Hey, I do get to e-mail today :). The people that we're shooting for getting baptismal dates set with are Tommy, we don't know his last name, Lisa and Jeramey, and Linda. They're all people who it seems that the Lord has led to us or us to them and He's prepared them well. Now it's just a matter of us staying on the ball to make sure everything falls into place perfectly. If we do everything we can then the Lord will do the rest.

MTSU is a huge recording school, and actually an aviation school. We have a young single adult in our ward who came here from California to major in music recording. Then we also have several people who are majoring in things like Air Traffic Control, or any kind of job you'd have at an airport. They have their own airport here for non-commercial planes. So there's always little planes flying over everywhere you go, and one of the biggest buildings around is the Air Traffic Control tower. Seems like a great school, but its also a big drug and alcohol school.

Nothing too big has happened here since Friday. We did have a pretty epic bike crash. Elder Garrison was leading the way home on Saturday night and didn't have the right angle going up the curb and so his bike got caught on the curb as bikes tend to do. So he ate it pretty hard, and I like following close behind him at night because he doesn't have a rear reflector or a light, and I have both. So I had to slam on my brakes pretty hard to avoid running over him, so my bike stopped and I kept going. I didn't get hurt bad at all, I've got a scraped up and bruised knee but that's about it, whereas Elder Garrison looks like he got in a bar fight. His knuckles on his right hand are starting to scab over, he had some road rash on his arm, and both of his palms got tore up pretty good. So when we got home my first aid kit came in handy, but he was a wuss and didn't want to clean out any of his wounds with the alcohol pads, so he took a shower and didn't use any soap because it stung the cuts. So I'm hoping he doesn't get an infection, but from what I've seen through the bandages it doesn't really look that great.

Well that's about it for us from here. A pole-cat is actually a skunk. Because its like a cat with the white stripe (pole) down its back. My memory card is also starting to get a little bit full so I may be sending that home in the next few weeks.

Love you all!!
Elder Carpenter
