Hello Elder Feidler!

Where are you?????  We sure would like to know where you got transferred and who your new companion is and do you have a car?? Are you in an apartment or a members' home?  What is the ward like?  What ward? Many in your teaching pool?

I got a picture texted to me from Justine of her and your last comp all three in it.

I've been flying my quadcopter around for fun. Here is our house at night, sunset and during the day. It was nice yesterday and today. Upper 60's and sunny!

Here is a picture of the south end of Kirby. They extended the road to the Americas canal and are now building a bridge over it to lead to a new subdivision that will be south of us.

Us playing in the sun.

It was great at church today.  Got to see some of our ward's new members.  Also got to meet in the new church building in Siena Plantation.  It takes 25 minutes to get there.

We are about to go down there now to a meet and great.

I started looking at your school stuff.  Are you pretty sure you want to do Mechanical Engineering?  That is a very hard degree that is specialized so they don't allow a minor either.  There will be lots of math classes too.  I was looking at your first semester grades and am a little bit worried.  This will require you to take 14 to 16 credit hours every semester.  I'm thinking we might try to get you in the basic classes first and this semester back will be almost like starting over again.

Let me know what your thoughts are about this.  Do you think you will be able to handle a heavy load? Your academic status is WARNING.  I don't want you failing out of school.  Your GPA needs to get above 2.0 average and you are at 0.7ish.

Do some praying and thinking and we can get your first semester planned out and two semesters if you want to do Mechanical Engineering.  It has Calculas and Physics classes both in the first semester.  No grades less than a C in the Engineering stuff will count towards your degree.

First Semester would normally be:

Mechanical Eng 101

Mechanical Eng 172

Physics 121

FDmath Calculus 112

Book of Mormon

FD Science - You have passed this course.  If we leave it off you still have 13 hours to take the first semester back and that would be your lightest load for the rest of the 4 years.

So let me know what you're thinking. We could just try to get more general classes out of the way and maybe one engineering if they will let us do that.

Considered Business? or other degrees?

Try not to worry too much about it.  I'm sure your study skills and attitude have changed since the first semester, but please don't get on the Romney Bus (distraction) if he runs again for President!

We love you and are proud of the work you are doing!  Keep it up.  Tell us all that is new.

Love,

Dad
