Transferred! Letter from Mark 05 Dec 2005

Dear Family,

I was Transferred. I am now in Prairie du Chien. it is on the mississippi river. it is a huge area. it is larger than my last area by a little bit, but we live on the edge of our area, so to get to the other side of our area we use a lot of miles. My nw address is

637 e. Blackhawk ave app. H
prairie du Chien, WI 53821

My companion is Elder Sieler. he looks like a taller Elder Hodgson. the branch here is small. last month was their highest average for attendance and is was just over 40. they meet in an old auto parts store. i didn't get to see the ward size because it was stake conference yesterday.It has been interesting. I wanted to stay in lake mills, but the more i thought about it i didn't think i would be staying, and i felt a great peace that where i would be transfered woud be the right place for me. elder jensen was a very hard worker, and we got along great, i picked up some good habbits from him. my companion now will work hard, but i hae to push him to work, he has a more laid back approach to missionary work and dosen't have a problem breaking a rule here and there as long as it dosen't happen too often. we have been working way harder than they did last transfer, dispite his last companions efforts to work hard, we get a long great, so he is willing to work hard as long as we have fun, he said his last compaion was way to serious about everything. i can see a lot of room for growth here and while i know it will be hard, but i know I will grow more this way than with a companion that wants to work as hard as i do.

thanks for the tape, it was great to hear from all of you. alex is getting good on the piano, and allison and amanda did a great job on the violins. I will try to send a tape and pictures soon.

I don't think i had time to write it last week, but it sounds like you had a fun thanksgiving, ours was cold, but fun. happy birthday a little late to mom.

there is now about 6 inches of snow here and starting to get colder. my companion has a temperature thing in our appartment and it got down to 0 this morning when we woke up.

we got to go to the christmas devotional lastnight. that was great. we had to drive an hour to plattville to be able to see it at their church building, but it was worth it.

I am having a great time here and can see the blessings both here and there from service. I have been working hard, and pray for you, i am thankful for your prayers and support. I love you

Elder Lundberg

Letter from Mark 28 Nov 2005

Dear Family,

Thanksgiving here was great.  we played football in the morning when it was 14
degrees and very windy. it was very cold, once we got moving around it wasn't
too bad. we ate dinner with 3 families and a guy that is single and about 30. It
was a lot of fun.  there were a lot of little kids running around.  we played
phase 10 after we ate, then we went over to the harts and watched the man from
snowy river, my companion saw it and was way excited, it use to be his favorite
movie, i thought it was funny.  we didn't watch a sporting event.

We found out that on christmas eve we can watch a movie and a sporting event, or
on new years eve or something like that because christmas is on sunday.  we get
45 min. to call on christmas.

it snowed a little on wednesday, and a few inches on friday, but by sunday it
was in the 40's and raining, it is raining today and it is about 50 degrees. 

transfers are on thursday, so you would want to send anything through the
office. I will find out tomorrow night if i am being transfered.

I finished reading the book of mormon on saturday, i picked up my pace because
sis. Hunt challenged us to mark our book of mormons looking for references to
christ, his attributes, his words, and doctrines in the book of mormon. we
started in september and i just continued from where i was and figured i would
try to finnish and get through to where i was. It hss been awesome reading the
book of mormon and marking it  looking for christ.

I love you and appreciate your letters.
