Elder Feidler,

We are back!  We had such an awesome trip to Phoenix. Just got home an hour ago around 8 pm.

It was my mission reunion with my first mission president. Three of my past companions were there.

It was great to hear my mission president talk again at 88 years old! I also got to go through a temple session with many of them on Saturday morning at the 1 year old temple in Gilbert AZ.

Thursday we visited the Mesa temple.

We even got to visit and play at an awesome park. That net climber is like 40' tall!!

We had so much fun. Even visited Krispy Kreme twice! Myka did great on the flight too.

I hope you are having a great week too!  I can't wait for my next trip in 8 weeks when you and I drive out to Idaho!  

Maddie has pink eye. Poor girl missed school Friday and stayed home with your mom. 

Take lots of pictures and write names down. Write in your journal too. You will want to remember it all. 

We love and miss you lots!  We are praying for you daily and the people you teach 

Graham:

Elder Jankowski is leaving us today because Elder Raburn (one of my favorite companions) is going home due to is Crohn's disease. He's been in the hospital for the past week so Jankowski will take his spot for a week. Today is Jankowski's birthday!

We had donuts for dinner this week! Sadly our dinners have been slim.

This girl that called us randomly with an Iowa number made us miss church for the most part on Sunday because she said she lived in Everette and she told us she was going to be there at church. So we spent a good part of church trying to help her get there. She told us she just tore her ACL and had surgery last week. Then she said she was thinking about committing suicide. Then she told us she made it to the church building. Then she told us she was going for a walk around the building before church started and fell. Then she took too many pills from her ACL surgery because she fell. Then she said she was driving back home. THEN we found out she had been lying about it all and is in Iowa at Drakes College. It was so stressful.

We hopefully will have some great lessons this week with some of our other investigators. The father and son dropped us because the father we taught was doing it for his son and his son staring drinking again and moved in with his girlfriend.

We did have some really good lessons last week though and are excited for the ones we have scheduled this week.

Love and miss y'all!

Dad: What a crazy week!!  Wow I guess you will have to better qualify your telephone leads. Have you got your flight info yet?  We've not heard anything from the office. How far off are the next transfers? Did you get a small Valentine's package? We miss you lots.  Pass that food calendar around!

Graham: Playing a pirate flux game on P-day :)

Dad: Nice! AAAARGH! So are you staying with the talkative one or the quieter one?

Graham: The food calander is going around! This ward is just poor and has two sets of elders in it. I got the package! Thanks :) And I've heard nothing on the flight plans. RESPECT!!! On an exchange.
