Dobré Ráno!!! Rodino moji. So, things are starting to look really great this transfer. Elder Price is awesome, and we are having a lot of success. About taking more pictures we will get on that because Elder Price and I both like to take pictures so that should result in some pictures being taken. We are actually going out today to specifically take pictures. The weather is really starting to warm up so that is a great blessing. Elder Price and I have started to put a greater focus on our health, so we go running every morning, and we are cutting back on what we eat and how much. I feel a lot better and more joyful. Being healthy is a great blessing especially on the mission because being sick puts a real damper on the missionary work. We have Zone Conference coming up on Friday and we have to have a training prepared. We are going to be training on the Book of Mormon and powerfully introducing it to our investigators to create a greater desire for them to read it and develop a stronger testimony on it that will help them to progress at a more stable rate towards baptism. With a strong testimony built on the Book of Mormon, any concern imaginable can be overcome.

It sounds like things are going well there in Georgia. I heard some weird things about Texas this past week. Keep having fun!

Here are the answers to your questions:
What are some things Elder Price and you have in common? We like the same style of music, photography, we have similar personality, and we like to be missionaries!
Are you getting along well? Yes, very well things are going great!
Does he like to work hard? Absolutely
Did you get the Easter package? Yup!!!
Which Elder did you share the other Easter basket with? Elder Price
Did you like the "book" that I sent? Yeah I did! I like it sooo much it is perfect! And everyone is super jealous they all ask were I got it and if it’s possible for them to get one as well. .
Is there another Czech food that you really love? Svickova, segedensky gulas, ovoce knedliky, and vepro-knedlo-zelo.

I love you all so much and wish you the best this week. You are always in my prayers. Say hi to the people in the Ward whenever you get a chance. Let Whitney and Jeff know that I love them, hope that they are having a blast together.

All my love, your son,
Starsi Nowland
