Mother's Day Phone Call

Dalan called us Sunday evening and it was so good to talk to him. He is doing really well and keeping so busy! He is loving Snowflake, he is says it is a town of 12,000 people and it has 2 stoplights. It has lots of rolling hills and trees and the wind blows ALL the time. Anywhere from 40 to 70 mile hour gusts. He is on a bike and bikes around 20 to 30 miles a day. He says his legs are feeling hammered and getting big. His jeans almost don't fit in the thighs. Him and his companion are over 4 wards. The 2,3, and 4th ward are in the Stake Center and the 6th ward is in a different builing that was built in 1910 and he says it is the coolest building. They are doing a lot of retention work and teaching a lot. They have a goal of getting 60 TTI (Teach, Testify, and Invite) a day working the streets. Dalan is doing good at that. He is not afraid to talk to people. His companion was amazed, he said he didn't talk to anyone the first month. They ususally have a dinner appointment every night and most lunches. He has developed a bad case of snoring (I think he is exhausted) and woke up the other day with his companion sleeping in the living room. Elder Stewart went and bought ear plugs. He also gave Elder Stewart the first discussion in his sleep the other night. On Sunday he went to 4 sacrament meetings, 2 gospel doctrine, and 2 PEC meetings. He also has already had some close dog greetings. He is doing well and loves getting letters, it is what keeps him sane. So keep the letters coming.
