Yo Family,
ONE YEAR DOWN and i dont believe it!!!!! tomorrow will be the big year mark and i think im gonna burn a shirt or something to have a little celebration, that sweat stained smell should give the fire a good scent of course....! no it has been a great year and i have learned so much!!
me and my comp are doing good here and working to find the people here in the area. we're knocking a lot of doors this transfer.
it is like fall weather here for me but not to cold. the thermals are doing me good and i dont need any thing else for warmth, but thanks mom. the cold only last for three months so i'm set.
that's awesome that shelby coats is going to a mandarin chinese speaking mish!! that's gonna be an adventure for him. tell him that i said hi and good luck if you guys make it to the farewell.
i got the package and oh the potatoes are just fantastic!!! you should have seen my companion when i was making them. they dont have any instant food here so he was amazed when he tasted them and saw that they were just like normal potatoes. i have already given a sister in the ward a packet of taco seasoning for her to make us for lunch this next week. she wanted to give us something different so she is gonna make tacos.
so this week we were walking down the street and an older lady starts yelling to us "are you guys Mormons??" i told my comp that i could smell a baptism and we went up to talk to her. she was a little different and has about 16 cats living with her. we left a little message and she invited us back to teach her. its gonna be interesting and we're gonna help her the best we can. everything is going great and before we know it, i will be callling you guys for christmas.
i love you guys!!!!!!
have a great week and always be happy!!!!
