Dear Family,

How is evrybody doing??? Okay before i say much my address here is.... 1313 Sunnyhill Dr Camden, Sc 29020

Man that is way exciting about Landon being blessed! man i cant wait to meet the little guy, he is gunna be a great missionary we will teach him to be great. Man and Ash got a part in the Easter Pageant that is so awesome! Man im jealous i would love to be in that some day. Things are going really good here. We are going to have a baptism this coming He is a hispanic guy named Felipe he is so cool. He has given up a lot and changed his life so much. Then in a few weeks we are baptizing a few black people. So yeah the majority of the time we do English work, but when we get a spanish lesson we get pumped, we feel that is our strong suit. haha Uts nice being able to teach both. Our Zone is doing real good everyone is progressing, Its nice getting to work with all the elders and sisters and help them progress and also help there investigators. My favorite part about being zone leader is getting to go and work in the different Missionaries areas, and help them out. Its fun you get to meet lots of people, and basically they have us come in and firm people up for baptism. Bear testimony help them to feel loved and help them prepare to be baptized is what we do basically. Man i love it here though it has been pretty cold, we biked last night and it was like 32 degrees man i was cold. haha Also man its funny here in our house that we live at we have two pet dogs, they are butch and chewy. they sometimes sneak in our little apartment and leave us little surprises. haha Its funny. Man they is so much work to do here im excited and just getting to serve all the other missionaries is my favorite part and what im most excited about. We are having a zone activity today as well to get some unity in the zone. Man im so excited to serve here, yesterday we had a really good testimony meeting, i got up and bore my simple testimony, it was nice i just like to express the joy and excitement i have about the gospel. Good scripture for this week. Matthew 19:29. We also as zone leaders have a monthly meeting with the stake president and President McConkie, its quite the experience. haha Lots of responsiblity but man i love it, just getting to focus on others and focusing in on the work so much more. Man preaching the gospel around this time is so fun we are gunna have lots of success this time of year. I dont know if it snows here, but we do usually have to scrap ice off the windows. haha Man im so excited with the opportunity i have to serve, and to show the love the savior has for his children and help others out to progress and grow. Man i love you guys so much. I hope all is well and i love you guys so much. Take care and keep me in your prayers and all the missionaries out now. Grandma i love you! If you see bishop Brieinholt tell him i love him , and Hi! Okay take care yall your in my prayers!

Love,
Elder Riding
