February 11th Letter

Baptism of Tanner with his parents
Me and the nerf gun. STUCK THE CEILING YAY!!!

ME!!

Life is good here! Nothing too too exciting. We had the baptism of Tanner Wilson this last saturday and that was an amazing experience. He's a great kid, acts way older than his age (15) and was so excited.
It was a great experience. Its definitely a different experience being in a small town and stuff. We aren't really allowed to tract, seeing as everyone in Taber is either LDS or Anti. So yeah. I guess Taber's been closed down to missionaries every now and then because people have physically chased them out! ALRIGHT!!! Sounds like I've got some adventures up ahead! We do a lot of service and stuff down here, in the springtime we'll get to BRAND COWS! I can't even describe how excited i am for that. There's a lot of missionaries out from this stake, and the parents are always so kind to us! (you better be doing the same thing!) There's an extended care place for geriatrics (old people) and we do a sacrament meeting there every Sunday, and i gave a talk on having Charity in trials, D&C 123:15(?) and we then took a lady the sacrament in her room because she wasn't able to get out of bed, and we sang for her, and she was so grateful! It was very touching. Elder Herrera is a fun kid, he's from Worcester Massachusetts, and is from the very ward where Fred Nelson is serving right now! That was a neat coincidence! Well, this church is true and i am SO pumped to be out here. It's a great work, and I'm proud to be a part of it. I love you and pray for you!
Elder Crippen
