Hey Family thanks for the emails

Glad everyone's doing good, what with the baseball and the temple and the school and such.

Sounds like you're having some pretty steamy weather over there, hope it doesn't get too bad. It's been decent here; so far its been around 70 for a while now because of all the rain storms and stuff. Which reminds me, we went to this quincenara (spelled horribly wrong Im sure) that a girl in the Spanish branch invited all the missionaries to last Friday. When we come out it's pouring rain and we all only have bikes, let's just say it was pretty fun getting home, wish I would have gotten a picture. That wasn't the first and I'm sure isn't the last time that'll happen to me, so I'll prob get one soon.

Anyway, this was a pretty good week. We got to do some service at the railroad museum again, hence the train pictures, then went over to the new 1st councilor's house for a classic brat and beans dinner. Yesterday the stake had a goodby open house for Pres. which was really nice, plenty of RCs and inv. came. Today we went to Lambo (ask dad for real spelling) which was pretty cool. They let us go inside a sky box and onto the field through the tunnel the players use, along with the sounds that they hear as they run out. Also talked to the guide guy about missionaries and where I'm from and such. That place has a lot of football history to it.

Tell Nanny and Papa thanks for the letters and cookies. They had a couple of questions and they said I could just put them on here.

They asked:

-'Are you learning some of the language?' I'm not actively learning it, but I am picking up some of the common phrases and words. Its a really different language.

- 'These people are from Loas right?' Ya, before they were came to America they lived in Loas and Thailand mostly. A lot still live there.

- 'Is there a big congregation of them? Do they have their own branch or ward or are they with caucasions?' No they don't have their own branch, they're with us whiteys. There are about 12 active ones and hopefully 2 more soon (Leng and Yer ).

In other news we're in the process of going through and tracking down all the potential inv. in the area that we've tracted into or been referred to. We taught one the other day (our next door neighbor) and she said she would be baptized if she knew what we said was true. Since what we said is true, I guess she'll be baptized. She had a lot of interesting q's on baptism and the Book of Mormon, all of which we answered. We also found 2 solid inv. in a house down the street, well actually they found us, they actually called us over when we rode by. We taught a restoration lesson on the door and they started asking if we had phamlets and a number, etc. to learn more about it before we even asked if they wanted to. The Lord is blessing us here in GB, I just wish there was more time in the day.

Thanks for the future hump day package, we prob got it today, just haven't been able to check the mail yet.
Have a great week everyone!

Love
