When you say you got some suggested reading material are you talkin Increase in Learning by chance? If so never thought I would give my mom a book to read if not it makes sense. I just got my copy of the book Increase in Learning and its pretty good I've only got through 13 pages but its pretty good so far.

This week went by rather fast it seemed the second I got home I was driving again. We had a good pday Monday however Tuesday we drove to Altoona which is 2 hours away for interviews there we picked up the assistant to the president elder Hatch brought him back to our area worked the area for about an hour and a half went to bed and then at 8 in the morning I got back in the car drove 2 hours to Altoona again and did a specialized training dropped of elder Hatch drove to johnstown which is in our district and started an exchange, a lot of driving in two days. We had a good exchange in Johnstown I basically was the man in their ward council. We have been asked to set goals as missionaries and as ward councils and they hadn’t done it yet so I basically stood up at the front with elder Swenson and laid down the law cuz I'm cool like that. They said they would have the goals done by Wednesday, hopefully that reigns true.

On the exchange basically every appointment we had fell through kinda disheartening I guess but on Friday morning I drove back to Somerset where we had a few good appointments. We watched 17 Miracles with a family or two that we were teaching which was good it is a great movie for teaching and just enjoying.

I was given a lovely delayed Christmas gift from a LA in our area he gave me a Knife that allegedly he got after he killed a man in the Phillipiens while he was a navy seal (I don’t really believe that but that’s what he said ) its a nice little pocket knife and I enjoy it. The only really other thing that happened this week was Saturday night someone above us decided to throw an all night party luckily I was able to sleep through it elder Hendrickson wasn’t as lucky. Well that’s basically my week travel teach and preach not to interesting I’m staying in my area this week so I’ll hopefully have a cool story or two next week love you all and talk to you later.

I attached pics of the knife and me with the farrises suckin on a lemon with a candy cane and also me using the knife. love ya
