Hey how are you doing this week?
Its been a fun week lots of fun stuff happened. Thats crazy about mason! I super excited for him sad thing is he leaves and i get home, but oh well. We aren't sure if we are moving or not yet we haven't heard, i guess we will have to do most of the work and find out the details, the guy that was over it just up and left so its interesting but it will all work out in the end. Next week is our 4 day meeting, and surprisingly i don't have to teach anything, which i thought is really weird. I only have to demonstrate one of the lessons in front of everybody which is a piece of cake so thats no worries at all. Thats really cool about ky and jedd's lawn. You guys need to send a picture of it. Did i tell you that one of the elders thats in my district thinks that he framed her house? Funny huh. He doesn't live to far from her which is crazy. I still haven't gotten anything in the mail or anything like that so i don't know if they got lost or what. i will text you my address when i figure out where its going to be. My bike is working good, the sad story about all of it is that yesterday at dinner we were at one of our favorite families and we told them how much it was and that i wasn't happy. It turns out that he is a bike mechanic and would have done it for free! Which is good to know if anything else happens to it but i wish i would have known that a week ago. The fun this this week was that after district meeting we went on exchanges with the other elders in our district and then we ended up going to a 7 or 8 stake youth conference celebration i guess you would call it. They had a big preformance in norman at the OU's basketball arena. That was really cool There was a ton of members there and a ton of missionarys. I got to see alot that i haven't seen in a few months. And the thatchers were there too. That was really cool to see them again, i didn't know if i would or not. I took a little bit of pictures but you really couldn't see much from where we were sitting on my camera. It was fun and it was cool to go back through norman, i haven't been there in about a year. I will send my pants and stuff definetly this week and of course i'm doing good. I'm drinking alot of water so don't worry about that. My service shoes are getting worn out so when i get home i'm going to need to get some new ones but i'm doing good. The 4 day meeting will be a good for both of us to visit with the other eldes. I can't believe this transfer is almost over already. We basically only have 2 full weeks left if you don't count the ltm week. Well i'm off to play some basketball, were late today we ended up teaching somebody this morning and so we are way behind on everything.
Love you guys
