Nov. 2, 2009

Hey, as for packages anythings great, in this area I don't really need food because the members feed us really really well. We had 2 dinners yesterday and a breakfast and lunch appointment for today. So I'm doing great in that regard, I would love a Christmas card and some more stamps and return address thingies. Vanessa and Maurice didn't end up being baptized this weekend. Maurice felt that he needed some more time to work on his life and we were very pleased that he was that honest with himself and us, we're also very pleased that he's taking baptism seriously as a covenant and not just something to do. Then Vanessa had a family emergency and she couldn't make it to her interview so she didn't get baptized either. We had a lot of dates drop in the zone this week. We went from 11 to 2. Most of those dates will be picked back up this week though.

We have about 18 missionaries in the zone and the Hartford elders didn't make it down because that's a really long distance to travel. We did a corn maze and then played some games at the church. Nothing big but it was fun. Transfers are tomorrow Elder Furrows is going home to Rexburg, and Elder Osmond is going to be my new companion. He is related to the famous Osmonds he is Jay Osmond's son. So it will be an interesting transfer for sure.
Its very pretty here, and it rains like I've never seen before, probably nothing like Mitch's tropical storms but it just pours rain here. The leaves are beautiful and they change in stages so some trees you can get green red and yellow at the same time on the same tree. Its pretty cool, I've got a few pictures.

I'm sorry that I have so little time to e-mail you but we've got Elder Arnold from the Sevent coming this week to tour our mission. So they're giving the zone leaders some extra stuff to do to get ready and it takes time on the computers, but I love you all very much and hope that y'all have a great week!!
