Hello Family I love so much!!!

Holy Freakin' Cow! I am no longer Howard's companion. Whew. That last week was HARD! But I love him. He was more obedient than Elder Brown and more willing to work than Elder Kerr. I love the kid so much. I'm just glad that companionship has ended. But guess what. Elder Price is my new companion. And he's already hit the spot for my new favorite companion. Seriously. We get along so well. We laugh and joke and teach beautifully. He loves video games and Jesus, so we just talk and talk. Unlike my last three companions, when I was told I was going to be his companion, I talked to people and all I heard was good things. Seriously, I am honored to be his companion. This is his third transfer, but he doesn't act like it.

Howard and I gave three church tours last week. The first was with "Pagan Gary" who isn't against baptism but won't commit to a date. We were going to teach him today but he cancelled until Thursday. What's awesome is that he told some of his friends and now they want to come learn also! Referrals all the way. One is Krista (who looks like Amy Adams). She also wouldn't commit to a date. She said she wanted to come to Stake Coference but she didn't show. And now we can't get a hold of her. The last is Eugene. Who is on date for the 25th. Seriously. He's from Ukraine and is totally awesome. We're going to teach him the Restoration which will hopefully solidify him. We also have a tour with a guy that lives in the alley by our house. Edwin. He's super cool and will be great to take on a tour. Lots of WoW issues but, with God, Elder Price and I can get rid of that. We also have a tour on Wednesday with a lady we met yesterday. She's awesome. She lives next to a less active member and we're going to see if we can get both on a tour.

President Weaver has set a goal of 200 baptisms in the month of October! Or was it 400...oops, I can't remember. Anyways, with the mormon.org movement going on over here, we won't have to worry for a second about that! BTW, have you set up a profile yet? DO IT NOWWWWW!!!! As us missionaries say: "Suffer it to be so Now! As in getting baptized right now!" Ooh, birthday is this transfer! Woot. I'm stoked.

Well, I'll let you know on what's going on in the mission. I love you all. Thanks for your support, your love and your letters. Hugs and handshakes. Take luck!
