Dad: Elder Feidler, How's it going in the new area? Is it a 100% biking area or do you also have a car? How's the new companion? Is the mission president in your ward? So it looks like you are more in town. Do you have grocery stores and shopping centers within biking distance? Please send your full address. This week is my birthday! Wow I'm old. 44 on Thursday Still keeping busy at work. Our little Myka is over 6 months and is just a bundle of joy. Maddie got called as the Mia Maid 1st counselor today. Zack got all As and Bs on his progress report this week. He's doing well in the 10th grade. I have been working on the red phone box. I removed all 72 pieces of glass now. Next more scraping paint and caulk off and welding up some more cracks. Then strip it all down of paint and prime it with red oxide primer and then paint it. Chelle has been decorating the living room and Myka's room with all her favorite ideas from Pinterest. No school tomorrow for Columbus Day so you might not get this until Tuesday. There is a missionary convert baptism of a couple that are friends of members that were reactivated by the Elders today. Our ward is doing well. Usually have over 200 out on Sunday. We love and miss you. Please let us know if you need anything. Take care. Dad  Zack won't pose for a picture, I do some welding to the phone box, Chelle tries on some curtains, I removed all 72 pieces of glass from phone box, Myka, Maddie & dad pose to say hi today. Graham: The library is open but my fingers are frozen!  This morning we got to ride our bikes to the other side of our area to the library to email! We are 100% biking with zip zero car! Also we can't wear our back packs anymore. Now we are stuck with messenger bags. Messenger bags in a bike area just don't mix. I have nearly crashed a few times from the bags weight being only on one side. We do lots of street contacting. Last Saturday alone we left commitments with 25 people on the streets to go to mormon.org or church or take lessons. My companion is Elder Goodman. He has been out for almost a year. I hit my 6 month mark last week. Instead of gaining weight, I'm dropping it. Looks like we won't have as many dinners as the last era so I need to budget even more.  The mission president isn't in my ward but my meeting house is the mission office. My new address is 1701 121st st. SE S302, Everett, WA 98208.  There aren't any solid investigators in the area yet but since I've been here I have contacted several people that want us to come back and teach them. I'm finally getting better at tracting but am still not a big fan of it. We get a lot of mad people haha. We have several grocery stores that are in our area!  Love and Miss ya'll,  Elder Graham Feidler Dad: Lose weight and cycle easier!  Send a picture of you two and your bikes.  Yes, you will need to budget.  Ask the ward mission leader to send around a calendar to sign up to feed you. Enjoy the ride!  Remember to watch out for cars and dogs.  Carry less in the bag and be strong!  I hope you have some good gloves. Talk about going green!  I love it.  Great picks.    Who are the people? We miss and love you!  Dad Graham: I don't have a very good rain coat! Could use one of those. I have three pairs of cloth gloves. I just stopped wearing a bag and just carry a book of mormon and mormon.org cards in my pockets.
