Hey Everybody!
So i'm sure most of you know that i'm leaving so yeah that no big suprise. I'm going back down to Ardmore, Oklahoma. I will be going with a missionary on his 2nd transfer. I thought that i was done with getting new missionarys but i guess i was wrong. I still am in shock about going back down there, i had no idea that would be where i was going. From what i hear about him it should be an interesting transfer out there by ourselves. This last week was an interesting one. We worked really hard and we only had about 10 miles left for the whole week then on wednesday i was looking at my bike for some reason and i saw that one of my tires was worn out on the side and about ready to pretty much bust up so we had to use those 10 miles to go the store and get new tires for my bike. The guy was really nice and gave me 10% off but sadly i still had to pay 40 bucks for them. So thats a big disappointment but i had to do it, i think i've spent more on my bike this last transfer then i have my whole mission which is crazy. We bike alot this last week probably close to a 100 miles around town and back and forth. Then we found out that we were leaving on saturday but didn't know where we were heading off too. I'm excited and nervous about going down there. If they didn't like me then they for sure wont now. I don't remember the address but its the same one that i had before they live in the same house. I think that this will be my last area i don't see me getting moved really fast so this will probably be it. The pictures were awesome and i loved them. I have a few from yesterday. We ended up going down to Bricktown which is downtown okc and go bowling there, it was really fun but i didn't do to good and by the time we found it we could only bowl one game. So that was disappointing. It was really fun though. Well thats about it for this week i'll let y'all know how it goes next week when i get down to ardmore. Love you guys!
