Hey,

Thank you for the email. Spencer, I am excited for you to bear your testimony in front of everyone. You are going to do a very good job. Everyone is going to be proud of you. Im sorry to hear about the Corolla. I was hoping that car would be around when I got back, but i guess its not looking to good. Im thinking you could probably sell it for almost as much as we bought it for, which i think was like 1300. And Annette, I would plant some zucchini, you can make some really good bread out of zucchinies, and maybe you could be the first person to grow some corn at our house.

Well we are doing good in Powhatan. We had a really good Mission conference last Thursday where we learned alot about applying preach my gospel more and improving our study journals. Its amazing how many valuable principles are found in Preach my gospel. It seems like every page is full of ideas that can be applied and ways to improve. And our mission president would like us to get tabs for the notes we have taken so we can organize our thoughts and what we have learned better. So we plan to apply both of those ideas. And also it was good to hear from Elder Pierce and Elder Carter. I love seeing old companions. The lady back in Meadowbrook we were working with named Christine got baptized so that was good news.

Elder Terry and I continue to find new investigators that want to learn but it seems like everyone is so busy and it is really hard to get them to progress. That seeems to be the biggest challenge right now. Mike is still busy with plowing roads but we are finding some other people that have alot of potential. I will tell you more about them if they become solid. We are working hard though and doing all we can to help them get there.

Yesterday we had interviews with our Mission President. I enjoy interviews and I always feel uplifted after them. I really enjoy being around President Millburn. The interview was pretty short though this time and he basically just asked how I was doing. I told him I was doing great. He also always asks how my family is doing so I always tell him you all are doing good too. Im excited for Kyle to enter the Mission field. He is going to do really good. Has Jared turned his papers in yet?

Well thanks again for the email. They are the highlight of my week. Oh and last night it snowed but it wasnt below freezing so it didnt stick at all. Im not sure if more is supposed to come or not. Have a good week.

I love you
Elder Larson
