Time and Emails are Getting Shorter

Well this email might not be too long. So the baptism this week went pretty good. . Anyways the 4th of July was fun. I spent time with the Hardy's while Elder Ware went to Middleton. We popped fireworks and just hung out. We went to Sister Hardy's house and visited with her family and stuff. They had a pool and stuff but unfortunately I couldn't go swimming or anything like that. It was fun though. I like that family a lot. I would like gumbo and Jambalaya and maybe go out to eat somewhere.(in answer to the question of what he wants to eat once he's home) I can't seem to really focus on this email much.  So I called Mark and he didn't really talk much. He was on the phone for maybe 30 seconds. Then I called back later and they never picked up. The only thing I can think of that I need is money. I only got like 80 dollars for this month. I got that Drew Brees Jersey a week ago. Its sweet. I only paid 30 for it and its like a 100 dollar jersey. Its a superbowl one too and its black. I like it. Not much else is new really. Anyways I got to get goin. Yall have a good week and take care.

3 more . . .

So this week has been good. We have a baptism coming up for Lindsay Waters.. Anyways we went to go see Travis this week in Caldwell. Apparently he moved but his baptism is still going on. It will be on July 9th. We went to a Ward Council this week in Sunny Brook and we are just trying to get things going for when new missionaries come in. We are doing the same in Bridgetower and are getting splits going and visiting new families. We got a new WML in that ward and he is doing a good job. It will be good to leave the area doing well and to leave with all those baptisms. So today we went fishing with our investigator Dorian. We didn't catch anything and all I caught was some algae lol. But I enjoyed it. Sorry I don't write as much as Mark. Mark writes a freakin novel jeez. It sounds like he is enjoying his mission though. Anyways I sent some of my stuff home. I'm trying to have not a lot of stuff so I don't have to pack it onto a plane. Anyways sorry if this is short but there really isn't too much to say. Hope yall have a good week and take care.

Less than a Month Now

Hey mom and dad. How are yall doing?  This week has been pretty good. Its actually starting to feel like summer here finally. So the Bells moved there baptism to July 16. Me and Elder Etherton are probably going to baptize the children. Lindsay Waters moved her baptism to July 2nd or something like that. So we are still working on getting all that squared away. So me and Elder Ware gave talks on Sunday in two wards. I think we both did a pretty good job. We talked about fathers and stuff. I mentioned a lot of stuff about dad in my talk. But it went pretty good. I really don't get nervous when I talk in public anymore. Like talking in public is nothing to me now. I might be a little nervous before but I'm not like really nervous when I begin speaking. So today we played football and it was pretty fun. I did pretty well for my ankle being messed up. O yeah I'm gonna need a new American Express Card cause it expires next month. I dunno if I told yall but we get free snow balls here. I know u said you had your first of the season. I've had like 10. I love goin over there and geting them. I think I'm addicted to them. Sorry that my emails keep getting shorter and shorter. I try to make them long but not much new has happened. Well me and Elder Ware got in trouble for having a Pday eve. Basically that is spending the night at another missionaries house before pday lol. Anyways I got to get goin. Yall have a good week and take care.
