Not so sure what they are doing in this picture.

Hey!

This week was good and we were able to see all our investigators but 1 and that's a great thing. We have also been able to set dates with all of them but 1 so that's a way good thing. 

Ya transfers always suck so we are both hoping we stay together. 

Oh no I'm fine with clothes and things it was because we kept the windows open and it felt good enough plus it was nice its all good

Your on fall break? man i don't even have to worry about that. its crazy to think all you have to worry about is the people you are teaching and that's it. nothing else no worldly things or anything just gospel things which has been a big change for me since day one but its getting much better. 

man sounds like they did good this week beating up 50 to 0 man sounds like they have a good team. have they lost yet? 

Dad sent me a letter and he told me almost the same things you said.

Oh ya i have some things i need to send to you guys, its cool 

sounds like you were the right person for the job when it comes to trials, I know at least one you had to overcome well two but sounds like you did a good job and such so that's always a good thing to have over with. 

well hope you have a great week and that you all are doing good and staying busy love you guys
