Yes I did get your package. Thank you mom. I really like the clothes
you sent me. I've been wearing them for the past few days. What made
you decide to send me them? That's awesome that Nate is starting
mission prep. I wish I had gone more. I only went to like 2 of them.
When is he going to put in his papers? There wasn't a whole lot going
on this week. We've been working with an investigator to stop smoking
and she's making progress. Her name is lavin. Like Laban. We went out
with a member to visit some people and took a picture with my comp.
 And it sounds like Nate is doing good. I like the new missionary 
schedule because I'm not much of a morning person and it lets us
customize our schedule. It's not too different. I look weird in this picture. And I can't remember what animal that is. Other than that it has been cleaning the apartment (oh by the way there is mice here and we are trying to catch them) and learning the area which is pretty much learning a bunch of small towns. Hope all is well at home. Love y'all

Hey mom. So Illinois is pretty good. It's a little colder than
Tennessee. It took about 5 hours to get up here because we got lost
when we had to get gas and ended up in bowling green Kentucky. Oops.
But we made it. My new comp is elder crawley. He is from California.
It is crazy that's it's been 3 states in a year. My new address is
1431 s granger St. Harrisburg Illinois 62946. Oh by the way this is
our apartment before we cleaned it. It was bad when I got here. 
(they just didn't clean) I think the river we crossed was the Ohio?
 I learned Beth is on track for baptism but Michaela is on the fence. 
Love, Elder Neyman

Hey mom.  So this week has been eventful. There's only 3
big things I remember. One is I got to baptize someone. It was really awesome!
Her name is lacy. She was the sisters investigator. It was an ordeal because the
water was really hot and I had to do it 3 times because her foot kept
coming up. The other thing was that we had the cops called on us for
the 4th time. Be use we were "too persistent". That was fun. And I'm
getting transferred to Illinois. So tell everyone to not send me
letters till next week when I get my address. So I don't have much to
say because I'm going to leave wifi soon so make sure to tell people
sorry for me not emailing them. I'm going to eldorado. We cover the 
bottom third of Illinois split into two areas. I will cover the eastern half.
Here's the area I'm in now and the one I'm going to. And the size is
relative. So my new area is 4 times as big as the one now.Hope all is well. Love y'all

Hey mom. So it's been raining here and there but not super bad. It's
been really cloudy tho. I'm glad they (Jody and Abby and Jaynee)
 are doing good. I remember my pinewood derby. It was a lot of fun. I'm glad
they (Brycen and Paycen) are having fun doing that. That's really cool that you helped
with that project. It looks really cool. It sounds like bishop (Rogers) is
filling into his roll and doing well. So Beth and Michaela are doing
well. We taught them the plan of salvation last time and they love it.
She's still reading the Book of Mormon and asking questions and really
progressing. They love coming to church. Besides that it's been
tracting in the rain and knocking knocking knocking. We met some more
new investigators this week so we'll see where that goes. Also they
changed the mission schedule so we have 2 more hours of p day ( it
starts at 8 instead of 10) and a few other things that make it easier
to transition to home life and let you have more freedom in your
schedule. That's about all I got. Hope y'all have a good week. Love
y'all.

Hey mom. So this week has been really good. It has been really warm.
It's been in the 70s all week. But people say that happens all the
time. So this week has been really normal. Only one highlight. We sat
a baptism date with Beth and michaela and possibly Hayden. I want to
write more and send you my journal pictures like I promised but we had
wifi problems today and I just now am getting to write. So next week.
I hope all is well. Love y'all

That's so cool that it snowed. The weather out here has been crazy
going from 30 to 14 in the same day. It snowed out here too. I'll put
in pictures. Our church is at 1 now and it's starting to get dark when
we get out too. It's so weird. Man that's awesome that jer has another
sister. I'll get to know another aunt. This week has just been cold.
Very cold. I have to put on 3 pairs of socks and pants and 2 sweaters
and 2 coats and a scarf and beanie and gloves. So I have to layer up.
So this week has mostly been finding. We knocked into a few people but
we haven't been able to follow up with them yet. But I'll let you know
how those go next week. We did follow up with an investigator and
she's reading way more than we ask her too and is super eager for us
to come back so that is awesome. She would have came to church but got
sick so she's going to come next week and we're meeting with her again
this week. Other than that it's been knocking on doors knocking on
doors and knocking on doors. That's pretty much all we've done all
week. There were some funny/ weird experiences but they are in my
journal so I'll take pictures and send them to you next week. Hope you
and everyone else is doing good. Love y'all

Hey mom. So this week was really normal. It was a lot of tracting and talking to people. So I don't really know what to say. But yesterday was really cool. We have been teaching this young girl and her brother and had never met the mom. So we went and dropped in on them and the mom was there. We thought she was not going to be interested and skeptical sense it has been 2 random guys coming by and seeing her kids. But she was actually interested and was looking for a church to join to that was awesome. Other than that I don't really know what to say. Nothing special on New Years. We just had to be in at 6 so we just ate popcorn and played games like Yahtzee. No fireworks or anything. So pretty boring. It's crazy how time flys and it's 2017 already. I just got a little over a year. Hope all it well at home. Love y'all
