Hey Good Morning Everybody Well I Guess Its Good Afternoon...
Hows your week been? mine was way fun. so since i know you really want to know about transfers i'll tell you. guess where i'm going...... guess..... nowhere haha thats right i'm staying and elder lewis is going back to the south of oklahoma city. my new companion's name is elder staggs i think thats how you spell it. i guess hes been out for a while but yeah it should be fun i hope. i was really sad when elder lewis said that he was going to leave. we both wanted to stay together for another transfer but oh well. i guess this is for the best. so i will be getting a new companion tomorrow morning about 10 o'clock in moore oklahoma then we have a 2 hour drive to ardmore. but i'm thinking about stopping off at a wendys on the way home. oh i forgot to tell you me and elder lewis stopped at wendys 2 weeks ago on the way back from zone conf. that ended my streak of like 150 days of no wendys.
so i'm glad to hear that dad is doing very splended. sounds like everything went according to plan. its just a big blur to him thats funny. thats how it was when i got my wisdom teeth out. i didn't remember very much of it. so how movies have you watched dad? you gone through every router workshop season? haha :) wow and you get 6 weeks off! wow thats forever you won't want to go back. how many days till you retire? has the countdown begun Yet? i bet your way excited for that day.so hows the weather there? its just getting hotter and hotter here. except for today. today there is a cold wind so its a little different but if it wasn't for that it would be about 80. i have a feeling its going to be a hot summer. so this last week was a good week for the whole mission i guess. president gee sent out an e-mail congratulating everybody. i guess the whole mission taught 1100 lessons, with like 140 new investigators. thats way cool!!! he said that is the most that has ever been taught or new investigators since he has been here. it was also a good week for me and elder lewis. we taught 20 lessons talked with 103 people about the gospel. that was a good way to end i think. we wanted to get 200 contacts but my back started to hurt and so did elder lewis'. so we weren't able to get that much but we got our goal of 100 contacts. lets see last week was a fun p-day. i got to go to a steak house and have all you can eat ribs. and salad bar and rolls. it was so much food. i of course ate to much. but they were amazing ribs haha but not as good as moms i don't think. they didn't pull off the bone sadly. umm yes and we are going golfing again today! hopefully i do better this time then last time. i think that i will hopefully. haha jealous jeremiah? michael? haha and its free! and we are going to have navajo tacos tonight for dinner which is going to be awesome. lets see and i think that i might be driver which will be way cool! but i will be driving a little toyota corrolla oh well i'm looking forward to it. lets see thats not good to hear about ashton. at leat they caught it early that can be way bad if you don't. you'll have to tell him that i say hes jimmy baboo and so is everybody else. and no rush on the shirts i have tons now i don't really need them till it startes getting really hot and i'm on a bike. Well tell everybody hi for me. oh how did neils farewell go? did i tell you shaun got his call he is goint to phonix arizona, and skyler is going to ummm let see he is going well i can't remember but somewhere that speaks spanish. i'll tell you in the letter i write. oh how did chris' wedding go did you hear at all? thats weird to think that he is married now . well thats all i got for today. have a good week
