Hello...another week has gone by and the transfer is over next week! which i am looking forward to but sadly enough i think that i will be still having the same companion. president gee told me in interviews this last week that i will probably be still having him down here. which means it might be a long 6 weeks. yeah your all probably laughing and mom was right i can don anything for 6 weeks but 12 is pushing it! lets see this week we had a temple conference which was way cool! i really enjoyed it. it was a really long day of driving though which wasn't so much fun but oh well. we had to get up at 5:30 to get ready and be up there 9:30. it was about a 2 1/2 hour drive. then we had a little zone conference then went to the temple for a session then had lunch then had another 30 min meeting then we were sent off. for another 3 hour drive because we hit traffic on the way out. so that was way fun. but don't worry i was able to stop at wendys on the way back which made the drive worth it. lets see it was a weird feeling it was my last interview with president gee and last zone conference. president taylor comes in on the 28th he told us and then we get to meet him on the 29th or 30th. which should be interesting with him being a lawyer and everything things might change alot which is sad. i got some cool pictures of me and the temple and of the temple. its way small. lets see i would compare it to the size of a gym except a little wider. but its a really beautiful temple. what do you think? i also took some pictures of some other cool stuff this last week. we went to the veterens center where they have some cool old tanks and stuff then we went to pretty much the very edge of our area yesterday to the border of texas. since we had nothing to do all day and the tracting for 2 hours before talking with only 7 people we needed a break so i said lets drive down to thackerville and see whats down there and tract and see the casino. its where 5 or 6 members work. its the 3rd biggest in the world so its HUGE! but around the outside they had like different things like big ben from london the coliseum the Renaissance and a bunch of other stuff. its way cool to see. lets see our numbers this week weren't very good. it seamed like everybody we tried to see was not home. all of our lessons pretty much came from tracting which was rough. and yes its getting really hot. its in the high 90's lately and really humid. i don't know if i will survive this summer! but yesterday for the holiday we tried a bunch of people i think about 12 all within about 45 min. so we tracted for about 2 hours only talking with 7 people so then we drove down to thackerville then tracted the 4 or 5 houses we saw there then drove back tracted for another hour talked to 2 people then had dinner at applebees. one of the members works there so she bought us dinner then after that we tracted more and talked to another 4 or 5 people. i'm prettty sure missionary work is worthless on holidays like that. nobody will answer or want to talk. we saw about 1000 people with boats going to go boating and i was so jealous. especially in the heat. but anyway thats was our week long and stressful. but over. the picture of the birdhouses was funny i really liked that. but as you can tell they still like mine more then dads. the frozen spider we left in there for a day or two then we were going to put a string on it and see if we could make it go around on a string but we got bored and busy so we just threw it out but it was completely frozen. did you like the video of us breaking in to our house? so i was thinking that i should just switch weather you can take this heat and i will trade for the cold. well thats it for today i'm signing off for now. hope you enjoy the pictures. talk to you next week with news about transfers.
