Hey Mom,

  Well conference was good, I didn't fall asleep at all through the whole thing. haha Well, all the talks were really good and Uchtedorfs talk was awesome. It was funny when he said Stop It! I liked how they talked about families and how they are sacred and they are ordained of god and how we can be together forever!!! What hit me hard during conference was when they were talking about families. I was thinking if Jeremy is sealed to our family? That would be a wonderful thing if he was sealed to us!!! or maybe he is. I hope he writes me as I would love to talk to him! I am grateful for him letting me get to see him and that is cool he got to see Bridget and Sam. What did they drive up there? I don't have any notes here with me but there were a lot of talks I liked. Ballard's talk on how he said time is running out! I wish I would have brought my notes with me. I will get them when I get to Eagle Point. Well that is awesome you got some boarders today. How many horses did you get? Oh, we didn't get any investigators to church:) but it was still good. Oh, I took 60 bucks out of my account to give to this family. They stopped by the church on Saturday and said they were homeless and needed just a place to wash up. So I took 60 out because I prayed and asked the Lord what I should do and I had a strong feeling to go do this for them. I don't know why and I don't like the homeless begging for money but this situation was different and they also watched the second session of conference on Saturday and they really liked it! Well, it's crazy that I passed my 6th month mark!!! It feels like I have been out for 3 months. Crazy how time flies. Hey, so did you get my sd card I sent in the mail? I am going to send a package home too. Well, that is cool that Dillon Benevidas is going on a mission. Ben has been out so long and I think Dillon Keith comes home too this year!  Well, I hope John and Karlee can buy that house. I will fast for them and pray. I love you guys so much. I got to get going. I will talk to you later. I am way excited for my new area and the area I am going into is getting white washed. So all my areas so far have been white washed!
Love, Elder Reed

Hey Dad,

  I got 2 baptisms and it was way neat. I hope this family I have been teaching gets baptized too! I bet that 25 miles was way fun. I bet Stetson did great! I love that horse. I know that I found my person I got sent here for. It is Steve and Melissa Holmes. I am praying for rain down there as it seems to flood up there in Oregon. Well, I love you so much and I talk to you later.
Love you Dad

 Hey here are some pictures.

 I am getting transferred to Eagle Point, Oregon. 
I think that is where James served.
