Dad:
Elder Feidler,
What's up?  I can't believe another month is gone. I was out of town in New Orleans Wednesday through Saturday.

All Play got the 1 million dollar sales award.  Wish it was more. We got to tour a place where the Mardi Gras floats are made. I ate too much food, but it was good!  Cajun stuff.

Maddie performed her play this week at school. I attended the Saturday night play. It was fun. She did great and looked beautiful.

Maddie was getting worn out by Thursday, probably from all the play practices.  She had a sore ear and throat so Chelle took her to the doctor to make sure she didn't have strep throat and she was fine. But it was good to eliminate that. At least we didn't make her tough it out forever like that time you had strep throat and we just told you to get sips of water.

Today we had fewer people at church. Probably because of the Super Bowl. I went with the Elders quorum president as part of PEC to go visit 3 families. None of them were home or they didn't answer the door.

Myka is doing well.  Still not talking with words.  Maybe by the time you get home she will. She likes stickers and says daaaaa, ahh, uhh. And that kind of stuff. She pretty much screams until she gets her way too.

I'm getting excited as my mission reunion is less than 2 weeks away!  Phoenix here we come!!!

For BYU, I entered your class stuff so I think there is not much more to do until they open it up for class sign up in March.

That's about all that is happening here. Other than Grandma & Grandpa are on a cruise this whole week out of Florida. So you won't hear from them.
 
Please send pictures of you and your new companions and stuff in Marysville! We love and miss you lots!!!  Keep up the good work! Hope you found lots of people to teach this week.

Family,

Last week we finally had some lessons with non members. We also got dropped by two other investigators because they like sisters, not elders... Today after P-day we have three set lessons! One of which we are helping a dad and his son stop smoking. Last week I found an old Book of Mormon in a used book store with a free sticker on it. I also brought my bike to the bike shop to see if they could fix the way it sounds/feels broken. $90 later and I think it sounds and feels worse...

I miss Cajun food so much. Last week a member fed us jambalaya and corn bread! YUM

The mission I'm in is losing a lot of missionaries. In the next two transfers we are losing nearly 50 missionaries out of the 150 missionaries we have. We aren't expecting to get many more missionaries anytime soon.

I took pictures this week! But the camera is at the apartment. I'm writing a note for next Monday in my planner to remind me to bring it :)

Love and miss ya'll

Dad:

Wow, bad bike luck huh?  Just ride it as is I guess.  As long as it rolls.  It's just a bike.  For $90 you could have bought another.

Your mission is losing a lot of missionaries!  I imagine you won't be in a 3 pack for long then?  Probably next transfer they will need to split you up.

All is well here.  I broke a tooth and have to go to the dentist today.  Not fun.  Really busy at work too.

Have a great day! Good luck on the lessons today.

Graham: A member owns the bike shop so I dropped it off to see if they could figure out what's wrong with the bike. When I came back that's how much they said I owed them. I imagine we won't have 5 missionaries sharing this one ward next transfer either. Good luck at the dentist!

Dad: Sad they charged you that much. So you could possibly get transferred again! That would be crazy. Two months and a few days to go!  Work hard. This month only has 28 days. Love and miss you too!
