Mom don't worry about me getting the medicine after it gets to the mission home, my current district is the one that covers the mission home so we get our mail fairly regularly. A lot of the members feel the same way about missionary work as you do, but what the stake president said in ward conference and also what our trainings have focused on is don't worry whether they will accept it. You don't have to force it on them but you can at least offer it to them the worst that could happen is they say no. also one of the things we have been challenged to do more of is Member Missionary Lessons (MML) where we go in and teach a member family a simple principle or share a missionary scripture, and then we invite them to pray and ask who is ready. also we offer to help with anything that you might need help with. One way to help is Family History work, we have a family history center in our chapel and we invite a lot of people who might be interested to come, eventually most of them ask why we think it is so important and that leads into a gospel discussion.

I'm doing fine, medicine wise I've still got a lot of the omeprazole I'm not sure about being about to get it here because some things have different names. Amitriptyline I've still got a few weeks left of. I have been doing well. This week we had more members at lessons than the Kensington Gardens area has had before. Its awesome to be able to see the members answer the questions that people ask. Also we have been trying to see a lot of less-active members and they have been doing pretty well we actually got a referral from one of them yesterday. Another one I was able to get them to let us come back because of my RC helicopter, he collects them and likes to talk about them to anyone who can understand any of it, after that got us in the door we were able to teach him a little bit about the importance of the sacrament. This week was really cool because even though half of our investigators went on holiday we were still able to reach or teaching goals.
Dad, how are you feeling. Did the surgey make a big difference for you. I hope you will have more energy and start to feel well soon.
Love you guys

Hi Everyone,
Cool, this week was cool! We didn't get to see very many people because its finals week and a lot of the people we see are Chinese university students. we really aren't seeing that many people mostly trying to drop by potential investigators and see if they really are interested. This week was great, one of our investigators that claims to be an atheist prayed with us for the first time, came to church for the second and went to a fireside with one of the counsellors in the stake presidency. Also a really cool story was in zone training a couple weeks ago we did some roleplays, then soon after the investigator that we were roleplaying with another companionship moved. It turns out he not only moved into that companionships area but moved in with a couple that was already investigating and lives right next to the chapel. It has been awesome. It was the queens birthday yesterday so it was a public holiday so preparation day got moved, we found a new investigator and several potentials. this week has definitely been full of miracles.
Love,
Elder Warner

Yeah, I did have to buy a bike because they want us using the car as little as possible, plus the headlights blew so until the vehicle coordinator can fix them we have to grab the bikes around 5:30 or 6:00. Sorry to take that much money out of the account with no warning. I hope it was not too much trouble. Tell dad he still has a sense of humour so he can't be borg yet. Elder Jones emailed me and told me that he gave my scriptures to the Assistants so I'm not sure if they will send them here or there. You don't need to send me the camera card back I've still got 2 (grandma gave me one) I will have to check about the dropbox sight you mentioned and see if I can get permission. I will have to grab more money out later because what I did grab wasn't the full amount.
It has been awesome here we found 4 new investigators this week and the sisters in our district called us because one of their investigators needed a blessing so I got to do that to. Tell Kenzie and Jordan Congrats for me. I am excited for her. Sounds like it was a nice day and that things all went well.
I am loving it here and I can't imagine being anywhere else or doing anything else. Drew, you should start planning now. This is the BEST!
Ihas been awesome here, that J Golden Kimball stuff would be cool but I'm not sure if I would be allowed to read it or even if I would have time. It has been a wonderful week the only investigator that we had at church yesterday was the one that we were most worried about coming, it really effected him. Pretty much all the people there that we didn't call ahead of time to see if they could greet him with us thought he was a member. Also we were following up a potential investigator and it turned out she had grown up in the church but hasn't come in almost thirty years. She was happy to see us and kind of hinted at the fact that normally she just doesn't answer the door if it's the missionaries. I am loving it here. also about the packages always send them to the mission office.
