Dear Family,
The library was closed yesterday but we had a fun p-day. We had a zone pday and played basketball all day and had a fun time! Our week was interesting; we had our leadership training meeting again on Tuesday for the month of Jan. and learned a lot of cool things. The mission president is changing something. He now made it so if you 2 sets of missionaries in a ward you can only stay in your area to eat and can't leave. We have like no members in our area, they are all in Parmas area, so we have no more meals this week. I think we might have one next Sunday but I talked to the APs, who one used to be in this area, and I said "hey, we don't have any members in Cleveland" and he laughed and said "well I guess you will starve". But then said try to get people to feed you, which isn't working to well. So if anyone wants to send like money or Subway or McDonalds gift cards they would be greatly appreciated! :) The bus does have some sort of heat on it so it is a lot warmer than just sitting outside or walking! It was pretty cold this week; but something cool is that today it's 38 degrees right now and it's so warm! It kinda makes me laugh!

The Hindu family is doing good. We weren't able to meet with them this Sunday but they are still doing good. Also, there is another family, the Mulhollands, that the mom is less active and the rest of the family isn't members so we are working with them. On exchanges, Elder Stephenson and Elder Tracy went over and they said that the 14 year old wants to be baptized and the rest of the family is really open, so that's good news! But they got sick this week so we couldn't meet with them! A lot of people were sick this week, even me and my companion, it seems to just be a sick week here in Cleveland! I found out that my trainer, Elder Heyland, is now engaged to Sis Wright, who came out with me. Sas been home for about 8 weeks now and they are planning to get married in June! It was pretty funny, I can't believe he is getting married so fast!

Rick is doing fine but not really progressing that well. He just doesn't understand a whole lot, but we are still trying to work with him. We are trying to just read the Book of Mormon with him and try to explain it as we read! Oh, something I would recommend for everyone is go to mormon.org and fill out a profile on there! It would be really good and a great way for you to do missionary work without having to really go out and talk to people. So if you think you too shy or just don't know what to do, get online and do that! Well love you and thanks for all you guys do for me and I hope you have a great week! Love you and miss you!

Love, Elder Price
