Elder Feidler

You are now 21 years old! I hope you had a great birthday. Looks like you got to eat at Dickies BBQ last Monday? It was great to get this picture text to us!

It has been Spring Break here this week. Nice to sleep in! The kids even taught Myka how to spit this week.

I think Myka needs your good influence. I'm not too sure her other brother & sis are much help.

They went to Friendswood Stake Youth Conference this past week. It was in Galveston at a new Boy Scout sea base. 

We also picked strawberries this week at Froberg farms. We picked a bucket & half.

 

My classic Mini developed a huge exhaust leak so I fixed that yesterday. I had to take the whole exhaust off. 

Myka and I are sick with colds and now I think Maddie is getting it too. We must get better before you come home!

The mission office sent your travel itinerary and it had you flying into George Bush airport on the north side of Houston. I called LDS travel and they changed it to fly into Hobby Airport. So make sure you have the updated flight info when you fly home. Your office has the updated info. After arriving we will stop by the house and drop off stuff then head to Sugarland for Stake President Hruska to release you. Then back home, relax and sleep in. 

This is the next to the last email I will send you. We are getting very excited here. We got a new insurance policy on your car with you on it through Geico. It is liability only and starts April 6th. 

I hope your week has been awesome! With just two more to go you have to work super hard and accomplish lots! Pray hard and teach everyone. Write in your journal now. Keep working hard, there's not enough time left but accomplish all you can. We love you lots.

Dad, Chelle, Zack, Maddie, and Myka,

I've written in my journal every single day for the past week straight. Elder Dowd has been sick yesterday and today. He's lost his voice. This past week flew by! We found out one of our investigators is on drugs. She came with us though to a Dallin H. Oaks fireside Saturday night. Afterwards she shook his hand and thanked him. He stopped for a second, looked into her eyes and said, "God will bless you." She's so excited right now. Then one of our other investigators got robbed. She lost her TV, electronics, and they took her kids' childhood memory videos. We gave her a blessing and she's been doing better. The food bank this week was packed! Most of the usual volunteers weren't there, so the place was basically ran by missionaries.

THAT'S A LONG PLANE RIDE! wow, I'm so excited to see ya'll soon! Love and miss ya.

Dad: There is a two hour time difference on the flight home so it will really be two hours shorter. 

Did you get the Birthday package from us? US Priority mail

The LDS Travel said they will pay for your luggage on the flight.  So I hope that is true.

We miss and love you lots! Work hard! Any P-day plans for today?

Graham:

They will pay for luggage?

I got the package! I ate a couple of the cookies and then gave the rest to our investigator who got robbed. They made her day! I'll hold on to the Visa card in case I do need to pay for the luggage.

P-Day plans are to buff the mini van today. We have a less active family that keeps saying they will let us clean, wax and buff our car but they forget to leave the stuff out.Then we are going to play Monopoly with a member and one of his friends that's kinda interested in the church.

Dad: 

I asked the lady at church travel services because the itinerary said "Baggage Allowance 0 PC."

She said they will pay for the luggage.  So hopefully when you check in ask them to bill the church for the luggage. But don't count on it?

Good luck!
