Did you know that trees stay green here? When the time comes they just fall off, and new green ones come in. If it wasn't for the cold mornings, I wouldn't know what season it is! Thanks for the compliments, I should've got more pictures of it, but I'm finding out that my picture creativity is dumbing up a bit. (Referring to the ghillie suit adventure!) I need to get back at it!
 The area continues to improve, and our BCD is getting ever closer. Our bishop wants us to move it to another day, we are going to talk to our investigator and see what she wants. Maybe we won't, who knows? It is on the 13th, our lucky number! It feels weird being in charge of the area. I am finding that the old routine is starting to fade, and we will have to find another one real soon! I mean that by people we are visiting. Things are starting to slow down a little bit, but we are still doing ok. I have a cool story about our investigator. She is going through big changes in her life. She doesn't have any problems with the big commandments, except looking modest, as in her piercings. She's regretting the day she'll have to take them off, especially her nose jewel, or whatever you call it. But this past week, after we taught a lesson, we were talking to her about it. We were pressuring her to take out her tongue bar, and she did for the lesson. When she picked it up after the lesson, I jokingly asked her if I could see it, to pretend to throw it, and she handed it to me. When I made the motion, I asked her if I could. She said she didn't care.....I was caught off guard. She gave up the ring, she didn't have any more either. So, we left, showed only a few people the bar, not too many, because it was a little weird that I kept it, and went to Elton's to get rid of it. We taped it to a rock, and slingshot it into the woods! It felt great, my companion thought it was dumb that I was doing it, but I know how big it was for her!
 A few more months and I'll be able to skype y'all! I will most likely be in another area, but we'll see.
 
 Thanks again Fam! Love y'all and talk to ya next week! I will remember to send a card to Lexi....
