Shiney Shoes & Shaving Machines

Dear Family & Friends,
This week has been great. We had a Zone Conference yesterday and Elder Richards (area seventies) presided. We went out that night and continued the mission work. We put 3 more people on date for baptism in one evening. The lord really does care for his children.
At the zone conference we had a shiney shoe contest. It was fun (I shined my shoes the night before), but my shoes were too new. They didn't want to compare brand new shoes with those that had been out for 2 years I guess.
My companion is from the Dominican Republic and still learning English. He wanted to go to Walmart to buy a shaving machine (electric razor)...it was pretty funny.
We had the opportunity to speak in church in our Spanish Branch. It went pretty well. Our topics were missionary work.
The work is going great here. Lots of walking, but it is so worth it. There are lots of dogs around. We got our first snow here--nothing stuck, but we've been watching it come farther and farther down the mountain over the weeks.
The Gospel of Jesus Christ really does bless everyone. Our faith is strengthened when we spend time with the Spirit--in the scriptures, prayers, etc.
Love,
Elder Bunker
