Going...going...

Hey Fam!
we're at the end of another transfer that has gone by really fast and i'm continuing to learn more and more each day as i walk the streets and teach all those that accept our wonderful message.
we have a baptism set this saturday that should go really well and the lady getting baptized is really excited. she is the mom of a recent convert and has been going to church for a long time now. she has really gained a testimony of the truthfulness of the gospel and i know that it will have a huge impact on her life. one of her sons was shot and killed a few years ago because of drugs and she was really shaken up about it for a long time. we taught her about the plan of salvation and how her desire of having her son learning about the gospel and living a straight life will be fullfilled in the spirit world. she was so happy to know that her son would be able to learn even though he is no longer on this earth. it was a really great experience.
if you take any pictures of kolby at the bluebird, you got to send them to me. it has been such a long time since i've seen that ol kid. mike will be coming home next week and im sure that his family is way excited to see him again. let me know how their homecoming talks go. if possible record them and send it to me....
im so happy for kris and hope that things continue to go well for her.
thats cool that jud and ty did the arena cross again this year. did jud try any crazy stunt at the finish line this year?? ty is really getting good racing! i know that he has really enjoyed his summer. its crazy to think that he is heading into his last year of school now.
arien is gonna be busy busy again teaching and catching the sicknesses of all the little kids that are in her class. (jk) she is gonna be a great teacher and each year she will learn and grow alot.
hows pops doing? did he shave his head this summer or is he still holding strong with the skullet.
mom good luck with the talk this sunday and you can use any experience that ive had so far including the getting robbed my 3rd week in the field and knowing no portuguese and trying to teach the guy robbing us about the restored gospel because it wasn't his fault of understanding nothing that was going on until he showed me his gun. i know that it will go well and it will be cool to hear about the other elders serving from the linrose ward.
let loyal know that i am thinking of him and grandma. he has sure been a huge example to me and i sure enjoy listening to all of his great stories.
i love you guys!! Have an awesome week!!!
