February 19th Letter

helloo! Life is going good! Especially because this is basically going to be the best pday ever. I have 4 other elders with me! my whole district is here, and the zone leaders. The wanted to kick it with us, so thats real neat. I'm glad to hear some news about nanny. Tell her hi for me and that i love her! I'm happy for you that you get to have collin in the home. You're no longer empty nesters! I told some other missionaries that i have a little brother and iit was fun watching their reaction. Yikes about the insurance! haha i'll be sure to be careful. Its funny, cuz as we were walking around earlier we were joking about trains. There's a prominent railway that goes right through Taber. Sometimes they're really long and if you're trying to get to the other side of town it takes forever!!! haha pin the transfer? How's that gonna work out? Its funny, because i was thinking about the Olympian friend too. and i haven't heard from breanna in awhile.. Mail is REALLY slacking here. It was coming strong, and then just stopped. There's only a few people i still hear from. Haha, krank, its actually kronk, for the emperors new groove. I have many nicknames here in the mission: Crippen-dor (harry potter), Mr. Incredible, Kronk, Cripptorious, Old man crippen, Clark Kent, and stuff. The article that Jayni sent me was something her grandpa put together. Its AMAZING. It really helps with missionaries and stuff. Talks about the importance of the Holy Ghost and how to resolve concerns with investigators. I've already used it a lot. Its pretty sweet. i"ll see what i can do about getting the movies to you.


The work here in Taber has really taken off these last few weeks. we've found some cool people, and hopefully will be setting baptismal dates tonight! We have about 4 people that could be baptized this transfer, they just have concerns with spouses or other matters like that. But I've been thinking a lot about this great opportunity i have right now. I only have 17 more months of this! Time if flying and I'm so glad that i have this time. It only comes once! Much love to everyone!
