I did get Bro Peterson's letter, a while back actually.... I had intentions of writing him, but I got caught up in the work, plus the selfish side of me took over so it was easy to put it off. Writing takes time, and there are other things I could do, and he didn't really say much on his, but I know I need to write him. Funny 'ol Peterson. I have written Jackie back, and haven't heard from the Howells. That's pretty much who I'm writing to. I write to Javi over email, but that doesn't count does it... And that lady didn't write me, the name does sound familiar though. (Anitra Martin, a lady that used to write to all the missionaries but has passed away)
That dream of yours worries me. (I dreamt that Parker was beside me as I was trying to open the door to our home and I was so excited to see him but felt bad that no one told us to pick him up at the airport. THEN I realized that he was home 14 months EARLY!! So when I finally got him away from the family, we sat down and he was about to tell me why he was home and the dream ended!!) It would worry me a lot more if I was missing a limb! I had an interesting dream too, but it was about me killing an evil murderous witch with an ax, she came back to life and I woke up. It makes you wonder at times like these, did Joseph have weird unmeaningful dreams as well as the important ones? Well, I hope that both dreams don't symbolize anything.
The baptism went well, and I got some good pictures! Got a good one of Bryden, I'm going to send it home soon so y'all can see it. She still had her nose ring in, but we are going to talk about it Tue. We now have no progressing investigators, so we have to work on some of the new investigators so that we can help our area. We have a couple that look promising! We ran into mice trouble. I heard from Elder Lane that they used to have mice, but I thought they were gone, until one day I was catching up in my journal. So I was sitting there and out of my peripherals I saw the papers moving. I thought it was because of the air conditioner. I then heard a rustle and looked and saw a flash of brown. I just stared, partially out of unbelief that there were mice in our apartment. I saw him jump out of our trash onto my companion's study table, thank goodness, and then onto the floor and into a hole that I suspected was a mouse hole, but wasn't certain. We got out the mouse trap in the drawer, but a pecan and some peanut butter on it, and fifteen minutes later heard the padded snap of the trap. I took pictures of the mouse, because it was still in the process of eating the nut even though it was dead. I erased the picture because I knew it would've ruined my missionary slide show in the future! Future prospects are going to be watching, if you know what I mean! The funny part about this story happens later as we were sitting at the table in the other room and heard another thump and then scurrying. We went back and looked, and another mouse was trapped in the garbage can that we barely emptied with the dead mouse. This was later in the day, when we were doing our night planning. We were wondering about where we were going to get more mouse traps, I guess mice aren't that smart, just leave open trash cans and they will trap themselves! Don't worry, our apartment is clean and nice, that's why the mouse had to jump in the trash to get something!

A week and a half is transfers again, we'll see if I stay or go. No matter what though, I know it's where I'm supposed to be!
Good to know everything's alright, and that trip you and Dad are going on sounds awesome. Hope y'all don't crash, everyone knows famous stars always crash! :) (The Educators Airlift)
lOvE you guys, and I pray every night for y'all, so be safe!
