Dear Mom and Dad,

How is everything going? Things here are going great. We had a pretty good week. We spent a lot of time trying to get to know all their investigators and find out if any of them are really progressing. It looks like we will be mostly working from scratch. We also found some new people that we are going to be teaching again this week. It was great to be back in Ft. Myers. I think a lot of people were happy to see me back. A few people have made comments about my weight.

The branch is going through some hard times right now. Some of the members are discouraged that there hasn't been much growth lately and some members have also had their feelings hurt. But there are some good things going on as well. Yesterday after church all of the priesthood all got together and went and visited about 20 inactive/part-member families. We are planning on doing that a lot more as well. I think it will be really good for the branch. Also there are two families that are going to be taking the temple prep class. So there are some really good things going on.

So everything is going pretty well right now. It's pretty rainy today. Last night there was lots of lightning and rain. It was quite a show. But today we are planning on playing some b-ball on the new wood floor. I'm excited for that. Also Elder Welch will be transfering here today. So I'm looking forward to a great day and a great week as well. I hope that everything is going well for you! Until next week,
Much love,
Elder Larson
