Good morning family!
I am doing so great! What a wonderful week it has been! It rained a little more than usual this week - but I'm not complaining. :) Such a beautiful morning over here in Oak Harbor! It has been pretty cloudy and rainy the past couple of days - and has cleared up a bit this morning, so I'm happy. It is still a little cloudy out, but I can look out the window and see snow on the mountains, and boy, is it beautiful! Washington is so green and awesome!

I am so glad that Heather is enjoying her new school! That makes me so happy to hear that she is doing well. Did she get my letter that I sent this past week? I hope so! Hey hey! Atta boy, Scotty! I bet he is jumping up and down in joy to be Diamond 1 in League of Legends - Keep on going Scotty! Make Challenger! Sierra has purple highlights in her hair?! Say whaaaaaat? That's awesome, hehe. You know, purple is the best color ever!
Sister H mentioned yesterday at church that she sent you an email with all of the genealogy stuff that we have done together - isn't that awesome?!! It is so cool to know a little bit about many of my ancestors. I can't wait to do more genealogy work after my mission!
This week was amazing... I'm super grateful for my companion, Elder Luebke! Even though I am his trainer, I feel like I am learning so much from him! That is something I've noticed from all of the missionaries I have trained - it seems I learn more from them than they do from me! Is that fair? ;) Our investigators are doing very well. I'm impressed with how each of them have such a great desire to learn more about the gospel and do all that is needed to make those changes. It reminds me of when I was the investigator a couple of years ago. :) Time sure does fly!
Today I am starting a "personal sanctification" where I am writing down a list of things that may keep me from feeling the spirit, or keep me from teaching with power and authority. I am going to pray for strength to overcome these things I write down for the next 40 days. The hope and goal is that I will be a more effective missionary and that the spirit can testify through me as I change my will to the will of the Lord's. :) I'm really excited for this!!
I hope you all have a great week - I love you all so much!
Love,
Elder Alexander J Annand
