January 23, 2012, Phone Call home!

Monday Jan. 23 we received a surprise phone call from Elder Branham at the hospital.  His dad has been in the hospital since Jan. 20th and his Mission President gave him permission to call home to check on Patrick.  He sounded totally awesome!  I asked him if he had been on the Indian Reservation and he said yes....He stated that they were not very nice Indians...ha.  He has been very busy working in Wyoming and really likes this area ALOT!  He and his companion stay in the Basement of a sweet Elderly Sister's home who he just loves.  He said that they have taught 26 lessons last week, 9 progressing well and possibly 7 - 9 baptisms next month.  He and his companion are working really hard and doing good.  He wanted me to send him the deer meatball recipe that I cooked for him and the Chicken enchilada recipe...I was sooo great to hear his voice and hear that he sounded really good...It also cheered up his dad to talk to him.  We are so proud of what he is doing.
