Hi there family
This week has gone incredibly slow but very well other than the stress of training. We are still keeping up with Ronald Mundy and he is on track for a week from this saturday so keep him in your prayers. We gotta go to the temple on Wednesday. It was so nice. It was one of the most spiritual experiences at the temple i have ever had. 
I had a couple of my own personal concerns and questions answered. It was really good. We got a new bishop last week and we had dinner at his house on Friday night. IT was so good. He fed us steak and salad and sweet potatoes. and then we sat down and talked with him about what we could do as missionaries to help the ward and we came to the conclusion that we needed to hit hard with the less active members. we have 180 less active families in my area. ITs gonna be a lot of fun but its gonna be nuts for the next couple of months here. Saturday we got taken out to Outback Steak house with a non-member and members as well. The bill was 230$. how ridiculous is that. they do this once a month. Sunday was really good. they whole day was focused on missionary work and Temple work. I gotta teach the gospel principles class. That was a lot of fun. Oh on Wednesday we gotta Teach the State Street Baptist church. We taught about the Great Apostacy and The Need for the Restoration of the Gospel. We talked for 25 minutes and believe it or not their were no objections. There was not even one question. The spirit was so strong there that it had the people speechless. We gave out 8 Books of Mormon and got a new person to teach. It was really cool. They gave me one of their Hymnals and i'll be sending that home real soon. Well other than that, thats about all that happened this week. I had a long chat with my boy about some stuff and we put all cards on the table and all the conflicts were resolved. Its gonna be a good week. I love ya'll so much and i pray for ya'll all the time. and yes i did get the package ya'll sent me and i loved every bit of it. Have a good week and God bless. 
One Love Elder schwendiman
