Halo.

Congrats on your job! Sounds like it's going to be pretty good! Thank you for sharing the prayer experience with me; that's super awesome! What are you going to be doing again? You probably told me earlier but I forget.  Umm.. Anyway people are saying Hillary's going to win but I also heard that there will be a Republican congress so there'll be gridlock and nothing will happen anyway. Our bishop had to tell everyone yesterday to keep politics out of their testimonies. That was pretty funny to me. There's a couple people that are REEEALLLY taking this serious. Which doesn't sound bad but you can tell that it's a little unnatural. What's Jenna's husband's name?  What temple was it at?

Transfer week! Aaannnnd we're both staying! Me and Elder Mangus for round 3. We picked up Marc Dowd this week and we taught Adam about the Sabbath day and tithing.  He pretty much knew it all already and neither of them were problems. Because he lives so far away we have decided to only teach him on Sundays. Marc's lesson was interesting. He has been learning about the church for a long time and the concerns he had were "How is the new Jerusalem going to be in Missouri?" And other stuff like that. We answered his questions and he seemed appeased. He says he knows the Book of Mormon is the word of God already. Sooo we aren't really sure what's holding him back. We're going to try and figure that out this week. The mission leadership missionaries had a conference with the headquarters missionary department and they apparently gave them some training on how to work better with members. So we'll be getting trained on that this week so it might be interesting. We also have the apostle coming in 12 days. This family named the Curtis's have a daughter in college. She has a boyfriend from high school who's not a member. He says he wants to go to General Conference with her, and the parents said that he can go if he hears all the missionary discussions when he's here for Thanksgiving. So we'll be teaching that guy in a couple weeks. We also have our second lesson with Ann on Tuesday. So we're getting pretty busy right now. 

Anyway I think that's all I got.

Love you!
