Dear Family,

Well, it has been an unexciting week.

We did get a new Bishop yesterday. I am excited to see the transition. I can only hope that he is missionary-minded. Apparently, he has been a Bishop before for about 2 years. So he's not totally new to the job. I suppose that's a good thing.

We have been doing a lot of tracting. That is always an adventure. We found one lady that seemed really awesome. We're going over to teach her tonight. Hopefully she will be home. :)

This past week we baked a bunch of chocolate chip cookies and took to some people. It was a big hit. We got an excellent cookie recipe from a Sister in the Ward. We baked a couple batches and delivered them to people. Everyone loves cookies. Cookies soften hearts and open doors.

I am safe. I am happy. Life is still going well for me. I'm enjoying my time here in the OTM. I don't really know what else to say.

I hope you have a wonderful week!

Love,
Elder Bracken
