Hey yea I can’t believe that this week I will have been out a year!

So I’m still in the same area and I will be “killing off” elder Meisenheimer so it seems like I’ll be here for another 3 months because elder Meisenheimer will be going home the end of this transfer and they probably won’t be double transferring us out. Oh and for baptisms I’ve been in the area for 3 but I played a major part in another 2 but got transfer out right before them so I counted 5 so far.

And my favorite thing on my mission so far is all the different people that I’ve have been able to meet in a whole lot of different places and to be able to see the gospel change some of their lives has been pretty amazing

And this last week I managed to run over a shard of glass and pop my tire and that bent my rim so we walked a lot. One day we walked for about 5 or 6 hours straight but we were able to do a lot of street contacting and a little bit of tracting and towards the end of it we ran into a member that was just getting done with school and was walking home so that was pretty neat. Oh and I will be getting the bike fixed this week so that will be nice. Oh and thank you for the salt water taffies they are pretty good.
