This week was pretty good.  My new areas are great.  I'm in Pasco which is about 20 minutes from Kennewick.  I get along with my companion.

I saw the pictures from the tornado damage that you sent.  There was a lot of damage.  I must have been weird going to church in your jeans and t-shirts.

The lead singer of a band called Goodnight Argent lives in this area.  He's a member and had us come over t met him on Thursday.  On Saturday we helped him paint his recording studio.  He told us we could come and watch his band do a rehearsal when they get done with a couple of shows this week, so that should be exciting.

I don't have a lot to write about this week.  Hopefully next week.

Have a good week.  I love you.

I had exchanges this past week.  They went pretty good.  I went on exchanges with my district leader.  He came to my area, Brush Prairie and Hockinson.  We stayed pretty busy.

We had a lesson this morning.  It went pretty good.  We taught them the Word of Wisdom.  They said they would live by it.

I finally got your package you sent.  It took 2 weeks to get here!!

I saw Mike and Dads pictures from their fishing trip.  I can't believe they caught over 200 fish.  I bet Skip enjoyed fishing that day.

I got the transfer call Saturday and I'll be going to Pasco.  I've heard that it's a really good ward to be in and it's a high baptizing area.  I've also heard good things about the elders serving there.

I've been able to fit most of my stuff in my suitcases so far.  I think I will be able to get the rest of it in.  I started packing last night.  I didn't realize how much stuff I had.

I can't remember if I told you Happy Mother's Day, last week, but Happy Mother's Day.  Your are the best mom anyone could ask for.  I love you and miss you.  Hope you have a good week.

Love,

I got a letter from Sister Hickey's primary class.  They said that they miss me.  Sister Hickey mentioned that Jacob was crying one day in primary and no one could figure out why.  She asked him what was wrong and he said that he misses his Scott.

I finished the Book of Mormon and I'm now reading the New Testament.  I'm in the Book of Mark.  When I'm finished reading the New Testament I will either read the Book of Mormon again or the Doctrine and Covenants.    Not sure which one yet.

The weather here has been beautiful but some complain that it's hot and it only 80.

We had a real cook experience Saturday.  It's too long to type.  I'll have to tell you about when I call home Sunday.

There is a lot that I want to tell you but my time is short.  I will tell you when I call you Sunday.  I look forward to talking to you then.

I love you.

Love,
