Andrews Most Recent Letter

Hi mom and dad.Thanks for your emails. And yes I got the letter about the PEC meetings. Thank you for your input. And I got the forty dollars that will be nice for me.

We haven’t met up with Sara again yet but we will eventually. I have faith she will make the right decision.So elder Hill got transferred to Olean New York. He didn’t want to go to a small town area and Olean is about a small town as you can get. Oh well I think it will be good for him to get used to a different style of living and missionary work. I was sad to see him go but happy for a change at the same time.

My new companion is Elder Buckway. He’s a great guy. He served as fleet coordinator in the office for 10 months. He worked with president and was in charge of all the cars in the mission. He did great in there and got special recognition for salt lake because of how good he did at saving the mission money and taking care of the cars. He’s been out for 20 months. And he’s driven all over western PA a lot. He’s senior drive and senior companion. So mom you don’t need to worry about our driving. He’s really good at it and he’s had to deal with all of the wreck that missionaries get into for the past ten months so he knows what not to do.

He’s awesome. A fun guy and he is clean. We spent all morning just cleaning the apartment really well. And he’s not stingy about fixing the apartment when stuff happens to it like when a light goes out or we need something. He knows how the office works and knows everyone in the office so we are going to get all of the hook ups. Like a new lamp and a new box spring for me. There isn’t anything wrong with it it’s just old and squeaks when I move at night.

Our first night tracting together we got invited to go fishing with a black guy named woody and we also got invited into a house and antied for an hour. The anti guy was nice just miss guided. We bore testimony and left. That happens a lot in PA. People are dumb. We also met the bishop and elder Buckway said that he received the warmer welcome here than in any other area in his whole mission. So we are getting along great and having fun.

The receipt thing is the only real thing that I can think of that would be nice. Chinese chicken salad sounds delicious right now. So if you guys could get me recipes that would be awesome. And my cloths are holding out great and I’m doing good on money so don’t worry about me and thank you for all of your support and prayers.Love you lots and look forward to hearing from you.

Elder Andrew Rich
