Hey Everyone, how's it goin? My transfer is already over! it's crazy! Tomorrow i'm gettin a new companion, Elder Fairbanks, who appearantly is awesome! so i'm excited. I'm staying in the Washington Terrace. Now i just gotta stay another transfer after that to have a good Xmas. Because this transfer ends Dec 21st.

So good stories this week. We were eatin dinner with this one family. One of the kids asked me how long i've been out and i said 3 1/2 years. i said i signed up for 2 missions. the father asked the kids what his fav song was and all 3 of them started singing a song to the tune of Fara Zchoka. it quoted 2nd Nephi 9:34 which says "wo unto the liar who shall be thrust to Hell" it was hilarious. i got it on video. Best dinner ever. I finally had jello... about time.

We went down to the Ghetto part of our area to teach a guy for the first time. There was a Ginormous evil dog going crazy as we rode to the fence. the dog was chained to the house by the door. so we put our bikes in the yard out of reach of the dog and as we walked up to it it layed down and was happy. then it decided it wanted to play and started jumping on me and taking playful bites. only problem is it was as heavy as me and it's playful bites hurt. The thing is just lucky it didn't tear my suit. When we got to the door, the guy said we were the first ppl ever to get to the door without him in the yard. feels pretty sweet.

My last story is from sunday. we were supposed to give a talks in the 13th ward at 11:00. We realized at 10:50 we were at the wrong building and had to book it to the right one on our bikes. as we walked into sacrament meeting one of the counselors announced we were here and asked us to join them on the stage. we made an entrance. Then during my talk, i gave my goals joke i gave at my farewell talk. Which completly disses the U of Utah. At the end of sacrament the bishop went to the podeum and said it was his job to correct false docterine. and he said i had some in my talk. I got terrified. i was trying to think what i said that was contrary to our beliefs. but he was only talking about the joke. big relief. and i talked to a guy who has family in Waller. that was cool.

I sent my memory card to my mom last tuesday so there should be some new pics soon... a lotta new pics. That's about it for the email. we're teaching a lotta ppl. working really hard. and having a blast. I love bein a missonary, but i miss yall.

[mother's note - the memory card is corrupted and I am trying to see if I can recover anything.  I am sick with the thought the pictures are lost since those will include his first baptism, etc.  Stay tuned for more]
