-He loves Preparation Day. They have three sets of Elders living in the same apartment complex and they all share laundry facilities--and card (cuz one of the sets lots theirs.) Kyron was proud to admit that they shove as many clothes as possible into each load to try and cut down on costs--so much so, that the loads don't usually dry completely by the end!
-He is loving how supportive and helpful the members are in his current area. He especially is impressed with the ward mission leader, who is "so missionary minded and incredible."
-This week they were able to help harvest the church's vineyard...literally. The church owns an 80 acre grape vineyard which they use for making raisins. They participated in picking the grapes and prepping them for drying on Wednesday and Saturday.
-They went to a members house and painted rocks..."Sis gunn... invited us over to paint rocks with her and she invites a lot of people to paint rocks. When I first got introduced to Sis Gunn Elder Lideakar said I was from Afghanistan and she now calls me that all the time so I figured I would paint a rock that resembled that."
-They went on splits and he got to be in a car for the day. He obviously was stoked. He got to drive since his companion is from England and doesn't really know how to drive on the *right* side of the road.
-They had a baptism this week, Heather. "Heather is incredible. She has literally given up her life for this gospel and it is a true miracle. The really cool part is that her step dad came to the baptism and he started to cry and tell me how he needs to change and said that if heather can change anyone can!!! BOO YA!!! We also are teaching Heathers' two sons and hopefully that goes well! I had to give a talk on the Holy Ghost and that was fun."
-They also have found another family to teach and they have committed to baptism on the 28th.
-This month in the mission they had 92 baptisms. Wow.
-Elder Lideakar tells Kyron that he should eat a lot because it will build ward trust--Kyron doesn't agree, and with all the biking he says he is losing weight. The members feed them yummy food every night.
-He would love mail and packages, especially some EFY CD's, if you feel so inclined! A shout out to his home ward, Country Creek Youth, for all the letters this week!
-"The work is hastening!! I love you all so much! The church is so true! I see miracles everyday from that knowledge! Keh Kaha Kite Mahe (Forever Strong in the Work )"

Heathers baptism. Kyron says "...never judge a book by its cover. You never know who is prepared for the gospel...that's I lesson I learned with Heather."
