hey how you doing this week?
i'm not doing to bad its been kind of a stressful week like everyother week. which is really kind of dumb but oh well. umm not much has happened this week just the same old stuff but guess what happened on saturday? i got another flat tire. this time it happened about 2 miles away from the apartment. it sucked then elder riches got one the next day i guess it was a really slow leaker. so we both ended up with a flat. i think i have bad luck i didn't get one the 3 months i was in the city but i have gotten two in 4 weeks. i think its really ridiculous. we have a baptism coming up this week end for 3 kids of a recent convert. it will be this sunday so i'm really excited about that. so we have a busy week trying to scrabble to get everything ready for that. i got the pictures of charles. that was awesome to see you guys with him. he is so funny i wish i was still down there to see him. but oh well i'll see him agian sometime hopefully. oh i also have to plan out a huge district meeting and do a baptism interview this week. i can't believe its almost transfers too. next week is transfers. i wonder what will happen i think its up in the air i am pretty sure that i'm staying but you never know what will happen. i think that elder riches will leave and go somewhere else and it would probably be for the better. oh i have my memory card i will be sending it home this week but it doesn't have any news pictures on it from this area i haven't taken any yet so i will send some when i do. umm lets see thats about it for this week i can't believe dad retires this week! thats so crazy it seams like it was yesterday that i was he had a year left haha and its still really hot here i can't believe it i thought it would cool down by now but no its still plugging along. yeah i got the package the carmel corn was really good its all gone. lets see i have no idea what i want for my birthday maybe just some money or something. actually i need a new belt that would be awesome. i'll think about it and let you know. i really need a new suit though i'm getting tired of the massive one i have to wear. i'll take a picture and send it with my memory card. well thats about it for this week i have to get going talk to y'all later. good luck with school everybody let me know how it goes. sorry i don't have time to write to everybody i'm so busy this last couple of weeks.
love y'all
