Hey fam,  I hope you all enjoy the pictures I'm sending. Haha I sure enjoyed them ;) The food one is a typical lunch I have here at the apartment- it’s good ha.

Pretty cool about rsl and finlday and morales- haha. That’s always exciting.

So I just sent out an actual hand written letter to ya'll this past Saturday so there is some cool and interesting stuff in there, I'll let you wait to read it haha :)

I finally finished reading Jesus the Christ!!!! Well I did a couple weeks ago but I forgot to mention it, I really enjoyed it and I plan on reading it again before I come home!

Umm I was wonderinig if I could get some addresses to write some peeps: Lani, Jordan Cooper, Zack Cowan, Zach Dean, Kale Wright. That'd be cool. Also I tried to send a Christmas card to Dustin and Mishelle Patten or whatever their last name is, from my old class, but I got that letter because the address was wrong. But it’s ok!!

To answer your question about where I go for internet access, my apartments have a big lounge type thing, with a gym, pool, lobby, and a dvd theatre place, and 2 computers. It’s really nice.

The other day we went to have a lesson with a gator family. We got there and the dad is outside drinking and smoking...a ton too... but he was really nice to us and told us to go in and talk to his wife and teach her. So we are teaching her and every so often he walks in and is like, Elders out of respect since I’m drunk I am going to stay outside haha we were like ok. Then the end of the lesson comes and he walks in stumbling all over the place and just smells nasty. hahahaha. We asked the wife who should say the prayer and she picked me, then the dad is like whoa whoa whoa, last time the elders were here I had to say the prayer, this time you are saying it haha. So we were like sweet!! So she starts saying it and it’s really powerful and she starts crying. She was asking that the dad could stop drinking and smoking, and she kept saying thanks that the missionaries keep going over and teaching their family, it was really powerful. We are going over tomorrow. So we shall see.

Another miracle, I was on an exchange with Zone leader Polkowske, we get along real good, and we were tracting and we got to this little condo/apartment complex and it reeks with pee! Stronger than an outhouse and bathroom combined!!! It was terrible. haha, we were getting ready to leave and I remembered from our last zone conference that even if there is something awkward or what not going on, we shouldn’t let it distract us. So I'm like we gotta knock it bro! So we go back and nothing...until the last door! This sweet lady lets us in and we have a good lesson on the BOM and then we just went back last night! It is super duper great. Hopefully she can get dunked within the next month or so, but if not everyone has their own time!

So somehow I got in debt 25 letters to write to fam and friends....yikes haha but I've made a schedule and it is helping haha, Justin always is the priority haahaahaha. so I just wrote him, the grandparents, and Carol Fessler. And also you. I hope to finish it by the end of the month!!! haha.

Not this Thursday, but the next is tranfers already. Fitz finally gets to go home ha.
