yes i got the sets! thank you so much! they came and all is well. thats funny that you track me with my debit card transactions! haha, what ever it takes to let you know that i am still alive! haha :)

you asked about doug and kaitlyn bryant, and i am sorry i should have explained better earlier but they are both members but have been compleatly inactive sence they were both 8! so they have the knolage of a non member but they have already been dunked! ;) haha, but they are doing absolutly amazing! they have compleatly turned their lives around and are hands down my favorite people i am working with right now! i will have to get some pics of me with their kids! they are so cute and fun! haha so ya they are doing so amazing! :)

Elder mace goes home in 7 weeks! so next transfer! so if i make it through the next transfer i will kill him as well! haha, kinda crazy that i might be killing my first two comps! we have a new mission pres so who knows what he will do for transfer so there is a possiblity that i could get transfered...i pray not but we'll see, i will find out next sat if i am or not. transfers are on the tuesday after the 25th! wht everday that is! :)

elder fairbank is the most amazing individual! he has such a strong spirit about him and is always such a inspiration to me! im not sure what his handicap is but he really stuggles! he is the sweetest kid! hes is from nothern new york and has only been out one transfer more than me! i sure am haveing to strech out here because my comp is the DL and so i get to go on exchanges with all the companionships in our district and as crazy as it sounds, ever one of the companionships has a so called new misiionary in it! so i am bringing them into my area and i am in charge and it is crazy! haha, i cant believe how much of a differnece a few months makes in the mission! haha, it is a amzing expirence to see the change not only in my self but in the other missionarys that are new and close by! :) I am way excitded for this coming monday, i get to go on a exchage with the zone leaders in their area so that is going to be amazing! a Huge learning expirence! They are aamzing missionarys so that will be way fun! :) Last week i told you about elder harpor! well he got a letter from his dad this last week and he said that his dad talked to Dee Darington (who is in his home ward) who talk to my dad! haha WOW it is such a small world! :) so ya, Dee knows elder harpor! :) kool story ya! haha ;)

and dad, ya the pipe extentions were pretty bad last year! :) but thats so good you got them fixed! along with the sonic oops,.... dang that hurts! i am so sorry! :( haha ya i dont want to hear any complaining from any of you wen it is 85! it would stay at 85 here i would be soo happy! :) haha, but still the weather is amazing compared to the valley!!!!:) it wierd, the hottest part of the day is morning and it gets up to about 90-96ish and it is really humid, then about 2:00 in the afternoon storm clouds gather in and cools it down really nice, the at like 4:00 it rains for a few hours! it is a blast biking around in the rain! :) haha but ya i am surving! the best way that i can explain snowflake to you is like...take idaho Falls and shrink it down to 3000 ppl! haha, kinda:) its a amzing little town! i hope you can come see it some day and meet some the amazing ppl here! :) i have some lows during the nights but i wake up and get them taken care of no big deal! but i am going through alot less insiln and dont use nearly as much as i use to for corrections! :) so it has taken a little bit of adjusting but i am starting to get into the swing of things! :)

I got the package you sent me yesterday! wow that couldnt have come at a better time! i absoulty love the shirt and shorts! they both fit perfecly! :) i was actually going to try to buy some cargo shorts for pdays today but what do ya know,,, they show up in the mail! :) love them and thanks! and so last night i laid in bed and ate scooby fruit snack read you letters! it made my day! yesterday was so long! we only taough one lesson so we just made visits and bike a crap load! haha so ya it was long! but thats ok, :)

our area is doing so well right now! last transfer i street contacted a guy and he said we could come by and talk with him and he was kinda iffy about it but he still let us come over and we have been teaching him for the past few weeks and he is doing amazing! his name is Aaron Nicholes! he has a baptismal date for the 24th of July (yes it willbe a crazy day) and i dont think we could talk him out of being bapised! it is soo kool! he has come to church the past two weeks and is half way through 2 nephi! he is amazing! then we also have a date with Cody Overly for the 24th, but that one will probley have to be pushed back a little! but thats ok! he is doing well also! and then tonight we have a lesson with a family and we will be setting a date with there two youngest boys, 11 yrs old and 13 yrs old, so that will be way sweet! things are going amaizng here and the work is moving so fast! :) its incredible! :) Last p day me, mace, jenkins, hilton, zakimi, and harpor went exploring out east of town and we found a huge canyon with a river at the bottom! we finally found a way down and in a cave thing at the bottom we found some indaian carvings! way kool! i will send some pics:)
