Dear pops,

This week was good and bad for us. Saturday i got sick with some kind of virus that went through. Fortunately its just a cold thing. Then that same day we found out that i needed to go to Salvador on Monday to renew my visa and register my companion with the federal police. Then we got a call from President that my short term missionary would go home that day. It was good and bad news. He is a likeable guy with drive to work and learn. He was impeding progress of my greenie a little so it´s good to have just two of us now. So yesterday we got invited to get a free ride half of the way to Salvador to attend a special meeting with president Hart. From there we learned of multi stake goals and plan of action and watched some good videos from the church. Then we hitched a ride with President and left the short term missionary with other Elders. He left today and we got home at 7 from Salvador. Now that we have the whole time to focus on the ward and not so much on the training of the two greenies we are ready to go full speed to get the ward back into gear.

I am really  glad you guys got to experience the adventure camp. That sounds like such a fun time. I would have loved to come. I am excited to come back home. I never thought i would miss mountains or cool weather so much. It truly is a blessed place.

I cant believe that emma is driving already! That is a crazy thought. It will be good to have our whole family independent though. Other than what was stated above nothing really happened this week.

Love you dad thanks for the support
