Hey,
..... I did get your package. It was yesterday and we got home for the night and we always go get the mail, and I didnt get any letters, which is pretty common, but then we were walking up the stairs to the apartment and there was a box infront of the door with my name on it. :) Thank you very much. I liked it alot. I had forgotten how much I loved chex mix. That was my favorite snack. :) And thank you for the letters. I enjoyed reading them. In Kempsville we are doing great. We have been following up with alot of the referrals from Gladys Knight. Many of the packages have been delivered, and almost all of them have agreed to meet with missionaries. So we have been stopping by their house and trying to contact them. Its been a little bit slow because for the most part they didnt give us phone numbers, and since we are on bike we can only stop by once every couple days, and it usually has to be in the middle of the day when alot of people arent home. So we are still trying to get ahold of alot of people. But the people we have contacted are doing great, they have all said they are interested and want to learn more. Its exciting. We are trying to set up appointments with them so we can teach them. There are alot of cool investiagtors here too.

There is this one couple named John and Sally Moore. They are my favorite so far. They are pretty old, like seventies, but they understand what we are teaching them and enjoy it. They are pretty feisty though, especially Sally, Sally told us if we tried to push her she would slap us. Lol, it was funny. And they live right next to a lake and John is taking courses to become a lifeguard, even though he is really old. They are funny, but we are looking forward to having them come to General Conference. We had a good lesson on the Restoration with them. And also I dont know if I mentioned this last time but our comapnionship is a threesome, and we have another missionary named Elder White. Who is really funny and I like him alot. He actually replaced me in Meadowbrook, so he was companions with Elder Pierce after I left. So we had alot to talk about and we get along great. We all do. I really like my companionship, its my favorite one so far on my mission.

Also I was wondering if you could do me a favor. I am convinced that I lost my camera battery charger. I cant find it at all, and now I have left Powhatan so if it was there somewhere I am not going to find it. At least not soon. So I was wondering if you could use my account to buy me another one online and have it sent out to me. That way I can start taking pictures again. My camera is a Sony Cybershot and the model is Dsc T-20. It is 8.1 megapixels. The charger looks like a black square that you plug into the wall and it has a slot for a battery. I guess maybe the battery information is more important than the camera information. The battery is a Lithium Ion NP-BG1 . If you cant find it dont worry about it, or if you have questions you can send them to me and I can answer them next week. But I would like to get a new one soon so I can start taking pictures again with my own camera. Thanks.

Thank you for the email. Im glad you had a good time in Idaho. Its always good to see family. Have a good week. Im happy and loving being here in Kenpsville.

I love you
Elder Larson
