Hello,
I actually stayed in Frankfort, Indiana it is the first time I did not get transferred since being here so it has been good though it will give myself and Elder Allred (companion) the chance to see David one of the guys we committed to baptism. However that being said neither of us will baptize him because the Branch Pres. here taught David in high school and so he wanted him to do that baptism but it's cool we get to be here and watch this happen for David he is such a stud!!.
We met a new guy named Eric and went in and shared our message with him. While doing so he asked his little 4 year old boy to go get some water in a bottle for his baby, the bottle had a bit of formula in it and this boy walked past me, and i was sitting on the floor cause this guy had no chairs, and he dumps this formula on me. I was like WHHAATTT?!?!?! I just laughed and shrugged it off, thats what makes good memories is when you dont make a big deal about something funny like that! It was a sweet experience!
I got invited last week to go back to Indy 2 to see the McClinticks get baptized. Elder Thomas and I in Indy 2 found this family and they invited me to come back and to witness it. They asked if i would give a brief talk on baptism and i did. It went so well and it was awesome to see someone that i found be baptized! Elder Allred and I are doing great! We have our times but we get over them quickly. Were enjoying working together alot!
The weather has been chilly,raining and wet the last few days, so ive gotten good use outta my jacket and its holding up very well. Today is sunny and on the cooler side. We have been experiencing some nice, nice weather here. We are being blessed so much with it! I am so excited for the winter. You know me i love the elements and i have learned to love them more while i ahve been out here cause were in it all day long! Cant wait to get back home and go hiking or riding bikes in the rain again or go shoveling the foot and a half of snow! Im pumped for the day.
So for those of you who don't know Indianans have some sayings out here that are just funny so I have heard some good ones like
I hear the phrase "wicked awesome" at least once a day if not more! There are a lot of other phrases that Indianans say that are funny like, "sweeper" that's a vacuum, "a couple three" and that's just a few. It's all good I may yes bring some of that slang back with me ya never know.. We have a huge zone conference tomorrow for the whole mission. Its for training on the mormon.org media blitz that is going to be happening here in Indiana. There going to be have commercials, billboards, signs on buses and taxis and more. It going to blow Indiana up we are hoping, so i am looking forward to that! Also, I am looking forward to General Conference so much. I hear its like the super bowl for missionaries. Im pumped! David, our investigator, is going to be making his famous sweet chil
i for the priesthood session. David is SOLIDDD!!!!!!
Well I think that is it for today! Have a good week and well be talking soon. Love ya!
Ya'll come back now ya hear? -Bro. Brackett (ward mission leader, hes so awesome)
Love you and miss you so much! :) -Elder Fausett

Hello,
Well another week has gone by and I am feeling pretty good.. The last 2 weeks have been going good for my companion and I. We are finding so many people. The elders that were here before us were kind of lazy and didn't do a lot of work in fact they were thinking of closing Frankfort area down and I told them no ya aren't going to do that, and lo and behold we have committed two people to baptism it's so exciting. We have finally moved in to our new apartment and feel like I can actually focus more now. so that has been a good thing. This last week it got a little chilly and this week it will be a little hotter then next week it is supposed to be in to 50's so I hear.. I enjoy it though nice change. My home sickness is not affecting me anymore honestly I am getting used to being on my own now. I don't want to come home JK JK!! I love going to bed knowing I am in the right place right now and I love to see the people change as we are teaching them over a period of time. It's an addiction I have I love it!!!
Please tell everyone hello for me and that I love you all and until we meet again.. Take care

Hello,
Yes another week has passed. The time is flying. This week marks my 4th month. YAY!! I wanted to let everyone know to send any letters to the mission home right now we are going to be moving in to a new apt. on Sept. 5th.
I bought me a nice suit here at a place called Goodwill for like 10 buck (score). They are all over out here. I have learned a lot of praying. I have done a lot of it. i probably spend more time on my knees then on my feet to say the least haha some prayers are at night or during the day and some are super long and take most of my breaks sometimes. I have also learned to have a prayer in my heart throughout the day and also while we are finding and teaching. I pray for others and my companion.
I just got over another cold as well. There has been a summer cold going around the mission lately. I am over it now and am feeling great again. The days are going by quickly for me and it's unreal to imagine that it has already been four months!! My homesickness comes and goes a little here and there but I feel good I don't dwell on it to much. I was given a great book by Bro. Howland in our ward in Spanish Fork before I left that is the best book I have read it 10 times it tells how we can control out thoughts to be negative and positive that book has inspired me to set short term & long term goals, so i have set some now. I have focused a lot on my purpose and also my purpose after my mission and it's motivated me to accomplish this goal I have set to finish my mission so I can acheive the other goal I have set after my mission.
another week down and about 50 (give or Take) more to go till I am home haha..
C ya soon!
Love ya all

Hello Family,
All is well I have been transferred to my third area in Indiana and I am loving the area. Currently I am in the city of Frankfort, Indiana. I have a new companion who is 7' 12" tall he is the coolest guy ever! He has taught me a lot already in the little time I have been here. I had a sweet experience last Saturday (13th.) My companion and I were just getting done from a full day of knocking & having no luck. We were driving down a road that we took a wrong turn on & we came across a laundry mat at laundry mats we leave cards in case someone is there they can take it if they are interested. So we stopped to do just that & there was a bad storm moving in at the time so we got into the laundry mat and we beheld a man there (what was that word all about "beheld?" I must be reading a lot of scriptures haha.) We gave this man a card and he wasn't to interested so we just casually talked with him & later that led us to finding out that his wife had just passed away just a month previous. so....you guessed it that lead to a lesson about the plan of salvation in a laundry mat with it pouting and thundering outside. This guy wants to be baptized. These are just some of the miracles happening everyday out here and my experience has been absolutely amazing and I am so grateful for a good companion and we have the best Mission president Pres. & Sis. Collins!! This is the best mission ever I know a lot of missionaries say this but Indiana is the best mission!! well ta ta for now take care and I love you all. Continue to have hope and keep the faith!!
