Hello ! Life has been quite a bit easier, I get along really good with my new companion. He's pretty quiet but we have good times. The baptism on Saturday went pretty well. I gave a talk on the Holy Ghost. I was nervous but life goes on. Paul Peacock is the one who got baptized, he is awesome ! I have enjoyed getting to know him ! We are going to be teaching him the new member lessons so that will be fun. The weather here has been miserable. I got my first taste of humidity. It feels like your riding around in a plastic bag. It was only like 80 degrees but holy crap I thought I was going to die. The second you step outside you start sweating and you don't stop until you take a shower before you go to bed. Its crazy. You think I would lose weight but it makes me thirsty and hungry so i eat more ! Luckily today its not to hot. My roomates are going to Mt Vernon to go see George Washingtons house. We were invited to go but it would be an all day event and I want a day to kind of relax emotionally and physically. My companion agreed we would rather stay home. The missionary work is going a little better. We tracted into a guy who agreed to let us come back on Thursday Morning and help him spread some mulch. We are excited about that ! Then we have an investigator named Andy, I have never met him because he got deployed 6 months ago. Well he is back and we got in touch with him and we are going to teach him on Thursday afternoon ! I have a good feeling about him. My companion is trying to teach me how to solve a rubicks cube. Its hard ! Its fun though trying, takes the stress out of life. Its hard to have to plan for every second of the day, to have to be doing something constantly. So how is david getting around? Does he have to do crutches? Wheelchair? That will be fun to see them when they come out. So you leave to cali in like 2 days ! You are so lucky you have no idea. I want to go there when I get home !!!! Well I hope your doing good ! I will send you a few pics in a minute...I love you !!! Elder Davie
