Hey Family!!

This week has been very interesting. This is my companions last week as a missionary. He will be going to the mission home tomorrow. So today we are doing a BBQ thing for him. We killed two dogs, which was kinda sad, and we are suppose to get two cats but the man didnt come through with them. So ya, this morning was kinda crazy. I took some pictures of it too.

So for this week, as i said, it wasnt very interesting. Just the usual stuff. EXCEPT, i we went on splits on Friday and i went with Elder Turner. We went and taught this small girl whos dad was just barely baptized. And there was this guy sitting on a bench by where we were teaching. We didnt really mind him but everytime i was teaching a part of the lesson i would look and talk to him too. At the end of the lesson i asked the girl if she had any questions and i asked that guy too and for some reason i gave him a big smile. They didnt have question but the guy said something. He said, "You know, i'm always here when you people teach but you NEVER minded me. But you (me) are the first one to ever talk to me and to smile at me. I am glad you did. Now hopefully your friends will mind me know." I was pretty happy to hear that. I always smile and wave to people and i can tell people love it when i do haha. So hopefully i'll have more to talk about this next week.

Mom, i was able to get my money! There were no problems. So thank you a lot! It's been nice having extra cash.

Well that's it for now. Have a good week!

Love
