Dad:

Elder Feidler,

What's up?  Are you going to be transferred this week?

Here at home it's just been hot and humid.  Yesterday Zack found out Old Navy is going to hire him!  They are going to call him with orientation information and he should start training on Wednesday!

Myka got to go to a splash pad this week. She was not impressed. She just wanted to wander around.

Also this week Chelle and Myka went to a ribbon cutting ceremony with me in Texas City. Myka liked playing on the playground.

We got an old fashion security system for our home and Mini

They are the Queens' Guard. They keep showing up in every room and scaring us. You never know where one will be next...

Zack and I had a fun time Friday and Saturday night. We went to the Pearland car show at Lowes. Then we went to a car show in Kemah. The car even made it! We probably need to add more oil now. Everyone really likes the Mini.

We even found a car smaller than the Mini.  A classic Fiat 500!

I hope your week has been going well. It's been a little slower here at my work. The big job I got a week ago Friday they called on Monday and cancelled so that was a little disappointing. But I still sold some stuff this week.

We are praying for you often. I hope you are getting fed well too.  Are you still wanting to get new glasses or have you found a place to work on yours?  I'm not sure you have used your glasses much in the past year.  Do you think you would even them?

Let us know if you need anything and especially get word to us if you find out you are being transferred. We love and miss you lots!!!!

Hey! It has been quite the week!

I'm not sure if I'll be transferred yet. But I think I will because Elder Raburn is training a brand new missionary. This morning we met up with the other missionaries nearby and had a big breakfast on the beach!

​This past week I saw a whale, we got pulled over by navy police, we had 7 non-members at church, got our hair cut at a tattoo shop, found some prepared people to teach, and said bye to lots of people. Every time I leave an area it feels like leaving home all over again.

While knocking doors a couple of days ago we came across a sculpture of a whale. haha! It wasn't as cool as when the sister missionaries took a ferry to another island and got to see areal whale in the ocean.

In our ward boundaries the closest place to our apartment is navy housing that the government owns. We were told not to knock doors there so we don't, but we were asked to contact less active members of the church to see if we could do service for them or share a scripture with them. I guess one of the less active members called the cops on us and we had three navy police officers try to write us a ticket for trespassing. They grilled us for 30 minutes because we are offering service :( Thankfully they just escorted us off of the housing without giving us a ticket. People won't let us do our work :(

Our investigator Margret brought her great great granddaughter to church with two of her friends. We also had the Chads in our ward bring their neighbors to church. The work in this ward is really picking up. I hope I don't get moved. 

Hope ya'll have a great week!

Dad:

Wow. A fake whale!  Great pics!   Do they do 3 in a training companionship?  Probably will be moved. When will you get the word? Have fun and don't get arrested. Lol

Graham:

I am getting transferred :( That's crazy to hear about Zack getting a job at Old Navy! I have 4 white shirts now that are still in wearable condition. A lot of my white shirts are discolored from our dryer I think. Then a lot of my garments are worn out pretty bad. I bought 2 new pair to try out other styles. I could use some glasses but without insurance I don't think I should get some. 

Sail boat races this week...
