Dear Family,
 
Great to hear from you, as always!
 
Sorry I didn't email yesterday. We had Zone Conference. It was really good. It was all about Following the Spirit, setting Baptismal Dates with investigators, and How to Begin Teaching. I really enjoyed it. Excellent conference.
 
Last week we went to the local Used Book Store. We found some interesting gems there. A number of copies of the Book of Mormon(a couple of which were fairly old). Articles of Faith by James E Talmage. A Marvelous Work and a Wonder by Legrande Richards(I bought those last two). Several Teachings of the Presidents of the Church manuals. Volume 3 of Teachings of President Brigham Young(Elder Rowley got that one). It was cool. :) I love the Gospel! :) I just can't learn enough about it! Every time I learn something knew, it just makes me hunger and thirst after more knowledge. It's incredible. I want to know the Gospel better than anyone(with the possible exception of General Auhtorites because they have access to things that I don't, haha. In fact I'm fairly certain that the Church is already in possession of the records of the Lost Tribes of Israel, but that's totally beside the point :P )
 
As far as things you could tell Caitlin about my Companion: He's a little shy. He loves basketball. He's smart and has a strong testimony.
 
We had homemade Fried Chicken the other day. It was SO good! :) Fried Chicken is probably my favorite food.
 
I don't know what else to say this week. So far, I'm getting along fine without my home card, but we'll see what exactly I'll be eating at the end of the month. Probably Top Ramen. Haha.
 
Well, have a good week! Go to the Temple!
 
Love,
Elder Bracken
