DEAR FAMILY,

WELL THIS WEEK HAS BEEN PRETTY CRAZY. I CAN'T REMEMBER THE THINGS WE DID. THERE WERE SO MANY! ON HALLOWEEN WE BOUGHT SOME CANDY AND BAGS AND PUT THE CANDY IN THE BAGS WITH A NOTE FOR EACH OF OUR INVESTIGATORS. WE TOOK IT OVER TO THEM AND THEY WERE VERY HAPPY TO SEE US.

WE MET CARSON CHECKETTS IN SEPTEMBER AND HE WAS BAPTIZED ON THE 24TH OF OCTOBER. HE HAD SOME FAMILY THAT WERE MEMBERS, HE JUST NEVER REALLY HAD ANYONE ASK IF HE WANTED TO BE BAPTIZED.

WELL I MIGHT BE GETTING TESTED FOR SLEEP APNEA. MY COMPANION HAS BEEN WAKING ME UP FOR THE PAST MONTH TO TELL ME TO BREATH. SO I FINALLY CALLED SISTER OLSEN AND TOLD HER. SHE SENT THE MISSION DR. TO ASSESS THE SITUATION AND DECIDE ON AN ACTION. HE WILL BE TALKING TO THE MISSION PRESIDENT TO GET THAT APPROVED. SO I WILL TELL YOU WHEN I HEAR.

I AM GLAD TO HEAR THAT THE YOUNG MEN ARE PUTTING IN THEIR PAPERS. THEY WILL BE GOOD MISSIONARIES. I CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR WHERE THEY ARE CALLED TO.

IT IS GOOD TO KNOW THAT THE BAPTISMAL CANDIDATE IS STILL PROGRESSING. I AM ALSO VERY HAPPY THA TYOU ARE RECIEVING JOBS TO DO FOR RMLUNT CONSTRUCTION.

THERE IS THIS COUPLE THAT WE ARE TEACHING, JOE AND SKYLA CHRISTENSON. THEY HAVE SOME INTERESTING BELIEFS. SKYLA IS BAHAI. IT IS INTERESTING TO HEAR WHAT THEY BELIEVE. IT IS VERY SIMILAR TO US EXCEPT THEY BELIEVE SEVERAL PEOPLE WERE PROPHETS. THOUGH INSPIRATIONAL PEOPLE, THEY ARE NOT PROPHETS (MUHAMMAD, GHANDI, BUDDAH). I HAVE BEEN THERE ALMOST EVERY WEEK IN THIS AREA. AS FOR JOE, I COULD SEE HIM BEING BAPTIZED WITHIN A YEAR. HE ACTS LIKE HE KNOWS NOTHING BUT HE GIVES BETTER EXPLANATIONS OF THE SCRIPTURES THAN I CAN SOMETIMES GIVE. I CAN'T WAIT TO INTRODUCE YOU ALL TO THEM.

I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH,
ELDER LUNT
