Things here are going good. I'm starting to get a little bit more used to the area and the members and all. This is probably the best ward that I have been in so far. I think yesterday we had 136 people in our sacrament meeting which is great. But, I still have a lot more to get used and a short time to do it. I only have 4 more week lefts in this transfer. The good thing is I know for sure that I'm going to stay here and that I will get a new comp next transfer. My comp's name is Elder Woolley and as you can see by the name, he is also an American. He is from Salt Lake City. This is his last transfer, so now he only has a month left. So, he is a little trunky, but he is still working really hard so that's not much of a problem. He said that his parents are going to come and pick him up, so I should get to meet them as well. But he is really a cool kid. He reminds me of cousin Josh (ha ha).
But I'm hoping this week that we should have a couple of baptisms here. We had a lot of people that went to church which was nice, so that's gonna help us out a lot. It was nice to get to talk to you guys for a little while on Tuesday even though it was only for a couple of minutes. Also on Tuesday, we had a leadership training meeting. It was nice and I saw some old friends and learned a lot of good stuff. I have a lot of things that I need to get better at (ha ha). On Tuesday night it was my comps birthday, so we threw a surprise party for him. The other elders who live with us set it all up. We had pizza, cake, chips, and soda - it was awesome!! It was funny because we went the whole day without saying anything to him. We didn't say happy birthday or anything to him, so I'm sure he was a little dissapointed. But then we got home that night and sang happy birthday to him and everything and it was really cool.
If you want to send a package to me that's fine - you can send whatever you want. But, I had an idea. Instead of sending me a package you can send me some money instead, because there are some things here that I will only get to eat while I'm here, and there are some things that I want to buy here so that I can bring them home with me. I want to bring home some hammocks and some stuff that they only have here. I'm gonna bring home some food for you guys to try like cuscuz which is delicious and some other stuff. It's pretty much for sure that I'm going to finish my mission here, so I'm already gonna start buying things to bring home and souvenirs and stuff like that. So, let me know what you think about that.
But, that's about it for me. I'll let you know how things go this week with baptisms and all. It was actually a good thing that I didn't watch the funeral because the same time that the funeral was going on, we did a street contact with a young lady and invited her to go to church with us. AND to our surprise, she actually went and after the meetings we marked her baptism for next month!! Love you so much and until next week:)
