hey whats up?i'm doing good today hot but i'm doing good. lets see nothing really happened this last week beside the usual stuff except for we were able to meet with the golden contact that wants to get baptized. and i guess that he wants to get baptized when he goes to logan in august. which i think will happen he is ready for it and says he wants to be a member. he also wants to go and serve a mission as a senior couple really soon so thats really cool. hes a really cool guy too. he used to box so he is pretty big and strong but a really good guy. the only bad thing about this is he lives like 40 miles away from us. and since we have limited miles we can't go out there. maybe once a month but not more then that so thats the only bad thing. but i guess he says that we have to come at least one more time he is going to cook us some catfish and some rattlesnake which i think sounds really good! but yeah that the big news around here not much else. all we have been doing is tracting. not very many people to teach out here in ardmore. but we are hoping to change that. and we are getting a new mission president next week. he comes in on the 29th. we are going up the 30th to meet him. which i think is a waste of time and a waste of miles because we are only meeting with him for like an hour to say hi and so he can see us and we can see him. then we have zone conference either the week after or the week after that. and its just going to be our zone so i won't get to see much anybody else since everybody i know is in different zones now. and yeah president gee meets with him for 3 hours and tells him about some stuff and then thats it he leaves and never comes back. he actually came down here to say goodbye. which was pretty cool and he complimented on how clean our apartment was since i cleaned it the day before. but that was the last time we will see him. oh and i have to speak for the first time in church on the 11th of july. for 10 min. so it wont be bad at all. maybe that will get members feeding us and having them give us people to teach. our dinner calender has been having issues the last couple of weeks only like 2 or 3 people sign up this week only 1 did then we went and told a few members and they said: man that sucks so we will feed you. oh well i'll surivive i guess. lets see your questions.... yes i will write to you. i have been busy the last few weeks. i write everyweek and e-mail and an letter when i can. transfers are like july 20 or something like that 5 weeks away! we are getting along ok. hopefully this transfer goes by fast!yeah i got my coat and it fits great! you can buy 3 litters of dr. pepper or one gallon of milk. thats just crazy so i have had to go back to pizzas and burritos this last week. but oh well next month is going to be a good month. yeah i've been working out each day. i ran 2 miles the other night i am hoping with the new mission president they will let us go and get a pass to a gym. that would be awesome president gee said that we can't which is no fun. do i need anything umm not that i can think of. if i think of anything i'll let you guys know. oh happy fathers day dad. i didn't even know it was fathers day till saturday night when somebody told us that it was. so sorry i didn't get you a card. hows work by the way? still loving every second? hows tate doing? he looks like he is doing great and that the kids are having really fun with. yeah michael e-mailed me that he was moving. which is cool. hopefully he can survive in a small town haha. but what i want to know what happened to all that work we put into that apartment. oh well i guess. well thats about it for this week. i'll try to write today i can't garentee anything. so have a good day. love y'all later skater
