Letter from Mark 06 Feb 2006

dear family,

this week has been different, it started out in the 50's, then droped to the 20's, windy and humid. it is now hovering in the 30's, but the sun is out and it isn't windy or humid, so it feels a lot warmer.

we had chuck McCullick and Liz Anderson show up for church. chuck is a less active member, and liz isn't a member, but is taking the lessons. they are not married, but are getting maried on the 18th of march. chuck has been comming for the past couple weeks now, liz has been working a lot so has not come in a while. chuck has a 12 year old son that is a member that came, and is interested in joining the priesthood. they are starting to make progress, and will probably make more once they are married, they both smoke, but liz has to be carefull quiting cold turkey because she is pregnant.

we met with an old catholic couple named Jan and Wane Koeke. we tracted into them last week and they invited us back. Jan told us that they were catholic's and like talking to missionaries (they had met some before) but she wouldn't be interested in changing religions. we gave her a book of mormon and she was very excited. she said the other missionaries never gave her a book of mormon. she told us that she would read it. Even if she isn't ready to change religions yet, reading the book of mormon is a steap in the right direction.

I bought a slow cooker earlier this week and made a roast in it. it was nice to have real food. I planed out how much it costs and i can probably do one roast or stew a week. it is also small enough that i will be able to pack it with me when i am transfered. it was nice to have a good meal, and the leftovers lasted a few meals. it was nice to have because we don't get many dinners with members.

I love you. thank you for all of your support.

Elder Lundberg
