Well hello. How are ya'll doing there in Utah? I hope all good. I’m just tired and hot. It’s starting to get hot again here. It just seemed to be cooling down. But it’s not. Oh well. What can I do? I hope your week has been going good. Mine has been doing well. We have a good investigator named Leonardo. Oh and his mom Maria. They are super cool. We actually gave his mom our last copy of the Book of Mormon. We actually have been having problems getting them to the mission. I don’t know why. We gave her a part to read about infant baptism. Because she is super Catholic and she also has had that doubt before. Well we went back and she wanted to give us the book back and said she is always going to be Catholic. So we asked her if she read. And she said yes and she believed what she read and that it gave her an answer. So we asked if we could explain a little more. And she said yes. So we sat on her patio and explained the Book of Mormon better and all that. At the end of the lesson she was totally interested. And we gave her another part to read and she said she would give it another try. She is so going to be baptized. The family is like a typical member family. They are so nice and open to us. It’s great. The only problem is I think most of the kids are the smoking partying type of people. But they can overcome it. And I’m so excited for General Conference next week. Do you think it’s going to be on the second coming or the end of the world? Because everyone thinks it’s going to happen at the end of the year. People ask me all the time about it. But it’s not because no man can know when or where it’s going to happen only god can know. So everyone is wrong. But who knows. Oh and can you send me more stamps because I don’t have any. And I got the Halloween card too. Yeah. Super cute dog. Oh and did Halen leave already. If he did Yeah. And was he nervous and stuff. It’s been going by super fast. It’s nice. I’m almost at a year. When I think back it seems like I got off the plane a couple of weeks ago. I guess they were right. Wow I always think of a ton to write beforehand but I can’t think of anything. Hmmmm...... I got nothing. I’m gonna start writing my ideas down so I have more to write to you. Sorry if I’m not telling too much.... bye I will have more to say next week... oh and I’m in ether 5 in the book of Mormon....
