Dear Mom,

| Humidity in Allentown. |
I have a few things to ask of you mother first could you email me some pictures of each family member second could you send me your bread recipe and third could you send me some nose hair trimmers (they're getting a little wild). I hope your feeling better from your Kux love you.

(P.S.S. Minute is slang here for any measure of time)
Love you Mom!
The Bread Recipe
6 C flour
1 1/2 tsp salt
3 Cups lukewarm water
1 1/2 tsp yeast
Mix 6 cups flour and salt together. In another bowl add to 1 Cup of the water and 1&1/2 tsp yeast and set aside. Mix the rest of the water into the flour salt combo. When well-mixed, add the yeast water. Mix well, cover and let sit. (Note: None of these ingredients needs to be exact. If the dough is too playdough'ish add more water. If the dough is too watery...you'll add more flour after its raises. Depending on the quality and age of your yeast you're dough should raise enough to cook within 4-10 hours. I generally do it over night, it seems to work best.)
When you're ready to bake. Set the oven temperature to 400 degrees and heat up the pan and lid. Scrap the dough onto a floured surface. Depending on how wet your dough will determine whether you need a full cup of flour or a half cup of flour to knead into your mixture. Scrap the dough onto a flour surface and shape into a ball or oval. (Just needs to fit your oven proof pan.) I pour a little olive oil into the bottom of the pan, but you could use Pam spray as well. Put the lid on the pan and bake for 30 minuites. Then remove the lid and bake uncovered for 15 more minutes to brown the top of the bread.
Love you,
Mom

Thanks for the heads-up I love you and I have a lot of cool news and stories for you when you get back. I am getting a mini missionary, so we will see how that goes. Also things continue to go well for for me in Allentown we have some ne
w investigators and have five baptisms on the forecast. I hope you are having fun and I expect to here some fun stories of dear nuzzling and Ashton antics when you get home. Also it's all about your mind that if you want things to be good things will be good. That's what I learned here in Allentown. If you plan be
happy, you will be happy. If you want to be stressed about a camp out, you'll be stressed about a camp out. Keep doing your best. -Elder Dean
(Trevor wrote later "The mini missionary wasn't able to come. He had something come up. To put it in missionary terms we had a miscarriage.)

Things are going well not much has changed we are about half way through a the transfer so I will probably have a new companion in 3 weeks or so my trainer will probably leave but he could also stay nothing is to solid in missionary work. I'll write something about that for the blog later. Not much has happened this week. The days are starting to blur together. I love you I will write a news letter next week.
But to answer some of your questions,
- I get out of the car to make sure he doesn't scratch the car on the curb. We drive a Ford Fusion.
- I have started to keep a dream journal. My asleep mind is weird.
- Can you get dad to tell me some of his mission stories (maybe he can share them with everyone at a family home evening as well?)
- Peace save the whales!
-Elder Dean
