How are you guys doing today? I'm doing really good. Its been a really good week. Not much has been going on. We were working our buts off to get some people to come to church but sadly. They both did not make it. One of them i understand because she is going in for surgery tomorrow, and she wanted to spend time with her family before that happened. She said that if she can she will definetly be at church this next week. She is definetely going to get baptized sometime soon. She wants to start paying tithing, she gave up all the coffee and stuff as soon as she read that in the pamphlet. She is awesome! I think she will be baptized towards the end of the transfer for sure and then we have another one that will be getting baptized hopefully before i head off. Today we are not doing anything, we have been grounded by president. Sadly no one signed up on the calender to feed us so its just going to be us. The ward did a carnival last wendesday, it was kind of dumb and boring not as good as the one in chickasha or back home. We ended up leaving about half hour into it. I got all the stuff for halloween, thanks for the candy and the pictures. Oh i am sending home a box tomorrow or the next day with some stuff that i don't need. Also with my suit pants that have the holes in the back. I was wondering if you could fix those for me and send them back soon. I want to be able to wear that suit in case i have to when we go out and about and not my good one. The ward is doing ok, Elder tuttle and i are doing good. I'm just trying to be more patient and just not worry about that sort of stuff anymore. I haven't heard anything about when i fly home or anything like that. There will be 12 of us flying home. A pretty big group. The weather has been pretty nice around 60 almost everyday. When i get home i think pork steak sounds good or something like that. This week should be really good. We are working hard and i think its really paying off. Actually everybody in my disricit is starting to so i guess my chastising works at district meeting. Well thats about it for today not much going on we are just realaxing today and taking a break. I'll talk to you more next week. Love y'all
