Cade is right, I stole his charger when I didn't need it, I will probably send it back, if I can find a way. I do have an Ipod, but not one full of gospel music. I have Jameson's old ipod, and it has good wholesome music on it, it would be nice to have the other one too though! :) I don't know of anything I need right now, probably a new pair of baptismal pants... mine are real tight...:) And while you are at it, a couple pairs of dri-lux G's would be great too! My size has increased to 40 I believe. And thanks for the info on foods, it IS super hard to avoid fried food, but I can take off the skins and it will be fine. I have cut down on consumption and slowly dropped, but nothing significant. I do not believe I will make it back down to where I was at. No problem though.

Everything is going good, we did have a rough week this week, nobody was home and we didn't get as many lessons as we wished, but these days are to be expected. We will continue in our work! I have noticed blessings, and also things I personally need to work on that I've been ignorant about, but I've woken up and am dealing with it! Another two weeks and we will have another baptism! No problems so far, he only has to give up smoking and they'll be good, and he is one determined man. Also, we were talking with them yesterday and they said that his wife's mom said to them that if he gave up smoking and drinking that they would attend our church also! I think she was just showing her lack of support, but I know when he quits that he will hold her up to it! It will be great!

The extreme summer temperatures are coming to an end, halfway through it! Now the football teams are starting to practice down here, many people are excited! It's weird to think that I left right after football season, now it's starting up again. Question, will I be back in time to enter in the church ball league? That is what I'm missing most out here! Every P-day we play basketball and I'm working on my dribbling, although my shots are way off. Tell the guys they better watch out! Also that I grew 5 inches, just to scare them...:) not really though.

I feel I'm at the climax of this area. I know the ward real well, I can get around without directions from my companion, and now I know the main people we need to focus on. Now just creative ways to get known, and get in doors! That will be the fun part.

I finally got the letter! Thank you for the pictures! When I got it someone already opened it, it has been through three pairs of missionaries though, I know nothing has been taken. They did a horrible job taping it back up again so I know it wasn't the post office! :) No worries though.

Love you guys and I'll email y'all next week!
