We received an E-mail from Payden on Monday Oct 5th. He said they had a very busy week and that it was the most successful one. During their tracting time they had found some inactive members to teach and also new investigators that they will be teaching. He said they talked to a guy that is scitso and he hears voices and was asking if God could be a girl. He said it was kinda funny and odd. He said that they were able to watch conference - all ten hours. He said he loved it! He said that his favorite speakers were Tad R. Callister and and Elder L. Tom Perry.He liked Elder Perry's because he was tearing anti Mormons apart and they were rooting for him quietly. Paydens new companion is Elder Kennedy and he likes him. We love to hear from him - cant wait for the next E-mail!!!

Payden wrote to tell us that he is staying in Silverdale and was not transferred. His companion Elder Wadsworth was transferred though and Payden got a new companion. His name is Elder Kennedy and he is from Pheonix Az. He is the new district leader and talks a lot more than Elder Wadsworth. Payden will have to introduce him around and help him learn the area. Payden said he was asked by the sister missionaries to baptize one of their investigators - a ten year old girl named Alex. He said that he will be sending pictures soon. Wouldn't that be great!
