Well another pday in the works. The day has gone pretty good so far. We went off roading at 7 with a member who has a land rover and it was pretty fun. We got stuck about three times but thats part of the fun. I actually got some pretty good pics but will have to send that next time ( I say that all the time but never actually do anything about it). Although i did get some sand in my camera and it kind of broke so i'll have to try and fix that.

Ok so we now have three baptismal dates set. Two for Adam and Anahera because they couldn't find Ana's records so both of them will be baptized this saturday, the 13th. The third date is for Mary who we finally got to church for the 2nd time yesterday, its actually pretty funny like we went and saw them (mary and her less active daughter and two grandchildren) an hour or two before church started and then church started and they still weren't there and they called us like 5 min into sacrament and asked for directions, but they eventually got there so thats good. And Mary will be baptized on the 20th (knock on wood). Other than that we still do not have any other people really progressing. It's pretty hard and lame...but the work must go on.

Also I mass mailed some letters home for you to send out if you could do that for me. One is to conner, another to mason, and the other to austin. I've actually gotten two letters from mason so thats pretty cool, but it took me forever to write him back...or to write anyone really. There is always something to do. So missionary culture is pretty weird. Like you start liking things you probably wouldn't have liked before, or buy stuff you wouldn't have bought before, or pick up stuff from off the side of the road you normally wouldn't have. also everyone is into scrapbooking, like they refuse to believe and deny that it is scrapbooking but it is and its pretty gay but like that is what happens. Like missionaries like to decorate stuff..like their planners, preach my gospel, binders, and especially sign journals but i guess if anything needs to be scrapbooked its your mission right? the best two years of your life? right?...nah just kidding.

So how is the superbowl going. Is it over. I hope the Colts win/won. I like the Saints 0%.

Thats stupid about the truck getting broken into....that WOULD happen to jenn. But sounds like work is still going well with this conference and all. The place you are staying at sounds amazuhzing....why do you guys do all the cool stuff once i leave...geez...jk. We've actually seen a school? pack? swarm? family? of dolphins pretty close up that was pretty cool...but we weren't on the beach or anything...really we weren't....cause there wasn't a beach we were driving on the road right next to the ocean and it was like a little rocky cliff dealy instead of a beach, but it doesn't matter, what matters is that we saw dolphins.

Well I should have starting doing this a while ago but will hopefully start soon and that is to start kind of prewriting my letters or at least what to include in them at the end of everday. Dad already suggested that but I was in denial and didn't think i needed to but hopefully my emails will start to be better. But for the meantime deal with it...jk...but seriously you'll have to settle for this...jk. Love you guys and miss you all and i will talk to you all next week.
