Things are going pretty good here.  I am feeling better but a couple of days later my companion got sick.  Needless to say last week was very long.

Yesterday we had training with a member of the 2nd Quorum of the Seventy.  The training was on how to teach more simply and gave us list of 4 things that our investigators to know.  They are;
1. That God and Jesus both appeared to Joseph Smith
2. The Book of Mormon is the word of God
3. Jesus Christ is the Savior of the world and
4. The Priesthood has been restored

Hopefully we will be able to use what was talk and be able to teach more simply.

We were able to meet with Larry last week but Justin was busy.  Larry told us that Justin had a dream that he was a member of the Church.  Justin also hasn't been reading like we would like him to and he hasn't been able to come to church yet, so we will have to see what we can do to help him.

My workouts are getting harder because it's getting cold.  The other day we did go for a bike ride up a canyon that is by our apartment.  It was all up hill.  We did find a trail to ride, there were a lot of switchbacks and was looking out over the valley.  I realized how out of shape I am.  I'll have to work on that.

The members are feeding us pretty good.  I am trying to cut back on what I eat at dinner and it's working pretty well.  As of right now we don't have an appointment for Thanksgiving but I think that will change before long.

I do have another package I will be sending home soon.  I'll be sending home a couple of jackets and some long sleeve shirts that I don't need right now.  I will also be sending home another binder full of letters.

That is pretty much my week.

I love you.

Love,
Scott
