Letter from Mark 20 Feb 2006

Dear Family,

This week has been interesting. tuesday we had a meeting at 9:00 in the morning 145 miles away. we drove the first 50 on monday night so that we wouldn't have to get up too early. Thursday we got hammered with about 8-10 inches of snow, so we spent all day shoveling. friday the temperature droped to about 5 degrees, probably aabout -10 or -15 with the wind chill. then friday night we were told to avoid going out except for appointments on saturday, the high was supposed to be -7, it got to around 0, but when we woke up it was -20, and the wind chill was bad all day. around noon it was about the same as friday whe we were tracting, but my companion didn't wan't to go out at all, which is understandable being from arizona. we stoped by a part member family , but that is it.

our attendance at church is hovering around 40-45 per week, we need to average 50 per week for three months to see a building. recently we have not had our investigators showing up to church, but we have had a few less actives starting to show up more. the branch is starting to look for land to put a building on.

Transferrs are comming up on thursday. one of us will be transferred because we have been together for two transfers and they don't usually kep two elders together longer then that. most likely elder sieler will be going bcause he has been here longer, but there is the chance that i do, so please use the office this week.

thanks for the box, it was nice. we don't buy snack foods offen, so it has been nice to have them.

thank you for all of the support that you give me. I love you all.

Elder Lundberg
