Hey how are you guys doing? So the big news we did move. We moved out on friday to an apartment just a building down. We are still on the bottom floor, which is really nice i don't like being on the top floor at all you have to be to careful so this was a good move. Everything is 100 times better and it doesn't smell as bad anymore. So that is what we were doing most of this last week was getting ready for that. We took all day thursday to pack and to get cleaned up. Let me say that i really don't like missionarys. They don't clean up after themselves at all when we were cleaning out the kitchen we found tons of pans that had never gotten washed and mounds and mounds of Tupperware. The worst i think was when we were cleaning out behind the fridge. We found bread and pieces of pizza that have been there for who knows how long. It could have been 12 years they lived there for that long. Then on friday we moved it all in about an hour and then i went on exchanges with the zone leaders to Yukon. It was a blast. We got some corn on the cob from a member and some watermelon so we cooked it up and ate it. I like Yukon alot its a medium size town but really fun and lots of people willing to talk to us. Then we came back and put the rest of our apartment back together. Earlier this week we taught a few people which was really cool. One of them was from china. I guess she is either living with a member or is married to him but he asked us to come over and teach her so we did. It was interesting teaching someone who didn't know anything about Christ or about the Bible, except for what she read on the computer. I think that was one of the hardest lessons i have ever taught and she didn't speak or understand english very well so that made it harder. They are going back this next week while i am at the meeting so hopefully that will go well. That is really cool about mason! I wish i could be there for his farewell but i will when he gets home. Yeah be sure to get his address and his mission home address so i can write to him. Oh i almost forgot my new address is 8110 NW Britton Road Apartment #3 Oklahoma City, OK 73132. I'm super excited for this next week. Its kind of a big recharge on my batteries when i go to these meetings. So it will be nice to relax and learn and then come home and apply them. I got busy this last week but i will try and send my stuff this weekend when i get back. I'll get everything together and send it off. Well i'll talk to you guys next week were late today again. Well Love you guys talk to you later!
