I'm glad you liked the pictures, thats just a little taste of what its like here. The place is really nice, ive definitely been blessed for the time being. And yeah, ive been out a little while now, it doesn't really seem like it, i wouldn't say I'm completely seasoned. haha. but i can take care of things. lol. Teaching really isn't much of a problem anymore, there's still so much to improve on though. The month's been good, i don't know where the time went, but we've been doing our best to keep busy. I'd say i'm staying pretty healthy, I think ive gained a pound or two since ive been out, but thats about it. i usually run three times a week and in between do some kind of work out. Plus we bike around 20 miles everyday on average. So i'm not too worried. At least for now. Sometimes i'd like to make meals but don't have a cookbook.

the works been going good, sometimes its a little frustrating when all of our appointments cancel, but i guess that just comes with the work. When we do teach, it normally goes well though. We listened to pres. christensen of the 70 on monday, so that was lots of fun. he talked about ways to recognize the spirit and how to use it on a daily basis so thats one of our companionships goals, to find ways to have the spirit with us and just making sure to be obedient with all the little things. I really enjoy the teaching environment, there's so many little things I want to improve on, but the growing experience is well worth it. I just want to be a better, more effective missionary.

I should probably get going now though, my time has been running short. Thanks for the news though, and keeping in touch. Until next time....
