Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes!

Arkansas! Arkansas! I just love ol' Arkansas! Love my Ma and Love my Pa, but I just LOVE ol' Arkansas!

In case you haven't figured it out, I'm headed to Arkansas. Springdale, Arkansas. Harbor Ward. According to Elder Perry, it is a bike area, which I do not look forward to. It's the hottest time of the year! I don't want to be on bike! Oh well. Maybe I'll lose weight? My companion is going to be Elder Thomas. He is the District Leader there. According to Elder Perry, he LOVES push-ups. I head out on Friday. So my next e-mail will be from Arkansas. My first time changing areas. Should be pretty interesting.


My new mailing address is:

4193 Links Drive Apt. #206
Sprindale, AR 72762

Oh. My email is on the fritz, it seems. I keep getting all kinds of error messages(at least I did last week). I hope it works this week.

Jenny Hattabaugh is still on date for August 21st. :) yay! She is the only person ready for August though. There is at least 1 in line for September, but hopefully more will fall into place.

Yesterday a lady who lives near the church just showed up to Sacrament Meeting. Apparently she's looking for a local church because she is sick of driving to Tulsa every week. She loved sacrament meeting. She didn't stay for any other meetings though. We plan to meet with her on this week and teach her. I hope she stays interested.

We had to take our truck in to the dealership last week. It had a lot of engine noise. We were out of a truck for a day. They thought it was the clutch fan, so they replaced that. Still didn't fix the problem. Turned out that it was a pulley. They replaced that and it worked. They also fixed a short in the air conditioner. The other problem is the front passenger window. It's posessed. Sometimes it will just roll itself up and stay up. Sometimes it works just fine. The dealership couldn't duplicate the problem, so of course they didn't fix it. Lame-o's!'

Today we went golfing with the Ward Mission Leader in the Jenks Ward, Bro. Huckell. Another member named Bro. Williams came. It was fun. Elder Perry and I then went to the Oklahoma Aquarium with Bro. Humphrey's from the Sapulpa Ward. It was kind of boring. I have quite a few pictures of fish though.

BTW. I don't know if I ever told you, but I take Fish Oil now. I've FINALLY listened to the doctor, haha. I'm not sure that it helps at all though. I also take a generic multi-vitamin. I don't know if that helps either.

BTW, do you print out my emails for Granny? I hope so.

Not much else to report on my end this week. I will write to you soon and tell you all about Arkansas! I'm excited!

Love,
Elder Bracken.
