Hey Mom, how're things going? We are in the middle of a snow storm, we have gotten 3-6 inches so far, boy, how fast do I forget that I grew up in that stuff? So my new Companion is Elder Bogdanowicz from Fallon, NV. He is 6'5" and probably 320 lbs! He is a bonafied cowboy and a really nice guy. Great Missionary too! He has been out 9 months. It probably hasn't come yet, but I sent you a handwritten letter a couple days ago! Happy Thanksgiving Birthday. Turning 32 I think? So at church two days ago, A member brought one of his friends named John Ledgerwood, and we talked with him for awhile and he is very open to the gospel, The members here make it too easy for us! Most of my life, I feel I don't get adequate rest, even if I sleep 8 hours I wake up very tired, and at a dinner apointment a few days ago, a member said he went through the same thing and underwent tests and got a CPAP machine, and said his insurance covered it and his life has never been better, so I've been thinking about that a lot lately and I think maybe I'll ask the mission president if i can go see a doctor. I know my missionary work would greatly benefit from that! If you could, also keep your eye out for a Nikon or Canon camera on an amazing after thanksgiving blowout firesale whatever, my camera finally stopped cooperating with me. I have no preferences to anything, you can send whatever you want, and I'll accept it with open arms! I Love you so much mom. Have a wonderful birthday!
Love Elder Bates!!
