Its all going good. I hit my 4 Month mark and I feel like I'm getting the hang of things. Me and my companion are getting along well. This new area seems to be a little bit slower the gated communities make it a lot harder with track ting. I am hoping the work will pick up soon. We have a lot of part member families we are working with.
We have been doing a lot of service at a senior center close to our apartment. There is one old lady that is really grouchy. We were worried it was us. Then we saw her get angry at one of the workers. My companion and I looked at each other and both started laughing and said well its not just us. It feels good to do service for these guys they are so lonely.
I have been studying alot lately and I have a different companion. I am trying to learn from both of them what kind of missionary I want to be. One of them was really up tight and really strict. The other is a hard worker and gets a lot done but not so uptight. I think I want to be a combination of the two. I know how important it is to follow rules but I am not an uptight kinda guy. Just because I am not uptight does not mean I don't work hard or don't follow the rules. I have been thinking about this a lot lately and think you would call me a laid back hard working kind of missionary.
How is everyone. I am sending some pictures on a SD card in the mail of the baptism in my last area. And some funny pics of me and my companions messing around.
Love all you guys. I cant believe I miss the weather in Utah.. You guys are talking about all the rain its the same everyday. Hot.
Same old missionary stuff going on.
Stay Classy
