Hey Everybody! Well its been an interesting week. I'm now up here in the north part of oklahoma city. We live off of council and northwest expressway. The funny thing is the day before transfers me and elder jacobs went to the temple with a member here and we stopped for lunch across the street from where we are living now. I thought that was quite funny. The temple was a blast we did 2 sessions... the only thing was i was super tired after all that. I said goodbye to as many as i could but i missed some people which was really sad. They made me promise that i would come back to visit so looks like i'll be making a trip back through here sometime. Transfers was really fun i got to say goodbye to some people... Which is crazy to think that Elder Riches is home now. I got up here and met my new companion whos name is Elder Guinto. I met him last LTM so that was kind of on purpose i think. Hes from Elpaso Texas by the border. Hes a interesting guy really serious so its been an interesting week. Its been funny i can't always be serious so its been funny. Yeah we have a huge district theres 10 of us and then a spanish district with 6 so theres a lot of missionaries around here. We are going to get together and play basketball today for p-day so i'm pretty excited about that. I guess in 2 weeks or so they are spliting the district though and i will be with 2 other sets and then the other one will have 3 sets so thats going to be fun... im still really confused about it and how everythings going to work out but i'll just let it happen and see after. Conference was awesome we all were at the stake center watching it. I really liked all the talks but i felt like i really needed to get married really fast... SCARY!!!!!!!!!! i think 3 people hit on that and then President Monson hit it really hard in the Priesthood session. I love the area up here, i'm so glad to be back up in a city. A lot more people are willing to listen. Our first 2 days of tracting we taught 5 lessons off of tracting! Yeah i think we taught one in the last 2 weeks in chickasha. So the people are really more accepting up here so i'm really happy about that. Ok so to answer the loads of questions... Yeah the suit fits still and is all good. I'm in a car for as of right now but it might get taken away when they split the districts or next transfer so thats not good right for the summer like last year! Our ward is the OKC 3rd Ward and we actually meet in the building across from the temple. Were in a middle class to rich part so its way different from chickahsa and blanchard haha. I forgot my other planner that has our address on it so i will send a letter today with it on it. So be watching for it. Yeah i can't believe i'll be calling again it seams like it was just yesterday that i did and this will be the last one too! Man i was so close to winning the ncaa touney, i thought that utah state would loose but i had to choose them! But UCONN ALL THE WAY! I didn't know that you gave out a trophey, you'll have to send me a picture of it to me. Oh so guess what i see all over the place now? Dodge Journeys they are everywhere. Oh an our phone number is (405) 924-7729 so yeah if brian can come that would be awesome. I'll be watching for a call We live basically The north west part of the city basically 90th street or something i know its northwest expressway. Congrats about the new computer! Just in time for me to use it when i get home! YAH! Lets see I'll send some pictures next week with the e-mail i forgot my camera too i'm behind today. Oh the only bad side of being up here is we have no washer or dryer and the apartment is small and pretty crapy! So i had to pay for laundry and stuff, but we found a really cheep place to buy groceries so it kind of works out in the end. Well we have to go i only have so long on the computer anymore and its shorter then the last one so i'll talk to you guys later! Have a good week... Love Y'all GO UCONN! ELDER DOWNS
