Its been quite the week. Its been super hot and the last 2 days its been in the 80's! I was so excited i sat outside for a long time yesterday just taking it all in. Its finally a break from the 60+ days of 100 degree heat. Today its about 84 so not to bad. I'm excited about the coolness and ready for the fall to come. The roof looks really good. Wish i could have been there to help out, i would have taken that over tracting all day in the heat. We also had zone conference this last week. It was a blast. Porbably one of the funniest i have been too i would say. There was alot of the people i like there. It was a long drive and we had to leave at 6:30 in the morning to get there in time but it was worth it. It gave me a break and a recharge. I'm doing good, i'm ready for transfers next week. President called me yesterday morning to see what i thought about transfers and what i thought i should do and my district down here... which never happens. I told him what i thought and that i think i need to stay at least one more down here and he said well i was thinking about taking you both out of there, i need you somewhere else, i'm like well ok but one of the investigators down here i taught a year ago and shes seems to think that i have been sent back down here to baptize her pretty much. So i have no idea i don't really care anymore i'll go were ever president wants me too. My companion is doing better. Hes more motivated, i was about to snap one day and called some other missionarys to see what to do and then after that it was an instant change. He still drives me insane but hes doing better. I feel like i have a 9 year kid with me. I have to tell him to do everything, from shower, to we have to go and give him warnings every 5 min or we will be 1/2 hour late. To telling him he has to change his clothes and wash them. I think hes only washed once since i've been down here. Clean up after him because he won't for himself. Really i feel like i have a little kid with me 24/7 and i'm pretty sure i'm not ready for that yet. I have had a test of patience this transfer and i've done really well, held my toungue, but my patience is running thin after 5 weeks. I really hope i get some really fun companions my last 2 transfers to make it enjoyable and fun. Yesterday we didn't do much just went and looked at some stores to get out of the apartment, i found some that i didn't think they had here, so it was pretty fun. Transfers are next wednesday and the next transfers after that are on oct 26th. and then after that i will be home. Save my computer just in case i left something on there i might want, i don't remember if there is but let me check in a few months. Have you been looking around for a job for me when i get home? I would like to start working soon after i get home. I found some shirts i wouldn't mind gettin, so i might grab them so i have some stuff that will fit when i get home, also a couple cool OU hats. I heard that Utah State almost won auburn that all the auburn's fans were leaving and they came back at the last minute. Thats crazy. Well i'm off to tract and see people. Talk to you guys next week.
Love all y'all
