Dear Family,

I'm a Man Now: Elder Ludlam forgets to shave
OR Elder Ludlam gets a messy haircut!

Sounds like an exciting week for you all!  That is so wonderful about selling the house in one day.  Have you ever thought about going into Real Estate, Mom?  You’re building a pretty good track record.  2/2

Well, things have been going well in Solana.  We’ve been working hard to find new people.  Yesterday, we had a great lesson.  Elder Coy’s favorite mamita here (featured in the FHE picture in the purple shirt) finally got her husband to listen to the missionaries.  All her kids are members, and now they are just waiting for the dad.  Anyway, she’s been praying for years that her husband would start investigating the church so they could get sealed in the temple.  Slowly but surely she has been making progress, from playing the hymns in their house, to having him in the room during family prayer, to reading out loud to him from the Book of Mormon before they go to bed; she’s been melting down his corazón endurecido (hard heart).  Last night we got him to accept a baptism date for the week after General Conference.  We are all pretty excited.

Family Home Evening

Elder Ludlam's Hungry Hippo Shoes

Well, we have transfers coming up next week.  We decided to use our possibly last p-day together to make some homemade cerveza de raíz (root beer) with Elder Carnese and Elder Johnson.  It’s almost been 18 months since I drank root beer.  My last night in the Provo MTC, I think I drank about 5 glasses of root beer to make it count.  

Well, I am sorry.  Elder Coy wants to stick to the 45 minute letter rule and this is straining my 45 wpm typing skills to the maximum.  Sometimes I burn out and have to stare blankly out into space to cool down before I can start typing again. 

Love,

Sir Squilliam Sledgeham, esq.
