Family,

Well, another week has come and gone. And I don't think I have too much new news to tell you..
Besides Transfer calls were last night and I am staying here in Grand Junction 9th ward for at least one more transfer. Elder Sherman is leaving though. Which is sad because although not many other missionaries liked him, and he does have a few personality quirks that are different I really enjoyed serving with him. He really helped me become a better missionary. So he is leaving in the morning. Also Elder Franklin (we all live in the same apartment) is training a new missionary, so we will be getting two new missionaries in our apartment tomorrow.

Also some other exciting news.. We went on exchanges with the 6th ward Elders, (6th ward was my Greenie ward) so I could see a few people that I got to know back in the day. I saw the Whites, we tried to see the Brooks but they weren't home, and we saw the Jarvis', and then I saw the Hills. I saw Trent before at the General Priesthood meeting and at Stake Conference but I didn't see his wife, and apparently he forgot to tell her I was in town. So we stopped by and Trent answered the door.. he told me to walk into the kitchen and surprise Sister Hill. So I did. She was very surprised to see me. She really wanted to give me a hug, but sadly I couldn't.
I wasn't too involved with the teaching of Trent but they kept referring to Elder Englund and I as "their missionaries".
Apparently the Stake here asked Trent to write his conversion story down for their quarterly Stake Newsletter and he did and it was 10 pages! I asked for a copy by the way.
And it really was inspiration and guidance of the Spirit to go and see them that night. Our appointment after dinner had canceled on us and so we stopped our bikes at the intersection near their house and tried thinking of someone to go and see.. we BOTH at the same time thought of the Hills. So we went to dinner and on our way back stopped and visited them. We asked him if he were interested in learning about the church, and he agreed because, the NIGHT BEFORE he out of the blue said to his wife (who was the YW Pres. at the time) "I think I'd like to start and just learn about your church." Then we show up. (He thought she had called us because he said that)
Another amazing part of the story is that they had been trying for a couple of years to get pregnant and couldn't. They seriously considered going to Denver to have this 20,000 dollar fertilizing operation down, which would only allow a six percent chance. But they said not three days after we first showed up she was pregnant.
So they named him Ryder Trent Hill. I teased them saying they should have named him Daniel Landon Hill (Daniel is Elder Englund's first name) They said that they really liked that and are seriously considering it if they have another child. I laughed..
But what I meant to tell you about this whole thing is: Yesterday morning Trent received the Mel. Priesthood and blessed his baby boy. It was awesome to hear. I, sadly, wasn't able to go because our ward was at the same time as theirs in another building.
But another cool thing is.. they might be moving to Ogden. So that's closer for me to go and visit them. I am so excited.

I love you all and I'll talk to you Sunday
Your son,
