Dear Family and Friends,

       For those of you that thought I was dead because I hadn't emailed yesterday, fear not. Our preparation day was moved to Tuesday because we had a temple trip today. Our entire Zone (all like, 20 of us) got to go to the Twin Falls temple and do and Endowment session. This was a great experience and I really enjoyed it! The Twin Falls temple is beautiful, and the Spirit that can be felt at the temple is simply beautiful.

       This week was great, being both productive and enjoyable, as missions often (hopefully) are. We are currently teaching an investigator who is progressing very well, and it's really cool to see how much he changes for the better between each lesson. He's a younger guy who seems to have had a bit of a rough life up until now. He's currently living with his member grandparents though, so the situation is looking pretty positive. This week, we also helped one of the ladies in our ward paint some walls and rake some pine cones up from her lawn. They're a lot bigger compared to the ones in alaska. This week we also did a lot of coordination with our ward mission leaders and our bishops. All of who very good at helping out the missionary work a lot. We are very excited to be here in Rupert, working hard and taking care of the many lists that our leaders give us. Elder Kerr is a great missionary already, and hes only getting better.

       Yesterday it snowed quite a lot here in little Rupert. we woke up to quite the surprise. Elder Kerr was pretty excited, since he's from Las Vegas he doesn't really get much snow there. So, that morning, we went around and shoveled for people who looked like they could use some help. One lady actually brought us some cookies after we finished, which was pretty nice. I've really grown to love helping the people in this mission. I know this church is true, and I know that this mission is the best thing I could be doing right now with my life. I love you all, and I hope you have a great week.

Godspeed,

~Elder Quiner
