May 10

hey guys, it was nice to see you all when we skyped on Sunday.  Hope everything is still going okay, by the way, we may not need to get me another bag after all, after a little bit of thought, I looked through the things I brought with me and found a strap with a buckle on it an when i slip it under the flap, and then around my waist and it works just fine for the most part, I have to keep adjusting the bag every now and again but it is better than how it was before.

so anyway, today we are shopping with the third ward elders and I think they have a bike store in their area so hopefully I will be able to get the seat I need and rack to put on the back for extra stuff that I sometimes carry around.  I have a few plans regarding fathers day, so watch out dad.

All of you are in my prayers and so is everyone else, also, something I forgot to mention, I have a few miracles for ya that have happened, we recently managed to contact a referral that we had received through the system (I found the secret Mormon telegraph that glen beck was talking about!;-})and as we were leaving she told us that she had needed us that day didn't know why or how but she had needed us to visit her that day, NOW THAT, WAS COOL!. and then today we accidentally took the wrong turn on our way to the library and when we were turning around we came across a guy who was trying to put a spare tire on because the other had blown out and we got to help him.  Looks like I am starting to have more of these "coincidences"  (as others would call them) lately, hopefully I will have more of these as time goes on.

Anyway, gotta hurry.  Thanks for everything and another thing about the tax return money, if you guys get tight on money it is available for your use, I have heard many stories about missionaries families doing extreme things to keep their missionaries on the mission, don't worry to much about me, although the prices on stuff out here are outrages, I will be okay;-), love you all, stay safe, and keep praying for everyone, say hi to sherie and keith for me, and a kiss for kestra.

LATER;-P
