Dearest mother and family and friends
so this week was really good.. well interesting.. so my companion and I are both new to the area so they call that a "white washing" or "shot gunning" the area.. its been really cool because its a fresh start on the work. we get to visit all the members and get to know everybody and its all new faces. so that is what we have been doing in the area (marsh creek ward) this last week.

The other night one of the companionships got in a small car crash and they called us to come help - we got the call at about 9:30pm and headed over to the area. both the missionaries are Asian and don't speak great english especially when a police officer is asking them questions, so when we arrived it was a pretty big relief since I know all about talking with police :)..haha jk.. anyways I have really felt the responsibility of helping the missionaries of this zone, I am really learning the importance of loving and uplifting those around me. I have set some really great goals for this year of what attributes I would like to develop. I am grateful for the Gospel of Jesus Christ and for the ability and opportunity it gives me to over come my weaknesses.
For new years we had a zone activity!!! we had a wonderful member (bro.mason) who offered his home to 30 missionaries! and let us come and watch movies at his house. our mission Pres. approved afew movies that we could watch for our activity. we got to watch Cars 2 and Kung fu Panda 2. it was alot of fun! since I did most of the planning and organized the activity it was hard for me to relax and enjoy my self.. but the missionaries had a great time and we all got home safe.
last week I FINISHED THE BOOK OF MORMON!! ...AGAIN!! haha it was awesome.. so now I am starting over.. for those of you who would like to join me in reading the Book of Mormon I will be reading two chapters a day. I really love the Book of Mormon. my testimony really has strengthened so much of the truthfulness of the principles that are taught in the Book of Mormon and I have really been able to better understand how to apply the teachings into my life. My love for the Savior and my love fot those around me grows so much as I read and pray.
Anyways life is great. I really love this work. I cant imagine being anywhere else but here doing what Im doing now.
Have a wonderful week!!
Love, Elder Blandon
