My family and friends,

I am doing well. This week we traded our little Corola for a RAV4 with 4 wheel drive. It's really nice. We live in a house with no lawn, just dirt. I ended up purging our house. It was kind of dirty, so I did a deep clean. It looks so much nicer now. There's a restaurant here called Papa Kelsey's that makes AMAZING subs. I met the Brinks this week. He makes fishing lures by hand, which is really cool. This week we had our first district meeting. It was great. I led everyone in the recitation, D&C 4. Remembering names is almost impossible because Elder Baccarini and I cover 3 wards. Usually I just keep my planner out at dinner and just look at the name as we eat. We usually go to the first hour of either the Thousand Springs or Clear Lakes wards, and then all three hours of Deep Creek. Elder Baccarini has to speak again this week, but he brought it upon himself, because he offered all the bishops to speak whenever they want. We went into the list of our FI's this week, and we found 3 people who want to meet with us again! The temple dedication was really great. Elder Duncan and Elder Dube of the 70 spoke, and then Elder D.Todd Christofferson and President Dieter F. Uchdorf spoke. It was on Sunday, so there was no church. We have 2 families with baptismal dates. Their names are the Lunas and the Cabanillas. Both families are spanish, and their both super ready for baptism. The Lunas have a date for the 9th, and the Cabanillas are on the 16th. This size of letter is probably the most you're going to get from me, because we don't have mush time to write. I try to cram as much information in as I can though. The Meridian temple is MASSIVE. We get to shop in Twin Falls on P-Days, which is nice. Everyone wants to feed us on thanksgiving. Last year, Elder Baccarini ate 6 dinners... So yeah.
