Dear Family,
This week has been nice. it was in the 60's for a few days, it has cooled down to the 40's and is supposed to drop some snow later in the week. It was warm enough earlier that i didn't have to wear a coat, my suit was fine. It has been a mild winter here, but i am ready for spring.
My companion, Elder Stahl, is from hermiston, Oregon. it is in the north west corner. he has been out for 15 months. as far as junior and senior comapions I am the junior right now and it is all up to the mission president on when you go senior, there are some that i came out with that are already senior companions. and for driving the senior usually drives, unless he doesn't have a lisence or has gotten in an accident on his mission, when we go on exchanges i can drive, but other than that i don't. Hope that answers all or you questions.
We had a few pretty cool experiences this week. tuesday was interviews with the president, and because we have a large area and we live on the edge of it, he approved us to go camping to save miles when we are on the far edge of our area. we are going today to cabelas (the have a big store/factory here) to get stuff. we probably won't go untill the end of the transfer when it is warmer, but we will go before i leave, which is most likely on april 6th.
tuesday night we stayed the night in plattevill with the elders there, then worked our way back home. around 5:30 we decided to go a bit further into our area than we had planned to see an old referal from salt lake for a video. Her name was kathy edwards, she has a member daughter in arizona, and a grandson in mexico on a mission. she is mostly nice to us because she has a granson on a mission. when we stopped by she had a daughter that had a baby about a month ago. the baby had a whole in its heart, and on tuesday she was talking to her sister in arizona( who has our number after visiting here in december.) her sister said she could call us and send us over to give the baby a blessing even though they are not members. we had not even been home since they talked, but we were able to give the baby a blessing. it was great, the spirit was very strong there, and I think we left a good impression that might open the door down the road, after the blessing the mother was crying. It was amazing.
Friday night we found out that an excommunicated member was being re-baptized on saturday. we got a ride to platteville saturday night to see the baptism. Eizabeth Hull, the lady that was baptized has come to church the whole time i have been here, she plays the piano every week. we were shocked because we had nothing to do with teaching her or the baptism, but it was great to see her be baptized, her son baptized her.
Things have been tough the past few days with elder stahl, but after interviews i am almost posative that I will be leaving. he is a nice guy, but we have conflicting personalities, he is the youngest, a bit spoiled, and very hard headed. so far we have been able to work everything out, but i will be glad to get a new companion
i love you all, and appreciate your support. I am trying to work hard and have been praying for you.
Elder Lundberg
