Christy, Yes, I know all about Mormon.org. Our mission president tells us to spend an hour a month on it making our profile and getting familiar with the site. Every time we visit potential investigators we ask them to go and visit the site. The people you chat with are actually missionaries in Provo. They are the missionaries that have physical handicaps. It is amazing because they get to teach people around the world.

We don't teach the people in our trailer park. Most of them are college students. This is a college town, Eastern Arizona College is right down the street. It is actually a junior college that was started by Brigham Young. We only teach families because we are in the family wards. It is really hard to get new investigators though because this is such a Mormon town. Everyone here is either a member or inactive. When we ride down the street every other car will honk and wave at us. It feels nice to be loved by all the members here. We get fed most every night. The members like to take care of us.

Yeah, you can tell they (the leaders of the church. I was talking to him about how the Ensign is full of stories about missionaries and is really encouraging young adults and senior adults to serve a mission) are doing a really big push on missionary work. Mom and Dad might be on some missionary video thing. We met this sister missionary in the MTC who was chosen to have a camera follow her for part of her mission so they can use it to promote the mission work.

My e-mail address can be used for ALL FAMILY MEMBER's. Tony, Davey, and BJ e-mail Christy and she will send you my e-mail address. We get plenty of time each week to answer e-mails.

Well, this week has been pretty quiet in Thatcher, not much going on. We are teaching the lessons to all our investigators. Ben, is having some trouble with the Word of Wisdom but he says if the Lord can help him through it then he will know the church is true. Elder Manumaleuna and I are going to try our hardest to help him.

I love and miss you all.
Love,
Elder Reese
