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

Loved your email Elder Dunn, I get so little information out of Elder Bragg these days, it's nice to hear a bit about what's up in the Colorado Mission Field!
Rangely sounds like an intriguing place for sure. And I was just in Vernal about a month ago for a Missionary's Homecoming talk. Oh they don't call them that any more, but you know what I mean. Anyway, Vernal looked like Small Town USA, so I can't imagine what Rangely is like...WoW! Keep up the hard work, we're happy you are representing Oregon so faithfully! Thanks!
