Dear Family,
It sounds like it could have been colder down there this week we wern't to cold this week we have gotten more snow its starting to get into the negatives a little bit but not to much. Thats cool that you got to drive in the snow abbey its not that much different unless you have an open parking lot to spin around in but don't try it you might wreck again lol! This last week was a good week we are getting alot of good referals from the ward which is always exciting this ward is a very missionary minded ward which helps alot. Bishop Fishback is an amazing man who helps us out alot and leads by example he and his wife are very fun to work with. We had a good meeting with one of our investigators Bob he was sick this week so we were able to get over there and do some great service for him which was nice and we also read with him alot from the book of mormon which is always fun and a good experience he is starting to ask alot of good questions he has already heard all of the lessons but has to wait till February because he is on parol. This next week we get to go back up to Talkeetna we should be able to teach alot of lessons while were up there the Branch has been setting lessons already for us and we are very excited if we get more people to teach up there we will get to go more than just 2 a month to about everyweek which will be fun there is this family who we are supposed to teach up there this week and the little girls want to be baptized so it should be a good visit.

Letter from David December 7, 2009
Dear Family
Things have been good here this week. It was pretty cool yesterday we went to church at the Talkeetna branch and spent the day up there it is a pretty cool little town and very spread out. There was 15 at church including us at that is the usual number for them but for fast and testimony meeting we all bore our testimonies then it was over there was a nice spirit that was there. We are probably going to be going out there more because there is alot of work we can do out there. Its pretty fun last night we went and visited this family in talkeetna and it was in the middle of nowhere. The road to the house was barely big enough to get a car through and it also wasn't in the best conditions and it was about 2 miles long it was pretty cool if you turned the lights off you could barely see your hand in front of your face or the stars but as we were driving it was pretty funny it kind of looked like something you would see in a movie it was pretty cool. We've also seen alot of moose this week which has been fun. The work here has been good this last week we have gotten alot of referrals from the members so this week we should be able to have more lessons the people that we are teaching right now are doing good the one gentlemen has to wait until after his parol is over to get baptized and the other lady is doing good she is about 85 but is pretty interested. THat is exciting that you are getting a real christmas tree i think we might get a real one for fun there alot of okay looking trees all over here and there are some good little ones and i don't think its illegal if you just cut it down at least i hope it isn't. Well have a good week my new address is
