Awesome Zone Conference

Hey mom, alright let me get the questions out of the way first and then I'll tell you how my week went.  Zone conference was awesome, very spiritually uplifting. I thought it was going to be a rebuking from president telling us everything we're doing wrong. It was nothing like that.  There was nothing but love in zone conference.  It was awesome.  I have no idea who those other two elders were.  They aren't even in my zone.  We had a bunch of different zones in our mission gather at zone conference.

I didn't get to talk to president about my issues.  I figure he doesn't want to listen to me complaining my first transfer.  I let him know that I was having difficulty, but I didn't give him details.  So I just told him I'll do what I can first before I go to the president.  That's what I'm doing.  As of late the companionship is looking up.  We're actually laughing together and starting to horse around and stuff, I just wish he was more motivated.  I want to go out and WORK.  I want to come home exhausted but know that I worked hard today.    But as for getting along with each other, things are looking up.  So don't worry about that.  There's only 2 more weeks in this transfer anyway, so at a minimum I'll only have to be with him for 2 more weeks.  Hopefully my next companion is "gung ho" and fun.

I got the package before the letter, (figure I should let you know) Elder Bacon and I enjoy the bouncy balls you got for us.  We set up targets across the room and try and hit them.  It's fun.  I enjoy the music too.  But ( don't think I'm being selfish ) I want more lol.  I have a playlist on my Zune software it's called Church.  Could you put that on a CD and send it to me?  For some reason the music you sent me plays in a regular CD player but doesn't play in the truck.  I think you just need to use a different file type.  Dad should know how to do that.  And also could you tell Lynn to put together some music CD's for me?  Tell him I want the Land Before Time song on one of them.  He'll know what I'm talking about.  He has some good music, and a lot of it.  That's why I ask you to ask him.  

Also I would like a few addresses that are not in my possession as of now.  The following addresses that I would like can all be found via Face Book by asking them.  Krista Park, Dani Snow, Stephanie Johnson, Lynn Hollinger, Jake Clark, Rikki Olson, Dave Dabb, Jessica Newton, and last but not least Lindsey Buck.  Tell them all I would like music :) and ask Lindsey if she would send me a CD with the "Tracting In A Winter Wonderland" song on it.  She'll know what I'm talking about lol.

 I did not get a bike.  That got put on hold again because the vehicle we have is only aloud 600 miles a month, (not that many).

Tell Curtis and Raye Congrats.  That's way cool!  I'm glad to hear that you went to church!  It brings great joy to my soul!  Now you just need to get the rest of the family to go with you :) also listen to a talk by Jeffery R. Holland in the 171st general conference, it's called "Like a watered garden" it's about tithing.  You'll love it.  And it might give you guys the extra motivation to do it.  I know that it will bless your lives.  Even if it is hard, it's worth it.  I know you know that.

Well I can't think of anything else to say, so I will let you go. 

I love you all!

Elder Graeme Newman
