Hahaha!!!!  Hey everyone!!!!!

CHI!!!!!!!!! Already 5 months on mission!!!!!  Just one more month and I'll be a quarter of the way there!!!!!!

Well everyone, it has been a pretty interesting week to say the least haha!!!  So this week, we have been pretty busy running around and trying to find things to do.  We have been traveling to Nkwantanan for a while and we have had some success up there.  A lot of cool investigators and man, I love some of the kids that some of our investigators have haha!!!!  So, now we are planning on going to Sirco!!!  From what I hear, you can get literally anything there!!!!  From a pen and pencil to a car or a few plane tickets if you know where to look haha!!!!!  So, hopefully, I'll be able to find a camera there for a good bargaining price.  So yeah, that's amazing!!!!!

So we have a few baptisms coming up soon, hopefully those will go through.  Unfortunately, people are having a problem being serious here haha!!!!  So, now me and the guys in the apartment are now going to play basketball with some locals we met on Saturday.  We plan to go play on Wednesdays and Saturdays.  That will not only get us in shape, but we will also be able to meet new people, and teach a little bit haha!!!!

Also, these guys (missionaries) are not serious.  They've been playing so many tricks on me, I'm losing my mind !!!  But luckily, I'm still sane haha!!!  Like they have a joy of making it sound like President Snow (mission president) is trying to contact me, so yeah, I freak out a little when they do that haha!!!!

So now I'm just trying to keep strong in my area.  I'll probably be moved this next transfer.  Considering the fact that I've been out here for almost 5 months by the time I get transferred.  Hopefully not, but I really can't wait to know.

Well, it's been pretty crazy here, but holdin' in there haha!!!  And, I might be able to bleach my hair soon, but I don't know if I'll have time so we'll see!!!!!!

Mitch, take it easy, don't do anything too crazy.  Park and Brigg don't break all of my stuff while I'm gone.  Mom, don't steal all my books, and be sure to get me the new ones I told you about.  Everyone else. . .I LOVE YOU ALLLLL and don't do anything too crazy haha!!!!!

Love,
