Yah-kweh

(that is Marshallese for Hello, but I don't know how to spell it so that'll have to do)

I can't believe that yesterday was Labor Day! That is nuts! No, we didn't do anything fun, btw. I was on exchanges in the Springdale 1st Ward. It kinda sucked. haha.

I just got the package today! that made me very happy! Candy and pictures, what more could a missionary want? :) Thank you so much! :) I love the pictures of Elder Bear haha. BTW dad, I would LOVE Jesus the Christ on CD, if it can all fit on one :) I would also LOVE "Life is a Football Game." I was wrong before, it isn't by John Bytheway. I THINK it's by Troy Dunn. Some old BYU football player. I would also like "God is the Gardener" by Hugh B. Brown. Bro. White(in my last area) gave me a CD with a ton of famous talks on it. So I've got many good ones now. :)

Last week we helped Bishop Scott(the Bishop of our Ward here) move. He moved so that now he is only a couple blocks away from the church. He has a Gun Safe, btw. Just thought I would let you know that we moved a gun safe. So, he loves us now, if he didn't love us before. :)

The Ward here is amazing. I love it. There are wonderful people here. :)

We are teaching 2 people right now that could be baptized pretty soon. Cong Lee and Sharin Raymo. Cong is an investigator that just moved here from another ward. Sharin is a referral from President Merkley. She was his waitress at a Red Lobster in Fayetteville. They are both awesome. I am very excited :)

Well, I must get going. But I will talk to you again soon! Have a wonderful week everybody! :)

Love,Elder Bracken
