Hi Mom,

So I just emailed Parker and wished him a Happy Birthday. I sent a box home on friday with a present in there for Parker, a bunch of clothes that I don't need, a tie for Mitchell, and my sunglasses which are for Mitchell's B-Day and I put them in my beenie. I want you to open the box and not them. But the clothes in the box anybody can wear.

I haven't gotten a new calling and I am not getting transferred. I get to go with the zone leaders for the next few days until transfers. I don't know if I will go senior companion or not yet, I will find out at transfers. I am just happy I'm not getting transferred, it would have been really sucky for the area if I had been.

So you remember the Appel's? We had dinner with them this week and they have a little boy named Jaxon who liked to beat up on me. It seems like a lot of kids in this ward like to beat me up. Especially this little deaf girl who totally has it out for me. We get to have dinner with the Appels again on the 4th of July which is Cecilia's birthday (their oldest daughter). The weather has been a lot like Oregon this past week. Overcast pretty the entire week, and it hasn't really been raining, just misting. Indiana has really weird weather.

This week we had 6 investigators at church which is a new record for me! We have been really blessed with people to teach the gospel to lately. So today Elder Goodwin drives down to the mission home and then flies home in the morning. He is getting butterflies in his tummy and is really nervous. He has a girl waiting for him back home and she is really nervous too. They will probably get married pretty quick after he gets home.

So that is pretty much it for this week. I love you.
