Dear Mom and Dad,
Well, another week down.  It is going by so fast, but I'm having a really good time and I'm loving it.  I love my new comp, we get along really well.  He is way cool and he is from Montana and is just like me and wants to do the work, but wants to have a lot of fun.  We got a lot of return appointments and we went to one on Friday and the lady was home.  That was the first time that it worked out for tracting.  This week has been really good and a lot of fun since it was the 4th.  We went to the Palmers for a party and they want to come see you guys.  They are going to drop their son up there for EFY, so I gave them your number to meet up with you guys.  so that is cool.  They are one of the families that I want to come back and see after.  How was Oregon?  Anything really that new going on.  I hope things are good.  I got the letter from Brooke.  So, I did get it.  Still nothing from Moe Moe, but it should be here.  Write me and tell me how Oregon was.  Love you guys, miss you too.
Love Elder Rice

Well, today was a lot of fun. We got up and went to Presidents house and washed all the cars for the upcoming transfer, but then Sister Reeves made us breakfast for the AP’s and OA’s, the me. After that I went with Jorgenson and helped him get ready to go home. I can’t believe he is going home, it is just way hard for me to believe. We went and hung out at the office for a little bit and that is always fun, then after that we got ready to go out and we came back to my home share and waited for my new comp. He got here and his name is Elder Shalinburger. He is a way cool guy and loves doing the work. We should have a lot of fun together, but that is my day.

It was a lot of fun and I liked it a lot. I had a really good study, I can’t believe how good it was. I learned so much, which is really good. Then we went out and tried to email but the library didn’t open until 11, so we went out and started to tract and did so for about 30 minutes and had a lot of fun tracting. I never thought I would ever say that, but I did. Then we went and emailed, which is always fun to talk to my parents. Then we went home for lunch and just talked to my comp. We went and tracted and talked to a lot of people, but then we went to dinner and then had a lesson with a less active family. It was a good lesson. They really like us now and it is not like talking to a brick wall. That’s it, that was my day.

Well, today was a way awesome day. Sad, but I will get into that. I had such a good study time about Noah in the ark. It was way cool, but then we went out and tracted and tried to see some less actives. We got a tone of return appointments, but then it was lunch so we went back to our home share and it was a lot of fun. I took a nap because it was so hot today and when I get cooled off, I fall right asleep. Then we went back out and went and tried to get my meds, but they were not covered and I was so mad about it. Then we went to the Arnolds to pick up the bikes, but they were not home, so we went out tracting and then we came back to the Arnolds to get out bikes. We went to dinner at the Kennedy’s and then went and saw less actives.

Well, today was a lot of fun. We worked really hard, but we started out by doing our weekly planning and being able to talk about the people we are teaching. I know that we will start getting more people to teach, which is cool. Then we got to the library and I had to email my mom because I had some problems with my meds, but we got all that done. Then we went out tracting and had a good time. We tried to get the bikes out, but Sister Arnold wasn’t home, so we went and saw some less actives. We did get the bikes out later and did for the rest of the night. We went to dinner at the Carrs house, which is always fun, then we went and talked to some less actives and got them to come to the car show. So, that was my day.

Today was a good day. I had a lot of fun. We started out by going to DDM and they are changing a lot of stuff around. They are coming out with a new preach my gospel and they want us to give it a try before they give it out Church wide. Then we had a tracting appointment that wanted to talk to us. It was so cool, then we went out tracting and it was not good. There is no one home. We had dinner and then we got on the bikes and went and saw less actives. After that, we went home for the night, but it was an all around good day.

Today was a ton of fun. We started out the day by going to the ward party and it was a lot of fun. There were a lot of such cool cars there and I loved it so much. When it was all done and we went home and got some work done. Then we came in for lunch and I took a nap. That ward party took it all out of me, but then we went out tracting and it was not good at all, so we went out for the 2 hours and called it good. We had dinner with the Fishers and it went well, I hope she liked our talk about the temples, but that was our day.

Well today was a fun day. We went to church and had a lot of fun. It was good—I really like Church and always love Church. Then we went home and took our Sunday afternoon nap and I always love those. We went to see the Arnolds and took down dinner appointments for the week, and then we went and saw some less actives. Then we had dinner with the Molones and they are way cool. We always have a lot of fun with dinner. Then we got out of there and went to the Palmers and I love that family. They are so nice. We stayed there and they are going up to Idaho and they want to stop by and see my family. That’s my day.
