Feb 10th e-mail

Hey family! so i never got your email at all last week. Not even the one the that you resent. Of well as long as i get the package iam happy wiht that. SO what did you send to my last companion? He is really cool and fun. I called him the other day and he said that he is doing good with his new companion. Its about time that i get a letter from you guys. you said at christmas that you were goinig to write more i havn't got one yet oh well i will survive.I can't wait to go fishing we drove to a area here the other day and there was a really nice river that i wanted to go fly fishing on it so bad. The rivers here are to warm though for fish so it sucks. It is so beautiful up in the mountains i can't wait to see what it looks like here again in the spring. WOW its only a couple of months away. DANG there is only 3 months left till mothers day. Yahoo iam excited that is so soon then after that its time to come home. So you guys didn't catch any fish huh? That sucks. There is so many things that i want to do here on p-days but we hardly have any time to do anything with shopping, emailing, and writing letters. The weather here is amazingly warm its about 55 degrees and humid it feels so nice we all have short sleeve shirts on today.:D One thing that i wish is that it would snow like a foot. Our investigators are doing ok we lost one last week. I wil have to tell you about it in ly letter. But the other guy we had a horrible lesson last week so we fasted for him on saturday. We went back over last night and it was night and day. I love this gospel and Knowing that our heavenly father will answer our prayers. I had no idea that Rob served in christians burg that is so cool. I will tell you all abou what zone leaders have to do in my letter. Oh Yes we do have a cell phone all missionaries have one now.(all companionships) its nice now we can keep better trac of what is going on in the zone. Only the zone leaders get to text though. Tell bro Sokia and The ertals hi for me. Thanks! Hey can you get Josh's and Ryans new address for me. I want to write them and see how they are doing. Sounds like Aspen Brylee, and Porter are getting big i can't believe how much they have changed crazy. wow how fast time flys i was in my bed the other night and was pndering over the mission and it felt like yesterday that i just came out. It was wierd to think that i only have 9 months left that is so weird to me. I have learned so much about life and what our heavenly father expects of us. this is a great blessing to me at this time and will have an even bigger influence on my life. I got to go i love you all and miss you guys thanks for the email. Love ya lots. Love Elder Cory alan Downward

Exerpts from Cory's letter to Ashley this week!

"The weather here is the wierdest that I have ever seen. Last week it was -14 plus the wind-so cold! then this week it was 60 degrees, we were tracting wiht our sleeves rolled up. Now it is getting cold again! I wish it was snowing here, we have only got like 2 centimeters. I miss Utah."
"Things out here are going pretty good. This Sunday we had Michelle's baptism. It went great. I had the honor of performing the baptism. Everything went off without a hitch. "
