Bozeman

Hey Family!

How is everyone doing, all spread out across the world, it is pretty cool that with all the technology we can be in the four corners of the world and still be connected (unless you are on a MWB trip and they cut you off from everything=) But when cutler writes, you have to send me his letter because I want to know how everything went for him.

Lindy, it sounds like you are really living the highlife there! How fun! Only a little less than two months left and you are going to be done with vacations for a while, will you be able to handle that? Can you handle two months of vacations? I think that I would get bored haha, I couldn't handle it. But I hope you are sending a bunch of pictures home so that I can see them, or at least I hope that you are taking a bunch of fotos so that I can see them all when I get home.

CJ, I hope you had a wonderful experience there in Zambia, I am going next year. Tell me all about it!

Mom, GREAT job on the work with that client and GREAT job with Steve, keep up the good work. I am excited to see what is going to happen next week.

Dad, keep up the awesome work there at Z, its always exciting to hear how things are going. I want to help out when I get back.

Anyway, as for us and the week it was a great week. I got into Billings on Tuesday morning (I tried

to get on the same flight as the other missionaries but it was all full so I couldn't, I ended up on my regular flight which was ok because I was able to talk to the girl next to me the whole way and basically share the message of the restoration with her which was cool. But we got here and went to the temple and the temple here is gorgeous! It really is beautiful. It was cool to see, there is a beautiful foyer with an open glass ceiling as you walk in. Also in the entrance there are a couple of fountains which are beautiful, it is a really neat temple. It was cool to go there on the first day with all the new missionaries, Pres Mecham and Sis Mecham.

After that I just kind of hung out with the APs and slept at their house and stuff. I asked a lot of questions as did they. We were trying to get a feel for the different missions and get a few new ideas.  This mission is really, really different from mine.  Some of the things I don't really like haha but don't worry Dad, I try to bite my tongue haha. President Mecham is just a whole lot more relaxed than President Essig and it affects the missionaries in many different ways especially because there is the chanllenge that everything is so spread out.

But I do love President Mecham, he is a really cool guy and it was amazing that he is letting us do this. He isn't very by the books, he tries to go by the spirit which I like a lot about him. It should be fun here, there is lots to learn.

But Thursday after all the boring training meetings I was driven out to Bozeman and I met Spencer. It was really cool, he is so different! He is really, really different but in amazing ways.. It has been fun to see him and how he has changed and he really does have strong desires to do what is right. It is cool to see that. I am excited to get to know him and we are going to have some great experiences together.

As far as the work goes, there aren't too many people that we are visiting right now but we know that that will change. We are implementing some ideas from my mission and keeping some from his so we have a hybrid work style going on here which should be good. The members are great and are very helpful, way more than any ward that I ever had in Chile. Lots of the members are very Missionary oriented and are engaged in the work which is great to see, its exciting. We selected a few young couples to concentrate our work on so we are going to work with them to see what fruits come. it should be great! thanks for every thing and I got to go,

Love
Jaromy

talk next week!
