hello dear family and all!!!!

Dear Family,
 
My week was pretty slow but very good!   Something I forget to mention in my phone call home is it was elections week for a new president here in the DR.    It was pretty crazy!   Half of the week we couldn't work because we just had to be home early or not leave but it honestly wasn't that crazy in the street - just alot of people drinking and partying it up.   Also an elder in our district ended up getting sick so we decided to try to work both areas.  Let me tell you it wasn't easy, haha!  We did alot of walking and teaching and craziness but it was fun!   It sure was fantastic to hear from you all and talk to you and see how ya'll are doing.   Looks and sounds like you all are happy and things are going great!   I also was able to go to the temple this week and honestly i love the temple so much i didn't want to leave there Thursday.   I wish we could go there more and experience the spirit it brings and sacredness it holds!  We are just going to have to take more advantage of it back at home when we cross that boat!!  I also was able to talk and see the Button's for a little while!   It was good to see them and chat a little.   She said i look alot like Jordan now as i have matured and all.   Haha - just that I'm alot darker is all!   No big deal about the cookies.  I've been trying to lose weight not gain but i did get your package and it was great!! thank you so much! i thought it was the best thing ever! i have been enjoying the treats and things in it for sure so thank you so much!   Not alot to report except we did finally get the new talks from this past general conference and man they are powerful and good - i loved every one and there sure is something to gain and work on in each one i read!  You sure can tell they are ordained of God and speak with power and authority!   That's about the happenings for elder Reidhead right now - not much different!  We set some more fechas - not super firm yet but we shall see what happens.  The family is still struggling a little but are getting better - just got to get the wife over the line and we are golden.  I'll keep you updated there!  Transfers are in 2 weeks so I'll let you know there as well! 

Sounds like you guys had a crazy cool and fun week!  This week is the end of the school year right!? That's sooo crazy!   But cool!  Sounds like it's been alot of trips heading up north and cleaning the house and doing that jazz.   That's fun stuff for sure!   Hahahah!  Great story about the bottle rocket - sounds like the mountains haven't been getting much moisture huh?  That's not good!  Paula lopez got married?   That's way awesome!  Tell her congrats!   When are the Skousen's going to move in to the house and start renting?   Also, thanks for the pics - looks like it was a good time with the Baldwins in Joe City.  Remnington is looking huge and not hard to tell he spent his fair share in the weight room and that's probably why they beat us in football this year as well!  Got to put in the time to be the best right!  Who is that Katie girl?   Is that Holden Yardley's step sister?   I've never met them i don't think!  That's cool - seems like her and morgs get along huh?   Tell big Petey congrats and i love him and all - that's crazy!!!   Good old Petey, haha!  How does he look?  Still funny as ever?   Well hey, sorry if i have rambled or this letter is boring just not a lot to write about as of this week! Hopefully i'll have a little more to share next week!   But family do know i love you all so very much!!   Keep up the good work and enjoy your week and we shall talk soon!!! 

Love, Elder Reidhead
