So, I've been in Webb City for about 3 days now. Very different from my previous areas. It's a small town. 10,000 people or so. Then there a couple even smaller towns that we cover. This might be the smallest area, geographically that I've had. Definitely the lowest in population. I mean, just the city Sapulpa had 20,000 and we covered two areas then. Also, I am in Missouri. And Oklahoman's, Arkansans, and Missouri... ans(?) are all very different people. There are some hicks out here, I tell you what.

My companion is interesting. He was in my Zone 2 transfers ago, so I've met him before. He is a large man, a little taller than me. He is also an Opera Singer. He is going home a week before Christmas.(so I will probably be here with a new companion over christmas) The only thing I don't like is that since he's been out so long he doesn't really value my opinion. He still considers me to be pretty green, so he doesn't fully appreciate my opinion. But that's okay. We'll make it work one way or the other.

We had the Ward Primary Program on Sunday. That was nice. I enjoyed it. :) In our Gospel Principles class we used the new manuals. They are so cool! I really want one for Christmas(hint hint mom).

Transfers are simple. They send the "Bull" (the 15 seater van) with a trailer in one direction, and they send the 3 pick-ups in the other direction and they go around to designated "transfer points" picking up and dropping off missionaries. They both circle around they mission and end up back in Tulsa around 4 p.m.

Looks like you all had fun at Halloween. That's good. :) I'm glad. :)

Oh yeah. So the Razorback Stadium was cool. My camera battery died halfway through though, so I didn't get as many pictures as I wanted. Oh well. But yeah, they have a nice field. That was my first time walking on Turf ever. They also have 2 outdoor practice fields which are immediately next to each other. They have a weight room that spans 110 yards. And they have an indoor practice field. It was pretty cool. I enjoyed it.

Oh. Our house is so cool. Yes, I said house. It is nicknamed "The Hut." It's so awesome. We have a bedroom, a living room, a study room, and a kitchen. Everything shakes when you walk across the floor. It's so fun. :) I would totally live in this house while going to college. It'd be the best bachelor pad ever.

We are in a car-share, so we have the car every other week. We have it this week, which is great.

Well, I hope you get feeling better soon, Dad! I'll keep you in my prayers! And make sure you get a blessing, if you haven't had one yet.

Well, I've gotta get going. I'll talk to you again soon!

Love,
Elder Bracken
