hey everybody!how are you doing this week? well i'm doing pretty good. this weekwent by pretty fast i can't believe that i've been here for almost 3weeks already. not much has changed this last week. we set a newbaptismal date with one of our investigators which i thought wasawesome, but she didn't come to church this week which was depressing.oh church thats right we talked in church this last week. it wentreally well. i changed my talk last minute and ended up talking aboutconversion before you share the gospel and then easy ways to share thegospel. then elder smith talked about the whole concept of missionarywork. but i think it was a hit we had a lady come up to us and haveus giver her our phone number so that she could call us when she findssomebody to teach. so i think we did a pretty good job. me and eldersmith are getting along great! its been a crazy couple of weeks withhim. haha funny story this last week he started to talk in his sleepand it woke me up and i looked over and he had his hands up in the airlike he was riding a motorcycle (he raced them back home) and hestarted to make engine noses like he was racing so i started to askhim some questions and he answered. it was pretty funny i still get akick out of it everytime i think about it. and the next night he wasan airplane shooting missiles. so its never been a dull moment herewith him. so thats made it a fun 3 weeks. with halloween this week endwe didn't get much work done. i got to go to 2 trunk or treats i wenton exchanges with the other elders in my district. so yeah you askedthat question i think we have 5 elders in our district. us andanadarko who have 3 elders there. then saturday night we had our trunkor treat here in chickasha. it was fun but since its such a smallbranch not many people showed up. but we got to run a little bowlinggame which was fun but got tiring after a while. we also carved ourpumpkins. we actually did 2 each because we had so much fun doingthem. i carved a skull and cross bones and a guy screaming and my compdid a wolf and 3 skulls. i took some pictures so that you could seethem but the computers here at this library wont let you plug yourcamera in and send pictures so yeah. i did take pictures of my suits i loved the pictures of all the kidsin there costumes. they looked pretty cool. i dressed up as amissionary here so that was pretty scary for some people. they evenran from us in terror haha. lets see thats about it. i'm glad you gotto meet bro thatcher. hes a great guy! he had us over for dinner somuch it was a blast at their house. well i've got to get going weare late today since we had to wait for computers. its good to hearfrom all of you guys
