Hey! how are things going there? i sure look likes things are going well, but i am sure that there little difficulties everywhere. things are going pretty good here, we are going to be having four baptisms this weekend end. which is good, because it has been about a month since we baptized anyone, so that is come good news. and we also have a ton of people in our teaching pool. we have been finding a ton of new people and the members have been giving a ton of referals and we have been having a lot of success. we had a really good starting week in the transfer and i hope that the transfer will either continue like this or get better. but things are going really well and i also forgot to tell you something pretty cool about my companion. he is the oldest elder missionary in the world....he is 29 years old. it is crazy, because he left for his mission when he was 27 because of some complications with his papers and he still had the desire to go so the church gave him permition. it is pretty cool and he is way cool. but things are going way good here. but i just received a huge suprise today. i cant believe that Jeremiah has a kid! but that is awesome, i am super excited for him and michele as well. but you should tell them to write me and send some pictures of the kid and them together. and i cant believe that camille and sam are going to hawaii, it sure would be nice if someone would tell me about all the things. i havent been receiving any letters from any one. so either my letters arent getting to the people that i write to or people just arent writing to me. but either way it would be nice to receive some letters. it is kinda annoying not receiving any letters from anyone. but i guess that the life of the missionary. it just sucks, because i wrote about 20 letters last week and i havent received any. except for one from you and a couple from grandma norton. and you need to continue to send my emails to them as well. but yeah i things are going here. i almost pooped myself two times this week, because we got stuck in a lesson for a little one time and the other time was because we were way far from home. and i am tell you that that feeling is one of the worst feelings in all the world. i pray that i dont have to feel it again. but we did find an awesome young man this week. and it was a pretty cool experience because we found him in an area that has a bunch of houses and i had no idea that this place even existed. we were just looking for an address one day but couldnt find it, so we decided to go down this alley and we found him. it was a cool little spiritual experience, because i know that the Lord lead us there to help him. because he has an addiction to drugs really bad, but he really wants to stop and leave the life that he is caught in. so we are trying to do our best to help him out and get him baptized as well. because he went to church with us and he really liked it a lot and said that he wants to be baptized, but first we have to take care of the hard part first and then we will dunk him. but things are going really well and i hope that you will be able to get some time off. because i bet that you do need it. i have already decided that i want a good vacation after my mission. because it is alot of work and you really dont have a lot of time for yourself. so i am already trying to think of some things that i will be able to. but i love this work it has been going really well. and if you write to casey anytime soon tell him that i did write him, but it looks like there might be some mail problems there. of the letters that i have been receiving they have been coming in really late as well. like i received a little from him the he sent almost a month ago. but things are going good and i am really loving the work. but i do miss the family and i love you as well. i hope that all is going well for everyone and well i love you and i miss you. tell kaya that i love her and miss her as well and give her a hug for me. and tell her to stay out of trouble and be good. tell the ward hi for me as well but i love you and i miss you mom.
