Week 5

Hey Mom! And everyone else that reads these!

Is week might be a kinda small letter cause I don't have a lot of time.... We have a zone play day thing! So this week has been ok...

I'll be honest it's really hard and I get home sick a lot but I do love the people we teach and it's always fun to go to lessons! The people are super nice! We got 3 more baptismal dates this week! That's crazy considering the last transfer this are was whitewashed and we only had 2 dates up until now! I hope that we don't have to push the dates back... They are or are going to be set for October 12th, but I know the people were working with might have some things we need to work with to help them be ready for baptism... Dan and Stacy are still together after an elder told them they would get back together if Dan read the Book of Mormon and prayed, Ty and his stepson Stephen are both progressing pretty well, T is hilarious and he's the one with the possum named Damion. Story!! The other day Ty showed us this hot sauce that is 6 million scovials! A ghost pepper is 1 million..... And anyway I had some and it was like burn all the way down your throat!

But my companion doesn't like hot stuff so he said if Ty read the Book of Mormon he would try some, so we went back a few days later and Ty had read some so my companion tried it, and he didn't show he was in pain until we got in the car and then he showed his pain haha, it was hot! And the best part was then on the way home the hotness subsided so he wasn't thinking much of it and then he had an itch in his eye..... You see where this is going? So he itches his eye with the finger he used to taste the hot sauce! And his eye lit on fire! I told him milk was best for hot foods and so we decided to pour milk in his eye.... We put a little in the milk lid and held it on his eye hahaha, I felt bad that he was dyin but it was also kinda funny.....

Hey mom you should get on Amazon and order a car sticker that says "salt life" apparently it's like saying I love Florida or I'm a Floridian, so I thought it would be cool if you put one on the car on the back windshield.... And anyone else that wants to! It would be really cool of you did! Cause the stickers look way cool and nobody in Utah would know what they are or even have one!

Mom thanks a ton for the package!! It had everything I could've wanted in it! I love the cinnamon rolls sooo much and the home made Oreo cookies are the best ever! I've trying to be careful with what I eat a little bit cause I don't want to get fat....haha, so the hard part for me is not eating the whole freaking bag of cinnamon rolls and cookies, I miss being at home when we would make those and I could just eat the whole pan of cookies, and hen Daniel and I would eat cinnamon rolls for lunch for days! The quotes were awesome I like them a lot  I put one on our family picture that sits right by my bed all day!

Thanks for all the letters and emails you all send I really try and wrote something back to all of them but I don't have a ton of time so Im really sorry if I don't write back.... Thanks grandma and grandpa for the letter that history of our ancestors who have served missions is really cool, there's lots of us that have served in Florida! And mom that card was freaking hilarious;) I got and invitation to Bethany's wedding this week that was awesome! I'm so happy for her!

So I met this elder named elder hall his name is Avery hall, his my zone leader and I told him I was from kaysville  Utah and he said he had an aunt in kaysville he said Julie white and I was like Juleen White? And he said ya and her husband Scott..... He's bishop whites nephew!!

Thanks for all your love and support back home it's really what helps me keep going, I miss you all a ton and think of you all day everyday!! I can't wait to see you in 1 year 11 months! I hit my month mark Saturday!  I love you all a ton thanks again for everything!
