Hello mother
I am doing well out here, my new companion is Elder Kinikini, he is half Tongan, and half Samoan, but he's a cool guy. He is actually from Sandy Utah though, but doesn't know the Mendenhalls. Our special night time companion thing is going to be a hardcore workout to get ripped, for me anyways, he's just trying to cut the fat, but were having a great time doing the Lords work. Please don't send too too much candy, I had a lot after holloween, and that extra box you sent me was a bit too much. Thankyou for sending that stuff though, where did you get the over shoes from? The weather out here has been getting slightly colder, we"re down to about 5 degrees average per day. No snow yet, but it is raining right now. Thats good that Kurt and Troy are moving forward in their preparations. I am excited to hear where Kurt is going. I don't know if I really need anything else, I think I'm good. I don't need anymore cake or cookie or brownie mix's, I sitll haven't found the time to make the ones I have yet. I'm not sure if I'll ever find the time, but I might give them to members to make for me or something. That's about all I have to write today, I hope you are doing well, one last question, have you heard from any of my nonmember friends? If not, would you be able to give the Wheelers, the site that has all my information on it, the missionary site, if you've made one.
love you a lot

Hey mom
It was great to hear of your stories. I am going to be staying in
Cobourg, and my new companion is Elder Kinikini, elder Jerowsky is heading to Oakville south. I'm glad to hear Kurt is almost done his papers, it'll be pretty funny if he gets sent out here, then I could train him lol. Yesterday we met with, for the first time, a potential investigator who elder jerowsky had known for 7 months. she hadn't been taught before because she was always drunk, but she's looking to change her life around. She is 45, and single, we brought our ward mission leader with us, and that appointment comitted her for baptism on Dec 19. She accepted! It was a really good lesson. She is divorced, her husband and her son live in Alberta, but her daughter is going to school out here, and visits her every other week. Yesterday was an awesome day. We saw the blessings and miracles that the Lord had in store for us. We are looking at around 3 baptisms for Dec. The work is really going great in Cobourg, and I hope that we can continue in this great work. I love you a lot, I did receive the package, and I will be sending my package out before Wednesday. Have a great week.

Hey mom,
Sorry but this email will be short. We had to pick up a new car, a chevy malibu, from Toronto. Where is Kurt Sonata going? I'm really sorry to hear about Ross's mom, that is probably going to be hard on him. I still haven't sent out my package yet, but I have everything I need to send it off, expect in a week or so. Everything is going great out here, Doug one of our baptism dates, will have to be rescheduled, he keeps leaving town every Sunday, and he hasn't been out once yet, but he will be baptised. Rick, our other baptism date, hasn't gotten his marriage certificate yet, please pray that the government will hurry up just a bit. I think he was able to get all the divorce stuff completed, just waiting on the government. I love you guys a lot, transfers are this next week, so I'll fill you in. We had my first sick day on Saturday, we were too sick to go out, and got permission to stay in. I'm all better now.
Love

hello mother
Alright I'll give in, we have an extremely nice member here, who does this for all the missionaries, she'll even call you up and talk to you sometime, we don't have her address, but i will get her to call you sometime early this week. Her name is Linda. I heard about trunk or treating on Saturday, sounds like you had fun. The work out here is wonderful, I was talking to people on the streets, and I started talking to this one guy and his friend, one of them was a person who helps out in group homes, the other was less accountable. I was talking to the less accountable one, and we kind of taught, but we only had like 5 minutes, but the other guy Stephan, gave us his number and said that he and one of his friends had been wanting to go and check out the Mormon church, and we were extremely blessed to find him, we are trying to set up an appointment with him, but we have to call him in the middle of the afternoon, and we forget sometimes. We will meet with him soon. I'm glad that Scooter's doing well. i love you all

Hi Everyone,
Happy Birthday Mom, I found something to send you, I believe you really like this stuff, and I believe you can't get it from out there, so I am going to send it to you. Just so you know, I will be buying some new shoes probably today, my black really cheap ones are starting to go on me, they will still have use, but not for too much longer. That would be great if you send me the Trench coat, that's all I really need. I have some really nice gloves, so I don't need gloves either, but the shoe coverings would be nice as well. We have a baptism date for November 21st, for a guy whose name is Doug, he lives 20 minutes away, in Colbourne. He's and older fellow, and he loves to watch the christian channel with the people who go all over the world just to "proclaim the gospel". We told him that they don't hold the priesthood authority of God. His response was "oh I didn't know that".Rick the one who broke his hip, he will be released from the Hospital on the 28th, and hopefully real soon he will get his divorce certificate so he can get re-married. If it's Gods will we will baptise him on the 14 of November. I love you a lot, have a great week.

hello
My companion and I have really been talking to each other this transfer, and it has really made our companionship grow. An amazing thing happened this week, we tracted a members appartment building, and on the bottom floor, we found Nick. He his 19 years old and lives with his girlfriend. He pretty well believes in absolutely everything that we believe in, and he did most of the talking, it was really awesome, the only sad thing is that he bombed our appointment on Sunday. The members down here are really great, and elder jerowsky and I are being fed quite a bit. I still haven't gained any weight though. I am starting to feel a bit colder now, and my throat isn't quite as big as it was when I left. Also my eyes are doing really well. i love you all alot, thank you for your support, remember this advice the best way to strengthen your relationship with someone, is to simply sit down and talk with them frequently. it has really worked this transfer like you wouldn't believe.

Hello Everyone,
I loved general conference, my favourite talk was Pres. Uchtdorfs talk on pride, and being proud. i loved it. The work out in Cobourg is flourishing, the Lord is really blessing us, and I am priveleged to be a part of the work, and the miracles it brings. I hope you enjoyed thanksgiving, im sorry that i only was able to email you today, but today was are p-day, Ibecause we had Zone Conference yesterday.I am enjoying my new companion, we have had some great discussions that have really helped our bond grow. I know that this will be a great transfer, and that the Lord will bless us with miracles and blessings this transfer. I have some great pictures of the lake, and of the beautiful colours, I need 160 more pictures before I send it home to you guys. It shouldn't be too much longer. I want to send it home in a big package, but I don't know what to get you guys yet.I'm sure I will think of something. Cobourg is a really nice place, I have eaten at a members house pretty well since I arrived in cobourg, and yesterday we finally didn't have a dinner appointment, but we have enough turkey leftovers to last us a week! My story for you guys today has to do with a guy named Rick. He is waiting for the divorce papers to be sent out, so that he and his ex wife can sign it, they said it would take 6 weeks, then he could get re-married and be baptised. He has an astonishing testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Unfortunately the week before I came in he tore all the ligaments in his hip, and to top it off this past Sunday he completely broke his hip. Satan is really working hard to stop him from being baptized into the Lords church. It will take him 6 months to recover before he can be baptized. but he is staying faithful. I love you guys a lot. Some of the things I am thankful forare; my new companion Elder Jerowsky, the faithfulness of the investigators out here, and the Lord for letting me be a part of this wonderful work.
