repent, and write your brother! at least occasionally.


Well sounds like everything is still exciting at home. Hope this hurricane stuff doesnt get too serious. Thats awesome that Ashley got baptized, she was going to church for a long time. Im glad her parents are going along with it. Thats what we have been doing is been taing to a lot of parents to get there perision to baptize there children. But everything goes well. The people are worried at the first impression of us then learn to trust us and everything goes fine after that. The only thing i dont like when there is a teenage girl in the family that trusts us a lil too much…. We had a problem with one the past week that wanted to be my wife already. Her mom told her to give me a promise ring and everything. Then took a picture of me with her cell phone without me knowing. So i dont think we are going back there anytime soon. Well we do have changes this week, but i still dont think im leaving which im kinda glad for right now because there are some families that are progressing really well that i want to see a little longer. Dont worry im not getting to attached to where i wont want to leave me area. I have accepted the fact im going to be leaving one day better to accept it earlier. Thats good to hear that krisiti is playing well. But i think she should be treated like a tenth grader…its tradition everybody needs to feel that. And that the fruit pizza legend is still going. About workouts, ya i get a chance to. I play soccer at mutual every week now which is realy good for me. But i think we are going to play basketball this week. And i have thought about playing college ball but i really dont know where i would want to play. President has told me to go out to like snow college and do a trial triout, and if they dont want me ask where i should go. So i might do somethin along those lines or try for a place closer to home. And i got to watch a lil of the final game of basketball of the us and spain. I only saw the third quarter but the us plays amazing and surprisingly spain was keeping up. I was just glad to see we actually had some good players go this year. As for p-days we dont do very much. We had planned today to go out to kinda a lagoon place like the last one but our driver fell through and we will go another week. But we go to downtown santa cruz where a lot of other missinaries go every week. So i get to see a lot of my friends. i have been thinking as well of ¨creative ways of teaching¨ and i have a feeling i am going to the boarder to learn portugeues, and as well in my lessons i use a lot of examples and expierences, i think its easier to understand. Man how is brooke going to have a baby? Thats still crazy to me. April isnt too bad i will be coming home in about 8 months after that. Not too bad. But i am good. I really have lost all of my nervousness that i felt the first two months and i have got use to working like this every day. Especially in our area we have like 5 different cities that we take turns on every day. So every day is different which makes it a lil easier i think. The teenagers only bother us by whistleing or shouting something, like take me to the US. Or some are more direct and ask how are you right to our faces. But im getting more and more famous in my area. Its funny me and my companinon hear someone new everyday shout my name. No clue how they know it. But i have gotten use to it so it isnt too bad. The kids here are awesome, as dad said a lot earlier. I get along with the kids more than anyone and they like me back as well. They always play with me and cry when my companion wants to. So i realy enjoy doing that kind of stuff as well. As for the weather it is getting pretty hot. The humidity is kicking in, i hear it gets to about 103 degrees. But a lot of americans dont think thats a lot but its like 103 in georgia for a week straight, so its way worse. I actually have been a lil sick the past week with a cold i guess it was. But my companion got it first from a teenager in our branch and of course i would have to get it because we are together every day. Umm nothing realy else is happening only getting excited for my birthday. But the year is flying by i dont know how its already september… its almost been a year since i got my call. And that feels like yesturday. Anyway i know this is long because nobody else wrote me haha. Its alright but hope everything goes well for yall this week and im being safe and smart of course. I love you guys and hope you enjoy your cold weather!No virus found in this incoming message.Checked by AVG - http://www.avg.com Version: 8.0.138 / Virus Database: 270.6.9/1634 - Release Date: 8/25/2008 8:48 PM
