Hey! how are things going for you guys? i hope that all is well for you guys and that things have been going really well. it sounds like things are going well, because i am not hearing to much complaining. but it sounds like you had a pretty cool experience with that McFadden guy and i think that it sounds pretty familiar, hit name anyways. but that is nuts. but things are going pretty well for me and my companion here. i arrived right after his companion died or went home. so our teaching pool wasnt huge so we are doing some searching and we have found a few people and are still searching, because you know how some people are about wanting to hear the gospel. they dont wanna hear it. so we search and those that accept the messages that we teach we keep teaching and those that dont well we dont show up at there houses anymore. but we have a wedding and a baptism this coming saturday and then we will have another wedding that we just marked at the end of February of a family that the mother is a member but no one else is. so we a looking at 5 mot baptisms with the family and it has been good. my companion and i get a long really well and we have been having a blast together. there is also this brazilian that i live with that acts exactly like Jeremiah. it is really weird. but their personallities are so similar so we have a blast with him as well. i love the district that i am in they are all hilarious and it is good. because i took the place of a slacker missionary that had a difficult on the mission in the field. and he would set up places to see and he would kiss her. i just couldnt believe some of the stuff that he was doing and everybody couldnt stand him. so when i came in they were so excited and it is just been awesome. we might go bowling today still, but i am not sure. we will see what happens. and well this area also has a lot of problems with (snakes) or in this case girls that want missionaries WAY BAD. where we live the girls stare at our house outside of windows watching us get undressed and stuff. it is pretty creepy. you have to be careful. and even some of the member girls have tried holding missionaries hands and it is just a crazy area. but no worries if some girl touches my hand i am going to give her a round house kick in the stomach. i daont take that crap. haha jk, but seriously. anyways.....it is good that Utah won it is pretty cool to hear, but it sucks because now i am going to hear all about it forever from my companion. he is a lot like steven, but he decided to repent and go on a mission. but things are going awesome and i dont have anything to complain about. except for the mission isnt easy and it is really hot in this fetching city. but the other day we got into a freezer that was at -15 degrees Celsius. it was freaking awesome. i could have stayed in there all day and i would have loved it. we went in it because there is a member in this ward that owns an ice cream factory and we wanted some ice cream so we went there and we bought 100 ice cream things. and now our freezer is packed full of ice cream. but i really dont have much more to write about, but i love you and i hope all is well for both you and kaya and tell kaya to stay out of trouble and that she needs to start going to church. but i love you guys and i will talk to you next week. i love the gospel and i love the mission. and i got the package. THANKS!!!! IT IS HUGE!!!!!
