Dear Family,

I really enjoyed that last e-mail you sent. It sounds like a lot of great news. I'm excited to hear more about what else is going on. Well this last week has been really good. My new companion is Elder Allen. He only has a couple transfers left. He just came down from being a zone leader. I'm super excited to be working with him he is a great person. He is also half Japanese. I found out that his older brother served in Sapporo also. He and Daniel would have been there for about a year at the same time.

During this last week our apartment is now a three man for the time being. Elder Peterson's comp. should be coming soon. He went home for a transfer for medical reasons but is now coming back out. But for now the three of us are working together. We have to work and divide our time between two area's. Its going to be a little rough but will keep us super busy. I'm also the shortest out of all of them by a long shot.

This last week has been a lot of fun. We are going to be celebrating Kiffer's birthday here because it is also the same as Elder Peterson's. But wish him a happy birthday for me still. We still have some good investigators we are working with so hopefully we can help them as much as we can. We visited with the lady we baptized and she is still doing really well. She already seems like she has been a member for a long time.

Well we have been planning a lot of different activities so we will hopefully have more news coming up in the near future. I don't have a whole lot of time to e-mail today but I love you all and pray for you everyday.

Love Elder Gandy
