This week has been great. I am doing great out here. I am liking the ward.

Monday we had dinner with the Brundage family. They are the family we live with.

Tuesday we had a District and Zone meeting. We first started out as the district and followed up on the zones results for the last week. Then we talked about what we can do as missionaries in the Wichita zone to help the mission with 50 baptisms. We are at 23 baptisms as of Tuesday morning.  Then we separated in to the Districts and had District Meetings. Then we had lunch and then left back for Wellington. We were able to have a church tour before the Relief Society Meeting and explain what we teach our investigators and challenged them to invite someone to take a church tour.

Wednesday we went on a hunt for an apartment in Wellington for the senior missionaries that are coming on July 1. We had very little luck finding an apartment. We the visited less actives and had dinner with the Rinehart family. They are a fun family because they have kids that are older and like to talk and pick on their siblings.

Thursday we breakfast with the Brundage and their grandchildren. Also looked again for an apartment.  No luck finding one that will work. We also had time to go down the home teaching list and visit families that have not been visited in the last quarter. Then we had dinner with the Lawrence family in our ward. Brother Lawrence was able to come out with us after dinner. We also were able to get a rental car because our car has a recall on the front axel. We got a Ford Focus 2104 to drive.

Friday we called a lot of people asking if they had an apartment available. Then we went out to work on the Home Teaching list. Then we had s’morrs with the Brundage when we got back at night.

Saturday we took time to visit the towns we don't see lots. Went to the border of Kansas and Oklahoma. Then we had dinner by our self's. We used the Brundage’s kitchen to cook.

Sunday we had church. We had 3 less active family come and one family visiting a non member in our ward boundary. We ended up having 70 people at church this week. Then we had a ward Pot Luck and time to visit with the less actives.

This week has been great. Lots of less active work and apartment finding. Today one of the apartment owners called us back and might have a place ready by the first.

Thanks for everything.

Love,

Elder Andrew Allen
