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.

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.

Sorry dad for my emails getting shorter and shorter. I try to make them long but I'm running out of things to say. I don't have as many crazy experiences as Mark does lol. That would be a fun mission though. So today we played football and I kinda hurt my ankle.  It's not as bad as what it was. This week has been pretty good though. We started teaching a guy named Dorian. He is in Linder ward and is dating a member. The girl that he is dating, her mom called you when I messed up my foot. It's the Crane family. They are really cool. We are almost done with the lessons for Lindsay Waters. Her baptism is June 26. Then the Bells are gonna be baptized maybe June 24. We hung out with the Bells and had dinner with them yesterday. It was pretty fun. To be honest I played NCAA football with some of the kids. It was pretty fun and good to play with them. Marie is also having her sealing. That will be the first sealing I will go to. So that should be pretty neat. To answer your question I know Elder Corbit. He is a huge gunner. He is pretty good at basketball though. Its pretty crazy to think the house is that quiet. It will be weird when I get home not having Mark and them around the house. Our condo looks pretty nice. I think I will really like it. I'm looking forward to getting to use the jet ski and going water skiing. I have already started packing stuff for going home in boxes to send. I would love to be able to spend time with the Barnes if they are able to come pick me up. (He has a 4 hour layover in Salt Lake).  Elder Etherton would probably come too. I have became really good friends with him. I replaced him when I came to this area and he has served around this area some. He is pretty cool and from Dallas, Texas. I've met a lot of cool missionaries on my mission and a lot of good new friends. Its good to hear that everyone in the family is doing well and ok. Anyways im gonna get going. Yall have a great week.
