Dear Family,

So, today is officially my 18-month mark on my mission. WOW! What happened? I just blinked and it was here. Hopefully, that last six months doesn't do that. But, if what everyone says is correct, it will.

Sorry I didn't email yesterday. President Collins wanted us to have Zone Conference on Tuesday, so we had Preparation day on Monday, but the library wasn't open on Monday. So, we had to wait to email till today. We only get an hour to do it too, and I sent my email to President Collins, so this might be a little short this week.

Well, I have a lot of news and cool things to tell you. First, the church is changing things a little bit with missionary work. We are still teaching out of Preach My Gospel to our investigators, but we are getting a new "Simplified Curriculum" for what us missionaries are going to be taught out of. It is 8 new lessons that the church came up with that we will teach as leaders, or be taught out of by our leaders. It sounds like it is going to be really cool, and I am excited about it. The only sad part is that it won't go fully into action until next year, so I won't get to experience the full effect. On the other hand, Levi will have that opportunity. I am so excited for him. It is going to be really cool.

I bought a new white shirt for the baptism on Sunday. Tina and her family are doing so very well. We are extremely happy for them. The other cool thing is that it is the exact same long sleeve shirt that you guys sent me out with, but I only paid $12 for it instead of $40. It was on sale at Burlington Coat Factory. Callie still wants me to baptize her, so I am happy to do it. I will take some pictures and send them to you.

Things are going really well. The work is going great. Let me know if you have questions, and tell Levi to stop growing. Also, let me know about Carter.

Thanks for all your support.

Love,

Elder Savage
