Happy Thanksgiving

Hello Dunn Family! So ya not a normal pday, but we get time today for email, then tomorrow is a full Pday so ya. Good news we have a dinner for Turkey day! Pretty exciting huh? Someone finally felt sorry for us and signed up so that is cool. But as for the rest of the day, I have no idea what we are going to do. So are you having anyone over for Thanksgiving or is it just the fam? I’m not to sure how our meal will be, I hope it will be good, but it was just nice of the family to have us over, so I’m happy with that :)

Ya and to answer your question mom in your letter the members we live with are in Salt Lake for the week so ya that’s why they aren’t feeding us. But ya we live in their basement and we do share the kitchen and fridge and all that. We are supposed to have our own shelf set apart, but we have are own bathroom, that’s a must, so ya that’s kinda how it works.

Man that’s so cool about Alan, I didn’t know that! That will be so good, I love that kid lol.

Oh thanks so much for the letter and pics and package. I got them all yesterday! I was so excited! Thank you, and thanks for the food! I’m gonna get fat now that I’m not on a bike lol. Oh soo for Christmas I’m thinking about a GPS, now that I’m in an area where we drive lots and go far. It’s basically a need, my comp Elder Coley has one right now, but I think he is gone next transfer, so ya that would be nice for Christmas. I really like the "Garmin" brand they seem to work the best.

Hey and it was good to here from Clara and Syd. Man here in Rangely they get the whole week off from school isn’t that crazy!?

But ya so basically for this week the population of the city died to like half of what it normally is cuz everyone is out of town. So this week is hard for missionary work, we had our district mtg yesterday in Craig, it’s like 90 miles from here. So we drove up the night before and stayed the night. It was in the BIG city! Craig has about 10,000 and they have a Wal-Mart! Crazy! It’s funny how being in the town you get so used to it, I mean when me and Elder Coley got to Craig and saw all the ppl and stop lights and all that we were like wo! Feels like we are back in metro lol and we were complaining about traffic if we had to wait for more than two cars! lol it’s funny. But it was a fun trip, I gave a training on the power and authority of our calling and how to be a successful missionary, it went well.

Well I better get going, I love you all. Have a good weekend and make sure to eat lots for me. :)

I just wanted to wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving and a Merry Christmas. Things here in the Colorado Denver South Mission are going very well. I love being a missionary and being able to feel the spirit daily and help play a role in bringing souls unto Christ. I hope this holiday season you will all remember the true meaning of Christmas and strive to give those around you the greatest gift of all, by sharing with them the gospel of Jesus Christ. I love you all and thank you for all that you have done for me and all of your support.

Hey there fam!
Ya I did get your letter mom, thanks :) That was crazy about that bear lol I couldn’t believe that. So while you’re getting new carpet and moving the TV and all that, you guys should just buy a new TV! Right? It’s about time to don’t ya think? A nice big 52in flat screen HD TV, that’s what you should do lol. Man that’s crazy about Bro Schmidt, ya he was in there for a while, but I think Bro Whitney will do really well.

Man 12 baptisms this year, that’s way awesome! I always tell missionaries out here of the success there and what’s going on and all that, like me and Elder Bragg were talking about that last Wed. at the temple and talking about how we wanna serve in the Medford ward. lol Man and I just read my comp that paragraph about the zone blitz, that’s so awesome! That could be put together so well and have people follow through with it and make it happen. That’s way awesome.

Ya I have heard from Seth, he has written me two or three letters and sends an email every once and a while. He is doing good and loving it. He had his first baptism last week, and I think what he was saying is that it was in the ocean! And he did the baptizing so he said that’s every missionaries dream in his mission and he experienced it his first or second transfer. Way cool.

So I got transferred and I’m basically in the middle of no where! The town I’m in is called Rangely, and about 2,000 people live here. There is one stop light, three gas stations, one grocery market, three liquor stores, this place called Burrito Express AND a Subway. lol And that’s it! We also cover another town called Dinosaur that is about 20 or so miles away, it has 200 ppl there and we usually go out there once a week. But they do have the "B & B Restaurant" and they have a 2 pound burger and if you eat it all you get your pic on the wall, so I’m probably gonna have to try that. lol But its way crazy here. The closest set of missionaries to us is like a two hour drive and that’s to a town of 10,000. That’s where we have our district mtgs but we only have one district mtg a transfer cuz it’s so far. Everyone here drives big trucks and wears Carhart clothes and hunts. It’s pretty awesome. Oh man BUT check out my pic! Dinosaur is about 4 miles from Utah and about 18 from Vernal. Everyone in town goes to Vernal for all of their shopping and all that cuz everything is way! outrageously priced. Its crazy cuz they have a monopoly on it so they can put the prices to what ever they want and unless you wanna go to Utah (or even can in my case) you pay what they say. Every once and a while some members will go to Vernal and ask us if we need anything so that’s good. But Friday we have a zone conference that’s going to be in Grand Junction so we have to leave Thursday for a road trip to GJ, so that’s like a little over 100 miles and then we will stay the night with missionaries and do zone conference Friday then drive back. So while we are there we are going to do some shopping and stock up on anything we need cuz it’s a lot cheaper there.

So there are two wards we cover out here so that’s cool. We live with one of the bishops, the Millers, they are really nice. They live in "La Mesa" oooo! lol That’s basically the richest neighborhood here so everyone out here says that when we tell them where we live. lol Its funny. Well that’s a little bit about Rangely. Well I’ll talk to ya next week! Love ya Elder Dunn
