next Wednesday.


Love,
Elder Larson
