Hey Guys,
So this week has been pretty good! We haven't really had a lot more work to do, but I think I just had a better attitude going into the week and that made all the difference! Things with my companion are getting better. This transfer has flown by!!!!
Things here have been good. I actually got a good amount of mail this week which was awesome! There is nothing better than coming home to a letter! Speaking of mail, I did get your package!! Thanks a ton! I am going to send a package home this week with an sd card along with some other things! By the way does your camera you sent me record sound? Because I can't seem to get it to work.
That is way cool that they (Jake's Papa & Grandee who live in Idaho) met Elder White & his family in the (Rexburg) temple! He is a nice guy! I never got to serve around him to much but he was serving in the mission home when I came in to the mission and I saw him at meetings! He is from NY I think. His Dad has an "I'm a Mormon" video. I belive his Dad's name is Chuck or Chip White if you want to look it up.
I really enjoy being an online missionary!!! It is a great way to get a hold of people and set up appointments. Also we can teach lessons and answer questions using the chat. ait is a very neat way of doing missionary work and it gives us a break from the same thing day in and day out - so I think it's awesome all around!
We got to attend the Temple on Thursday. The new presentation is great. It was great to be able to go through the temple again. I hadn't been for 9 months! Some missionaries hadn't been in like 20 months! So it was cool to go thorugh with them. I also got to see Elder McKee (Jake's first companion in the field) when we went through. He is doing great and has been out for 16 months already - time has flown by!!!

Hey Dad!
We do still use the library but like you said it is closed today for the Holiday! So we are emailing at the Family History Center. This morning we went golfing with our ward mission leader, Bro. T. as well as Bro. A. We played 18 holes! I didn't do so hot though haha - but I am getting better for sure! Bro. T. was going to send you guys a pic of us. Anyway this afternoon we are going to go up the Southfork and try to call in an elk. I know it is a little early for the rut but someone said they heard a few younger bulls talking down by Burlington and I might only have one p-day left here in Cody?!?
Church yesterday was pretty good. It is pretty nice to only have to go to 3 hours of church again. It also helps us get to know members of the ward better since we can stay for all 3 classes now which is good!! We didn't have any investigators at church though which was sad. Hopefully it will pick up.
I can't believe you got a bike! haha. Well now you can ride down and up to rose canyon this winter and get a nice work out!! How do you like it? Is it better than the treadmill? I decided I'm going to buy a pair of running shoes and start running in the mornings! All I have are vans right now and B-Ball shoes so I might buy a cheap pair from walmart or something. But I need to start doing something so I can look good for the ladies when I get home! Lol.
Anyway I hope you have a great week and thank you tons for the pics of the deer! I am going to send a box home this week with an sd card, some hunting magazines for you, and a special surprise! See if you can guess what it is!
Love you a bunch!
-Jake
