Dad:
We love you Elder Feidler!
Happy Valentines Day week.

I went to the dentist this week. Yuk!  I had a temporary crown put on my tooth that broke last Saturday.  Not fun.

This Saturday was a mini meeting at Boys and Girls Country out in Hockley TX. It was fun. The kids surrounded my classic Mini and I was letting them each sit in it.

Here's a pic from my drone. On the way home I passed an english pub themed restaurant so I stopped there for a picture or two.

Grandma & Grandpa made it home from their cruise yesterday and spent the night last night. Here we are at church today.

I'm getting excited to leave for Phoenix this Thursday for my mission reunion.  Weeeeeeee!

Found it easy to track Myka's movements if you attach a ballon to her!

Been a good week here.  I hope you had a great Sunday.  Any new people to teach?  Pictures pictures pictures!!!!  I hope you are sending pictures of your companions. Is it weird having two companions?  Let us know if there is anything you need. Today it is about 78 degrees and beautiful outside. It should be nice here for the next 5 days. 
I washed my car yesterday so we will see.

I got the letter I needed from missionary medical so I am working on adding you to my work insurance on April 7th. Then you will be good to go at school.

That's all I know here.  We love and miss you lots!  Have a great Valentine's Day.  Do any girls still write you from home or school?

Graham:

Family,

The three pack is great! I have on companion that loves talking and one who is getting better at it :) We are working hard trying to find those whose hearts are softened. Sadly this last week we got dropped by more of our potentials. This week we have 8 lessons scheduled and are hoping for at least 4 of those to go through. Last night we were up until 11:30pm because some random lady called us from Iowa, crying, saying she wished she didn't know the Book of Mormon was true. Her parents are on a mission in Africa for a non denominational church. She had a Mormon roommate that read the whole Book of Mormon with her. We aren't sure how she got our number or what we can do but we were up all night thinking about what to tell her and talking to her. Then there is Brad and his dad Lewi that have been having even more struggles. Lewi's sister passed away last weekend. They haven't really progressed lately but we are still trying to help them. Last night we also taught this way cool guy who recently got a divorce from his wife. He loved the message of the restoration and said he won't take a free Book of Mormon from us because he wants to go buy one so it means more to him.

We found this Book of Mormon for free at a used book store. (Me and Elder Dowd)

 In the back of the district's mini van.

I'm not writing anybody from home or school anymore. Elder Raburn's cousin writes me letters every once in a while. Also the back wheel on my bike needs to be replaced. I got the axle and bearings but the wheel wiggles back and forth even though it's on tight. The guy at the bike shop said it would be $60. Could I give you info on what kind of wheel it is and see if you could find one cheaper?
​I love and miss ya'll.

Dad: Sounds like you are staying busy!  Send me the info on the wheel.  But I'm not sure it's worth fixing for such a short use. You could be transferred next transfer or end up with the van.  Is it still rideable?  That bike was originally from Walmart. You already paid $90. Another $60 and you could have bought a new bike.  Plus whatever you paid to buy the bike. Let me know what the wheel specs are.  Not sure you could easily change out the axle / gear cog and all to a new wheel.

Graham: It's not worth buying a new wheel then. It should last me until the end of this transfer hopefully.

Dad: Nice pictures!  Elder Dowd looks young! Is he 18 yrs old? 

No one is writing you? Crazy. Probably no one left around here.  I saw that Kayla Decker moved to Provo and is going to a hair school there.  She changed her Facebook status to "in a relationship."

The Davidson girl Macae just got home from her mission this past week.  Of course home is in Nigeria, Africa!

So it will be exciting for you to get back to college and make some new friends!  I'm looking forward to the drive out there with you.  We just decided that Chelle is going to fly out to Utah on the Saturday that I was going to come home and we are going to stay in the SLC area for four days, visiting her brother.

Enjoy these last two months and teach lots of people!  Even those that just call up in the middle of the night.  Weird??

Have you got your flight plans from the office yet?  We haven't heard anything other than it will be April 6th. You will just miss Easter at home and will have General Conference the weekend before you come home too I think.

We love and miss you!
