Oh! sounds like fun! Sorry. I need to go get stamps cause
I'm out, so snail mail has halted for a bit! next sunday
is my 4 month mark! only 2 mor months and I wont be a
greenie anymore! yay! haha! The work is still great!
Bill.......hmmm He went cold after we invited him to be
baptized!. Haven't talked to him for a while now. and
Christina.....who we found out is like 18...which is
weird, she left on vacation with her boyfriend
(who is a member) and his family. So we can't do much
there till next week! but We have a golden contact!
Erlik, and his wife Daneille! They have been searching
and we tought the plan of salvation first, and they are
really interested and accepted a soft invite to baptism!
They are super cool! and way open and humble! I am so
excited to teach them more, and we will hopefully set a
baptismal date for them to work towards. They will
progress greatly in the Kingdom of God here on earth!
So there is some info! Got to go shopping and go play
volleyball with some of the young men in the Apopka ward!
most just Morgan Blackwelder. He is a stud! I love the
work, and all is well! how is everyone in B-town?
Love Elder Stander

If I recall......I told you "Just so you know, next monday the library will be closed, so you will not get an e-mail from me. just a for-warning! kay? kay!" That was copied and pasted straight from my last e-mail I sent you! So be angered not! I fore-warned you of this event!I did tell jared he could have my trench coat, It is nice and when you find it, you can give it to Cindy to give to Jared free of charge, cause I don't want my little buddy freezing in Canada! It can be his birthday present! I think it's in my room? Oh boy, Jared is a missionary boy! haha! thats cool!Thanks for filling me in! Things are well with me! I have been having lots of fun...Oh and transfers happened and my comp got gone and I have a new one! Elder Kelvin Christensen from Elkridge Utah! He is pretty chill and very obeidient, so he keeps me in line! We have lots of positive investigators, and Bill is the most positive. He was an athiest of sorts, but wanted to know about the after life cause his wife just passed away. So it has been slow, but he is progressing awesomely! He is the coolest! and getting really smart in a spiritual sense, cause he is very intelligent in general! so he is super cool. We are also teaching this girl named Christina, who just barely graduated...I didn't know she was so young, but she is younger than I! She is pretty positive too. Hopefully we can get some baptisms! So there is some info an me! Kepp me filled in too!Have a great day, and do good!

I went to a stake conference and it was really really good! I felt the spirit real strong! I enjoyed it very much. Transfers are next week. But I will be staying in Apopka. Yep! uh....lets see....oh...talked to this guy that was kinda like the anti-christs' ion the book of mormon.....he was trying to confound us in our words, and wanted physical proof of our religion, and we testified and the spirit was really strong, but he denied the spirit and continued to argue and tried to tell us we were wrong......but it was a powerful lesson....just not for him. um.....thats basically it... just good ol' missionary work, Eat, study, teach, tract, sleep, tract, teach, ect. oh...and I have been out for a little over 3 months now! kewl huh? only 21 months to goI miss ya all. and love ya. e-mail you the week after next!

This week we set three baptismal dates, but two of them had to be moved cause they didn't attend church this Sunday....so now they are null and void, but we will work something out! We have alot of positive investigators, and so it's all good. Transfers are comeing up, so I might be moved. I highly doubt that they will transfer me, but could happen. I'm glad to here that Jenna is ok! man, I just wrote her and Jane this morning, and already sealed the evelope! Brianne told me she stopped by the other day, and talked with you for like three hours! she said she really enjoyed it! um.....I think thats all.....Oh and I also found out that I can listen to John Bytheway out here! So next time you send me a package for something, maybe find all my john Bytheway talks and send them too! that would be neat! Tahnks for keeping me informed! I love you all! buh bye!

ps. I'm still not use to calling myself elder rather than Luke....
