I could see all the pictures, but in thumbnail. To see them another way I would have to download something, but the computer will not allow it.
I am writing a letter to the editor. I am writing on the story of Christmas from the Book of Mormon. So that's exciting.
For Thanksgiving I rode my bike to a members home and had dinner with them. The Oliviera's they are from Brazil! they are way cool and it was fun.
Then on Black Friday we braved the crowds and handed out cards until the security told us we couldn't do that, so we then went inside the mall to strategically place cards so people of there own free will and choice could pick them up. But then the security told us that we were tresspassing cause they had told us to leave. But they didn't tell us to leave, they told us to stop, so we did, then a police officer man showed up and he was alot nicer than the security gaurds. So operation "share the gospel of peace" was thwarted by Satan and his helpers. All the security guards united against us. But it was fun.
um.....maybe I will send you some pictures next week.
marry thanksgiving black friday.

So now what do you want to talk about?
Cause I got nothing.
To be honest, I do indeed miss Idaho. Even the snow! I hope I can still remember how to drive in snow upon my arrival.
Well saturday I hit my 18th month mark. So thats cool.
Um.....Been riding my bike alot lately. I crashed the other day cause there was a hidden whole in the eath that made my front tire sink into the sand and caused the forward mortion to be displaced and I gracefully flew over my handlebars. But, but, I was drinking some aqua while riding, and when I crashed, I did not spill any. Impressed? You should be.
That self same day that I crashed, I also got a flat tire so I had to fix that.
Thats about all the excitement for the week.
We are tracting alot cause there are slim pickins for teaching. I like oranges.
be blessed.

Hello,
I am sorry to have not written an epistle yesterday. The peperation day was moved to today because of a Zone conferance with a general authority. But not I am able to write for today is p-day, and time to e-mail home and president!
I have a new companion, Elder Chase Hanson from Shelley Idaho. So we have some stuff to talk about.....like potatos and stuff. haha! We white-washed Wintergarden. And all week we have been sleeping in Sister missionaries beds, and a sister missionary has been sleeping in my bed. Haha! cause we took over a sisters area, and sisters took over my last area!
This week we have been getting to know the area, and tracting. We have also tried to visit some members. So just getting our bearings about us! I ma one of the few missionaries to be in a 3-way car share.....twice. Once in St. Cloud, and again in Winter Garden. We actually don't live in our area, so we bike about 20 minutes to get into our area to tract, so that is kind of fun.....kinda. I think this area will be real good!
Had a baptism in Deltona. I was unable to attend, but it was still the fruit of my labors. The sisters basically walked into a free baptism! But that a'ight! Uh...thats all folks!
peace!

Dear mother,
No baptisms...........the ward decided to tell us last minute about our baptismal canidate, and some things he has said. this, that and whatever. A bit of misscommunication, but.....whatever. So we pushed it back to this week....but both me and my comp are being transfered, and replaced by sisters. and I am going down to winter Garden, and replacing sisters. Infact, one sister and I are swaping places. kinda fun. So I will not get to see the baptism...oh well.
Well.....thats the news! Sounds like a fun party! I am looking forward to pictures. I am also looking forward to next years party when I can delight in old friends and family fun!
For Christmas/....... I can think of lots of things...... I really like books...and reading now.....but am not suppose to read anything out of the missionary liberary. Unless given permission. So......Just get me stuff for home. Some cd's I've missed out on, movies, some good church books. The messiah series would be sweet! by Bruce R. MConkie. That would be sweet. if I think of naything else I'll fill ya in on it!
Oh and Sister Sharon Hall says "hello, and we love and miss you Joanna."
Love - Elder Stander.

Hello. Well we are teaching a couple of people all who are looking very positive for baptism. Now I know we're not suppose to have favorites, but I do, and his name is Jaco, (pronounced Yako) He is way chill and he took notes when we taught him, and he has kept all his commitments and he wants to talk about baptism this week when we meet with him! So sweet! He also wants us to go trail riding with him on our bikes! He is like my best friend, I have already decided!
On Wednesday I get to go to a baptism of a girl that I taught in St. Cloud! And I will get to see old Comps, and some loverly members from St. Cloud! I'm uber excited!
We possibly have a baptism for saturday too....so.....I don't know....I feel it needs to be moved back cause the kid doesn't have a testimony yet...he doesn't understand. I don't know.....we'll be meeting with him and talking with him and working things out....
Um......Star Wars is approved for watching on Zone P-days! I was excited about that!
I have Elvis Presely gospel music that is way cool, thats also exciting. I like Halloween. Um.....theres alll the exciting news anything else I share would be of unimportance and such So I will just leave it out! hope all is well and stays well.
also could you send me my tape thingy back that I sent home last year....cause you said you would send it back.....but....where is it? So....I just don't want you all to be liars (2Nephi 9:34)
Love- Elder Luke Stander
