I got your dear elder package with the beef jerky in it. I don´t which one you were refering to in your last email. Thank you. I´ve been investigating the lost suitcase a little more this week, but they tell me it would have been much more likely to be found if I had notified them the same day instead of a month later. Oh well, it doesn´t look like I´ll be getting it back. Speaking of which, could you send me so more socks when you have time because I lost quite a few in that suitcase. Thanks.


Adley is going to Fiji?!! Wow, that´s so cool. That definitely beats Mexico by a long shot. I´m glad Adley is doing so good. He has a very noble, kind heart.


I can´t believe my little Marcy Poo is going to Middle School. He´s growing up so fast. How is Austin doing in high school? Is he still at Seminole?


This week we found a lot of new people to teach. We´re still not recieving a lot of member referrals, but God has been putting a lot of people in our path and we´ve been talking to a lot of people. I really like living and working in this huge housing unit. It seems as though we never run out of people to visit here. What I also like is the type of people we are meeting. They have a lot of interesting life stories and experiences. A few people that we are teaching are getting very close to baptism but still haven´t accepted a specific date yet. This is the last week of the transfer. I hope they leave me here at least one more transfer. The only thing I didn´t like about this week was that yesterday we got stuck teaching a very devout Jehovah´s Witness. I know there´s a lot of good Jehovah´s Witnesses but, honestly, that religion does not make any sense to me. I don´t see the attraction at all. He wouldn´t even let us end the lesson with a prayer because he didn´t think God would listen to us unless we prayed to him as Jehovah.


I´ll share more details in the next email.
