Dear family,

How are you guys? Thanks for all the emails and prayers, I can reassure you that I feel those prayers. Some days I feel an extra strength or energy, pushing me that day, and I'm not sure where it came from. I testify of the power that comes from sincere prayer. Keep them coming. 

Things are going really good! I love my area, my companion, and the people we're teaching! I'm sorry for another short email but I love this gospel and you guys!

Love,

Elder Strader

P.S Who keeps saying that I'm getting fat on the mission??? Haha
