First of all, HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!!!

How's it going guys! Not really a whole lot this week. The work has been slow lately, not a whole lot of updates. Church attendance is back to about 20-25 right now. The Branch is blessed to have Elder Nelson as he knows how to play piano/organ. The Branch president's wife is learning piano so that she can play, but if she's not there or something, the branch was putting a phone up to the microphone haha. The Branch had a "Dia de San Valentin" fiesta, a small affair, but there were a lot of non-members (all friends or family of members *cough*)! It was fun, higher turnout than for church on Sunday! We also had to talk on Sunday. They asked us Friday night, and Elder Nelson wrote and gave his first talk in Spanish, it was really good! When I got up I had 30 min, but I've gotten really good at taking up time in sacrament meeting.

Other than that, as you saw, we had Zone Conference! It was really good, President Dalton is definitely inspired!

Zone Conference Picture: Elder Hogg is in the back - far right.
Also, another story I forgot to mention. We have been walking a lot recently, trying to save miles. Well all four of us were walking together one morning, and it started really raining (it's been raining a lot here lately), and only Elder Nelson brought an umbrella. Well 2.5 of us were getting rained on, but oh well. Then a lady driving by stops and pulls over to the middle (the roads here have a middle turn lane thing, it's kind of weird) ahead a little bit with her hazards on, and we thought we were going to help he'd push her car or something. Well a hispanic lady gets out and goes to her trunk and gives us an umbrella, says she doesn't need it back, then just drives off! We stopped her just long enough to give her a card. It was a neat little miracle.

ALSO! We found that hand you sent a little bit ago, and we have been having a lot of fun with it lol (see pics).  Other pics: We did more hay this week. and a cat with a very stubby tail.

From Mom: We got these tiny hands from American Science & Surplus. And we sent one to Brett in his box. Well - you see the results. We went and bought a bunch more for the next box. LOL.

Anyway, love yall!
Elder Hogg
