Hey ya'll How are you guys doing? Its been a long and interesting week. I'mstill super tired from it all. We left early tuesday morning to getthere on time and then it was day in and day out of meetings all day.We stayed with some other missionarys this time there was a total of 8of us there for 4 days. It was packed and i had to sleep on the floor.And as i'm sure ya'll know that i can't sleep when i sleep on thefloor. I think i got a total of 4-5 hours everynight if i was luckymost of the time it was 3. And it didn't help with all of us inbasically one room haha so everybody was talking till midnight mostnights. My training went good i guess president came in and listenedto most of it and he said that i did an amazing job so i guess it wasok. In case you were wondering i gave like an hour training onrevelation through the book of mormon, but i mainly focused onpondering and how that will cause revelation. The meeting was reallyfun but i'm excited to be sleeping a bed even though it doesn't fit.My companion was in andarko which is just west of us by 20 miles hestayed there till i got back. Then after that we really didn't havemuch success. Even on a beautiful 80 degree saturday in january. Icouldn't believe it and then yesterday was in the high 20's. It was ahuge difference! I'm really lucky that i'm not sick like everybody wetalk to. I still haven't figured that out yet but i guess someone iswatching out for us. We should have a baptism in 2 weeks hopefullyright before transfers and one not to long after that. And maybe 2more after that. This week is suppose to be really bad weather. We gotan e-mail from president saying that we are suppose to stay insidetomorrow and not go out which is going to be alot of fun i have afeeling but hopefully after that it will be alot better weather so wecan get out and see people. Well thats about it for big news thisweek. Did you guys get my letter this last week with the news paperclipping? What did you think of it? hahaha well i'll write more nextweek about our fun filled week. Thanks for the new towel i need onepretty bad. Well love ya'll and talk to you next week
