Dad:

Elder Feidler!  What's up??  I can’t believe we go to church so early now.   Our church starts at 8AM and I have to be there at 6:30am for Bishopric meeting.  This is not a day for sleeping in.

Today was fast Sunday.  I was fasting for your missionary work as well as our own.  Every member in the Friendswood TX stake has received a mission call from the Stake President to be missionaries where we live!  Today was like the MTC for us for 2nd and 3rd hours.  So now you and all of us are on a mission!!

Speaking of missions.  President Schmitt has been called to be a mission president in California!  They will be moving there to start I think in May.  So we will be getting a new Stake president at the next Stake Conference in a few months.

It’s been nice with the kids out of school.  Unfortunately they go back this week on Wednesday.   Then on Thursday Zack takes his driving exam.   I’m scared for him…..

We had a great New Year's Eve.   We lit fireworks here at home around 9 pm.  I was in bed by midnight.   Chelle got a new wheat grinder that is hand powered.    She ground about a cup of flour.  Then she went to the electric one and ground the rest.  Then she made huge delicious loafs of wheat bread.  

I cut some flat black vinyl stripes for the Mini yesterday and put them on it.  It looks meaner now.

I am about to go down to Alvin with Zack and let him practice driving around the DPS office.  It is supposed to get cold here tonight.  About 28 degrees!    Burrrrrr.

That's all I know here.

That's all from here!  We love you and are super proud of you!  Keep up the good work.

Love, Dad

Family!

I can't believe how late church is! My meetings start at 11am, church starts at 1pm, then we have another meeting after church. By the time we get out of the building it is 5pm and dark! My ward is still doing pretty good. We got some more ward missionaries that are asking us what they can do to help out. 

I really like how the stake did it back home. Calling everyone as a missionary and taking a Sunday to train everyone is an amazing idea. Seem's like the perfect thing to get everyone excited in the ward to do work! I'm going to miss President Schmitt. That is crazy to think that he will have a entire mission to take care of. Also the mini looks great! Wish Chelle was here to make us a loaf of bread! I haven't had a homemade loaf of bread in 9 months.

Last P-day I wasn't able to go check out suits or find out my size. Hopefully today I can do that. Pleated or plain are both good but I don't like the cuffs at the bottom! The work here is going great! We biked 25 miles the other day! Also we ran into a less active guy that has a pretty sweet orange car. We even got him and his wife to come to church! Stephanie's son is on date for baptism on February 1st. We are busy!!! haha 

I love and miss ya'll

His is a 2007 that he bought brand new! I miss your lotus!!! Brought back memories! Haha my companion had never sat in one so he did that but had a hard time getting out! Elder Rice, He's from Arizona, and he has been out 6 months. I'm still junior companion though :(

Dad:

Sweet Lotus "orange car" lol.  You should drive it to hasten the work!
